The Chinese Calendar.

Many perplexing problems were pre-
scented to Americans in the messages
from Minister Conger, recently forward
ed by the Chinese officials TO the ad-
ministration in Washington. but norP is
a greater Chinese puzzle TO the average
citizen than the problem of determining
time according to the Celestial system.
The Chinese have no use for the gem
orally accepted calendar. This resulted
In the to us odd expression which ap-
pears in the message sent by the Tsung
Ii Yamen to WI Ting Fang. the Chinese
minister in Washington. This mes a ge

day Of this moon" Experts in the use
Of the Chinese calendar readily under

day of this moon" but they could be-

The Chinese month is the lunar month,
consisting Of twenty-nine or thirty days
a year may have twelve months and
consist Of 354 or 255 days, or il may
have thirteen months and consist o. q Sc
or 3S4 days. To bring the calendar year
into accord with the solar1 year. the
Chinese provide for an extra nInth every
second or third year This they call the
second third month" or the second
sixth month" as the case may be. With
them an hour consists Of 30 m nutes
They have no weeks and are content TO
divide the months into thirds. Thus
where the more modern nations find
weeks very convenient in the division OF
time. the Celestials are satisfied II they
can keep within a third Of a month Of
the actual time Of any given event
