The first second ofiJannary 1. 11101. will occur in the midst of the Pacific ocean along a line conforming In gener- al to the meridian of 180 degrees east and west lonfitude from Grccidvich. There Is no land of consequence to sal- ute the new century: no human eye save perhaps that of some sailor will be there to welcome its entrance. The Friendly islanders will be the first people to live in the new century. The date line, as It may be called, lies in the Pacific just to the east of their group. it will be Tuesday to them. but all the rest of the world will be living in Monday and enjoying some'phase of the closing hours of the nineteenth century. At Melbourne the people will be just going to bed, for it will be about 10 o’clock there. At Manila the clocks will point to two hours earlier in the evening. while. at Calcutta thi- residents will be e loying their after- ‘noon dinner. und I London the house of commons clock will be striking the noon hour. Boston and New York will lie eating breakfast. while residents of Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul will he hardly conscious of the dawn. Sun Franciscoitcs will be sleeping the sleep of a Sunday night‘s rest. and half the. great Pacific will be wrapped In the darkness preceding dawn. The actual data line varies from the theoretical one in a number of cases. Starting at the north pole. It follows the meridian of lb‘b degrees to near 111 degrees north latitude. where ".0 urvos to the east 10 degrees. so as to pass through Behring strait. and includes all of Siberia in the Russian day. Then If inkcs a roversa curve to 170 degrees cast longitude to include the Aleutian islands in our American day. 111 about i. degrees south latitude. after crossing the equator. It curves once more to the east 10 degrees, so as to giro the Friendly Islanders the Australian day. It then regains the meridian of lull do- grecs lust smith of the Chathaip Is- lands and follows this line to the south pole. The meridian of l80 degrees cast and west of Greenwich traverses the Pa- cific ocean from north to south. 011 the extreme north It runs across Wran- gel handylll the Arctic ocean: for I'm miles it stretches across the continent of Asia. passing from Cape North From Asian the meridian crosses Boring 111-111 to the Aleutian Islands. then for over l.bli0 miles to the south there Is noth- Ing but open sea. At about 28 degrees north latitude will be found Madway Islands. and thus for a distance of bodily 30 degrees therein open ocean uninterrupted by any land Eight or green south of the equatoi the line 1111111 through the billion Islands. 10 do- grces farther south lies the Fill group. For 500 miles of ocean the line passes south without a sign of land until the Kormodec islands are crossed. then no 5land until the southern continent Is touched at Victoria Land, 80 degrees south of the equator. This is the strict theoretical position of the date ,llne along which the day begins. it would be the actual lino save for exceptions which man 111111 made: These have crept in In answer to the demands of business or the num- ncr of colonization.

The legend month that in the earliest period of the Christians celebrated the festival at Christmas on January 1. other observ- ing it on the 6th of. that most. win some of the eastern churches i kept about the time of the Jewish Pass- also the some evidence of Its having ‘ been observed on September 29. being the Faust of Tabornsclcs. in the year A. D. 325 when the Emperor Constan- tino legally established Chiistianity in the Roman empire. Christmas was ob. served at the beginning. of the new year. while in the eastern church ll’. was celebrated on January 6. Pope Julius eventually effected a compro- mise, and the 25th day of December was established. Those historicai‘ statements have been called In ques- tion by some. but John Bchysostom. the eloquent preacher at Constantinople. In the fourth century confirms them. it Is a curious circumstance that some difficulty has been found in ac- cepting the date of December 25 as the probable day on which Christ was born, because. the close of December being usually the height of the rainy season in J 11110011. I Is said that neith- er flocks nor shop erds could have been at night In the fields of Bethle- hem. 'l‘liis strange objection is con- sidered of such importance that it Is incorporated In almost every encyclo- pedia and dictionaiy which treats of Christmas. it is one of the curiosities of literature.
