As twilight Is caused by the refrac-
ton of the atmosphere. without which
We should be instantly In darkness ut
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 sun mt the equator Is so
nearly vertical that its disappearance
is prupOrtionally rapid.
The shortest twilight ut the equator
Is one hour and twelve minutes ut the
equinoxes In March and September;
the longest Is one hour and nineteen
minutes at the solstices in June and
December.
In London from Mny % to July q

wonder, with disparity so great. peo-
pie speak of night in the tropics as
coming on almost suddenly. Farther
north still. In the Shetlands and Nor
way, we speak OF the midnight sun.
where men never lose sight Of the orb
OF day and twilight Is unknown.-Lon-
