Attempts to raise thc blue fox in captivity were mudc in the Eastern Maritime Pro- -vinccs in 1912, a number of the foxes having been imported from Alaska where blue fox farming had been carried on for some years.

A New Way Of Marking Time

(Charles Herbert Huestis)

Time flies. "It's a way time has," as Artemus Ward once acutely re- marked-

"Our life like a dream.

Our timedike a stream

Flows swiftly away; And (the fugitive mOIIIBYIf- THUS?

to stay.” we used to sing at Watch Night services and the thought had a profound influence upon our boy- lsh minds.

Time itself knows no division. but for practiral reasons we divide it up. The earth assists by dividins it into days and yea-rs as it rotates upon its axis and makes its long journey around the sun. The mm?“- too, helps by dividing it into m0nth5-—n0t exactly, but appfmflm‘ ately. Then man takes a hand and divides it into hours, and minutes. and seconds, and invents clocks and watches to mark the same. Of course these divisions on our clocks are really space and not time di- visions, for as every one knows in daily experience, hours and mimi- tes are not the same length.

“How slow ye move, ye

hours,

As ye were wac and weary;

It was na‘ sac ye glinted by

When I was wi‘ my dearie."

Bergson says the time measured by clocks. thc time of mathematic- ians, is really not time at all but a sort of “bastard space". In its place he puts duration, which he defines as “the continuous progresé of the past as it grows into the future and swells as it advances." Duration is the time we feel.

There is another time division which we have not yet noted, nam- ely, the week. which has establish- ed itself chiefly by the aid of re- ligion-. There is ‘no meteorological reason why time should be divided into sets of seven and more than into sets of five or of ten. How the week came into existence we do not know. iFhc Hebrews had it early in the Christian era the Ro- mans adopted it, not from the Jews only but also from the Pag-

WQBYY

except in the month of February. The new calender would make all the months like February. Moreov- f-‘r, except the Hebrews, no other great, race, with the possible exception of the ancient Babylonians, had a week of seven days. The early R0- mans worked seven days and W911i to market on the eighth. The Mb)!- an civilization had a Wvvk of five days so had some Nordic groups. so had China. The ancient Egyptians had a week of ten days. During ihe clawical per- iod the Greeks did not mlmt time by weeks. Periods of fuse. rather than of seven seem to have been most common before th~ Christian era. The five day week is a per- fect fit for the year "XCQpl. on Leap Year; but it doesn't fit thc human biological machine, and Stalin the» other day announced that it would be given up in Rus- sia.

It will be seen that the vast ma- jority of Gods children during the long ages of the past knew nothing of a seven day week moving cavea- ly through the year. Can we lm-l‘ agine primitive

man who made the week and gave its days their names. The proposed new calendar, how- ever, retains the seven day week and is careful not to interfere with the sacred associations of the Sab- bath and thc Lord's Day. Sunday will still be the first day of the

present drift of‘ thc date between March 22 and April 25. and will also fix Easter approximately at the date of the Resurrection of our Lord, according to Church his- torlans.

The proposed calender has four‘ excellent features. It will: (l) Keep the calender with the solar year. KEEP the seven day week as a true time unit.

in step (2)

(3)

Fix the week days to perpgi. ual dates. (4) Establish uniform months,

The new month is to be tucked in between June and July. and it

ans. It belonged to a. scheme o! naming the days after seven plan- etary deities: the Sun, Moon, Mars. Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and sat- um. No doubt the sanctity asso- ciated with the number seven had something to.do with it. Some mod cm physiologists are of the opin- ion that it is a biological cycle writ ten into the human constitution. I think there may be something in that idea.

The year on our calendars is now divided into 12 months of un- equal length. It is proposed to di- vide the year into 13 months of 28 days each. But 28 into 365 leav- es one over, and into 366 leaves two over. What is to be done with these days, for the earth refuses to sivw up and make the division even? It is proposed to meet the difficulty by making the 29th of December, or what would be that date in the new calender. an intercalary day to be called "Year Day“ The" when leap year comes the odd day will be placed at the end of June and be called “Peace Day" or “Leap Day" These days will be universal holidays.

The plan outlined above would seem to be so sensible that one can only wonder wlhy it was not adopted centuries ago. Some people however. do not like the plan, which I may say is to come before the League of Nations in the fall of this year for adoption or reject- ion. The reasons for objection are theological. The Seventh Day Ad-

is proposed to call it “S0l" after that luminary which is so much in evidence at that time of iiw year. So let us hope the new plan will be universally adopted and then we can scrap all our calend- ars and forget. “Thirty days hath September. April, June and November. . ." —1\"orthem Messenger

ventists are the most aggressive in opposition. 'I'he introduction of an intcrcaiary day will of course interrupt the regular sequence of the week. They hold that "the week ly cycle. ordained by the Creator at the beginning of time. has neve" been altered." The proposed calen- der, with its "skip day," they claim will "strike a death blow to Bible religion." 'I‘he Sunday School Tim- cs also. which cannot be accused of advcntist. or Jewish sympathies. in an editorial N/ltitied "Improving God's Law,“ under date Nov. 2, 1929 tells us that "God established the week of seven days," and pro- phesies dire judgments upon those who would interfere with its regu- lar march through the years and the centuries-

One finds it difficult to take such objections seriously. If God made the week, He did not make it a good fit. It does not fit the year or the month; some days are left over

with 695 in the preceding year. A few of the fox farms also engage in mixed fur farming, raising mis- cellaneous fur bearing animals addition to the foxes.
