In Important Change in Time
From the Wayne County Ill press

From the Wayne County ILL.,, Press
The following letter discloses the
plan of Rev D. B. Turney's new cal.
endar, which will attract the attention
of the thoughtful everywhere:
WooDBURN, MAcoUP1N Co., Ill.
December 18th, 1870
Mr.. ID. w. BARKLEY-Mu Dear ,Sa1.
i thank you for your kind notice in
the Wayne County Press of nv new
calendar. 1t is certainly to be desired
that each day of the week should fall
upon particular and regular day of
the month on each successive year At
the same time, it would be very diff
cult to secure the adoption of any cal
ander which would alter the solar cycle
change the order of the months. or in,
terfere with the general speculations of
our present almanac men. I have been
al the pains to form calendar Chased
on what conceive to have been the old
ecclesiastical one of Moses) which does
not interrupt the present reckoning of
the solar cycle, and which does not
change the present arrangement Of the
months, and which is, therefore far
more likely to be adopted by 1872 than
cry other calendar that has been de-
vised. Can l succeed in the preparation
of a calendar by which to have each
particular day of the week fall upon q
stated day of the month on each snc-
cesslve year! Those whom I consult
say no, that others of more ability as
chronolog1sts have tried it and failed
"a, however, admit the practical utility
OF s'lch calendar, if # can be made
LII gives me great pleasure, my friend,
20 say to you, and through you to the
world IN general, that 1 have been sue
cessful IN my Efforts in this direction.
The calculations in this new calendar
regulate 30 days to each of the months
except juno and December. June.
however, 1T makes to consist of 80 DAYS.
and December, ordinarily, of the same
number. This, | admit, would give
but 1854 days to the year, unless it were
arranged to have an extra week at GER
tam stated intervals. But, as may be
remarked, it is arranged for this, to let
December ordinarily have 80 days, but
every sixth, eleventh, seventeenth, |
twenty second and twenty-eighth year
of the solar cycle, 80 days, and the diff |
fculty is adjusted The solar cycle is
said to be complete once in every
twenty-eight years. Under our present |
arrangement of time, then, we have
10, 227 days i'll a full solar cycle The (
adjustment of my new calendar gives .
the required 10,2 days for the solar
cycle, and yet keeps so arranged that
definite day of the week will annually |
recur upon particular day of the |
month. In the following table, which |
you recently published for me, if
adopted by 1872, I arrange for all the
dates herein mentioned to annually re-
cur on Monday, in the manner specified
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1871-01-14

And you will observe that the table
IS arranged to have Christmas occur
always on the Sabbath, New Years day
always on Monday, Valentines time
always on Tuesday, Washington's birth
day always on Wednesday, July 4th al
ways on Thursday, etc Any person
born after the adoption OF this new cal
endar will not only be able to keep the
very day of the month on which his
birth occurred, but also the very day of
the week. And in legal transactions,
witness can safely swear to
the particular day of the
week by knowing the day of the
month. A number of other advantages
which the adoption of this new calen-
dar would secure, might be mentioned;
but, as they will readily suggest them
selves to all business men, | forbear to
trouble You further at this time.
Very respectfully,
D. B. TURNEY.

the results OF these inspections until the consent Of
the Police Board had been first obtained.
To Captain Yule and his 0bging clerk, Mr.. George
W. Winant the public indebted for the following
carefully prepared list OF inspections and tests
SINCE THE DATE OF THE wHsrFIELD HORROR.
The report Is brought up to yesterday. It win bU
seen that about one hundred twenty-seven tests
have been made in less than month by Inspectors
Daniel d. Sutton, Joseph e. Conee, Thomas
Mclaughlin, Charles E. Borden and Micnael q. Cum
ningham, who, 1t is believed, have been most
thorough in their examinations. Out Of the number
inspected 1t will be observed that nineteen or
twenty boilers were found more or less defective,
but the columns OF remarks will show In what par
rcular. The table given below will bear careful
examination, and, 1t Is to be hoped, will make engt
neers more cautious in
THE CARE OF THESE UGLY FELLOWS,
beside which 30 many people slumber IN apparent
security. The report, when 1t Is remembered that
Captain Yule and his command have under super-
vision over 700 boilers shows that in the past three
weeks the police have not been slumberng, and
are thor oughy aroused to the Importance of careful
work. 1t will also be seen that nineteen OF tho
boilers are located in vaults under the sidewalk,
over which pedestrians are continually passing to
and fro in the pursuit Of their daily avocalOns In
this connection 1t should be stated that Captain
Yule makes 1t special point to prevent the use OF
boiler the moment it Is found defective until such
time as the repairs ordered by his inspectors are
completed, and even then the boiler must pass re-
inspection before 1t can be used.
