By the way, leap year is hero, I will write afow words about it There aro few people that know it means the gaining of a day in the calendar, tlm 1 ' - *?.ts?sujg uuotiu or twenty four hours, and tho adjustment of tho yea re. Nearly everybody lias some dim notion, but its real importance in grasped by few, except scientists, and of these none but tho astrono mer could tell you exactly why it is. There is a va??uo notion that leap year is caused by some flaw in the making out of our time calendar and there is a loss in some manner of six hours every vcar. Our ^ w ?i? viiuvi nui quite tally with the bud's time, and at the end of four years this amounts to twenty-four hours as a whole day. To tuako this up it is necessary to add a doy to tho year; consequently leap year has 3(50 days instead of IW5 days. Leap year enables the astronomers to square things with the ann nn/1 ^ 41 1 1 .....i iw uix-j) hid oki earth moving along just as it should move. If it wero not for leap year thero would bo too much timo lost without a chance of regaining it. Tliis error is corroded by the system of appointing every fourth year leap year. But to the homo mind leap year means nothing more nor luss than an additional day. But connected with leap year there is a bit of sentiment, just as thero is in other nnuivrrsin-ioK ami to the girls who understand leap year it Iiub a significance which belongs to no other year. While 1 am writing about leap year 1 will ju?t say some of our girls said that they wero going to somo of tho young mou'n homo soon and ask them if tlioy would go to church with them. Look out boys.
