ToMORROW'S BIRTHPLACE.
Line In the Pacific Where II Shakes
Hands Hita Yesterday

Most people Who have ,ead Jules
Verne's Around the World I'm Eighty
Days" will remember how narrowly
the traveller missed his bet. having for
gotten that I'm following the sun from
east TO west he had gained one day.
When one crosses the Atlantic from
London 10 New York M gains rather
more than half an hour each day.
From New York TO Chicago another
hour is gained, another 10 Denver. an
other 10 san Francisco. which Is reck-
oning time eight hours later than Lon
doh and Of course the best part OF n
day later than Shanghai and Yokoha-
ma. In crossing the Pacific there
comes n time when the day begins.
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hands and where the traveller is cheat
ed out of n day in his life.
In mid-Pacinc. going west, one skips
from Sunday 10 Tuesday. Going east
he has one day OF the week repeated -
two Sundays or Tuesdays. as the case
may be.
The line OF the changing day is not
straight one. The islands in the Pa
cific take their time from the continent
with which they trade and from which
they were discovered. Thus the line
of the change zigzags down the Pa
cific from south to north. lodging be-
tween the islands.
Hence 1t might easily happen that
ship which has already skipped a day
would reach an island which cllngs to
San Francisco time. In such case il
would be Monday on shore and Tues
day on the ship.
II the ships jolly boat were lying at
wharf, it would be Monday on the
wharf and Tuesday on the boat
And II person lives somewhere
near the line he can get sailboat and
visit yesterday and tomorrow in the
most delightful fashion.

Senator Martin, of Virginia,
ibuts McCreary," says the New
Reporter. He is little, paunchy
man with a comical strut when he
walks. He is another of the silent
Senators. When he answers roll
call he does it in the most confiden-
lal manner possible, as if his vote
were matter entirely between
himself and the clerk. He always
has lot of Virginians in tow, be-
ause his State is next door. and ne
manages the politics SO as to be boss
the time. His colleague, Sena-
or John Warwick Daniel, sits next
TO him. Senator Daniel is the
'ride of the South. He is the sole
manning statesman Of the old
-chool. He is full of flowery per-
nd> and classic allusiOn. When
he makes a speech he presses all
tl'' figures of speech into active and
irneSt work. He can talk like

but he doesn't often do it now.

The dangers of the historic crinoline

Dorothy Nevill In her "reminiscences.

Inscriptions That Were a JOY to the
Cynics and Critics.

Cynies and Critics.
A collection OF coin notices gathered
by an Italian student. Amerigo Scar
latti, was published In Minerva. an
italian periodical. Scarlatt Is OF the

not intended TO be cynical. too often

Thus when Charles H.. king OF tue
two Slcilies. had engraved on his sill
yer ducat the Latin words "Unus non
Suf1cit," meaning lone is not enough"
all the world insisted on forgetting
that the king referred TO single scep-
ter and enthusiastically agreed with
him that one ducat wasn't enough for
any one.
On the contrary. a storm OF ironical
opposition was aroused when Louis de
Bourbon. king OF Etruria. In the early
part OF the last century inscribed "Vi-
deant Pauperes ct Lactentur'' on his
coins The words mean LET the poor
see and rejoice" and OF course every
one wanted 10 know why q poor man
should rejoice at merely seeing piece
OF money.
On the papal coinage OF 1873 bearing
the arms OF Gregory Kill are the
words EFT Super Hanc Petram" tAnd

An Epidemic of Misrepresentation.

Editor CALEDONIAN: -
That St. Johnsbury is suffering from
an epdemc of presentations, one
needs only to go out OF town short
distance to be convinced And just how
far reaching and injurious to our village
these Misrepresentation concerning the
health and condition Of it are, it is i'm
possible to conjecture.
The author of these stories which have
gone out, some OF them having been
printed in newspapers as facts, and re-
ported evidently by some one living in
town, has been misinformed and has
shown a sad lack of public spirit in re-
porting before investigating, or has re-
ported these stories with a malicious
intent Clippings of the most absurd
nature concerning our water supply
and things found at the source OF it,
have been taken from the newspapers OF
distant towns and cities. Readers of
these absurdities, knowing no facts to
the contrary, are excusable for looking
upon st. Johnsbury as a place to shun.
A recent issue of the CALEDoNIAN gave
a correct version of the number of
typhoid cases, which is but small per
cent of the number Of cases reported by
these misinformed newspapers to which
have referred, and not a case of it has
been traced to our regular water sup
ply neither has there been found in it
typhoid germs or anything else of a
communicating nature. We should be
thankful as a community that we are
so well supplied with water of exception
al purity.
am not writing this article in the
defense of any water corporation, but as
citizen of St. Johnsbury am ashamed
that these exaggerated and false stories
so well calculated to hurt us as a bust
ness center, to hurt our schools and
academy to stunt the natural growth
of our village should be given circula-
ton.
There are but few villages or cities that
are free from typhoid cases, and the
cause is usually located, as it has been
in St. Johnsbury, to the satisfaction Of
the authorities.
There is no reason for concealing any
facts where contagion exists, for safety
lies in the publicity OF it, but the continu-
ed circulation of exaggerated and false
statements of such, can be called nothing
else than an atrocious crime.

Accidentiu Chester Quarry.

While John Young and E. b. Morris OF
Chester were at work in the quarry OF
the American Soapstone Finish Co., Sept.
20, a quantity OF rocks and earth weigh
ing at least five tons suddenly slid down
upon the men, instantly killing Young.
Morris CHANGED to be near the outer edge
of the slide and was pinned to the
ground by a large stone. The injured
man suffered cuts on the neck, bruises
about the BODY, and one foot was
crushed. 1t is expected that he will live.
The two men, Young and Morris, had
worked together for % or 80 years, and
for long time had heeu employed in
getting out the soapstone at the quarry.
Young was 6S years old and is survived
by wife
