Not A LEAP YEAR.

IVA a 1/EAP i kAR
There is q popular impression,
which has led to many mistakes, tha,
1900 Is a leap year. Turner'S Al.
mansc corrects this mistake and
says:
When the change was made from
"old style" 10 new STYLE" by drop
ping eleven days out of the year, j,
was known that the exac, length OF
the year was not 365 l 4 days, bo,
1865 days, 5 hours, ~ minutes aud sc
seconds, and this difference OF eleven
minutes was sought to be equalized
by decididg that the years ending
the centuries should not be lea,
years excepting when they were d.,
visible by four hundred, as other
leap years are thus divisib'e by tour.
Thcs 1900 is not q leap year, but the
years 1000 and 24O0 will be.
