and he played with it idly, as he
brooded. And David was playing with
his hand. David was sweeping his
hand over his harp, seeking as afore-
time to win Saul by las music from
the fit of melancholia which had seiz-
ed him.
And Saul sought to smite David
even to the wall with the spear. A
sudden frenzy, born of his jealousy,

habit of yielding to his fits of pas-

But he slipped away out of Saul's pre-

to meet the wolves and bears that at-
tacked his sheep. And David fled, and
escaped that night. He sawclearly
that further attempts to soothe Saul
were futile; the king had placed him-
self beyond help.
And Saul . sent messengers unto'

V,*lay do we start our neve year on.
January 1.
Agd why is our newest year num-
bered 1930?
Put the Asst question to the first
ten persons you meet, suggests a bul-
letin from the Washington, D,C,,
headquarters of the National Geo-
graphic Society, and you will prob-
ably get three or less satisfactory
answers,
Put the second question to the
same persons' and perhaps half of
theta will insist that 1930 years next
Christmas have elapsed since the
birth of Christ.
It would be reasonably correct to
answer both questions by the state-
ment: `Because or an error.
There is really no reason for start-
ing each new year on that day called
January 1, except that Julius Caesar
so decreed it when he reformed the
calendar approximately 1,976 years
ago. But the day of the year that
Caesar called. "January I" is not the
day that we so designate. Instead it
isber 28the'day that we now call "Decem
."
Because Caesar,assumed the year
to be eleven minutes and fourteen se-
conds longer titan it really is, the
dates "crawled through the centur-
ies, away from the position that Ju-
lius Caesar grave• them, until by 1582.,
they were fourteen days out of place.
"January 1" had advanced almost to
the middle of the "January" marked
out by 'Caesar.,
In ' attempting to correct this dis-
crepancy, Pope Gregory turned the
calendar back, not to its position in
Caesar's day, but to its position at
the time of the church council of
Nicaea in 325 A.D., when the Galen

But after all, the f&ct that Jan-
uary 1 is still four days away from
the position fixed " by the;: fiat of a
Roman emperor is of no great signifi-

W. Mitchell, be thought of as a circle. A trip

In fact, throughout the" past, differ=

all four of the seasons. The Jews

the Romans on March 25, the Egyp-
flans on September 21, the Greeks on

When growing Christianity, after ex-
perimenting
xperimeriting with other dates, 'chose
December as the date on which to
' celebrate the birth of Jesus, it chose
the day that had been marked out
'under the Julian system by the win-
ter
solstice. But even then the date,
jowing to the Julian error, had mov-
ed from the solstice; and by the time
the Christmas calebi'ation_ became
general, the calendar lead crawled
forward until the day called Decetn r
ber 25 occurred four days later than
the solstice.' 'As the centuries passed,
