Such, for this year of grace 2889, is the history of one day in the life of the editor of the Earth Chronicle. And the history of that one day is the history of 365 days every year, except leap-years, and then of 366 days--for as yet no means has been found of increasing the length of the terrestrial year. Jules Verne. End of Project Gutenberg's In the Year 2889, by Jules Verne and Michel Verne
