Prom Sunrise to Sunset.

With the acquisition of the Danish West Indies the easternmost portion of santa Cruz will become the sunrise point of American territory. The sum set point is now at the western point of Balabac, southwest of Palawan, in the Philippines, and just across the strait from Borneo. The Longitude of these outposts is as follows: Sunrise on Santa Cruz, GA degrees 34 seconds West Greenwich. Sunset on Balabac, IF degrees minutes East Greenwich. In other words, the meridian of Amer ican sunrise will be separated from the meridian of American sunset by just ITS degrees and 28 minutes, about 12,000 miles, and the expansive Amer ican territory will lack less than 100 miles of reaching half way round the globe. Undoubtedly we can claim the Aun never sets on American soil.- Worcester SDy

FRANKS OF BIG EEL.
Travelled Through Water Pipe and
 Shut Down Factory.
Owners of the Establishment Place the Value of the Monster Fish at Not Less Than Three
 Hundred Dollars.

A well-developed eel on a tour of exploration, says the Brooklyn Eagle, arrived the other morning at the works of the Barrett Manufacturing company, foot of Smith street, and promptly suspended all operations there. The anguilla tenuirostris, en- tering, blocked a tw6-inch water pipe which feeds the boilers and caused such 2 general disturbance that 137 men were thrown out of employ ment for more than four hours. His eelship was extracted with consider able difficulty, and when measured was found to have the following dimensions:
 Circumference e.....................8A inches Length of head. ad........................4 1 inches Width across tail. 4 inches nea .i PounGs
 Where the eel came from is more than any of those who saw him could explain, but all have a strong sls- picion that he came from up Ridge wood way, and for many years dis ported in one of the big reservoirs, from whence flows Rroolklyn's water supply. It was 9:30 o'clock when the new arrival was first discovered. Shortly before that hour Engineer Patrick Welch went to Chief Engineer George Stewart and reported that not so much as drop of water was flowing into the boiler.
 Chief Engineer Stewart renewed his search for the trouble. He tapped on the water pipes to learn if any where he could find an obstruction. Away up near the ceiling he discov- cred something wrong. With his as- sistant he removed length of two inch pipe. He found what he sup posed was length of black rubber hose. He made a closer investigation and nearly fell from the ladder when he saw the obstruction wriggle.
 'sIt's alive. Call White and Bowling" shouted Engineer Stewart.
 A length of pipe was taken down after much work and then a part of the eel was exposed to view. It was so slimy and fitted the pipe so snugly that the men were unable to remove it from it's imprisonment. A string was procured and,fastenedaroun the body of the eel. The slimy coat was also we'll rubbed with sand.
 Finally the eel was pulled out of the pipe and carried to water barrel and tossed in.
 Chief Engineer Stewart was we'll pleased with his capture. Said he:
 That's as fine an eel as ever saw and it's as fat as seal. What do I expect to do with it? Why, eat it, of course. It is a litss too large for my family, but there are other men here who will gladly share it with me.
 'sThat eel went distance of 50 feet in our pipes. After leaving the. main in the street he went up a four-inch pipe about Is feet to the ceiling and was carried along all right until he att tempted to go down. Then he struck two-inch pipe and got wedged in so tight that not a drop of water got into the boiler.
 ..Yes, sir, that's a fine eel. He's worth $3 or S4. Eat him? We'll, guess"
 The officials of the Barrett Manufac- turing company say their chief engi- neer,s estimate of the value of the eel is altogether too low. That eel, they say, is worth nearer $500 or $400, at least that is what it cost the company a
