There are a thousand Londons those found In Llmehouse, Rotton row, Bloomsbury, Cheapslde, Petticoat lane, the Strand, West end, Leicester square, Whitechapel one could go on endlessly Just writing the names of the streets and neighborhoods In London that have been made famous by an army of poets and novelists. But merely because London Is so vast, endless and varied, only the outstanding lights of that fascinating city can be described In tbese short articles.

The reason for the extra day In the month and the extra day in the year la connected with some tinkering with the calendar by several men away back In ancient times The first one to do it wag the Roman Calua Julius Caesar, who in 46 B. Q established a calendar on the basis of each solar year consisting of 8G5 days and six hours But h rather than bother with the of a day each year, the six hours were saved up and a whole day added to every fourth year which was to be known as a leap year," when, presumably, time leaped ahead one day. This calendar waa defective, for the solar year actually consists of 805 days, five hours and 49 minutes, therefore Caesar's calendar was gaining 11 minutes on old Father Time every year. Bo Augustus Cneiar, Julius' successor, tried hla hand at tljiltering with the calendar and ordered that there be no leap year for 12 years. Next the Pontiffs took a hand In the matter by Inserting an extra day every third year instead of every fourth year and by the year 8 B.
