We tick off the days and months with a bhie pencil, but the ancients used to calculate by the moon, It is sald that Noah used the early Egyptian calendar of a five-month year, thirty days to.the month, and each month three weeks of ten daye, Sticks, tied in bundles, was the in- variable way of telling the day and Season with the greater part of the anclent world, and even to-day some American Indians keep five bunldes of thirty eticks, pulling out one stick for each day. The last bundle is repeated In each halt year to level things up, and the middle bundle is spit in two to. judge. the. approach of mid-summer or mid-winter, as the case may be. In the South Sea Islands the "moon stick" Is used to determine the sea- sons. A notch is cut in the stick after each passing moon. Far-off Borneo uses a picturesque calendar consisting of various lengths of tattooed poles. The Dyaks have a custom whereby they tell the season by the length of the sun's shadow, Calendar makers tour the country in the season of sowing and plant these colored poles on the various farms.

'Invariably : this shadow marking proves remarkably accurate and suecessful, and at the due time the calendar maker makes another tour of the farms to receive his payment of part of the crop. Some Kgyptologists claim that the famous Sphinx is nothing more than an astronomical device for telling the eeasons.
