WHERE THERE'S NO XMAS.
A Spot In the Middle Pacific Where
 Dec. 25 Exists Not.

DeC. 70 GElSIS iNOC.
 The Christmas hater may be made happy He can have his wish and go somewhere where there isn't any Christmas" He will not have to die to do it either, but he will have to be good sailor in order to fully enjoy his paradise, which is not on earth It Is on water Let him start on his search from Vancouver, B. C., on Dec IS in the direction of the orient. As the days pass and he comes nearer and nearer the 25th of the month he may begin to feel uneasy and think himself the victim of q joke. Even as late as bedtime on Dec. 24 he may feel resent full over what he fears is wild goose sail. He may fall asleep thinking of the disagreeable things he will do next day just because 1t will be Christmas but he will be disappointed, for when he wakes in the morning he will find 1t the 26th of December. The 2oth is not and has not been. It seems to have passed in the night. It is gone completely--but where? An expert enced navigator explains the lapse thus In just about the middle of the Pa cific ocean is the one hundred and eightieth degree of longitude, and when that imaginary line is reached the westward traveller drops one day out of his calendar for the year. That line crosses the antipOdes, or point oN the earth's surface which is precisely opposite to Greenwich, England, the place at which by common consent of all nations the counting of time begins At monday, when the sun is directly overhead at Greenwich, at other points to the westward the time will be earli- CT by one hour for each 15 degrees of longitude, so that when 190 degrees is reached 1t will be midnight.
 "Twelve hours have thus been gain ed, and the other twelve would be add ed if the journey around the globe were completed. So by universal agree ment the 25th of December would be dropped by all navigators reaching the fatal line on the previous day, and travellers would be cheated out of their Christmas at the only place on the earth's surface where such thing could happen. n.'-Montreal Star.
