Big Days Work for
Sun Tomorrow

Old Sol. the well-known luminary,
Will have his hardest days work in
the year tomorrow, for he is due to
beam on Washington for fourteen
hours and forty-eight minutes. which
Is about two minutes more beaming
than he will be called on to do any
other day in 1914
At 4:42 g. m. he will rise from
somewhere beyond Maryland. but
about two hours before that time,
1:57 to be exact, he will have touch
the Tropic of Cancer and by the
time his first rays hit the Capitol
dome he will already be on his way
back south. Sunset will occur here
at 7:3o p. m. 1t will be just about
noon in India when the northern
most point in the suns apparent
course Is reached, and in that coun-
try the sun will hang directly over
the Tropic Of Cancer for a few mo-
merits.
Both in 1914 and in 1915, June q
will be the longest day Of the year,
but in 1916. leap year, the extra day
in February will move the calendar

seconds. from 1:57 tomorrow morn
ing before the earth and sun are In
the same relative position, which will
be at 7:6 g. m. June 22 1915. The
next instance will be 1:57 p. m. June
q. 1916.
In addition to being q trying day

fashioned man who works from sun

of daylight for chasing the King. A
perusal of the old style almanac
shows that those who 60 out bare
