THERE ARE FIVE
SUNDAYS IN FEBRUARY
For the first time in forty years
there will be five Sundays in Feb-
ruary. Ordiuaily the sequence of five
Sundays in February re-oocur once
in each twenty-eight years, but owing
to the fact tliat 1900 was not a leap
year, the calendar "slipped a cog.''
and Sunday being shunted out of
place in numerical order, it did not
get back into position to become the
first and last day of the month from
1SS0 until this year. Those who in-
vented the present system of comput-
ing time discovered that adding one
year in every four years was a frac-
tion too much, so the plan was hit
upon to make century years divisible
by 400 only leap years. This, it was
found, evened things up nicely and
prevented January from eventually
brooming a midsummer month, as
might have been the ca6e some time
in the next fifty thousand years had
this not been dona
The first time In the last century
that February had five Sundays was
in 1824. It happened again in 1852
and again in 18S0, each period of
twenty-eight years apart After this
year the sequence wjli reoccur in 1948,
1976, 2006, 2034, 2062, 2090 and then
since 2100 will not be a leap year,
it will skip to 2130.
