Why 1900 is Not a Leap Year. The following explanation will show you why the year 1900 wi'l not be counted among leap years: The year is 365 days 5 hours and 49 minutes Jong; 11 minutes are taken every year to make the year 365J days long, and every fourth year we have an extra day. This was Julius Caesar’s ar rangement, as explained in “Notes for the Cnrious” in the Republio of Aug. 24th. You may ask: “Where do these 11 minutes come from?” They come from tho future, and are paid by omitting leap year every 100 years. But if leap year is omitted regularly every one hundredth year, in the course of 400 years, it is found that the 11 minutes taken each year will not only have been paid back, but that a whole day will have been given up. So Pope Gregory XIII, who improved on Caaar’s calendar in 1582, decreed that every centurial year divisible by four should be a leap year after all. So we borrow eleven minutes each year more than paying our borrowings back by omitting three leap years, and square matters by having a leap year in the fourth centurial year. Pope Gregory’s arrangement is so ex act, and the borrowing and paying back balanced so nicely, that we bor row more than we pay back to the extent of only one day in 3,866 years. Cheek Carried Him Through. Boston, Nov. 12.—Henry A. Cook, of Leominister, Mass., wanted to be elected to the legislature; so early last month he published a notice to that effect in the local paper, hired a hall, and on Oct. 8 placed himself in nomi nation before a convention of ethus- iastic fellow citizens. He asked no one to ratify the nomination, but he ratified it himself. He told his con stituents why he was a good man for the honor, and that, being sensible people,’Tie knew they would take his- advice and vote for him. He said that there were now eight or ten can didates in the Republican party ready to go before the convention, and that he intended to spike all their guns by telling every mean thing he had ever done, together with some of his good deeds, and thus forestall the possibili ty of being slandered by his enemies. He began with his birth, and show ed that he had been a hostler, a ped dler, a tramp, a groceryman, a stableman, a chairmaker, a comb- maker, a carpenter, a blacksmith, a manufacturer, a gambler, a thief, a large real estate dealer, a lawyer, a detective, and that his present occu pation was seeking the office ol repre sentative. He wanted it understood that he was a total abstainer without being a prohibitionist. The humor and frankness of the would-De legisla tor made him hosts of friends. He tan as an independent, and was elected by a plurality of thirty-four votes over the Republican nominee in a strong republican district. Iowa’s Election. Dubuque, Ia., Nov. 14.—The re turns of the recent elections, as recciv- } ed by the various papers in the state, and of the official count of the vote in Iowa in many counties,vary considably- On the lieutenant governorship at the capital, the Leader, dem., has figures showing that Pcyncr, rep., has about *75 plurality over Bestow, dem. The News, dem., figures it about the same, while the Register, rep., claims’over 3,000 for Poyner. A special to the Herald, here, says that owing to evi dent errors in telegraphing the returns it will take the official canvass by the executive board of the state to decide who is elected lieutenant governor. Boies, for governor, has 7,660 plurality, The rest of the state ticket is republi can. The senate has six republican ' . majority, according to the republican daim. The democrats claim , two of them as independents, and no telling how they will vote.
