LETTERS
"THE SUN NEVER SETS ON THE
U. S."

y T.
b College OF Hawaii, Feb. 81, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Your correspondent * sug-
gests that the question whether the sun
ever sets on the United States Is not
to be settled by noting the breadth
OF the country in longitude, but that
the latitude OF the extreme points
must be. considered. Your comment
is that there Is food for discussion. "
II the discussion Is not closed, please
give space for few facts that have
some bearing on the decision.
Before proceeding to the facts, how
ever. are not the supporters of no
sunset claiming little too much
when they hold that the sun has not
set on a region as long as the twilight
lasts? The sun, let us say, disappears
below the horizon of Honolulu at 900
p. m. Are we told that It has not set
at 6:30, because the twilight lasts as
long as that. or longer?
All will doubtless admit that the
sun has not set on an island as long
as its rays strike any mountain sum-
NIT, and to make the case for pa
suppose that st. Croix and Balabac
both have mountain SUBMITS equival-
ent to two miles elevation at the ex-
treme points of the coast lire. This
will have 10 times the effect of in
GLIDING the three miles of sea, as it
Will In effect extend the extreme
breadth to within IL minutes of 1870
degrees. On this supposition. stating
sunrise and sunset, for easy compari.
son, in time of the meridian so de-
grees east of Greenwich, we have the
following results:
On June q, the day in the latitude
OF Balabac is II b. % m. long, in that
OF St Croix, 10 h. m. Sunset at Bala-
bac occurs at 2:2S p. m, sunrise at
st. Croix at 1:44 p. m, as minutes
earlier. On that day, then, the sun
does not set on the possessions of the
United States, as IL Id degrees of the
st. Croix side are lighted before the
sun disappears from the other side.
On December 81, the day is IL h. go
m. long at Balabac. and 10 h. 56 m. at
st. croix. Sunset at Balabac occurs
az z:Ol p. m, sunrise at St. Croix at
.z;4S p. m, or AZ minutes later. So.
on December 81. even with our rather
liberal allowance in the matter of
mountains, the sun does set on the
possessions Of the United States, for a
period Of AZ minutes. That Is, when
the sun sets at Balabac it has not yet
risen at st. Croix, darkness and twi-
light extending almost IL degrees TO
the east of that island, besides cover
ing the whole breadth OF the country.
During the AZ minutes, the darkness
to the east of ST. Croix decreases,
while Il extends to the west of Rala.
bac, and reaches almost 12 degrees
beyond 1t when the sun rises at st.
Croix. The dates on which sunset at
Balabac and sunrise at st. Croix occur
at the same instant are March % and
September 20. Between these dates
the sun does not set on our posses
sions. After September 20, when the
sun sets at Balabac, darkness and
twilight cover the whole breadth of
the country, and extend beyond st.
Croix, by an amount which increases
from zero up to the maximum of IL
IA degrees on December 21, and then
decreases to zero again by March %.

SENDS
STATIONERY
TO REGISTR'S

Sheriff Brewster, ass chairman OF
the Registration Board for the reg
istration of those required tc regis
ter on June 5. 1917, has sent to the
registrars of the various wards and
precincts the cards; blanks and sta
tionery that will be required in the
performance of their duties on this
day.
Precautions have been taken to
compel complete registration OF all
between the ages of 21 and 30 years
of age, both inclusive. There has
been no intimation that there will
be any trouble in securing a full
registration. Should there be any
inclined to evade the law, the penal
ty is SO severe that the attempt to
do so would be foolish. 1t is said
that the years term Of imprsson-
ment provided for this offense must
be served after the delinquent has
served his time in the army-not
before. So he would not only be
registered and compelled to serve,
but would be imprisoned afterward.
