Division of Time.

Though the fundamental division
IF time, the day, appears intuitive to
most persons, it is we'll to remember
that in the arctic regions the marking
IF this division is by no means easy
During several successive months the
sun is either always below or always
above the horizon. and the only
nethod-a very uncertain one - of
distinguishing between day and night
Is to observe the times of high and
low tide. Division of time into
months comes from the motions Of
he moon. Malays, Polynesians and
Australian aborigines reckon time ex-
,lusively by months and days
That greater unit of time, the year,
characterized by the regular success
sion Of the seasons, has presented the
greatest difficulties to exact determin-
alton, partly because the seasons are
not sharply distinguished in some re-
gions, partly because of the universal
desire to establish among the year.
month and day simple relations which
find no support in the facts of astron-
omy.
Inhabitants of Venus, if there are
any, must find it extremely difficult
to establish units Of time. Venus al
ways turns the same face toward the
sun; SO the planet has no day, and
the lack of moon deprives it of a
month. Finally. it has no year, for
its axis of rotation is perpendicular
to the plane of it's orbit, and the lat
ter is almost circular. -Chicago News.
