WHEN LEAP YEAR sKIPs.

rh,. Var the 0irls May Propose, Dus
Not in 1900.
A. the nineteenth century draws to-
ward q close. perhaps 1t may interest
your readers to know that the year
iaOO. which ends this remarkable CEN
turv. will itself be q remarkable year.
Thoee who live until that time VIII
witnesa a peculiar chronological even'.
which has not occurred since 1soV' anu
will not occur again until 210O. reier
to the skip of leap year. which VIII taAs
place at that time.
The year 1895 viii be . leap year, -
everybody knows. but 1t may be tnat
all do not know that 1900 will not Do
one.
With the exception Of Jefferson, all
our Presidents have been elected upon
4 lean year, but the Presidential can
didates Of 1900 will have one less day
to impress their claims upon the people.
The true solar year, or length OF time
It takes the earth to make q revolution
around the sun, is 365 days, i've hours
rorty-eight minutes and fOrty-six Sec
onds. but we assume the fraction to be
six hours when we add an extra day
to every fourth year. Thus we are
counting forty-four minutes hfty-si1
seconds too much at every leap year.
In 100 years this amounts to eighteen
hours forty-three minutes and twenty
seconds, or over three-fourths OF a day.
BY calling each centennial year COM
mon year, too much would be dropped
by five hours sixteen minutes and forty
seconds, or nearly a quarter OF day;
therefore, each fourth centennial year
remains q leap year, while the extra
day il dropped from the other three.
which preserves the balance nicely.
Thus the years 100, 1900 and 1900
contain each 365 days, but the year 1000
will contain 1856 days, as other leap
years do. To determine whether any
given centennial year is a leap year
or not, divide it by 400. 1t Is not a
leap year If a remainder occurs.
This Is according to the Gregorian
calendar, q correction Of the Julian
calendar, which latter provided for the
leap years, but not for this skip Of
leap year. Nearly all Christian ma
tions except Russia and Greece now
use the Gregorian calendar. and there
is a difference Of about twelve days
between our time and that Of the
above countries. At the time the Greg
orian calendar was adopted in England,
1852, an error of eleven days had to
be corrected. These days were dropped,
which accounts for our celebration Of
Washlngton's birthday upon Feb. %.
although he was born on the 11th by
the old style of reckoning.
By the GregOrian calendar an error
Is made of only one day in 5000 years.
1t has been proposed to remedy this by
allowing the year 1900 and its multi
Piles. 10000, etc, to remain common
years This, however. Is too far In
the dim future to call for any immedi-
ate legislation or concern.-Indianap
