rages is to make a change, and whei matters are rightly conducted tt. would better not listen to the wails o some of the politicians who wan places.- Elwood Daily Record. In answer to the question. “Hov can you tell when leap year come- " Current Oploion,” a weekly ptimphle published for the benefit of the scho.i teacher, says: | "With certain tare exceptions tin [years in the Christian calendar divis ible by four without a remainder an ! | leap years, and have 366 days insteai i of 365. Thus, 1920. 1924. 1925. etc. > are leap years. But the last year o , each century, although always divis ible by four without a remainder, is not a leap year unless it is divisiblt by 400 without a remainder. Thus the years 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years although divisible by 4. but the year 2000 will be. The purpose |of the rule and exceptions is to make | the calendar year agree as closely tn possible with the true astronomical | year, without including in any year la fraction of a day. This plan gives ]us always either 365 or 866 whole |days in every year, no fractions. If |the true astronomical year wore ox Jactly 365 ] 4 days, as Julius Caesar a|sumed it to be. keeping the calendar [free from accumulating errors would |lie a simple matter. Making one year |in every four a leap year would do it | precisely. The true year, however, is |not exactly 365 k. days but 11 minutes | and 14 seconds less. It is to correct | this error that the extra leap year | day, the 29th of February, is omitted three times in four centuries. By this system of exceptions the error in the calendar is reduced to so small a compass tii.it :t will ambunt to I one day in 5.00 n years " From the above explanation some will wonder if the extra eleven minutes and fourteen seconds given us every four years are the precious m-»-inents allowed the fair lady to do the proposing, so traditional with the coming of leap year Anyway, it's time enough?
