1900 Nor TO BE A LEAP YEAR.
The following explanation is Civ.
en- why the year 1900 will not be
counted among leap years. The
year is 1855 days, 5 hours and 40 min.
utes long; IL minutes are taken
every year to make the year 1861
days long, and every fourth year We
have an extra day. This was Jul
ius Caesars arrangement. Where
do these II minutes come from7
They come from the future, aud are
paid by emitting leap year every
100 years. But if leap year is omit.
ted regularly every huudredth year,
in the course of 400 years it is found
that the IL minutes taken each year
will not only have been paid back,
but that whole day will have been
given up. So Pope Gregory XIII,
who improved ON C9sar's calendar
in 1882, dacreed that every centurlal
year divisible by four should be IA
leap year after all. So we borrow
II minutes each year more than
paying our borrowings back by
emitting three leap years in three
centurial years, and square matters
by having leap year in the fourth
centurial year. Pope Gregory's ar
rsngement is so exact, and the Dor
rowing and paying back balance so
closely, that we borrow more than we
pay back to tie extent of only one
day in 1866 years.-From the Lon.
don Standard.
