That there should be many odd fea-
tures of the Chinese calendar is not
surprising when one remembers that
the yellow race still adheres to the
system adopted, in the Year 2300 B.C.
Yea, who was countect a wise ruler
by his race, revised the calendar in
that year, decreeing that thereafter
time should be measured by the moon.
In order to make the calendar accur-
ate he iturther provided that there
should be seven extra xn'enthe inthe
course of every nineteen years. As a
result Chinese time varies little more
than an hour every nineteen years
from the true time.
In a general way, time Is ceunted
in China by two- mothods--first, by
cyclee of sixty ,years each, and, sec-
cial separate pens should be provid-
ed in whiehethe needed attention may
be given.
