By It a leap year 1b dropped at tho end of three Cen turies out of four, fo that nny year di visible by 100 without romnindor Is not a leap year unless It la nlso divisible by 00; tbUB. 1900 will not bo a leap vear: 2000 will and 2100 will not A. moro accurate rule would be to drop'a leap year at the end of each buccpsbIvo period of 123 years; and, In nccordancJ with this, n French astronomer. M. Auric, points out that it would bo prcf ferablo to retuln 1900 rb a leap yenr and drop one in 1920, which Is a multlplo (flftecn tl.-aes) of 12S. But tinkering too frequently with established calendar rules Is much to be deprecated; he sug gests, therefore, to abide by the Greg orian rule until tho year 3200 and dinp a leap year In that year and every suc ceeding multiple of 3200 (6100, 0COO, etc.), which would be leap yean according to Gregorian rule. Strictly speaking. e,vcry Interval of 12S years should contain 31 bissextile leap years, Instead of tho 32 which It would by tho Julian rule, making every fourth vear a leap year. Now, 25 times 123 amounts to 3,200, which number of years! Bhoilld therefore contain 25 fewer leap years than they would by the Julian rule; 1. ft., 775 instead of 800. The Gregorian rnlo puts 97 leap years In 400 years (thna fewer than the Julian), and therefora 776 In 3,200 yearB, which Is one too many. The suggestion, then, appeal a to be n good ono. but It obviously will not be poBlsblo for this generation or many future generations) to decide up on Its adoption. For the present will condole with those who t-hull bo born on the 29th of February next On their having no birthday for disht years, as there will be no other 29th of February until 1904, except Jn Hussta, which still adheres to U Julian calen dar. Fatnlltte from LlRhtnlnff. Dnmago by lightning is unmlBtaltablj Increasing, according to tho director of the statistical office of Berlin.
