Leap Year.

Any year divisible by without re.
msinder, is leap year, which comes every
fourth year. Thus 1860 is leap year.
The solar, or true year, is 365 days, s
hours, 48 minutes and 43 7-lO seconds.
For convenience we drop these hours,
minutes, and seconds in our ordinary
reckoning, and call the civil year 365
days. Hence we lose nearly day, in
his reck oning, every fourth year-we &C.
lusl!y lose in 4 years four times hours,
rs minutes and 48 seconds. which is not
quite day. But for round numbers a
gam. we call it day, and therefore, add
a day 10 every fourth year, naming il the
29lh Of February. or course by thus sd-
ding whole day, we add little too
much. nearly IL minutes year. That ia
100 years would amount 10 say l,I20
minutes, and. Of rourse, If this decrepancy
also were not provided for. in the course
Of cenlurie, il would Whsle The calendar.
Therefore evrry hundred years leap
year is skipped lor three CONSECUTIVE
centuries; on HE fourth century il is re-
tanned because Tie balance is a little the
other way again. Thus for Inree cenlu-
ries We have the excess Of $3.50 minutes,
leaving decfePsnsy of 600 minutes.
This. then. is Parizlly corrected by con.
tinuing the leap year as usual on The fourth
cenlnfy, putting us within about $50 min
uies, or eight hours, Of being right at the
end of every fourth rentury--nesr enough
right for al! practical purposes.
