SOME ASTRONOMICAL FACTS

To-day the sun will shine con-
tinuousIy on some section or other
of United States territory. Srion

the period from the third of April
to the tenth If September the sun
does rot set On the stars and
stripes hat thai every lection Of
the tw]enty-four hours the banner
of Uncle Sam is made visible by
the rays Of old Sol.
After September 10 and until
April 3 each year the opposite
condition prevails and some part
of the Ulital States II uinion is
continually in darkness. 1t is
only since the acquisiti Il nv the
United Staes OF the Sandwich and

a portion of the Samoan group that

Great Britain has long been
known as the center of an empire

II is not so well known however
that little Holland holds such
