THE TWENTIETH
The New York Journal Illustrate*
the end of the Oentnry Problem*
The twentieth century begins
at midnight Dec. 31, 1900, that
is to say, at the beginning of.
the first day of 1001.
The twentieth, century does
not beg^n on the first day of
1900, In other words the nine
teenth century is not finished
until the end of the year 1900.
We have tried in vain to
make this fact .clear to some of
our huge armj? of intelligent
readers. We will try again, at 4,
for the last time.
You adii^gjki£hat you have not
finished the^tifieteenth century
until you hare" flMtohed nine
teen hundred1 years.
Now,then,instead of nineteen
centuries, let us take nineteen
Psllars, each dollar consisting
of 100 cents as each century^
consists of 100 years. Suppose
a man owed you nineteen dol
lars and paid you one cent at a
time. When would you con
sider the payment complete?
When would you have your
nineteen dollars in your poket?
When he had paid you eigh
teen hundred and ninety-nine
cents you would not have your
nineteen dqUars. But when he
tiad paid yoir nineteen hundred
cents you would haye your
nineteen dollars, and your
twentieth dollar would begin
with the payment of the next
cent.
Similarly, when Father Time
has paid us eighteen hundred
and ninety-nine

He must give us one more
year,namely, the nineteen hun
dredth year, to make the nine
teen centuries complete. After
he shall have given us that
yeai' he will begin to pay us the
twentieth century and the first
year of that century will be
nineteen hundred and one, just
as the first cent of the twentieth
dollar is the nineteen hundred
and first cent. The nineteen
hundredth cent is only the last
cent of the nineteen dollars,and
the nineteen hundredth year is
only the last year of the nine
teenth century.
the love of heaven, get
this in your heads and keep it
there. And whatever you do,
don't write.us any more letters
sagely proving that the nine
teenth century ends and the
twentieth century begins when
we have only lived through
eighteen hundred and ninety
nine years. The nineteenth
century will end when we shall
have lived through nineteen
hundred years, namely, on the
last day of December,1900.
If this does not convince you,
come to the Journal office with
$1,900. We will gladly give
$1,899 in change. If you accept
that you will believe that "the
nineteenth century ends At the
end.of lSOD, If you don't accept
$1,898 in exchange for your
$1,900, then you don't Chink
that the nineteenth century
ends till the end of 1900.
If you are not prepared to
makcLthis $1,900 test don't let
us Hear from you.
In further Support of the cor
rectness of .the statement that
the present c^nt^ui7 does not
end until the close of the pre
sent yearthe New \Yorkf
quotes Camille Flammaripn/
the' great French 9atronom&.
&ere is wh'at the Sun says:

same arguments
that are now em^y^J^: Set it

ries the fact that printing wea^

cussion to oral debate^or, phat i^i^ar
is more likely, men in general
were content to accept the one
Church's view of the matter
without troubling their own
heads about it.
The only mathematics In
volved in the Pqueatibn Is
whether a century means. a
hundred years of t^ot The rest
is merely a question of his
torical facts. The problem is
not whetharthere might, could
or should%Ki^ ^^n a. yf^arj) in
the computatibn^"years) but
whether the persons who in
troduced the present universal
system of counting years from
the birth of Christ used such a
year or its equivalent. The.
mathematical side of the
dispute has already beeA put
clearly in the Sun. To that.^x
position may be added the one
given by Camille Flammarion,.
the French' astronomer, in the
Annales litteraires et politi
•ques:, "The problem is pretty
simple. A Ten is composed of
ten units the number"' ten
torufs part of the Tetr^ A- Hun
dred is composed of 100 units
The number:one hundred forms
part of the Hundred, Now,
there was no year 0 in the
Christian era the first year of
the era is the year 1. What
ever date or particular moment
of time be accepted as the be^
ginning of the Christian-era,,
there has been no year Q.
Therefore, the first year is the
year 1, -the tenth year the year
10 and the hundredth y^ear of
the first century-is the year 100."
That Was the method followed
when the French Revolution
created anew calendar it did
not imagine a year 0, but called
its first year the year 1. What
seeips.to deceive some minds*
probably superficial at least in
so far as chronology is con
cerned, is the change «of the
first two figures,the figures do
nating hundreds, in the num
bers 1799 and 1800, 1899 and
1900, etc. We pass with these
"99" years from 17 to 18 and
from jB to 1%. That is true.
But twjfe^ls'hd^ difference in
that
p^ss from the. numwr 9 to the
number 10, from the number
to the number 100, that is,to
the completion of the Ten and
of the .Hundred in the decimal
system. A Ten goes from 1 to
10, a Hundred from 1 to 100."—
