At the end of the ninety-ninth year the one hundredth year began, but the second century could nat begin till the one hundredth year had run its full twelve months. Thus, by in- ference, the year 1899 is the eighteen hun- dred and ninety-ninth year, but the hun- dredth year will have to be written 1900. At the end of ‘the year 1900 the nineteenth hundredth year A. D. will be compiete, not before. The following January, A.

It is evident that not until he had finished his first year was he one year old and beginning his second year; mot until he had finished his tenth year was he 10 years oid and beginning his second decade; mot until he had finished his hundredth year would he be 10 years old and peginning his second cantury, and not until he had completed his nineteen hundredth year would he be 1%0 years old and entering his twentieth century. The whole question them turns upon whether the first year of his life is to be called year 1 or year nothing. In all reckoning with mathematical terms we deal with units and aggregates of units. To make up 100 we must take 100 units, and to make up 190 we must take 1300 units. If our unit is asyear we require 100 years for a century and 1900 years for nineteen centuries. Suppose we had twenty bundred logs, divided into plles of 100 each, or twenty centuries of logs. On these we are to keep a primitive record of time Ly cutting a notch on the first log every day for a year from the birth of Christ and burning it on the first Christmas an- niversary, and then proceeding to do the same with the second and all the suc- ceeding logs for the second and follow- ing years. It requires but & moment's - D computation to see that on Christmas, 1899, we would burn the ome thousand eight hundred and ninety-ninth log, and the one thousand nine hundredth, com- pleting the time record for a full 1%0 vears from Christ's birth, would be con- sumed on Christmas, 1%90. We have then got rid of just nineteen centuries of logs, and would begin marking the first days of the twentieth century on the first log of our last remaining 1. So astronomi- cally, mathematically and according to the calendar and such “common sense” ° - 1901. century. The first day of January, 1%1, will be the very first day of that century, and the first hour of that first day of January will be the very beginning of the twentleth century. During the second 100 years the years were written 101, 102, until 199 was reached. Yet this was the only means of expre g in numbers the addi- tion of 1+100, 24100, 3+100, etc., as $8+100 or 99-+100. But 9+100 is not equal to 200. r is 1500499 1900. It is simply 18%9. When we add 1500-+-100 it will be 1390. And that begins and likewise ends the last year of the se- ries of 1300 years. When we write 191 we are in the first year of the next, the twentieth century. X Y. Z eseserststesestressesrseeses i 1 as the writer can lay claim to, the twen- tieth cemtury begins the first instant of the first day of January, A. D. 191, just ds the fifst century began the first day of the first month of A. D. 1. As a matter of fact, no ome knows when it begins, as the correct date of the birth of Christ s unknown, and is not likely ever to be discovered. A. G. MARSHALL. Century Has One Hundred Years. To the Editor of the Herald: Will you please set people right? There are so many people confused about when the end of the century.is. Of course each one thinks he is right. Are there not 10 cents in a dollar and 100 years in a century? Ergo, as Gobbo says, next year December 31, 1909, will close the nineteenth century, and January 1, 151, will begin a new century. A TEACHER. Regard the Centuries as a Debt. To the Editor of the Herald: If not ungallant to dfiffer from a woman, I would lke to state that If Margaret Z. Dodd owed $190, or 1900 years’ ser- vice, she would learn that evea 1899 and 999-1000 does not make 1900. In other words, a thing is not whole until it s complete, and we are not at the end of the nineteenth century until we shall have reached December 31, midnight, 1900, and begin to say 1%1. Then begins the toiling of the twentieth century, another - ! TABLE CONTRIBUTED BY “COMMON SENSE. { ‘ h;llneseera The P‘y ; T ;:B::n no g’.

BEN K. CURTIS. Flammarion Not Disturbed. To the Editor of the Herald: How can you print such utter rubbish as M. Z. Dodd’s diagram? M. Z. Dodd bases her argument upon & totally false proposition. The year 1 is be- gun when you “reach” A. D. L. It is ended when you end A. D. 1 and reach A. D. 2 That “the lady doesn’'t agree with Flammarion'” is no disgrace to the latter and probably won't disturb his se- renity of mind. If “the lady” has a baby brother, please find out if it was born a year old. Mine only began its Second year at the end of its first. Is that ab- normal? I suspect the Lord did just the same. Perhaps the lady’s baby brother siam- bered for twelve months, so she called that A. D. 0. Mine yelled most of the time, 80 I called it A. D. (with a very biz) 1. Perhaps she doesn’t understand enough Latin to translate A. D. H. B. SHAEN. ‘Was There a Year Zerof To the Editor of the Herald: One of your correspondents, Margaret Z. Dodd, gives, it seems to me, rather an erroneous explanation of the de-si tangle. How would Margaret Z. Dodd write the first day of the first year? Evidently January 1, year 0; but people with equal clalms to “common sense” wrote it Janu- ary 1, year 1. In reality ome year is passed when we reach December 31, year 1, and ten years are passed when we reach December 31, year 10, and 10 years are passed when we reach December i, year 100, and 190 vears are passed when we reach December 31, year 1900.

A mammoth furniture car could not have contained the coin the crowd at Tanforan wagered yesterday on Forte. Schreiber’s horse ruled an even money choice for the last event on the card and the books were fairly besieged with money. Forte was practically left at the post with only four facing the barrier and Corrigan’s Chimura carried off all the honors. After making a wonderful | run the favorite made a herofc bid for | miles and an eighth. the purse, being beaten but a length, al- though the winner may have had a pound or two in reserve, which is doubt- ful.

The mile selling run went to Red Pirate. Nine to ten at post time looked a good price against the chestnut horse, and he won with apparent ease. Sum- mer, an 8-pounder, made all the running, but tired the last furlong, losing the place to Alicla. The start was a very ragged one, Midian being left. In the mile and a quarter event Dai F, the 8 to 5 favorite, made short wo:‘ of her company. Potente made ali the running for a mile when Jenkins gave the first choice her head and she won hands down.
