and 10 the sixteenth century it had
refrigerated on the 1lth of March.
In the year 1852 Pope Gregory III
sought by the reformation of the cal-
Ell lar to correct this error. BY sup
pressing 10 days of the calendar Greg
DRY restored the equinox to the 2lst
of March, the day on which it fell at
the time of the Council of Nice in 325.
The Gregorian rule may be expressed
as follows:

years. which are only leap years when

Two final Zeros. Thus, 1900 was a leap
year. 100 and 1900 were common

only one day in 1925 years.
The new calendar was received and
adopted by all the Roman Catholic
countries, but the Protestant count

Denmark adhered to the Julian year

Lion was opposed until 1875. when it
