Twenty-Four-Hour Days. -
.Should wo adopt tho 24-hour tiny,
there would still remain a curious dls
crepancy between tho computation of
land, sea and sky. Astronomers begin
the day at noon; so do sailors, but
theirs Is not tho same day. for while
the navigator begins January 1 at
noon on December 31, the star gazer
sturts his new year at noon on Now
Year's day. The commercial 24-hour
day differs from both these, starting
from zero at midnight, so that tho
countries which have adopted tho now
reckoning will begin tho now year as
wo now begin It, from midnight on
