The following explanation is given
why the year 1900 will not be count
ed among leap years. The year is
365 days, 5 hours and 40 minutes
long; eleven minutes are taken
every year to make the year 3653
days long, and every fourth year we
have an extra day This was Julius
Caesars arrangement. Where do
these eleven minutes come from +?
They come from the future and are
paid by emitting leap year every 100
years. But if leap year is omitted
regularly every tooth year, in the
course of 400 years it is found that
the eleven minutes taken each year
will not only have been paid back,
but that whole day will have been
given up. So Pope Gregory Kill,
who improved on Caesars calendar
in 1882, decreed that every centuri-
al year divisible by four should be a
leap year after all. So we borrow
eleven minutes each year, more than
paying our borrowing back by omit
ting three leap years in three CEN
turlal years, and square matters by
having a leap year in the fourth cen
turlal year. Pope Gregory's arrange
ment IS SO exact, and the borrowing
and paying back balance so closely,
that we borrow more than we paw
back to the extent Of only one day in
$500 years,
