Prof. Pickering, Director of Harvard
College Observatory, informs the Boston
Journal readers why 1900 has no 10Th of
February: 1.-The reason for the omission
of the 10Th of February in the year 1900,
making it eight years from day before
another 10Th of February occurs, can be
correctly and concsely stated in the words
of Prof. Charles A. Young when he says:
The true length of the tropical year is
365 days, hours, 4S minutes and As sec
onds. This leaves difference of II min
utes and IA seconds, by which the calen-
dar year of 365 IA days is the longer AS
a consequence the date of the equinox
come gradually earlier and earlier. Hence
the century years are not leap years unless
their date number is divisible by 400.
