A day" in scientific usage, means
not simply the period, contrasted
with night" during which the sun is
,bove the horizon and daylight pre-
walls, but the entire period (including
9th the hours of darkness and those
Of Light which the earth takes in
making one complete turn on its axis
with reference to the sun. This is
the solar, or ordinary, day.
There is also sidereal day, used
by astronomers, which is measured
by the period OF the earth's rotation
with reference to fixed star. 1t is
about four minutes shorter than the
mean solar day, but we are not con-
cerned with it here.
For convenience merely, and not
because there is any reason for it
in nature, we make the day begin at
midnight, and divide it into twenty
four equal intervals, called hours. The
earth rotates from west to east, so
that the sun seems to move fromseast
TO west. The whole angular distance
round the earth is 800 degrees, and
the sun must therefore move (appar-
ently) fifteen degrees westward every
hour (l5x25--360).
Now, suppose that you could fly
westward round the earth just fast
enough TO keep up with the sun,
starting at noon. Then it would al.
ways be noon for you, no matter over
what part Of the earth you were. You
would have one long endless day, with
no change of date. If it were Sunday
noon when you started it would (for
YOU be the same noon when you got
round again to the starting point.
But for people living at that point
there would have been change. They
would have had an intervening night
and, for them Sunday would have
passed away, and Monday would have
taken its place. Where did the Sunday
end and the Monday begin, and how
did you miss the change?
To make the answer clear we will
suppose that you started from the
meridian, or 'noon-line," of Green.

have agreed to use as the starting

Baked Shad
By CONSTANCE CLARKE.

Well dressed, and with a good sauce,
fish is more appreciated than almost
any other dish. The liver and roe may
be placed on the dish with the fish in
the course of serving.
Cut the fish down from the gills
about six inches, wash and scrape
clean from scales, wipe dry with
clean cloth. Make stuffing of bread
crumbs, chopped parsley, some salt
pork finely COPIED, pepper, salt and
little butter. Fill the fish with this
and sew it up. Dredge little flour
over it and lay the pork over it. Bake
forty minutes, then put the fish on

LITTLE JOKER
 IN BRNiY BILL
 IS DISCOVERED
Would Have Been a Mice Weapon for Enemies of Wood to Knock

KEPT SILENT BY LAW

KEPT SILENT BY LAW
 WASHINGTON. Aug. IS. -Cspcc. iaD-A 'Joker'' inserted In the an. nual army appropriation bin behind the closed doors of conference committee Is likely to play hob with discipline in the military service and Ilead to an epidemic Of criticism of army administration on the part Of retired officers, according to em- phatic opinions voiced today after the joker" was discovered.
 The joker" provides in effect that retired officers and enlisted men of the regular army are not to be amen- able Go military law, and may criti. else freely officers and men in active service with whom they associated formerly on intimate terms.
 Hay Is Author
 The author Of the so.called "jok. CT" is Representative James Hay of Virginia, chairman of the House committee on military affairs and chairman of the House conferees on the appropriation bill.
 Mir. Hay recently was appointed a judge of the United States Court of Claims. life position, but is con. tlnuing to serve in the House until pending military legislation with which he is thoroughly familiar has been enacted.
 He assumed entire responsibility for the provision written into the conference report. He announced in the House the President was satis. fled with the report of the confereos on the army bill. He spent more than an hour discussing the legis. latlon with the President.
 N Result Of Army Feud2
 lt is said that Mir. Hay secured his amendment so that General Fred Ainsworth. former Adiutant General of the army and now retired, might publish safely his side in a contro. yersy he had with General Leonard Wood, while the latter was chief Of staff. This controversy led to the enforced retirement of General Ainsworth.
 The conference committee substi. tuted complete agreement today, and the report will be called up in the Senate tomorrow by Senator Chamberlain.
 The bill as agreed to In confer cnce carries a total of S267,597, 900 as compared with $lOl,OOO.OOO for last year.
 Two million dollars is provided for getting excused guardsmen back to their homes from the border Two millions is appropriated for training camps similar to Platts- burg. and this will care for 10000 men.
 Disagree On Naval 5ul
 The conferees on tho naval bill voted today to disagree on the big construction program and personnel increases. the only remaining points of dispute in that measure, so that tho issues might be referred back for quick settlement by the two Houses themselves
 Members of the House, the major ity Of whom are away ou-yacation, will be ,called back to Washington next week for a vote on these sec tions of the bill.
 (The joker was discovered by President Wilson and lead to his vetoing the bill which was reported in the Empire dispatches Of last Saturday)
