DAYS ARE BECOMING
PERCEPTIBLY LONGER
With the lengthening of the days a
misunderstanding seems to prevail
that daylight means sunshine On
(he contrary the number of hours of
- unshine is much shorter than the
h urs of daylight.
The table giving the aims.at ot
sunshine in Cordova at various
times of the year is as follows:
January 21 6 hours, 45 minutes
February I"' s hours. IS minute
March 1 a hours, 6 minutes
March 21 12 hours.
April la- 11 hours. 28 minutes
April 2a--15 hours, 42 minutes
May 11 — 17 hours, 42 minutee.
June 21 —21 hours. 51 minutes
The foregoing means tho amount of
sunlight each day. or tho time from
sunrise to sunset, and not the amount
of daylight.
For future reference it would lx*
well to out out the table end paste
it In some convenient place for re
ference.
