NEW YORK, Feb. 10. Tho In
crease of the dally period of sunlight,
according to the latitude, beginning
with tho winter solstice, and certain
peculiarities resulting from the dif
ference between true sun time and
mean time recorded by our clocks,
are interesting In connection
certain peculiarities none the
curious about tho distribution
time at the Pole.
It has been seen how the inclina
tion of the earth's axis produces, ac
cording to tho season, variations in
the length of the day from the equa
tor to the pole. At this extreme geo
metrical point, marked by 90 degrees
of latitude, there should be theore
tlfcally a long day of six months, cor
responding to spring and summer,
during which the sun would never co
below the horizon, and a long night,
also of six months, corresponding to
autumn and winter, during which
tho sun would remain constantly hid
den below the horizon, and there
would be no other light than that
coming from the stars and the moon
and also, from the pale, intermittent
lustre of tlie aurora borealls.
But In reality the year Is not so
regularly divided in those Inhospi
table regions which crown with snow
and Ice tho extremity of the world's
axis. On account of atmospherlo
rofraction tho sun is" raised above
the horizon at the spring equinox and
at the autumnal equinox, and if one
takes into account the aurora and
tho twilight, which reach their great
est duration there, as well as the In
fluence of the slight lowering of the
horizon due to the sphericity of the
earth, it is evident that the Immense
polar day will be sensibly prolonged
beyond the theoretical six months. Tt
should last more than seven months,
and the total length -of the perma
nent night which follows it ought to
last a little less than live months.
Can Keep Pace With Earth.
That is not all. Human actions
arg.regulated by time. Years, dates,
days, hours, alterations of sunlight
and the darkness of night measure
our life. Well, at the polo none of
that exists, according to our usual
conception of time. One has all the
hours at the same time and not any
particular hour. Local time disap
pears. Identification of days and
. dates there Is very complicated. A
theoretical instance may give an
idea of this.
Lot us suppose an observer situ
ated at tho north pole, about tho
middle of the polar day, at tho pre
cise spot where all tho meridians
pome together. Provided with a
good chronometer, ho could, by com
paring the hour given by that instru
ment, with tho relative position of
the sun, find the meridian of Paris.
But If ho turns half way to the right
It is sufficient to pass from noon to C
o'clock in the evening.' On the other
hand a half turn to tho left gives
hira C o'clock In tho morning. Fin
ally, by turning completely around
he is put instantly opposite midnight.
Better still, ho could have at the
samo time ono foot at noon, the
other at midnight. For this pur
poso it would be sufficient for him to
placo each of his two feet at the
polar point, ono on tho first morldlan
corresponding to noon, tho other on
the 180th, which corresponds to mid
night. If he neglects noon to occupy
himsolf with midnight ho can by sim
ply mdvlng from ono foot to tho
other of each sldo of this 180th de
' greo of actual longitude, theoretical
ly ,as tho day changes its name and
date, pass nB many times as ho pleas
ed and in tho twinkling of an eye
from today to tomorrow, from now
to yesterday, from ono date to an
other, from Sunday to Monday, from
no mattor what day to tho preceding
or to tho following, from ono week to
another or from ono month to nn
othor, whether forwards or back
wards. All Hours tho Samo.
If ho goes away from tho pole to
a distance corresponding to a clrclo
of latltudo measuring twenty-four
kllomotres In clrcumforonco, and it
ho boglns to walk In a circular direc
tion toward tho west at a speed of

what change would ho notice during
his course? None whatovor. Al

It Pays to Smile.
Smile a little, smile a little.
As you go along;
Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wrong.
Care delights to seo you frowning,
Loves to hear you sigh;
Turn a smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will fly..
Smile a little, smile a little
All along tho road,
Every life must have its burden,
Every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness
With your grief to sup?
As you drink fate's biter tonic,
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrim
Whom you pass or meet.
Frowns are thorns and smiles arc
blossoms,
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder
By a sullen face.
Smile a little, smile a little,
Brighten up tho place.
Haven't you been thanking your
lucky stars this week that your homo
was on Coos Bay where the balmy
breezes have been whispering of
spring instead of back east where
blizzards have been raging and the
cold chills chasing each other up and
down the backs of tho inhabitants.

Smile upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
O'er his task, waits wealth

Ho who smiles achieves.

Smile a-little, smile a little,
Even through your tears.
