THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

AS there has been considerable
discussion throughout the universe
regarding the beginning of the
Twentieth century which has even
penetrated as far as Ely, we give
the following bit of history which
will prove highly interesting as
the subject is Of considerable inn
portance. There seems to be q
fad of argument over the question
and the number OF people it is
agitating is reminder of the fl
nancial discussion OF the last cam
paign. There are two opinions, of
course, as to the answer to the
subject, but the most generally
accepted theory and probably the
correct one, is that the twentieth
century begins four years from
Jan. 1, or Jan. 1, 1901. The rea-
sons for this belief are logical.
According to the present meth
cd of reckoning, the Christian
ora began with Christ. Naturally,
tic first year Of the first century
began on Jan. l of the year l,
leaving out all changes in the cal
'endar. The second year began
Jan. l Of the year 9, and SO on
until the one hundreth year began
Jan. 1 of the year 100. The end
of that year also ended the first
century. The second century be-
Gan the next day, which WAS Jan.
j, 4. d. 10l. Continuing that
process through the centuries it
s found that the nineteenth cen
tury began Jan. /, 1901, and the
I twentieth century will begin 100
. .,rsassa.,.:s later, Jan. l, 1901.

LEAP YEAR.

Why the year 1900 will not be
"a leap year will prove of interest
,as the question has been asked
many times, the answer to which
is bound up in the history of the
calendar.
For twenty-five centuries our
months have had nearly their
present order and many of their
present names. The year former
ly began with March, but about
700 B. c., King Numa placed Jan
uary and February before March.
The reason for this was said to be
that Numa, who was a peaceful
monarch, wanted the year not to
begin with the month of Mars,
the war god, but of Janus, who
was a more peaceful diety. The
old months were lunar months,
and were intended always to begin
with the new moon. This caused
>irregularity, however, as an odd
month had to be interpolated once
in a while to exc out the year in
a slipshod manner. So in the cen
fury before Christ. Sosignio,
julius Caesars astronomer, re-
formed the year to make it con-
sist of 1861 days as now, and
the fraction made an odd day ev-
cry four years, which was the be-
ginning of leap year. The new
calendar was named after Caesar,
and the midsummer month was
changed from SuirtiHs to July in
his honor.
The months had been given
thirty and thirty-one days,
alternating regularly with twenty
nine days in February in the off
year and thirty days in leap year.
Caesars successor, Caesar August
US, wanted to have month named
after him, so he changed the month
Sextillis to Augustus Or August.
But that month had only thirty
days while Caesars had thirty-one.
That would not do, SO out of the
vanity of his soul the late August
us swiped day from poor Feb
ruary and put it in Augustus.
This destroyed the alienation, so
that when we desire to find out
how many days there are in q
month, we have to say thirty
days hath September, etc." the
necessity for which piece of poetry
we owe to Caesar Augustus.
But even this arrangement was
not perfect. In the second cen
fury B. c., Hipparchus, the
Greek astronomer, had shown that
the year was several seconds less
than 1861 days. These few sec
,onds so distorted the calendar that
in the sixth century it was ten
days cut, and Pope Gregory XIII
had to reform it again, making the
Gregorian calendar. His reform
consisted simply in emitting three
times in four centuries the leap
veal. The years 100, 1900 and
1909 were to be ordinary years
instead of leap years, and this
made up for the lost seconds. That
is why there is no leap year until
1904. Still the calendar year is a
few seconds too long, but as this
will not amount to a day until 5000
A. D., the present generation need
not worry about it.
