The month of February, 1866, was in one respect the most remarkable in the world's history. It had no full moon. January had two full moons and so had March, but February had none. Do you realise what a rare thing in nature that was ? It had not occurred since the creation of the world. And it will not occur again, according to the computation of astronomers, for—how long do you think ! —2,500,000 years. Was not that truly a wonderful month ?
