J Thursday, December tZ, we# the hort?st day in 1UJ47, with only ? koup. and 6g minute* that the Min is ibove the horizon. The sun rose that lay at 7:84 a. m, and set at |:82 p. m., fhether the sky it cloudy or clear, ihich last will have myteh to do with fte duration of duylTgHt, however. : The sun in ita course due to the inclination of the earth on its axis eaphed ita farthest south Thursday i?.?l began its northward movement >yain. Next June it will be the farth-lat north and nearest it ever gets to Ming directly overhead in this latitude. The farther south the sun is, the learer the southern horizon it is, the shorter is its curved path through the leavens?and the shorter its path, the i^a time it takes to .travel it, so from tunrise to sunset is the shortest duraion of time, when the sun is farthest lOUth. "Last June, and next June, when the tun i? farthest north, it cuts the horizon much farther north both mornng and evening, and its curved path s longer, requiring more time for the tun to pass from the eastern to the western horizon and producing the opgest days of the year, ftlra.
