ly nation that can say that the sun
never sets on its territory. Since
the United States acquired the DAN
ish West Indies, it can make the
same boast Hitherto the little is
land of Culebra, which is virtually
a part of Porto Rico, has been our
most easterly point of land. and the
island of Balabac, in the Philippines
our most westerly point. The dis
lance between them is just little
less than $50 degrees, or half the
circumference of tn e earth. st.
Croix, in the Danish West Indies, is
thirty-eight miles farther east than
Culebra-enough to bridge the gap.
Just as the sun is rising on st. Croix
it is setting on Balabac.
