New Years
in Egypt

1F A group Of people were ship.
- wrecked or otherwise east upon
their own resources and were to lsse
track Of the date they would have no
easy means Of finding 1t again. Our
year is an artificial one, and so must
be made by careful study In well
equipped obseryatories. Without pre-
else instruments it would be dimcult
TO FIX the day when the new year be-
gins.
The ancient Egyptians experienced
no such difficulty. Their year, from
which ours Is derived, had a perfectly
Natural beginning. It always COM
menced on the day when Sirius and
the sun rose together.
The temples Of Egypt were really
observatories, built to face this or that
star as Il rose. They were more or
less elaborate, but all had as their
fundamental plan long narrow pas
sage down which the stars rays came,
and dark chamber at the far end
where the priest made the observa-
ton and where the image was kept.
The beginning Of the new year was
an important event. We can picture
the scene as the priests, followed by
the scribes, lawyers, merchants, and
the curious crowd, wind their way up
to the temple In the first streaks Of
dawn, and take their appointed places.
AS daylight comes on the interest Of
everyone is centered on two groups.
The priests on the roof are strain
ing their eyes for the first glimpse Of
the coming sun, while those, down In
the dark chamber are watching for
Sirius. Soldiers are stationed around
the temple to keep the crowd silent
and to prevent stragglers from cross
ing the path Of the stars rays in front
Of the temple door at the critical
moment.
A shout bursts from those on, the
roof as the sun tops the horizon. The
observers below watch their water
clocks carefully now as the minutes
are told of, and strain their eyes at
the narrow opening where Sirius is to
shine. In a few moments Sirius itself
flashes into view, and the new year
has begun.
The Egyptians discovered that the
year has an extra quarter of day In
IL. They did it by noting that on some
years Sirius and the sun rose almost
together, while on others there was an
appreciable difference In time, and that
these changes repeated themselves
every five years: They found the
length Of the year to within II minutes
OF its true value, which was a remark
able thing to do with the primitive ap-
planes they had at hand.

face looked back at the old, spent

the new, fresh year. They gave pres
