seconds shorter than the solar year
In four years this shortage amounts
to % hours Is minutes and 4 seconds
Then one day is added in FEBRUARY
and the year is called leap year But
in adding "a hours the deficiency Is
more than made up-nearly three
quarters of an hour-44 minutes SO
seconds too much has been added. In
100 years this surplus addition amounts
very closely to is hours.
To offset this increase day is
dropped at the end of each century Tor
three centuries. On dropping whole
day of "a hours to equalize a difference
of is hours IL is evident that six hours
too much has been dropped and hence
in the year coming at the end of the
fourth century a day is added.
This last addition brings the solar
and common year at the end or each
400 years within 26 seconds of an exact
coincidence, the common year over
tapping the solar by that much. This
slight discrepancy. ii is figured, will. in
1923 years. amount to 'one day and II
is proposed to make the year 1000. 5000
and so on common years.
The calendar of the Greeks-the one
in common use-began by making 1900
a leap year and the other century
years, 100, 1900 and 1900 common years.
This was the result of the rule maxi
where they were exactly Invisible by
400. 1t will be observed that Is the
mystic number in all these calculations.
We are indebted for our present sys-
tenn of the division of time to that
noted Roman warrior. Julius Caesar,
who reigned in 55 Is. c.
The system in use in his day corre-
sponded so imperfectly with the an
nual circuit of the sun that the months
were moving continually along the
year in such a manner that winter
months came at length in the summer
and the summer months in the winter.
Caesar remedied all this by adopting a
new system of months, which should
give 365 days to the year for three
years and 366 for the fourth; and SO
exact was the system which he thus
introduced that ii went on unchanged
for 16 centuries.
The months were then found to be IL
days out of the way. when a new cor
rection was introduced and 1t will now
go on for 5000 years before the error
will amount to single day. The new
correction was itroduced by Pope Greg
DRY XIII. Caesar employed a Greek
astronomer to arrange the system that
| he adopted. 1t was in honor of Caesar
| for this improvement, that one of the
months was named July (after Julius)
The name before was Quintilis.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANcIsco CALL.
90S Broadway. Nav 90


A most exciting struggle for the pos
session of two children took place in West
Oakland late last night. The mother was
beaten, the baby screamed, but eventually,
with the aid of the police and the agent
of the children's society. the little ones
were rescued and went away with their
mother.
Mrs. Mary Cabral of Ala EddyEstreet, San
Francisco, WAS separated from her hus-
band some time ago, as he failed to pro-
vide for his family. He was very anxious
not to part with the children, but the
court decided that the mother only was
The mother at first put them in q day
nursery, but later she consented to let
Mr.. Kane of the Youths Directory put
them in ST. Joseph's Asylum.
On Tuesday Mrs. Cabral called to see
the children, and was surprised to find
that the father had called and taken them
away Just ten minutes before her arrival.
After recovering her composure Mrs.
Cabral started on a search. She obtained
a clew that they were in San Leandro and
so she searched that town. Frank Kane
and Mrs. Prescott of the Oakland society
followed up every clew, and finally Con-
table Gallett gave his reasons why he
thought the children were in Oakland
The officers visited the Portuguese
quarter on Peralta street. They went into
a house and while the mother was talking
Mrs. Prescott kept her eyes wide open.
While talking the mother heard q cry
that she knew to be that of her three-year-
old child. She at once rushed into the
next room and a struggle followed. Mr..
Kane had returned to San Francisco and
Mrs. Prescott and Mrs. Cabral were alone.
Several people swarmed into the house,
and when Mrs. Prescott saw the mother
was being struck she blew police whistle.
stranger then left the house and Mrs.
Cabral rushed out with her child. No
information could be learned of the 16-
months-old baby, but man whispered to
Agent Prescott that he could tell her
where the baby was if she would give him
police protection.
He eventually said that the child could
be found at the home of Dick Sutherland
on Pacific street. The mother and her
child and Agent Prescott went to Suther-
lands house followed by a procession of
folks who had witnessed The row.
On arriving at the Sutherland house the
women there admitted that the baby was
inside. While talking Mrs. Cabral heard
her baby prattling and at once rushed
into the room and grabbed it.
Another struggle followed and Mrs.
Prescott aud the mother had to fight with
the crowd again. The whole family took
hand in the fracas and the baby was
quite badly bruised during the conflict.
The mother held on il with one hand and
fought her assailants with the other. Mrs.
Prescott also used Ter arms with good

1t Will Give the Hospital Over Two
Thousand Dollars.


OAKLAND, CAL, May 20.-The fnan-
cial result of the recent Fabiola fete was
made known tonight. The hospital will
receive S2l00, which is nearly as much as
was realized last year when the meteoro-
logical conditions were more favorable and
society took much greater interest in it
than that was shown on May day.
The total receipts OF the fete from gate
money, inscriptions from street railroads,
sale of concessions and the proceeds of the
souvenir issued by the ladies amounted
to $500. The expenses of the grand stand
are greatly reduced bv the sale of the lum-
Der of which it was built.
The ladies' souvenir Melted $500. They
worked hard among the merchants and
their efforts as advertising solicitors were
we'll repaid.
President Davis is very elated over the
outcome. cat 10 O'Clock on the morning
