Divides the Yesr Into Thirteen Months, Each Having 28 Days. We. haveceived from San Isn. eisco. a copy of a groposed oalendar whose aim Is to avoid the acknowl edged drawbace of the Gregorian cal endar by substituting one that is bet ter suited to the requirements ofeour every-day life. Although the Gregorian calendar dates from the year 1582, long before that many and various Irm provemnents had been suggested for conveniently dividing the 365 days of the year into weeks and months. Our correspondents ask: "Are we not again far enough advanced beyond the times of 1582 to adopt certain oth er changes?" And they offer a calen gr which divides the fifty-two weeks of the year into 13 months, each hav ing exactly twenty-eight days. The first of January and the first of every - one of the twelve succeeding months fall on a Sunday, and the 28th or last day of each month therefore, falls on a Saturday. The obvious advantage of this arrangement is that, since each day of the week must be one of four numbers out of the 28th (Sunday for any month of the year being either the 1st, 8th, 16th. or 22d; Tuesday either the 3d, 10th, 17th. or 24th, etc.) if one knows the day of the week it is possi ble to find the day of the month quick. ly and without reference to a calen dar. The additional month necessary un der this system is named by its spon sore "Vincent"; and it is placed in the calendar between June and July. Thirteen months of twenty-eight days. however, give a total of only 3614 days for the year, and to accommodate the odd day it is proposed that be tween Saturday, the last day of De cember, and Sunday, the first day. of January, there should be a day to be I known as "Anno Day." It is not reo ognized as a calendar day, and, be- F yond its name, has no other distinc tion to separate it from the last day of December. Any labor done on - Anno Day would have to be a matter of special contract or agreement. No interest or rental will accrue upon that day, and for all such purposes it would be considered a part of Dec. 28. Leap year is provided for by an e extra day between Saturday, Vincent b 14, and Sunday,. Vincent 15. This L would be known as "Mid-Anno Day," fi and it would be treated in all re speots asimilrly to Anno Day. E Although there can be no question o of the simplicity and convenience of the proposed calendar, in respect to any prospect of its immediate and world-wide adoption we fear it must I be classed with those two other great e desirables, the "metric system" and t the "longer daylight day." We are t not more firmly convinced of the ad- I vantage of this and those proposi tions for simplifying and rendering casier and more pleasant the round f of daily life and its duties than we a -are that to bring about these sug gested improvements will take many a years of arduous and persistent ag t tation.-Scientlfic American.

Foremost and most representatives of the debating societies of Oxford University is the Union. It is the fountain head, as It were, of unt versity oratory, yet many of the smaller debating clubs exert an enor. mous influence in the training of the rising politician and orator. "Some of the finest speeches I have ever heard from undergradu ates in Oxford," writes Mr. Grevals Rentoul In the Oxford and Cambridge Review, "have been dqlivered ln one or the other of the smaller debating clubs, where the attendance often did not number more than twenty or thirty in all. '"There speakers seemed more id clined to let themselves go and less afraid of. appearing foolish, which is the bugbear. of most undergraduates. "Since the speakang at Oxford is , almost entirely such as ouald occur in debate and therefore la essentially I controversial, not only the Union but Salso the smaller clubs as well try to g follow as best they can the procedure I of the House of Commons. The presi o dent is, however, endowed with al most autocratic powers and does his e best to .prevent the debate as far as possible from degenerating into mere n personal abuse and to help to coe t centrate the speaker's attention on ), the subject under discussion.
