the chance which the British soldiers
had of being killed in South Africa
amounted to more than 21a times the
risk they would have incurred in bar
racks in England. Thus stated, the
mortality seems small. but what must
be borne in mind is that during short
periods. say few hours at time dur
ing the war, almost every man has
TO run risks many hundreds times as
great as those of ordinary life, and

1t has been discovered that it would
be possible to use the same calendars
every twenty years-when the dates
Of the months fall on the same days
of the week-thereby avoiding the ex-
pense of five almanacs for the present
century. But here is something even
better than that. Those persons who
might be able to get hold of calendars
for the twelfth century would find the
days and dates coincident with the
present century. Again, those with a
frugal mind who have preserved the
almanacs Of the nineteenth century
will avoid an outlay for calendars of
the century commencing Jan. l, 2201,
as the dates for the hundred years fol-
lowing will be like those of the last
century.
