1900 NOT A LEAP YEAR.-Th
reason why 1900 will not be leap
year, although 1t is divisible by four,
is that, according to the Gregorian
system. on which our calender is
based, the closing year OF a century Ia
never leap year unless it is exactly
diyisible by 400. The next leap year
willbe 1904, the last having been 1896.
Even since 1000 the leap years at the
end of a century have been separated
by gap Of eight years, but the year
1000 will interrupt the series.

sAwseor ANCIENT ORIGIN.
We're In Use Centuries Before the
Christian Era.

Were In Use Centuries Before the
Christian Era.
Saws were used by the ancient Egyp-
tians. One that was discovered with
several other carpenters tools In a pri-
vate tomb at Thebes is now preserved
In the British Museum. The blade,
which appears to be of brass, is ten
and half inches long and one and
quarter Inches broad at the widest part.
The teeth are irregular, and appear to
have been formed by striking blunt
edged instrument against the edge OF
the plate, the bur. or rough shoulder,
thus produced not being removed. A
painting copied In Rosellini's work on
Egyptian antiquities represents man
using similar saw, the piece OF wood
which he is cutting being held between
two upright posts. In other represen-
tations the timber is bound with ropes
to single post. and in one, also copied
by Rosellini. the workman Is engaged
In tightening the rope, having lett the
saw sticking in the cut. In an engrav-
Ing given In the third volume of Will
kinson's Manners and Customs Of the
Ancient Egyptians" saw is repre-
scented OF much larger dimensions, Its
length being by comparison with the
man not much less than three or four
feet. 1t does not appear that the Egyp-
tians used saws worked by two men.
The invention Of saws was variously
attributed by, the Greeks to two or
three individuals. who are supposed
to have taken the idea from the jaw
bone Of snake or the backbone Of a
fish. There is very curious picture
among the remains discovered In the
ruins OF Herculaneum, representing the
interior OF a carpenters workshop,
with two genii cutting piece of wood
with frame saw. and on an altar pre-
served In the Capitoline Museum at
Rome there is a perfect representation
OF a bow-saw, exactly resembling, in
the form Of the frame and the twisted
cord for tightening it. those used by
modern carpenters. From these re-
mains It is evident that these forms of
the instruments were known to the
anclcnts.-LonGon Architect.
