For Example: To know on what day of the week July 4, 1918, fell, look in the table of years for 1918, and in a parallel line under July is figure 1, which directs to column 1 in which it will be seen that July 4 fell on Thursday. In leap years the month of February has 29 days. Church The Roman Catholic Days of obligation are: Jan. 1 (Circumcision of Christ); Ascension Day (forty days after Easter Sunday); Aug. 15 (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary); Nov. 1 (All Saints' Day; Dec. 8 (Immaculate Conception); Dec. 25 (Christmas), and all the Sundays of the year. The Roman Catholic canon law prescribes abstinence for every Friday of the year. Abstinence and fast together are to be observed on Ash Wednesday, the Wednesdays and Fridays of Lent (in the United States), the Ember Days, the Vigils of Pentecost, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the feast of All Saints, and the Nativity of Our Lord. The law of fast alone is prescribed for all the remaining days of Lent except Sundays. In the American Episcopal Church the days of fasting or abstinence to be observed, according to the Book of Common Prayer, are the forty days of Lent, the Ember Days, and all the Fridays of the Christian Era.

C. Fasts year except Christmas Day and the Epiphany. The three Rogation Days are days of Solemn Supplication. In the Greek Church the four principal fasts are those in Lent, the week succeeding Whitsuntide, the fortnight before the Assumption, and forty days before Christmas. Ember and Rogation Days are certain periods of the year devoted to prayer and fasting. Ember Days (twelve annually), about the beginning of the four seasons, are the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday after the first Sunday in Lent, in Spring; after the feast of the Pentecost (Whitsunday), Summer; after the festival of the Holy Cross, Sept. 14, Autumn, and after the festival of St. Lucia, Dec. 13, Winter, Ember Weeks are the weeks in which the Ember Days appear.

Rogation Days occur on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday immediately preceding Ascension Day. and in 1942 fall on May 11, 12, 13. Jewish Holidays, Festivals and Fasts The sun, which has a diameter of 864,100 miles, and is distant, on the average, 92,900,000 miles from the earth, is supposed to be about 111⁄2 times as dense as water. The light of the sun reaches the earth in 498.7 seconds, or somewhere more than 8 minutes. The average surface solar temperature has been estimated at 6,000 degrees, centigrade, equal to 10,832 degrees, Fahrenheit. But against this estimate is the fact that hydrogen and helium which astronomers guess abound on the sun, require a higher temperature before they emit brilliant lights. Harvard astronomers announced in May, 1937, that they had found a temperature drop of 1,500 degrees (centigrade) between the surface of the sun and its overlying atmosphere. Twilight on the spectroscope forms a continuous bright spectrum composed of all the colors of the rainbow, crossed by dark lines. This leads to the belief that most of the earthly elements-iron. copper, sodium, etc. are also in the sun, and are vaporized into light by intense heat, mingling with the so-called permanent gases such as hydrogen, oxygen and helium. 12.

Sun The radiating surface of the sun is called the photosphere, and just above it is the chromosphere. which is a kind of atmosphere in a constant state of agitation, as if stirred by spouting gases. The chromosphere is visible only during a total eclipse, and looks like a reddish layer with flaming prominences here and there. Above the chromosphere is the corona also visible only at the time of a total eclipse. Its pearly light surges as far, in places, as 1,000,000 miles or more. The corona, in the opinion of astronomers, probably always is visible at points outside the atmosphere of the earth. The composition of the corona is unknown. In the spectrum it is manifested by a green line, possibly due to an unidentified element. There may be an intimate connection between sun spots and the corona. Sun spots are dark, cloud-like regions from 500 to 50,000 miles in diameter which last from a day to a week, and increase in number in 11-year cycles. The sun sends out 400,000 times as much light as the moon, and 90 million times as much as the star Aldebaran. |
