tOrical researches a mistake of fou6
years, which can easily be verified. as
the date of the death of IIerod is ac-
curately known. Christ was born In
the year Of Rome 40. not In T53, and
died at the age of 81. not 33, aud the
whole Christian era is four years too
young. Rut IL would certainly be- In
convenient TO change 1t, although this
mistake has been known for some cen
turtles. II Is already referred to in the
dissertations mentioned, whose Chris
tian era has been kept as 1t was pro-
posed 10y Dionysius the Little. 1t Is
sufficient II people are agreed. 1t Is
clearly matter Of convention.
But. whatever date be adopted for the
beginning Of the Christian era. there
was no year D. Therefore the first
year Is the year l. The tenth year Is
10. and the hundrcdth year of the first
century Is the year 100. Put in this
form. the problem does not leave a
shadow of doubt in the minds of the
reader. Nothing in the world could be
simpler. When the French revolution
created new calendar. ii acted in the
same way. 1t did not think of year
U. Ii called It's first year the year |.
What appears TO deceive certain
minds, probably superficial, at least as
far as chronology Is concerned, Is the
change in the first two figures of the
century-the figures 1899 TO 1900, 1899
60 .ta In, I,p
is n change from II TO Is and from
Is to 10. This Is true, but there is no
other difference than that which makes
the change from No. . to No 10 and
from No. 30 to No. lO0-that is to say.
to the completion Of Il decade or cen
tury. In the decimal system a decade
goes from l to 10, Il century from to
100.
There have also been variations In
the date of the beginning of the year,
which has been placed sometimes at
Jan. and sometimes at Dec. -, which
was more logical from the Christian
point Of view, for the Circumcision is
evidently merely an Incident. Some
times it has been placed at the conCep-
ton of Christ, otherwise the Annuncia-
ton, logically fixed by the church at
nine months from Dec. %; sometimes
at Easter, the festival Of the RcSurrcc-
tion and of spring. On the other hand,
the year was shortened by ten days in
1850 to bring the calendar into agree
ment with astronomy. but all this does
not prevent the last day of 1900 from
being the last OF the nineteenth cen
| tury.
1t may be seen by reading the papers
| that there are still diSScntcrs in Paris,
| In the provinces and abroad. These
| simply complain that the first year is
! called the year | instead of the year O,
| but it was thus that the calendar was
| drawn up. DionySius the Little did not
! put the figure | after. but during. the
| first year, and the first year was called
| the year /.
! 1t Is therefore on Dec. 81, 1000. nj
midnight precisely, that the century
will end and fall in its turn into an
abyss Of the past to make room for the
new century.

BASIS FOR REFORM.
Aims and Objects of the National
Municipal League.

The objects OF the National Munlci.
every reformer must commend. Other
organization formed in the Interest Of
better government can work In har-
mony with the National Municipal
league and gain influence without los
ing their own identity. At the annual
meeting recently held In Columbus, o.,
reports were presented showing the
league to be stronger in ability, intiu
ence and numbers than ever before.
The objects OF the league, as set out In
the constitution. are:
First.-To multiply the numbers, har-
monize the methods and combine the
forces OF all who realize that II Is only
by united action and organization that
good citizens can secure the adoption
of good laws and the selection Of men
OF trained ability and proved integrity
for all municipal positions or prevent
the success of Incompetent or corrupt
candidates for public office.
Second.-To promote the thorough
investigation and discussion Of the
conditions and details Of civic admins.
tration and of the methods for select
ing and appointing officials In Amerl-
can cities and Of laws and ordinances
relating to such subjects.
Third-ro provide for such meetings
and conferences and for the prepara-
tion and circulation Of such addresses
and other literature as ray seem likely
to advance the cause of good city gov
ernment.
The league is composed Of assocla-
tions formed In the cities Of the United
States having as an object the I'M
provement Of municipal government.
1t has no connection with state or na-
tional parties or issues and confines
itself strictly to municipal affairs. Any
association belonging to the league
may withdraw at any time.

SOCIAL MUSEUM PLANNED.
Rev. DIR. Josiah Strong at Head OF
the Movement.

The Rev. DR.. Josiah Strong, prcsi-
dent Of the League For Social Service,
Is organizing a permanent Museum Of
Social Economy in New York city,
similar to the Musee Socialc founded
in Paris by Comte de Chambrun in
1894.
Such museum, 1t Is said by its ad-
vocatcs, would help to solve great so
cial problems of our times by furnish
ing invaluable service in improving
the condition Of operatives, miners,
clerks and employees in general and
by facilitating city improvements.
One Of DR.. Strong's plans is for the
museum to lend data and photographs
to other cities of all Improvements
and advance In municipal work and in
social. industrial and educational in
stitutlons. says the New York World.
Much available material has already
been obtained.
