An old globe circler says that in
going around the world there is scarce
ly one traveller in a hundred who re-
members that In going from east to
west a day is gained and that in going
from west to east a day Is lost. Many
of those who come into contact with
this truth knew all aboutAit when they
were at school, but never think Of it
on the high seas. In illustration of
the point he tells this story:
"My first trip around the world was
from England to Australia. Out In
the middle of the Pacific a sign was
put announcing that the date was
Thursday, July II. This was all right,
but the next day the same sign was
put up again. This was an oppor-
tunity for those of us who thought we
were real wise to show the ships
officers that $hey were not infallible.
After we had expended our choicest
sarcasm and had been rebuffed by va
rious officers the captain set US
straight
ION my way back one day the card
went up announcing that it was Satur
day, Aug. 10. The next day the sign
said Monday, Aug. Is. Two ministers
on board thought the captain some
what profane old salt, who had skip
ped day to avoid the religious serv-
ices which they had prepared. He
convinced them that 1t was a mere
coincidence that on that particular
date the lost day was Sunday. Since
then have never attempted to teach
the ships navigator his business, and
he can skip a century If he wishes
without my saying a word.'-Balti-
