was very much encouraged from the reports

LEAP YEAR


A year is reckoped in our calendars as s65
days. That is, hours 4S minutes and 20
seconds less than a solar year, or that num-
Der less than the time 1t takes the
earth to complete a journey around the sun.
II some means were not taken to rectify
that discrepancy, the location Of the months
in our calendars would, in about 754 years,
be changed half year from their present
location In the seasons, and December
would be where June now is. re-
To prevent that confusion of the months
and seasons, once every four years a day
Is added to the month Of February But
that does not exactly correct the error. for
those fractions of day in four years
amount to only % hours Is minutes and 20
seconds, being A minutes 40 seconds less
than full day; so by adding a full day
every -FOUR years an error of A minutes 40
SECONDS Is created in the opposite direction
heiore, the calendar year was hours As
minutes and 30 seconds too small; but, by
aoolng full day every four years, it
makes 1t too large by Just "A minutes 40 sec
onds. If that error should not also be cor
rected, 1t would in 23,54s years throw the
months out Of place in the calendar lust
as much as the other error did in 754 wears.
10 prevent that difficulty, every thirtv-
second leap year, or 12sth solar year. the
z9tn OF February has to be omitted. and
sui tnere remains slight error. The quad
rennial variation of A minutes 40 seconds
would IN 12s years amount to % hours 40
minutes and 20 seconds, being 10 minutes 40
seconds less than full day; so, by emitting
a 1ull day once in 12S years, an error of 10
minutes 40 seconds still remains, which is
exactly seconds in one year.
II the earth continues to revolve on its
axis and around the sun in the same time
1t now does-which some astronomers pre-
dict 1t will not-that seconds annual va
ration will in 172SO years amount to one full
day, which day will then have to be dropped
from the calendar, which will make 1t ex-
actly agree with the solar time
