Where In the Wi! World Does It
ActauHr Begin?
The succession of day and m'ght
depends on the rotation of the earth
on its axis, and since the earth is
of a globular shape, it is evident
that the whole of its surface cau
not be turned toward th3 sun at
one and the same moment, in
other words, that it cannot be noon
all over the earth at once. A little
thought will show that whenever
it is noon at any one plsce it is
midnight on the opposite side of
the earth, and at the different
places between all the times of d-iy
are at one and the same moment to
be found. Take a particular ex
ample to make this clearer. When
it is noon at London the countries
exactly on the opposite side of the
earth say New Zealand and its
neighborhood are turned directly
away frern the sun, and therefore
have midnight. Paris, being a little
further east than Loudon, will have
been bought directly under the sua
a little earlier that is to say. at
London noon Paris noon has been
gone a few minutes. Go to Egypt
atd Constantinople, further east,
their noon has been gone an hour
or two. Further on, again, India
is approaching her eventide, and
China and Japan have already sunk
into darkness. Turn your face
west, however, across the Atlantic;
you will find our American cousins
have not yet reached their midday ;
in fact, are thinking in New York
abont breakfast, and out West in
California are hardly jet getting
up. '; . A
Still to the west we come around
again to New Zealand, where tbe
day -which was only just dawn
ing in Calafornia which was high
noon at London and afternoon in !
India this same day, say the lstj
af July, is on the eve of departing
altogether to give place to the new
one, the 2d of July. It is clear,
then, that while the first Is still
young ia America, and long before
it is over even in England, the 2d
will be well started in New Zea
land and countries in that longi
tude, and will come round the
world from tast to west as ail its
predecessors liav" done.
The question then arises. Where
did this day, the 2d of July first
begin? It was not in America, for
we saw the folks there just' about
to rise on the 1st. Therefore it
must be either in New Zealand or
some place between there and
America. The fact is that there is
no defined place where the'dav
cap be said to appear first ot all.
Civiiizatioa originally spread from
east to west across the old World,
and then across the new, carrying
its calender with it. The next day
came from the east and traveled
across to the west, and no one ask
ed whence it originally came or
where it ultimately, died. Thua
the fiV.ifrnon usage, treated the ttav
as first appearing in the Old World
and then proceeding to the new,
left no place for the new day's
birth except the wide Pacific ocean
and when tariff began to cross the
ocean, and the question was forced
upon men's mind;, a sort of under
standing was arrived at that the
day should be deemed to begin
there.

A Number of I'coplc' Seriously In
jurrd at Pendleton.
Pendleton, Jan. 25 For the
last two days the weather has been
raiid, and last night a Chinook
swept over the jountry. The snow
disappeared as it by magic. The
rising river attracted a crowd of a
hundred or more to the river baD ka
this morning to watch the floating
ice. About noon fully two hun
dred were on the bridge and the
banks of the rive io the immediate
vicinity. One man was engaged
in chopping ice just above the
bridge. Just at tins time a band
of cattle appeared upon the north
side of the river aud were started
across. When about fifty head
were on the structure a cracking
noise was heard, and the cattle
were frgbtened. The people be
gan scattering and all managed to
get off the structure except about
ten. The bridge gave away under
the great weight, and went crasu
mg down to the ice below, a dis
tance of twelve feet. To eye-wit-nessess
it seemed as if the ten per
sons were doouud, but fortunately
all escaped with thoir lives and
without fatal injuries.
The following are the injured

A MAIL CARKIEU'S PERIL.
Lost in a Snow Slorin lie Xarcowly
Escapes Freezing tu Iteulli.
Boise City Statesman.
Among the narrowest escapes
from death by freezing during the
recent storm was that of Oscar
Ryan, the mail carrier between
Shoshone and Coose creek, who
was caught out on the desert Sat
urday night. He left the Falls at
at 11 o'clock Saturday morniDg,
little knowing the extent of the
storm of the day before, which had
drifted the spow until not a trace
of the road was to be seen.
Night overtook him about ten
miles from town, with a wornout
horse, aud one unaccustomed to
tiie road, and the weather gradually
dropping below zero. The "dip
per" was his only guide and fully
realizing his situation, he pressed
n, wading thiough drifts and lead
ing his horse ver the worst places,
he made as straight a line as possi
ble for town, arriving here at 12
o'clock midnight.
At that time the thermometer
indicated 38 degrees below zero,
and on examination Ryan found
that both feet were severely frozen
and the right side of his face fiost
ed. With prompt application of
snow, ice water and other restora
tives the frost was drawn out of
his face and right foot and the feft
foot saved, although the toes of the
latter are badly swollen and will
make him limp for some time.
The Ounce ol Prevention.
The satisfaction of feeling safe from
catching any disease from drinking
water, from impure air, from a sick
person, from contact with foul cloth
ing, infection or contagion from any
source, is complete and all anxiety
allayed by the use of Darbys Prophy
lactic riuid. A bottle will give more
safety, comfort and confidence than
all the doctoring in the world.
