ALWAYS "iN THE SUN"

Since the Philippines and Porto
Rico became United States posses
sions, the boast has often been made
that the sun never sets on United
States territory. For all practical
purposes this is true, but strictly the
distance between the little island Of
Culebra, virtually a part of Porto
Rico and hitherto the furthest east
point on United States territory, is
little less than $50 degrees-half
the worlds circumference that
for about minute and twelve sec
onds in each twenty-four hours, Unit
cd States territory has been without
a place in the sun"
Since we have acquired the Danish
West Indies the statement that the
sun never sets on Uncle Sans domin-
ion is literally true, for st. Croix, one
of the new islands, extends about
thirty eight miles east from Culebra.
This makes our territory extend few
miles beyond the necessary $50 dc
grees. just as the sun makes its ap-
rearance at dawn on St Croix il is
fading from sight at Balabao. SINH

occurs almost simultaneously with
sunset on the former.
