Short and Long Twilight.


As twilight IL caused by the refrac-
tion of the atmosphere. without which
we should be- instantly in darkness at
sunset. all parts OF the earth have
twilight. though of varying duration.
When the sun has sunk eighteen de-
grees below the horizon no more light
can be refracted anywhere. but the
path of the SUI at the equator Is so
nearly vertical that its disappearance
Is proportionally rapid.
The shortest twilight at the equator
Is one hour and twelve minutes at the
eQuinoxes in March and September:
the longest is one hour and nineteen
minutes at the sOlstices in June snd
December
In London from May % to July 81
it is twilight all through the night No
wonder. with disparity so great. peo-
pie speak of night in the tropics as
coming on almost suddenly. Farther

Daily Motion of tho Earth.

Astronomers are not agreed as to
the cause of the earth;s daily motion
and how the force of that motion is

would. of course. cause the earth to
rotate upon its axis. and nv the law
of inertia Of matter must continue to
revolve at uniform rate of speed,
This Flaw Of the inertia of natter Is
to the effect that matter once set in
motion must continue to move until

Though Burns finished stronger thar
