hich comes from the
atlil'Opo_a'House, Toronto, is on a
veru elaborate scale,: the views of'the
White City being colored producing a
most beautiful and realistic effect. In
fact the whole entertainment is vastly
superior to those now making a tour
of Canada. Mr. W. E. Ramsay's lecture,
while being instructive and interesting
is also full of humor and his songs
very funny. ,

The . Mitchell Advocate says.—Six

dle entered the left foot of Mr. Geo. Da-

since then caused any amount of troub

would take a journey perhaps down

in Drew's Opera` House on Wednesday
evening Jan. 3rd and should be greet-
ed by a large audience. Both the press
and public are loud in the praise of
this entertainment and pronounce it
the best of the kind eker,given in Can-
ada. The views which are colored are
said to be both elaborate and: most
realistic, the scene of the Liberal Arts
building• at night showing the Search
light, being especially 'good. An op-
portunity will also be given to see Mr.
W. E, Ramsay, the popular artist in a
new role, that of a lecturer, in which he
is said to quite, uphold the high repu-
tation he has gained as :a comic singer,
he having no equal in that line in Can-
ada. Mr. Ramsay as well as
delivering an interesting and humor-
ous lecture, introduces several songs
which always meets with hearty ap
realise., He will doubtless be welcomed
here by a crowded house.
The year 19,00 will not he a leap
year simply because, being a hund-
redth year, although it is divisible by
4, it is not divisible by 400 without a
remainder. This is not the real reason,
but -a result of it; the real reason being
the establishment of the Gregorian
rule, made in 1.582. The nineteenth
century will not end until midnight
of Monday, December Si,1900,although
the old quarrel will probably again be
renewed as to what constitutes a cent-
ury and when it winds up, and thous.
ands will insist on a premature burial
of the old century at midnight of De -
ember 31, 1890, But, as a century
means 100 years, and as the "first cent-
ury could not end till a full 100 ycars
had passed nor the second till 200 years
had passed, etc., it is not logically clear
why the nineteenl'?- r Ilktury should be.
