 The Germans are heavily shelling the allied front from Lens to the Bel gian coast, but thus far there have been no attempts at infantry actions, except for the usual raids in which both sides engage.
 The Russians continue their ad- vance toward Kovel and are now en, gagged in a pitched battle along the banks of the Stockhod, which they have crossed at some points. On the rest of the eastern front, while there is continuous fighting at many places, no important change occurred. Both sides are concentrating their efforts on the Lutsk salient, to the east of xoveI.

I He CAL NDAR YEAR
THE JULIAN AND THE GREGoRlAN
CALENDAR.

THE Julian; year consisted OF '365A
days and exceeded by IL minutes and
1896 seconds the solar year of S65
days 5 hours 48 minutes 46 seconds.
In consequence of this, the equinox
in the course of a few centuries fell
back considerably. In the time of
julius Caesar, it correspondent to
March %, and by the sixteenth CEN
fury it had retrogaded to March IL.
1t was at this time that a physician
of Verona, named Ghiraldi, proposed
a plan for amending the calendar.
He died before he had opportunity to
carry it forward, but his brother pre-
scented it to Pope Gregory XIII, who
assembled a number of learned men
to discuss it. It was passed upon
fayorably and adopted, and thus was
given to the world what has since
been known as the Gregorian Calen-
,dar. In 1882 Gregory issued brief,
abolishing the Julian Calendar in all
Catholic countries, and introducing
the reformed one.
The reform of the Gregorian or
new on the. Julian orSold consisted in
dropping ten days after October 4,
1852, SO that tile 18th was reckoned
Immediately after the 4th. Every one
hundredth year, which by the old
style was. a leap year, was to be q
common year, the fourth century, d.
visible by four, excepted; that is, 1000
was to remain a leap year, but 100,
1900 and 1900 were not to be reck-
oned as such, while 1000 is to- be so
reckoned.
+ LII this calendar year the. length of
the solar year is taken to be 365 days
5 hours 40 minutes and II seconds,
the difference between which and the
true length is immaterial.
