In the French revolution tho na tional convention adopted a new cal endar containing twelve months of thirty days each. The five days In the year thus left were disposed of hy making them "festivals." TJie months were named not January, February, etc.; but Vendemaire, Brumaire, Fri maire, Nivose, Pluviose, Ventose, Ger minal, Floreal, Prairial, Messidor, Thermldor and Fmctidor. Each of these names had a meaning. Instead of naming a month meaning lessly after a heathen god, as we name January after Janus and March after Mars, tho names represented the spe cial characteristics of the month. Fructldor, for instance, which Includes part of what we call September, means "the fruity month;" Germinal, the first' of the Bpring months, running from tbe last of March to the middle of April, means "the month of buds," and Flo real, which follows It, the "flowery" or "floweral" month. Thermldor, which means the "hot month," is the month which under the republican calendar Included part of July find part of Augrist The political significance of the word arises -from the fact that the revolution which verthrew Robespierre and ended the reign of terror occurred on the 9th of the month of Thermldor, or, as we should say, July 27, 1794. It was call ed "the revolution of Thermldor," as we speak of "the September massa cres," and the revolutionists were nick-, named "Thermidorlans." The Inventor of the calendar was Komme.
