The Year and the Calendar.

After julius Caesar corrected the cal.
endar the year was still II minutes
ii seconds too long, amounting to
one day in 1913 years. AS the centuries
passed the interval between the COM
mencement Of the year and the spring
equinox grew less. 1t was not, how
ever, until 1882 that anything was done
about it. Then Pope Gregory XIII. set
out to remedy the difficulty. This he
did by directing the suppression OF ten
days outright In order to provide for
the future he ordered that all century
years Q7OO, 1900. etc. which would
ordinarily be leap years should be COM
mon years unless they were multiples
Of 400 This arrangement. which still
holds good. leaves only one day too
much in 3.4OO years. A French scien-
fist has proposed dropping an add
tional day in the year 5000 and repeat
ing the process every 5000 years. This
would leave us short one day every
10000 years. which may be considered
correct enough for all practical pur-
poses. At any rate. the matter Is not
pressing.-New York Post.

Haievx and the DUO de Morny.

It may not be generally known in
what circumstances Halevy owed his
advancement in the French civil serv-
Ice to the Due de Morny. The duke, an
amateur of the arts, had begun to write
the libretto of comic opera of which
Offenbach was to provide the music.
He found that he had not the time-Or
perhaps that he had not the talent-to
finish it. He sought collaboration, and
Halevy came to the rescue and kept
his secret When, therefore, the office
Of the ministry Of Algeria, which he
held, was suppressed he had no hesita-
ton in asking his august patron for the
post which he sought on the Journal
Omciel. 1.-THE very thingv' exclaimed
the duke There is six months vaca-
ton when the chamber Is not sitting.

The Moat DANGEROUS Fish.

The shark and the octopus are usu
ally looked upon as the most danger
GUS among the denizens Of the deep.
but it appears that fishermen who fire.
quent tropical waters have a much
greater fear of the devilfish, the green
moray and the swordfish. There seems
to be unanimity of opinion that the
shark and the octopus will not attack
a boat, while the others which have
been mentioned will. And, moreover,
the attacks Of the devilfsh, the moray
and the swordfish are a great deal
more terrific than those of the shark
and the octopus.
The devilfish is large ray which
infests the warm waters OF the At
lantic. 1t attains weight of ton
and a half, has horrible looking teeth
and barbed, poison holding spike in
it's tail which it uses with tremendous
effect when it assails party In a
boat. The green moray is to be met
with off the coast Of Bermuda. 1t re-
sembles a conger ell, but is green In
color. The moray is reckoned the most
savage inhabitant of any water.
