It now seems that the Holy B.vnod ot the list moment has Intervened, and ha* demonstrated objections to any reform, ami that these object ions have been made to prevail. According to the Novoe Vremya the Holy Pynnd pointed out that in order really to Chrietkmtse the calen dar. one should replace the equinox on that day In March on which It fell in the very year of the nativity of Christ, which the committee assumed as an axiom to have been March 23. To that end they suggested that In the reform of the Julian calendar fourteen day* should be omitted. It being of no Importance wheth er the advantage of the Christ la nlxation of the calendar would cause the Orthodox world to be one day In advance of the reel of the elvlbxed world. The uniformi ty In the -late* of the month with the calendar of the pagan West ought, more over. tn have so little value In the eyes of the Orthodox that the committee sug gested also the omlsson of a bissex tile every 128 year*, which measure would cause In the year 192-1 a difference of two days. Finally the synod pointed out that the committee h id forgotten that the year of Christ * nativity wa* not yet sufficient ly known, and that be-ause of the lean yeor the equinox oscillates between two ibfferent dates, the whole project was based on the two unknowns x and y. Not withstanding the fact that the demand or the commercial heads of Russia for reform wa* at the beginning most ardent ly espoused by Russian scientific circles, the latter have now accepted the logic of the Holy Bynod, and a short time ago Ptof. O. Hackiund, director of the Pulkova Observatory, gave expression to this sur render of science and an article to the Bulletin de i'Academig Impcriale de* Sciences de St. Petersburg, declaring that all attempts to find out a calendar more exact, though not perfect, than the Ore g--t tun is an enterprise which, besides not offsttug any practical advantages, ts aot even Justified from the standopint of mod ern nclenee Prof. Ceeare Tondini de (Juarenghi Ironically remark* concerning tire non-possumus of Russia that Russian scientist* should have based their Ideas of reform solely upon “the solar system, over which the enormous power of Hut sto ha* no Jurisdiction whatever, and not have tried to span the breach between .the Gregorian and the Julian.'’ / TftADr majuc ME, PALATABLE, PURCHASABLE 0 111 A me 111.
