of the month. The name leap year re-
fers to the fact that for year after
the insertion of the additional day each
date comes two days later in the week
than it came through the previous year.
instead of on the following day of the
week, as in ordinary years. According
to the Julian calendar, all years are
leap years which are Invisible by four.
The true length of the year. as determ-
ined by astronomers. IS 365 days, five
hours. forty-eight minutes. forty-six
records. The error of adding day
every fourth year. or making the year
exactly 365 days, six hours long. is
therefore eleven minutes, fourteen sec
onds each year. This aoumulates to
nearly three days each four centuries.
The modification of the calendar intro
duced by Gregory in the sixteenth CEN
tury. and which has been accepted by
Christian nations in western Europe
and America. corrects this error OF the
Julian calendar, by requiring that the
century years shall not be leap years
unless Invisible by 400 instead OF four,
The year 1000 was a leap year, but the
years 100 and 1900 were not. The 1900
VIII not be leap year.

While sinking was going on in the
Brickyard shaft at Mercur on Monday
The drill cut through the lime into a
soft. yellow formation, and in minute
a column OF water shot up way above
the miners head. The man then. tried
to put in a shot, /: Id with the giant in
the drill-hole, wedged in with drill,
he was preparing the fuse and cap
when the pressure became so great
that the whole shooting match came
out with a rush, and the men had to
evacuate the shaft for safety.
The shaft rapidly filed with water
until it rose to q. height of fifteen feet,
and with the most arduous pumping
day and night it could not be lowered
until yesterday noon. when the bottom
was about exposed to view.
This flow of water is a most promis-
ing indication, and its presence nearly
always predicates the near approach to
the ore body that underlies that whole
region.
The Hecla struck water just before
getting into the ore zone. and the same
can be said of the Golden Gate; and.
taking this as a. criterion to go by, the
strike of water in the BTickyard must
soon lead to the great ore bodies be-

LONGING.

The hills slope down to the valley, the
streams run down to the sea-
And my heart. my heart Oh, far oneI
sets and strains toward thee,
But only the feet of the mountain are
felt by the rim of the plain.
And the source and soul of the hurry1nS
stream reach not the calling main.
The dawn is sick for the daylight. the
morning yearns for the moon,
And the twilight signs for the evening
star and the rising of the moon.
But the dawn and the daylight never
were seen in the self-same skies.
And the cleaning dies of it's own desire
when the moon and the stars arise.
The springtime calls to the summer;
'Oh. mingle your life with mine;
And summer to autumn plainteth lowi
Must the harvest ne only thine
But the nightingale goes when the swal-
low comes, ere the leaf in the blos-
SONS fled,
And when autumn sits on her golden
sheave, then the reign Of the rose is
dead.
And hunger and thirst, and wall and
want are lost in the empty air.
And the heavenly spirit vainly pines for
the touch of the earthly far.
And the hills slope down to the valley,
the streams run down to the sea,
And my heart, my heart. Oh. far oneI
sets and strains toward thee.

ernI Points.
PEORIA, ILL.,. March 1S.-The fire
bell was changing almost necessarily
between midnight and O'Clock this
morning. Five alarms were turned in
and the entire department is still work
ing in the southern part of the city.
The first fire was in the Hutchinson
cooperage works, the largest plant OF
the kind in the city The fire started
near the engine rc'cim and had secured
considerable Roadway when discovered.
The rear part of the building was bad
ly damaged. The Waterman says he
was all through that part of the build
ing only short time before the fire
and everything was then safe and Sc
cure. No estimate of the less could be
given this morning, but it is covered
by insurance.
The engines had scarcely returned to
their quarters when two alarms called
them to the Manhattan distille,ry where
an immense haystack was in flames
and threatening destruction to the dis
tillery and the other immense stacks.
The hay is all baled and it was hard
fight the firenen had.
They had just got the better of this
fire when a few blocks away from
them, at the cooperage works of Mad
gan, Walsh &, Co., flames were seen to
burst, and two mere alarms came in
rapid succession. The fire here had
big start before discovered and the
forces had to be divided. The cooper
age works were practically destroyed.
Nothing is known as to the origin here,
but it is presumed to have been incen-
diary with the rest. No estimate of
the losses has yet been made. The po-
lice protection in the vicinity of the fire
has been increased and extra precau-
items have been taken to guard against
further fires.
AT 2:45 a. m. the flames from Madi-
gam Walsh & CO. plant communicated
to the Peoria White Lead works to the
north. This is a large three story
building and the fire is in the roof. The
firemen think they have it under com
troll however.

aBoUT LEAP YEAR.

Owen w. Rowland sends the following
answer to the query of c. Chaplin, in re-
gard to leap year:
The year 1896 is bissextile or leap
year and the month of February mas
twenty nine days. In the Roman cal
endar the days in the latter part OF
each month were designated by their
number in the interval preceding the
first day Called the calends) of the fol-
lowing month. . The day now known as
February % was the sixth day before
the calends of March (sexto- calendas
Martias) The Julian calendar, in which
the custom of adding a day to February
every fourth year was introduced, pro-
vided that the additional day should be
inserted, not at the md Of the month.
but six days earlier, forming a second
sixth day (bis seXto calendas Martias).
Hence across the word bissextile which
is still retained as the name of the year
in which the additional day is insert
ed, though now it is added to the end
