We know that the earth rotates through space. Imagine that | at fixea points in this space, just bove the earth's surface, hour marks ave in some way suspended, and that the earth turns beneath them just as the hour hand of a clock turns within the circle of its hour marks. There will be 24 hour marks | for our ‘earth clock,” and a point en | the earth will turn once from any mark and back to it in 24 hours. (The hour hand of a clock makes two ¢ cults under its 12 marks in this same period.) Construct Earth Clocks. u placing our imaginary hour marks in space we do not need to exercise a great deal of imagination. | The four most important marks are alfeady fixed for us. The half of | the earth toward the sun is always lighted; the half away from the sun is always in shadow. The key mark | is the noon line, the line from the center of the sun to the center of the lighted half of the earth. The ‘midnight line’ is the exact center of the earth’s shudow cast by the sun, { or the line that would be made on the other side of the world by the noon line if it were extended right through the globe. The line that di- vides the lighted half from the shad- ed half of the earth in the East is the 6 p.m. line, and in the West the 8] a.mline, If one fills in five equally | spaced imaginary hour lines (15 de- grees apart) between these four {readymade lines the earth ock 18 | constructed. “When we grasp th | such an ‘earth clock’ w any given moment ever 24 hours of the day exists somewhere on the earth's surfac At just one | {nstant during each day these 24 hours belong to the same date; that is, when it is exactly noon at Greenwich, land. At that instant on Friday, cember 31, 1926, sa) o’clock Friday morning along the Atlantic coast of the United States; 4 on the Pacific coast; 2 in Alaska..and just | past midnight (the beginning E | day) in British Samoa. 1In N |lana 1t was just before midnight (the ; juam it was 10 | r vening; the people of Burma and Siam were at their Friday evening meals; while in central Fu- rope and the Near Bast it was early Friday afternoon. 5 “A most interesting situation exists {at the 180th longitude line in the midale of the Pacific Ocean. This i¢ known ax the international date line It is exactly half-way around the world from the longitude line thal passes through Greenwich: and at the instant under consideration (noon Greenwich), the date line is directly under the ‘midnight line.' It you were on & tiny island lying just a few feet west of the 180th degree of longitude last few minutes e 1158, 1159, 12, Friday night ously, the next minute on your island belonged to Saturd: A new day is-born, therefore, once every 24- hours, when the 180th de- gree of longitude (the date line) passer under the ‘midnight line. You, or | your little island, were carried, as the | barth turns, farther and farther intc | saturday. When you had turned 15 degrees past the midnight line it was for you 1 a.m. Saturday; 30 degrees 2 a.m., and so on. Behind you, Saturday was growing, between your meridian (180th) and the midnight line. Every bit of territory that passes under that line in space enters Saturday; and 80 the new day spreads over an addl- tional one-twenty-fourth of the earth each hour, ‘But as you swung deeper into Sat- urday, & companion on a second island half a city block east of you (just east of the date line) was turning into Friday at the same rate, and his hour was approximately the same as yours. Thus, when it was 1 a.m. Saturday on your island, it would have been 1 a.m. Friday on his. So Satur- day goes chasing Friday around the world like a dog with his tall in his teeth.

And as each old day is croked to death, so to speak, up springs a fresh new da like a soldier seizing the sword of a | fallen comrade. to carry on the efer nal relay race of the days. It is against the midnight line that December 31, 1926, was squeezed out of existence: and as it died, of course, the year 1926 came to an end. Then, as the 180th meridian receive | emerged from under the midnight line, | the first second of 1927 came into existence, between the date line on the earth and the midnight line in space. Thi took place when it is one second past noon in Greenwich, Friday, December 31, and when that day existed throughout the world, e cept for the niest conceivable sli of the ocean’s surface in mid-Pacific. "“When the new ar was born It was 7 a.m. December 31 in New York, Washington, Atlanta and other cities of the East; 6 a.m. in Chicago. St. Louis and all of the central time zone: 5 am. in Denver and the mountain zone, and 4 a.m. in the Pacific Coast States “To simplify matters the surface of the earti i considered in most coun- tries to be marked off into standard time zones one hour (or 15 degrees of longitude) wide. The time is taken to be the same thrdughout each of these zones, and to differ by one hour from the time in the next zone (later to the east, earlier to the west). The differ ence across the date line, however must be one day instead of one hour. Because of these zones and the liber- | ties that it has been necessary to take with their boundaries because of na- tional and State lines and railw: divisions, the new vear will begin at the wrong theoretical time at many places in the world “The Hawallan lslands, for example, the pistol by half an hour. Instead of using a regular standard time zoue the isiands have adopted a zone bLetween two of the Standard slices. In effect they have hung their midnight line seven and a half de- grees too tur east. Even so, Hawail is one of the last places to enter the new vear because it lies 80 close to the date line on its eastern side. The westernmost Aleutian Islands represent an extreme case in the op- posite direction. Geographically, the lie a short distance west of the date line and should be among the first bits of land 1o which the new year comes. But in practice the time zone of central Alaska is extended wegt- ward to include these islands. As a result their new year reaches them hours later than it should. ‘Chatham [sland, a part of New Zealand. is snatched into the new year almost 24 hours ahead of time, because the date line is bent east- ward to inciude it. But because New Zealand uses a half hour zone and Chatham takes this time, it loses thirty minutes of its ill.gotien gain— enough to let Fiji slip under the wire ahead of it. “Fiji's claim to heing the inhabited Jand of any importance to reach 1927 is legitimate in every way. It does not depend on a bend in the date line. The 180th meridian crosses directly through the island group. Astronomically as well as practically, it becomes exactly mid- night in K when it becomes noon in Greenwich: and Fiji's new day st with the ticking of the first second after noon in Greenwich. There is a cable station on one of the main Fiji Islands.

It is con- eivable that he might have taken ew Year dinner in Fiji, then have flown back into 1926 in time to wel- come 1927 with his family. ‘Passengers on Pacific liners that happened to ‘cross the line’ from east to west on December 31st, sailed prematurely into 1927, Those on ahips that crossed the 180th meridian going eastward on January 1, on the other hand, celebrated two New Year to be found in the United States. The central time zone is twice as wide as the eastern zone, although theoreti- cally they should be equal. The central zone is stretched far enough west to include the entire State of Texas. Because of this, residents in the westernmost tip of Texas receive their new year am hour ahead of small towns in western Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas, although the later are several hundred miles farther east. Similarly, the new year will start in Boise and other south- western Idaho towns an hour earlier than in western Utah, although Bolse 13 200 miles faf@er west.” - iammvsaial o first | il ] AMERICAN U.
