The st Louis Republic calls attention
to,the prculisrities OF this February, with
some interesting information The month
of February in a leap year has some pecu
l~iarities OF which not many people are
aware. This year, fer example,, February
has five Saturdays. This has occurred just
once in every twenty eight years for the
last 124 years. February will have five
Saturdays again in 1908, twelve years5rom
now, because at the turn OF the century
there comes q break in the twenty eighth
year period, which is reduced to twelve
years. Twenty eight years later, ID 1000,
we will again have five Saturdays In the
month of February. This same rule holds
good for every day in the week, each re-
curing five times in the leap year month
of February every twenty-eigbt y sars With
the exception of Monday and Wednesday.
During the last 200 years the two days have
come five times in February at one inter-
val of twelve years, while the rest of the
days have been forty years apart once dur.
ing the same period Of 200 years.
