Leap Year Law.


The following leap year law point, from
the Albany La,o Journal, is of consider
able importance to lawyers and business
men: AS leap year is coming, it ia

parts Of days, and as to the Goth Of Feb
ruary, it takes no notice ofthe whole day.
The 18th and Goth are computed as one
day. For example:' Suppose note IL

and 80 1t il in leap year, and not on tho
Sd. In Indiana the question has recently
como before the supreme court In respect
to service of process in 1876, the last leap
year. The law there requires ten days
previous service for the entry Of judg.
ment. In the case before the court the
judgment was premature if the 28th aid
2oth of February were to be computed as
one day. The court said: 1T must be
regarded a. settled In this State that the
28th and 18th days Of February in every

THE private residences OF Lockport,
New York, are heated satisfactorily and
economically by steam from central
place, where it is made on large scale,
and conveyed over the city through
pipes, as gas is now conveyed. Lock.
port is tho first city in the Union thus
heated. A large company has just been
formed IN New York for heating that
city in this way. There Is no doubt but
that this method of heating cities will
soon become quite common: It is said
to be much cheaper than coal or wood,
and does away with stoves and furnaces
and al their attendant dirt and trouble.
We can not see why steam will not then
be largely used for cooking purposes, az
well as motor for light work. We look
upon this new departure as very practi.
cal one and also very desirable.-Er.
