Sunset and Twilight.

Twilight is a phenomenon caused by
atmospheric refraction. When the sun
gets below the horizon we are not I'M
mediately plunged into the darkness of
night. Although the sun is below our
horizon, rays of solar light are bent or
refracted by the terrestrial atmosphere
and continue to furnish some slight
illumination. The process continues
with diminishing intensity until the
sun Is so far below the horizon that
the refractng power of the atmosphere
Ia no longer able to bend the rays
enough to produce a visible effect. The
time after sunset that the sun reaches
such a position varies with the lati-
tude of the place. There is less twi-
light at the tropic zone than at the
temperature or frigid zone. This is due
to less time taken by the suns rays to
pass through the atmosphere. at the
tropic zone the suns rays being per
pendicular and at the temperate and
frigid zones oblique.

Influence Of the "Grsat Circle" on the
Journey to Manila.
If you wanted to go from the Pana-
ma canal to Yokohama which of these
two would be the shorter route? First.
across the ocean to Hawaii and from
there to Yokohama. or. second. up
along the coast to San Francisco and
then directly across the Pacific to Asia
Nearly everybody would answer in
favor of the Hawaiian route. But the
navigators tell us the journey Is 266
miles shorter by way of San Francisco.
The great circle" does 1t. Its influ
ence on distance sends ships from San
Francisco to Manila by way Of the
Aleutian islands. Actually our vessels
would 60 much farther north than they
do but for the Encouragement of the
United States photographic bureau at
Washington. which advises a central
route. more than 200 miles longer than
the great circle. in order to escape the
fogs and ice Of the far north. -
The Hawaiian Islands are frequently
described as "the crossroads Of the Pa.
cific." Their people are naturally iook-
ing forward to wonderful commercial
development. They will doubtless en-
Joy substantial progress as comrner-
