As is evidenced by the continually lengthening days, is making its way
northward. On the first it rises at 7:10 and sets at 5:18; on the 15th,
rises at 6:54 and sets at 5:34; and on the 29th, rises at 6:35 and sets
at 5:51, giving from the 1st to the 29th of the month an increase of one
hour and eight minutes. The sun is “slow” during the entire month; that
is, it does not reach the meridian until after noon; for example, on the
1st, when the sun is on the meridian, a good time-piece says it is about
fourteen minutes after noon. On the 1st, day breaks at 5:32, and evening
twilight ends at 6:56.
