Following is a history 'of how our present calendar came to be estab lished; The Egyptions determined the true length of the year—365.242 days- and divided it into 12 months of 30 days each. The five extra days (or six days in leap year) were devoted to festival holidays. After the conquest of Egypt, Julius! Caesar, in 46 B. C., adopted thcj Egyptian calendar for the Roman' empire, except, it is stated, he didj not continue the equal months of the Egyptians. He distributed the five extra days throughout the year by adding one to every other month.
