IT TRAVERSES THE PACIFIC. The Way This Important Boundary Came to Be Established — Spots Where Today, Tomorrow and Yester- day Are Still a Confused Jumble. It Is evident that the day must begin somewhere, though It is a confusing thing to undertake to determine Just where, for one may go on and on around the world and never catch up with it. On the other hand, if we are not careful in reasoning we will reach the absurd conclusion that it 1s Mon- day noon and Tuesday noon at the same time in any given place, A writer In the Bt, James’ Gazette treats this peculiar phase of the sub- Jeet in a very definite WAY. Seeing that as one moves westward the time gets earlier and earlier, 80 that when it is Monday noon in Lon- don It Is some time on Monday morn- ing In America, it follows that, if this principle were continued without limit halfway round the world, at the same moment that it was Monday noon in Loudon it would be also twenty-four hours later—that is, Tuesday noon—in London. As this is reductio ad absur- dum, we have to look for the limit which does, in fact, exist, on the prin- ciple that as one moves westward the time gets earlier and as one moves eastward it gets later, Before the circumnavigation of the globe there was no difficulty. When on a Monday the sun stood over Lon- don it was Monday noon in London. As the sun moved (to use the popular phrase) westward and stood a little later over Dublin it became Monday noon In Dublin, and so on until} It reached the western limit of the known world. When the sun passed over that limit that was the end of noon for that Mon- day, and nobody knew what the sun was doing until he reappeared on the eastern limit of the known world, bringing with him Tuesday morning. It therefore, that while the sun was in the unknown abyss be- tween west and east he dropped the at- tribute of making the time at all places directly under his rays Monday noon and took to himself the attribute of making It Tuesday noon. As the confines of the world were pushed farther eastward and west: ward, respectively, the unknown abyss where this change of attribute had to be made got narrower and narrower until, when the globe was circumnavi- gated, the place of change became siioply a line This line exists and is the place where the days begin. As the sun crosses this remarkable spot the time Jumps twenty-four hours onward from noon one day fo noon on the next day. The situation of the line has been located quite fortultously—namely, by the circumstance whether any given place was first reached by civilized man journeying from the east or from the west, The discoverer brought with him the almanac from whence he came, and if he came from the west the time In the new country would be later, and if he came from the east it would be earlier than the time In the country he came from. America was reached by civilized man voyaging westward and China by man traveling eastward, and the result is that the line that marks where the days begin lies between these two in the Pacific ocean and, instead of being a straight line, zigzags about, dividing Islands which happened to be discover ed from the east from those which happened to be discovered from the west, There must still be many islands in that ocean where it Is not yet decided to which side of the line they belong and where, if one were put down, one would not know whether It were to day, tomorrow or yesterday. There must also be many Islands there which, never having been per- manently occupled by civilized people, change their day from time to time, so that a ship calling there coming from China might arrive on Tuesday, while another ship calling at the same time from America would arrive on Mon- day. There must be people living so near this line that by going a few miles they can leave today and get into to morrow or, by going back, can find yesterday. is evident, Jamaica's Green Turtles. An official of Jamaica in a report on turtle fishing, which is the chief indus. try of the Cayman islands, says that green turtles display an extraordinary sense of locality. It has happened tore than once that turtles markeu with the initials of thelr captors have escaped from thelr crawls in Grand Cayman and within three months have been recaptured at the fishing ground, a distance of over 300 miles. The last Instance of this was when a crawl was cut down and 200 turtles oscaped. Within three months thirty of them were caught by different fishing boats off the Nicaraguan coast, An Imaginary Trip.
