YOUNG EXPLORER
WILL SEARCH FOR
ANCIENT ARYANS
by United Press Leased wire

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. "a.
The world s youngest explorer
mas left here to search for branded
savages of Central and South Anne
rica whom he believes to be rem
nants Of an ancient Asiatic Aryan
race which migrated to this hcmis-
iphere in the dim past.
j. j. Bliss 10, accompanied by a
! University of Minnesota student,
! will attempt to motor the entire dis
! tance. If he succeeds in reaching
Ecuador by automobile il will be
the first time the journey has been
made overland. Bliss is taking
dynamite with him to blast way
when the jungles become impene-
| tratable by ordinary methods.
The Bliss theory of the origin of
the tribes he is seeking, several.
members Of whom he saw on a pre-
vious trip but whose villages he was
unable to locate, is based partly on
the, ancient sign Of the Swastika he
InOted branded on their faces.
Faces Branded
! 1t was this which led him to sur
mise they were the last remnants Of
! Aryan tribes supreme in Asia in pre-
! historic times. The one tribe in
Ecuador has the sign branded ON
| the faces of its members The CEN
trail American tribe uses the same
sign on its pottery.
| Bliss plans to bring back several
members of the "lost race if he Is
successful in discovering their VII
/ lagos. On a previous trip he en-
/ countered u number of the branded
savages but was unable to trace
them to their homes.
! The region inhabited by the CEN

/ According to an ancient legend n

a a wager which is not
surprising but the subject OF the
bet is unusual. It is about the
first day OF Spring, considered
evidently not from the Spring
poets point of view, but from
that of the practical man who
doesn't want even so agreeable
customer as Spring to do" him
with short count. The question
is whether, since Spring came in
this year on March 20, at 9:13
p. m. Central Standard Time,
the twentieth should be consider
ed as the first day of Spring or
the twenty-first.
The stakeholder and umpire
thinks that he should decide that
the twentieth was the first day
of Spring, because "a day is from
midnight until midnight" but
still he wants to settle 1t salts
factory to both parties.
AS far as the wager is con-
cerned, it would seem that he
might initiate the decision OF Sir
Roger de Coverly, that there is
much to be said on both Sides
But the subject itself is a delight

while away a few minutes snatch

81, when it was noon there and
noon all along the meridian run
ming through that point from
pole to pole.
At that same moment II was
S:13 q. M, March II, on the
prime meridian" of the earth,
which, by convention, has been
identified with that Of Greenwich,
England. Now, the sun appears
to go around the earth from
East to West, and since 1t takes
twenty four hours for one round
trip, and there are $50 degrees In
a circle, it follows that the sun
moves westward Is degrees in
every hour. Let us see, then, at
what hour and date Spring began
westward Of the prime meridian.
Our diagram will help US.
Since Is degrees correspond to
one hour, and the sun moves
westward, we see that when it
was 3:13 a. m. local time on the
prime meridian it was 2:1S local
time on the meridian marked Is
degrees; 1:13 on that of 80 de-
grees; 1913 a. m. Il, e., 13
minutes after midnighO at As de-
grees; and midnight at 48 de-
grees Is minutes. Keeping on
westward, we find that the date
has changed and that on the
meridian aof so degrees the time
is 11:13 p. M, March 90. This
is the meridian on which Colonial
Standard Time is based.
Next comes the 18th mer1d-
ian, the basis OF Eastern Time.
and there the hour was 1913
p. m. March 20, when it was
9:13 a. m. March FL on rhe
prime meridian and noon in the
East Indies, where the sun stood
vertical, poised centrally on the
equator. In other words, reckon
ed by local times, Spring began
about fourteen hours earlier in
the East Indies than at New
York: fifteen hours earlier than
at Chicago and seventeen hours
earlier than on our Pacific Coast.
Yet it had only one actual ald
fixed moment Of beginning, and
that moment reckoned by stan
dard world time, the time of the
prime meridian, was 8:1S a. Tl.,
March 21.
There is a point which have
not room to discuss here, viz:
the change of date. BY conven-
ton, new day begins every
stroke Of midnight. If the change
began at noon it would be incon-
venient, and to avoid this incon-
venience the change is assumed
to start on the anti-prinIe merid-
ian, that is the meridian of 1So
degrees, which, luckily, lies in
the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
If a world-encircling traveller
crosses that meridian going with
the sun he advances his date by
one day; if he crosses against
the sun, he goes back and courts
the same day over again.
