The Way of Long Twilight.

On FIRST thought IL seems 10 be a
rather paradoxical statement that the
nearer we approach TO the equator the
shorter Is thai intermediate stage or
transition from day 10 night and from
night to day which we call twilight -
tbs being the case. however, the pc.
Rod of duration OF THE dim, UNCERTAIN
light In all tropical countries is very
short when. compared will that nt
countries OF high northern or southern
latitude. The explanation Is this: On
The equator the. SUMS path Is at exact
right angles with the horizon. The last
beam. of light fades from view when
The sun is ait Is degrees below the horl.
ron. This is degree mark Is quickly
zen clled at the equator for reasons Civ.
Ell IN the first sentence OF this explan ma.
zion; The farther from the eduaror we
get the less become the angles which
the suns course, makes with the horizon
and tine longer Tie time required fot
hin, TO reach the 10 degree mark; hence
rue longer the period Of twilight.

The ElYinn.Eish Problem.

The point which | think solves the
problem is that the fish with its modi-
fed form of tail intentionally gains
fresh impetus by lowering the latter
half of its body into the water and
rapidly vibrating the tail, without,
however, immersing or even folding
the pectorals. The point seemed so
obvious 10 me that l can only feel
surprised that it should have escaped
any accurate observer The motion
OF the fins seen when the fish touches
the water is merely an unsteadiness
caused by the Conyulsive movements
of the tail. Probably the length OF
each clear flight is influenced by
force and direction of wind, but have
seen them go for quite 100 yards,
without touching the surface. - ].
