We recently made note of the
comparative length of the shortest
and longest days Of the year as
gauged by the rising and setting of
the sun in this section. Comment

makes the following observation:
"In Montana on the shortest day the
sun rises at $40 and sets at 4

II hours and &c minutes. This
makes Montana's shortest day 1
