A "solar day" Is measured by the ro tation of tbe earth upon Its axla mid la of different lengths, owing to the elllp tlclty of tbe earth's orbit and other causes, but a "mean solar day" Is twenty-four hours long, aa reckoned by tbe timepieces. An astronomical day commences at noon and Is counted from tbe first to the twenty-fourth hour. A "civil day" commences at midnight and Is count ed from the first to the twelfth hour, and then; again commences with one and finishes with twelve. A "nautical day" la reckoned the same as the "civil day," only that tbe reckoning Is begun nt noon Instead of tit midnight. A "calendur month" vurles from twenty-eight to thirty-one days. A "mean lunar month" is twenty-ulne days, twelve hours, forty-four minutes, two and two-thirds seconds. A "year" la divided Into 3(15 days. A "solar year," wiiirh is the time occupied by the sun in passing from one normal equinox t the other, consists of 304. 24244 days, wbieh Is equal to 305 days, 6 hours, 48 minutes, 4l).5.'!0 seconds.
