WHY is FEBRUARY?

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
How did the month of twenty nine
days come to be and why vas Febra-
airy made the shortest month of tie
year? READER.
Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory are
jointly responsible for this mixed-1p
affair. Caesar is responsible for the
first leap year, which was brought
about by introducing his reformed r o
mar calendar, accepting 1855 days and
six hours to the year. To make up lie
quarter of a day necessary to complete
the true year he ordered that at the
end of every -four years a single day
should be added. But this was c9n-
sidered defective, and in 1882 there was
a difference of ten days, resulting FROM
the accumulated odd moments, and
then it was that Pope Gregory estab-
lished the present calendar. Under the
new rule ten days were omitted and IT
was ordered that every year whose
number is Invisible by 4 should be
leap year, except the full centuries.
unless they are divisihle by 400.-Ed.1
