Was She a Detective 7
A bit of gossip is afloat, It is to the
effect that the very attentive Miss
Rearick was in the employment of a
Philadelphia detective agency while
in Centre Hall, and that while she was
most tenderly attending to the wants
of Mrs. From under the guise ofa
nurse, she was really searching for evi-
dence against her husband to convict
him of the murder of Mr. Dale. The
young lady certainly worked herself
into the graces of those in the From
home without a particle of suspicion.

The Line That Marks Where Day
Begins and Ends.
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.

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,
