January I, 1901, Will Dawn 2 First en the Friendly Islands. The first second of Jan. 1, 1901, wid occur in the midst of the Pacific ocean alonn a lino conforming in general to tho meridian of 180 degrees east and west longtitude from Green iwich. There is no land of conJ sequence to salute the new cenitury; no human eye save perI haps that of some sailer will be there to welcome its entrance. The Friendly islanders will be the first people to live in the new century. Tho 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 tho j world will be living in Monday j and enjoying some phase of the closing hours of the nineteenth century. At Melbourne tho ! people will be just going to bed, i for it will bo about 10 o'clock there.. At Manila the clocks will point to two hours earlier in tho evening, while at Caleutcutta the, residents will ho on joying their afternoon dinner, I ft M < 1 1 n T An < he 1* I Ill li'MlUWU 11 Ul commons clock will bo striking ! the noon hour. Boston and Now York will be eating breakfast, while residents of Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul will be hardly conscious of the dawn. San Franciscoities will be sleeping the sleep of a Sunday j night's rest, and half the great I Pacific will bo wrapped in the darkness preceding dawn. The actual date line varies I from the theoretical one in a ; number of cases. Starting at I the north polo, it follows the * i meridian of 180 degrees to near . o ; 70 degrees north latitude, | w where it curves to tho east 10 h jdegrees, 60 as to pass through b Bering strait, and includes all C( of Sibeiia in the Russian day. h Then it takes a reverse curve to * ! 170 degrees east longitude to include the Aleutian islands in p our American day. At about v 15 degrees south latitude after 1' crossing the equator, it curves c once more to tho east 10 degrees 1 so as to give the Friendly island- tl ers the Australian day. It then n reruns the meridian of 186 degrees just south of the Chatham ^ islands and follows this line to ? i the south polo. h , b lhe meridian of 180 degress ^ fast and west of Greenwich traversee the Pacific ocean from 'north t(? south. On the extreme . north it runs across Wrsngel . Land, in the Arctic ocean; for J* 170 miles it stretches across the continent of Asia, passing from Capo North to Cape Thinga, east- f jern Siberia. From Asia the meridian crosses Hehring sea to the j Aleutian islands. then for over i 1 .fiOO miles to the south there is h j nothing hut open sea. At about " i lis depress north lattitude will be ^ foun 1 Midway islands, and then ? j for a distance of nearly ?S0 do j green there it open ocean unin- tl terrupfed he any land.
