Editor of The Tribune: Sir: Under the above heading in a re cent issue of the Sunday Free Press, the astronomer of that paper favored the com munity with the following information: "The equinox is the time when the sun crosses tne equator, and when the days and nights are of equal length. There are two equinoxes in cue course of the year, the first occurring when the snn enters the fir .it point of Aries, about March 31, and is called the vernal equinox; the sec ond occurs when the sun euters the first point of Silva, about Sept. 23, and is called the autumnal equinox. The equality as to the length of days and nights is the same In all parts of the globe." It is a surprise to me that any one tak ing upon himself the responsibility of im parting astronomical knowledge to the people should fall into the old rut, and quoting the old stereotyped error, "that day and nigbt are equal in length in all parts of the globe." Nothing could be more fnrtber from the truth than the above statement, for there is not a point of latitude on the face of the earth where day and night are actually of equal length. It 19 trne that they are equal on the equator, and when we have said that we have said all there is to be said on the equality of day and night. North and south of the equator day and night vary in length. True, the difference is not much for many degrees eacn side of the equator, but when we reacb;either pole we fiud that the night has entirely vanished and day is twenty four hours long. Does that seem much like equality in day and night in all parts of the globe? We think not. On the dates mentioned, or the two equinoxes, the sun throws its rays equally on botu p oles, and from this equality some pcoplo have tumbled into the conclusion that day and night are equal the globe over. On the vernal equinox, 81st of March, the snn is rising for the north pole and is setting for the south pole, and while doing this it it visible to both poles as a fiery steed making a complete circle along their respective horizons. On the autumnal equinox the grand spectacle is repeated, with this difference, that the sun is then rising for the south pole and setting for the north pole. On both equinoxes several equalities occnr that do not at any other time of the year. First, day and nigbt are equal on the equator, and there only. Second, the earth is divided into two equal parts, hence the third equality, the sun throws its rays equally on both poles. Fourth, day and nignt at any given point north latitude are the same length as at the same point south latitude. For in stance, if the day is fifteen hours long and the night nine hours at seventy-five de grees north latitude, they are respectively the same length at seventy-five degrees south latitude. The very fact that if the cause of day and night being equal on the equator, de mands that the day should be at each pole twenty-four hours long, and the night nothing. That fact is this; the rays of the snn striking the earth at right angles to its axiis it follows that from any given point on the equator the riBiug and setting of the inn is just ninety degrees distant. The earth is thns divided luto two equal parts; 180 degrees of the sun, and 180 de grees oi no sun, consequently day and night are equal on the equator; but In the rase of either pole this fact gives a very different result. If a man on the equator can see the snn traversing 180 degrees, or half the circle: or, in other words, see the sun ninety degrees away; it Is not too .much to expect that a man standing on either pole conld dp the same thing, and inasmuch as the sun at any point on the equator is only ninety degrees from the pole, it follows that a man standing there could see the sun traversing the entire cir cle, or SCO degrees. While from the nature of things day and night are equal on the equator at either pole and from the very same cause there eould be no greater dif ference between tbeiu; i. e., the night is completely annihilated, and day reigns supreme. - XiiBN P.

