The Leap Year Question. !,

To the Editor of The VIrginian:
was about to send you an answer
to the quetion asked by "School Girl
III your paper of the 18th instant, when
the Following alip which is cut from

1t answers the question SO muc,,
more clearly than could that Will
not undertake to add anything to IL.
II School Girl wishes further infor-
nation about the calendar she will find
a very interesting article In Chambers
Encyclopedia.
II. w.
The year 1000 will be q leap year.
The year Is 3G5 days, five hours and for
ty-nve minutes long; eleven minutes
are taken every year to make the
year 365M days long, and every fourth
year we have an extra day. This WINS
Julius Caesars arrangement The elev-
en- minutes come from the future and
are paid by emitting leap year every
lOo years. But IL leap year is omitted
regularly every hundrcdth year in
the course of 400 years It is found that
the eleven minutes taken each year
Nil not have been paid back, but that
&C whole day will have been taken up.
SO Pope Gregory MIL, who improved
Caesars calendar in 1882, decrccd that
every centurial year Invisible by four
hou!d be n leap year after all. So we
all borrow eleven minutes each year.
more than paying our borrowings
back by omiting three years In three
centurial years, and square matters by
having n leap year in the fourth centu-
rial year. Pope Gregory's arrange
ment is SO exact. and the borrowing
and paying back balances SO nicely
that we borrow more than we pay
back to the extent Of only one day in
3,SG6 years. Thus 1900 is not q leap year
since nineteen Is not Invisible by four;
but 1000 Will be n leap year. since TWEEN

) The workinsmcns, Associntion.

The Workingmen of the Portsmouth
Protective Association met last night
and transacted the usual routine busl-
ness. Mr.. Walter II. Pope offered a
set of resolutions, which were lost by
the adoption of M amendment offered
by MI JAW. Stroud. The resolutions
and amendment areas follows:
Resolved, first, That we, the mem
bers of the Workingmen's Protective

the condition and advance the interests
Of our fellow workingmen, are not UNI
mindful of the interests OF others, but
are ready and willing at all times to
contribute our moral support and to
render pecuniary aid TO any enterprise
of our city or State and the benefit of
It's citizens.
Resolved, second, That. the COM
mendable efforts that are now being
made by some OF our public spirited and
philanthropic citizens to establish in
our midst a hospital, where Gods poor
and destitute children when overtalken
by disease can find n comfortable shell
ter and receive medical attention and
careful nursing, commands our heart
fclt sympathy and earnest support of all
good citizens interested in the future
welfare and prosperity of our city.
Resolved, third, That 1t is with deep
and unfeigned regret we have learned
OF the irreparable loss sustained by our
State and country in the burning of the
stitution of learning founded by the
immortal Jefferson, which has given to
the world some of our most useful and
distinguished citizens, and around
which cluster so many glorious memo
ries of the past: that the grief and
sorrow felt by our people over their
great loss is shared by all the members
Of this association, and 1t is our sin
cere wish that the day is not far dis
tant when this time honored institution
will be restored to it's prestige, glory
and usefulness
Resolved, fourth, That we, the mem
bers of the Worl1ingmens Protective
Association of the city of Portsmouth,
believing 1t OF be our duty to render aid
and encouragement to every worthy
and noble cause, and knowing none
which commends itself more to our
favorable consideration than the cree
tion of n hospital. where the sick and
distressel will receive careful treat
ment, and none that appeals more di-
rectly to our sympathies than that
great institution of learning, which is
dear to the heart of every Virglnian. dc

be contributed TO the hospital fund
