LEAP YEAR.
How Tho Potentates of tlio Past Juggled
With tho Calendar.
A word regarding leap year may not bo
Inappropriate at this time. Historians toll us
that the ancient ltomans divided their year
into 12 lunar months of 20 and DO days
alternately. This gavo them 35i days, to
which they added another day to make tho
nuinbor of days in a year uneven, bolloving
that odd numbers were moro fortunato than
oven ones.
Ton days wcro thus lost every yoarj but
Numa Inserted an oxtr.v month every two
years containing alternately 22 and 3a days ;
this month was introduced into the calendar
Immediately after February 23rd, In this way
tho number of days was Incieased so as to
make 1 10,1 clays In four years. Tho avcrago
length of the year then being I00 days. To
offset this gain of ono day each year over tho
trtio solar time bo divided tho years Into
periods of 8 years each and In ovory third 8-yoar-perlod
he inserted only 3 extra months
of 22 days each. This reduced tho avcrago
length of year to 303 days which was ap
proximately correct. Itut tho Interjecting of
the Intercalary month was left to tho discre
tion of tho rulers aud they not unfrcnucntly,
to prolong their reign or to hasten or delay
an election, would add to or subtract from
tho number of days in this extra month.
With tho advice and asslstanco of Soslgcnes,
Caesar iu tho year 10 1), C. abolished the use'
of tho lunar method of calculating time and
adopted tho solar. Ho fixed tho numbor Of
clays in a year at 3Uj, una overy lourtli year
added an extra day to February, making tho
avcrago 303J. Itut tho truo solar year brings
only 305 days 5 hours 48 minutes aud 40.02
seconds long ho really lost about ten minutes
in a year and by tlio year 1582, almost ten
days were lost. Itogor liacon and others
appealed to I'opo Gregory XIII to readjust
tho calendar properly, Ho ordered tho
Catholic countries in 1582 to call October 5th,
October 15th. Iiesido this he ordered that
tho length of the average civil year bo re
duced to tho length of tho solar year by tho
intercalary day from every ccnturial year
not divisible by 400. Thus tho year 1000 will
not bo a leap year whilo 2000 will bo.- The
next leap year wo will enjoy will bo In 1001.
This method of calculation was adopted at
once by Spain, Portugal and Italy, but tho
English speaking peoplo did not adopt it
until tlio latter half of tho last century.
Another interesting factahout tbo calendar
is tho way in which February came to have
only 28 days In common years aud 20 in leap
year.
When Julius Caesar adjusted tho calendar
ho gave 31 days to January, March, May,
July, September and November; 30 days to
each of tho other months except February
which had 29 days. When Augustus Caesar
came to tho throuo ho was not pleased that
July, tbo month named for Julius, should bo
of longer duration than tho month bearing
his name August. So ho took ono day from
February, leaving it 28, and added it to
August, making it 31. Then, In order that
til roe months of 31 days each would not come
together, as in July, August and September,
ho took ono day from September and one
from November and added them to October
and December, giving them 31 respectively
and leaving September and November 30
each. Thus his ambition is indelibly stamped
upon tho calendar.
Popo Gregory XIII has also left bis mark,
Originally Julius had decided that tho 24th
of March should mark tho crnal Equinox,
but by tho discrepancy in his calendar it was
thrown back to March 14th by tlio time of
Gregory XIII in 1582. In A. D. 323 tho
church council had convened at Nice and tho
Vernal Equinox falling then upon tho 21st of
March they decided that should becomo tho
established day, and they decreed that Easter
should bo reckoned from that day, to which
Gregory XIII gavo his sanction, aud it so
stands to tho present day.
