Next Year not Leap Year.

In answer to correspondent as to why
next year is not leap year the New York
Sun explains as follows:
The year 1896 was leap year, and the
next one will be 1904, eight years later.
This is on account OF the ingenious device
for maintaining, as nearly as can be, con-
cordance between the civil or Gregorisn
calendar and the solar or astronomical cal
endar. Everybody knows that the time
required for the earth to make revolution
around the sun is the true solar year. 1t is
easy to see why men, in their ordinary
affairs, do not give the year its exact solar
time value, but employ the civil calendar
they have devised instead of the solar cal
endar. The length of the solar year, ex-
pressed precisely, is 500. 242216 days, or
little less than 365 IA days. 1t is obvi-
Gus that in the business affairs Of life it
would be very inconvenient to use a time
division called year containing SO many
days and fraction of day. For ord!-
nary purposes the year must be counted ss
so many days. The ordinary year is, there.
fore, counted as 365 days, which is nearly
a fourth OF day shorter than the true
year.
Of course this time difference between
the solar and the civil year must be &C
counted for, sooner or later, and, wheI
it is convenient so to do, the true and arti
fcal year must be brought into concor
dance as nearly as possible. The common
civil year is too short by .242216 of day
In four years this amounts to .96SS64 of {
day, and so both in the julian and Gregg
rian calendars the last of this period o
four years is made a leap year, or in othe
words day is added to it, making So
days in that year. But not quite ds
was required to bring the civil and sofa
, year into concordance. The mean civ
year, thus fixed, is little too long, and i
: the course of period OF 400 years the civ
calendar thus gains 3 1885 days. So ar
other balance is struck between the tru
and artificial calendars by the suppressio
t of the intercalary days in the years 100
:. 1900 and 1900, which otherwise would b
q leap years. The suppression of leap yes
9 IN 1900 leaves gap between the two ca
$ endars since the adoption OF the Gregoria
q calendar of only about one-ninth of a day
t which is the balance on account with whic
y to begin the next accumulation OF dlttel
J. ences for future adjustment. But the az
d dition of the ntercalary day every 70,
t years and the suppression OF that day
e the last year of every three out Of four cel
!. turtles balances the years so far that II
/ error amounts to only one day in 1873:
# years.
VI The year 1000 will end the cycle of TO
IS centuries and will be leap year. Th
?. opens the next cycle, and in the yea
n 210O, 2200 and 23O0 the intercalary da
, will be suppressed, while the year "a
y will be a leap year. 1t should be me
le toned that 1900 will be leap year, ait
N all, in those nations of eastern Europe a
c. Asia which still use the Julian calendar.
