Why Called Leap Year.

Leap year Is year which leaps
over, as II were, one day more than
an ordinary year: q year which con
tains 1856 days, as distinguished from
an ordinary year, which includes only
1856 days. Every year the number OF
which Is divlsible by four is leap
year. except when 1t happens to be
any number Of hundreds not divisible
BY four. Thus 1884 was leap year,
but not 1900, this omission Of leap
years In such centuries being neces-
sary to correct the error which arises
from the excess Of the addition Of one
day In four years Il. e.. six hours) 10
the year over the true length Of the
year, |. e.. 365 days hours 40 min
utes.
