The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1904-02-12

Jan. Of the forty sixth year before
the birth of Christ. 1t may be OBJ
served in passing, for the benefit OF
those persons who have difficulty in
recalling the number of days in the
various months, that Caesar had
planned TO make the calendar as
simple as possible by decreeing that
every alternate month, beginning
with January should have thirty-one
days, and that the others should have
thirty, excepting February, which
was to have twenty nine in ordinary
years and thirty in leap years. The
present irregular arrangement was
adopted to crafty the vanity Of
Augustus. Under the Julian calen-
dar the month named for him,
August, had only thirty days. He
gave it an extra day, which he took
from February. The length of the
succeeding months was then allowed
to avoid the massing of three with
thirty.one days each.
Sosigenes, however, WAS not exactly
correct, for the length of the year is
really 365 days, 5 hours, 4S minutes
and As seconds, So the Julian calen-
dar itself slowly became involved in
discrepancies. By 1882 the spring
equinox had fallen back to March IL.
Pope Gregory XIII, therefore under
took a second reformation by sup
pressing ten days. Since it was
known that the error in the Julian
calendar amounted to three days in
400 years: the pope ordered the extra
dayOf February TO beomitted from all
centenary years excepting those that
are multiples OF 400. Thus, 1900 was
a leap year, but 100. 1900 and 1900
were not, although these numbers are
Invisible by four.
England adopted the Gregorian cal
endar in 1852, but it has not been

the czar's subjects still live under the
dispensation established by Julius
Caesar.
1t was determined long before the
Christian era that about 365 days con-
stituted q year. The shadow cast by
a tree at noon. as everyone knows,
grows longer during the summer and
autumn until it attains its maximum
length on Dec. 81. Then it shortens

proximate length Of the year. Later
it was discovered that the estimates
were too short by about quarter OF
day. and that, as a consequence,
the calendar was falling into con-
fusion. The loss OF day every four
years would mean the omission OF
nearly month in century.
When Julius Caesar rose to power
the autumn months were coming in
the summer. TO put an end to this
disorder, on the advice OF the
Egyptian astronomer, Sosigenes, he
decreed that every fourth year should
consist OF 366 days. Then, in order
to restore the spring equinox to
March %, its date under one of the
early kinds, he prolonged the current
year to AS days. This was called
