MAY YOU HAVE A CHRISTMAS THAT
WILL LINGER LONG IN
THE TREAS
TjjfF A group of people were ship-
j ) wrecked or otherwise cast upon
their own resources and were to lose
track o f the date they would have no
easy means of finding It again. Our
year la an artificial one, and so must
be made by careful study In well
equipped observatories. Without pre
cise Instruments It would be difficult
to fix the day when the new year be
gins.
The ancient Egyptians experienced
no such difficulty. Their year, from
which ours la 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 It rose. They were more or
less elaborate, but all had as their
fundamental plan a long narrow pas
sage down which the star's rays came,
and a dark chamber at the far end
where the priest made the observa
tion and where the Image was kept.
The beginning o f the new year was
an Important event. We ran picture
the scene aa 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 plates.
As daylight cornea on the Interest of
everyone la 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 watchlag for
Sirius. Soldiers are stationed around
tha tempi# to kaep the crowd silent
and to prevent stragglers from cross
ing the path o f tha star's rays In front
of the temple door at the critical
moment.
A shout hursts from those on the
roof aa the aun tops the horizon. The
observers below watch their water
docks carefully now as the minute«
are told off, and strain their eye« at
the narrow opening where Slrfns la to
shine. In a few moments Slrlns itself
Pnshes into view, and the new year
has begun.
•
The Egyptians discovered that the
year has an extra quarter of a day In
It. They did It by noting that on some
years Sirius and the sun rose almost
together, while on others there waa an
appreciable difference In time, and that
these change*' -repeated themselves
•very live' years. They found the
length of the year to within 11 minutes
pf Its true value, which was a remark
able thing to do with the primitive ap
pliances they had at hand.

A« long as people can remember,
there have been New Year parties.
Tha old Romans gave theirs In honor
of Janus, the two-faced god. One
face looked back at the old, spent
year, and one face looked forward to
the new, fresh year. They gave pres
ents to him and to each other with
the hope that the new year would be
good to them. Some of the people who
lived long ago waited until the end of
March to celebrate the New Year,
since that was the time t.hat the trees
and grass began new life.
