Show Distinguishing Time. Through the fundamental division of time, the day appears intuitive to most persons, it Is well to remember that In the arctic regions the marking of this division is by no means easy. During several successive months the sun is either always below or always above the horizon and the only method meth-od a very uncertain one of distinguishing distin-guishing between day and night is to observe the times of high and low tide. Division of time Into months comes from the motions of the moon. Malays, Polynesians and Australian aborigines reckon time, exclusively by months and days. |
