Today is the day that makes a leap lenpear
year ear of o 1903 When the Great Architect Architectof
of Creation made the universe unversc with Its
1 V myriads of suns moons and stars and andfixed andt1
fixed t1 ed the laws whereunder they should shouldreolve
revolve in their alloted courses through throughillimitable
illimitable space and through ocuntless ocuntlcssyears
years He gave to this old earth of ours ourSa
a path In which to travel around the sun sunAnd
And It takes Just enough longer than an aneven ancen
even number of 0 days for It to complete completethat
that circuit to put the reckoners of time
at their wits end to keep the calendar calendarin I
in harmony with the seasons A year to tobe tob
be exact cCact consists COflStst of 35521242424 days and andhow
how to handle that fraction of a day so SOas
as to keep the calendar exactly right is Isa
a problem never solved sohedlC
If a year consisted of 36525 3652 days da s or
365 days and 6 hours Instead of 365 days dayshours
5 hours 43 minutes and 45 45Y seconds secondscounting
counting time would be easy eas As it is Iswhen
when we add a leap year ear every fourth fourthear
year ear we get Just a little ahead of time timeThen timeThen
Then we come along to the end of a cen century
tury with our leap years and by that thattlmo
time we w have gotten so much ahead hcad that thMon
on the year ending ending the century we must mustnot
not add the quadrennial day lest we get getIt
It f too far in advance of the earths travels travelst
t around the sun But when we take these thesecentenary thesecentena
centenary centena y leap years ears out we get a little littlebehind littlebehInd
behind time again so that every 400th 400thyear
year we have to put one in again This Thisfractional Thisiractlonal
fractional part of a day makes us always alwaysJust alwaysjust
Just a little behind time or a little ahead aheadoC
of it as fl the case may be In 4000 years yearsthings yearsthings rcarsthings
things will still be a day ahead of time timennd timeand
and It bas been suggested that the years yearsdivisible ears earsdivisible
