the year 100; and if not, why not?
Tbe year was a leap year, and .
the next one will be 1). eight years (
later. This Is on account of the in !
genious device for maintaining, as
nearly as can be. concordance between
the civil or Orexorian calendar and
the solar or astronomical calendar.
Everybody knows that the trine re
quired tor the earth to make e, revolu.
tlon around the sun is the true solar
year. It to easy to see why men, la
their ordinary affairs do not give the
year Its exact solar time value, but leap years. The suppression of lesp
employ the civil calendar. The length ; year In 1900 leave a srap betweii the
of the solar year, expressed preclseJy, two calendars since the adoption of ths
Is 265.24221 days, or s ittle less than Oregorian calendar of only about n
2S54 days. It is obvioms that In the ninth of day, which Is the balance oh
business affairs of life lt would be very
inconvenient to use a time division call
ed a year containing mo many days
and a fraction of a day. For ordinary
purposes the year must be counted as
so many days. The ordinary year is.
therefore, counted j aa ZZ5 days, which
Is nearly a fourth of a day shorter than
the true year. :
Of coarse this time difference be
tween the solar and tbe civil year must
be accounted for, sooner or later, and.
when it Is convenient so to do, the true
and the artiSdsi year mw be brought
Into concordance as nearly as possible.
Tlx common cIVU year is too short by
J 42214 of a day. In four years this
amounts to .tt&Sfri of a day, and so

day was required to bring the civil and

2.113 days. Bo Another balance Is
