GARRETT P. SERVISS ON WHEN
LEAP YEAR is SKIPPED
Must Depend Upon Clocks as Long as Earths
Regularity Is Motion Mystery

ing occurred in 1896, and the lat
ter in 1904, the year 1900 not
being a leap year by the Gre
gorian rule. The leap years of
every century are the 4th. the
9Th, the 18th and so on. But
1000 will be the first century"
leap year that has occurred since
the Gregorian system was adopt
ed in Protestant countries.
The Julian and the Gregorian
systems both stand on the same
principle, the latter being sim
ply q refinement upon the former.
Caesar knew that there were
about 1861 solar days in the
year. In order to make a calendar
without fractions of days, he de-
creed that each year should con-
tain 365 days, but that to every
fourth year one additional tday
should be added. This day was
assigned to the month of Feb
ruary.
But Caesars fraction was only
a rough approximation. Instead
of 1854 days, i. e., 365 days .
hours, the year contains only 800
days 5 hours 48 minutes 45A2
seconds, very nearly. 1t is thus
IL minutes 14A seconds shorter
than Caesars estimate. This diff
ference had accumulated enough
by the year 1852 A. D. to put the
Julian calendar ten days ahead
of the spring Equinox, which
had occurred on March FL in the
year 325 A. D. Then Pope Greg
DRY under the advice of his
astronomers, ordered that ten days
be dropped from the calendar,
and since the gain by the Julian
system had been little more
than three days every 400 years,
he saw that the discrepancy could
be nearly corrected by dropping
the leap year three times IN 400
years, whence the rule making
only those century years leap
years that are divisible by 400. Il
1t is we'll known that even the
Gregorian system is only a close
approximation, and new reform
of the calendar may be effected
whenever it shall appear to be
worth while. All the trouble, as
you will observe, arises from the
fact that the earth does not turn
an even number of times on it's
axis while making one journey
around the sun. AS we have not
yet discovered any way to reg
ulate the earth's motions we have
to regulate our clocks and cal
endar instead. So Mohammed
went to the mountain when the
mountain wouldn't come to him.

THERE has been no change
Il since the adoption of Pope
Gregory's amendment to the
Julian calendar in 1882. Feb
ruary, 1911, was not leap year
by the established Gregorian sys-
tenn. and it would not have been
a leap year previous to the amend
ment under the Julian system. In
the Julian calendar, established by
julius Caesar, every fourth year
was 'bissextile," or leap year:
bur by the Gregorian amendment,
which has been in use in English
speaking countries since 1852, no
century year" 1. e., no year
nominally opening a new century,
can be a leap year unless its fig
ures are Invisible by 400 without
remainder. But the rule that
every fourth year shall be a lean
year continues to apply to all the
years between the century years.
For example. II We go back
ward, the month of February.
Nir1A n a
by the Julian calendar, would also
have twenty-nine days under the
Gregorian amendment, since 1900
is evenly Invisible by 400. But no
century year since 1900 has been
a leap year, for neither 1900,
1900 nor 1900 is Invisible by 400.
However, the next century year,
1900, will be leap year.
1t is interesting to see how the
Gregorian amendment to the
calendar interposes between the
closing years of a century and
the opening years of the follow
ing one, a gap or eight years
from one bissextile to the next.
Thus the year 1896 was a leap
year by both Julian and Gre
gorian reckoning, but 100 was
not a leap year under the re-
vised calendar. So there was a
gap of eight years between the
last leap year of the seventeenth
century and the first of the
eighteenth, the latter falling in
1904.
The same thing occurred at
the close of the eighteenth and
the opening Of the nineteenth
century, 1896 being a leap year
and 1900 not a leap year. Like
wise there were eight years be-
tween the last leap year # the
nineteenth century and the first

| FIRST WATCH
500 YEARS AGO

GOMEONE once said that boy
~ would do anything for PEN
knife, but everyone now knows
that a boys prestige is not def.
nitely established until he can boast
of the possession of a watch.
There is no sensation that can
be compared with the thrill he ex-
periences when for the first time
he can pull his own watch out of
his own pocket and tell you what
time it is. Unless, of course, it
is the fascinating business Of pry-
ing off the back to watch the
wheels go round.
The first name to be associated
with, this wonderful instrument
is that of Thomas Tompion, who
produced watch in the eighteenth
century that is essentially the
same as the one used today. The
watch, as we know it, consists of
a case containing a handspring,
a set of wheels which control the
hands, an escapement, and
small wheel that is a combination
balance wheel and hairspring.
The handspring, which fur
nishes the drive for the wheels
that move the hands, is very
delicately constructed, diminish
ing in size from one end to the
other. 1t is wound up for only a
few turns, so that the force from
it may not vary to any degree.
The escapement mechanism Gre
ates the periodic movements shat
keep the balance wheel vibrating.
The aforementioned part is made
up of "a small wheel, to which is
fastened a spiral hairspring. This
wheel, swinging with the regu.
larity of a pendulum through an
angle of from $50 to go degrees,
marks the best of the watch.
Needless to say, this compli-
Gated piece of mechanism did not
spring full-grown from the mind
oe Tompion. There were crude
forerunners Of this invention as
far back as the end of the fiji
tenth century. But the time
pieces of that early date were
more ornamental than useful.
One type of watch, oval III form
and made in Germany. was named
the Nuremberg egg" and being
too large to carry in the pocket,
was worn suspended from the
girdle.