' SUBJECT FULLY DISCUSSED The Present Huckster System Be lieved to Be a Menace to Health and Not' in Keeping with the Pro gression of the City A Modern Market Centrally Located Would Benefit All Classes, Relieve Con gested Streets and Possess Many Valuable Features. In view of the expressed sentimeut of citizens generally for a public and modern market in keeping with the growth and progression of the city, a Tribune reporter yesterday aorubt au interview with John E. Roche on the subject. Mr. Roche is always fully alive to movements that shall redound to the Leuefit of the city, nud bis views aro Interesting and instructive, lie bns given the matter research anil investi gation, ia a member of the special market place committee of select coun cil, which will ut the proper time pre sent in council uu ordinance covering the m ittcr. When asked to define (he present position of the faruiir or hucksten, Mr. Hocheiaid: "A study of existing conditions is necessary to hu intelligent considera tion of the question. Today the fnriner enters onr eity with bis load of pro duce and hucksters it from home to home. That portion of the city which they know by experience to be the best for prices and sulee is first visited and the result is that here there is a glut, iu other parts a famine. I speak more particularly of the articles sold daring the summer and generally prepared for dinner, but it is tqnally true of al most everything they sell and at all times of the year. In October and November there will be fnuud at poiuls where farmers enter the city men and women seated on the ourb stone for hours waiting for a load of aabbage, potato, turnips, boef, pork, eta. , ami tblu is continued day after day until their wants are supplied." DANGER OF FltliSENT SYSTEM. "Do you believe that goods huck stered in the poorer sections of the city lire fresh or inspected?" asked the reporter. "Veal, runt ton, beef, pnrk, poultry and other similar products of the farm are carted about and offered for sale, and it is not known that they Are fit for food. It is impossible for tbe food inspector to examine every load. In the snmmer season fifty inspectors eould not do it. He will tell you that 'bob' veal, 'bull' beef, undrawn poul try 'fair outside but foul within' and much other unwholesome stuff is of fered for sale almost every day. 'Light' weights and 'short' measures are not uncommon. Any retail grocer in tho city will tell you that it pays to weigh and measure when buying from fartn ers. After stating that bnyers and sellers would be benefitted by a market, Mr. Roche eoatinu'id: ''It is scarcely necessary to spenk of the congested condition of Lower Lick awanna avenue, or the odorous oorner Of Lackawanna and Penn. These places speak for themselves. If we have a market place tbe farmer aud the buyer will bavo a place to meet and any per son wanting fur in products can find all there is for sale in the city by vis iting tbe market. If any articles not fit for food are brought iu tho food in spector can ascertain that fact without difficulty and prevent their sale. If weights are light and inensures short the bnyer will be protected by the market clerk. "Lower Lickawanna aventij will be greatly relieved, the corner of L tckn wanna, and Penn avenoes and other points will be cleaner, and wholesome food, full weights and measures, cleaner streets, the removal of foul odors, less garbage, improved sanitary conditions, better health, more business, better business, and greater city revenues will follow as a matter of courae." When asked to define the nec-ssary legal steps for securing a murket and the status of tbe matter in select council's special oommittee, Mr. Roche said: "To frame an ordinance to meet our requirements is a very difficult matter. I have given the subject much thought, gathered together all the data that I could find, and am not yet satis fied with my work. I purpose calling a meeting of tbe committee soon, and will at the same time invite the pres ence of persons interested for the pur pose of getting any ideas they miy bave to olfer, i uope it will be woll at tended, and that all who attend will give their views upon the subject. THE MARKET PICTUltED. "The ordinance provides that tho place shall be central, equipped with such building, stalls, stands aud fixtures as are necessary ; that a license fee shall be charged; that stalls, stands and spaces may be rented by our own citizens as well as fannejs; that arti cles of food shall be inspected before being exposed for sale; that it shall be a people's market until lOo'clook, from 10 to 12 the merchants may buy, and if anything U loft over it may be huck stered throughout the city. Penalties are imposed for violating its provisions, tbe oflioe of market clerk is created, his duties defined, salary fixed, dates ot settlement with eity treasurer for re oeipts named, etc. "I lived nt IJnrrisbnrg, a morkat town, in 1883. and know that house keepers went to market as early as 5 o'clock a m. Merchants at the same time opened their stores and the buy ing for the day'was done at this early hour, I have a neighbor, a former resident of Buffalo, where markets are numerous and the word piotures alio draws of golden butter, fresh eggs, big pumpkins, squash, apples, plums, grapes, flowers and all the other products of the farm and garden in the market at 5 o'clock in the morning is very pleasing, and she pines now for the delights ot marketing at this early hour. I think the advan tages of a clean, well kept market are so great as orugored with the few dis advantages that will follow, that it will soon be a popular and profitable resort for tbe people of tbe city." The market place committee will meet this jsvsning in select coun cil chambers, and an invitation is ex tended to all citizens interested to be present. SCRANT0N AGAIN HONORED.
