A FlGUat-ATlve ENTERTAINMENT.

respectable audience, in quality and numbers,
gathered last evening at 300 Broadway listen to an
exposition OF arithmetic by Professor II. Ernst
Arithmetic he said, originated with Abraham
during the descent OF the Jewish tribes the land
OF Egypt, as recorded by Josephus. In later days
the Hebrews, Greeks and Romans had separate
system OF enumeration OF their own. The Greeks,
always superior In art and science to their contem-
porares. employed characters represent figures OF
peculiar kind. They used the letters OF their alpha
bet having nine represent the units repre-
sent the tens and nine more to stand for the hundreds
Large numbers were expressed by combination. In
the thirteenth century the Arabs gave arithmetic
an impetus, and In 1924 the science approached its
present degree OF perfection, IN the discovery OF
printing. Its success eliminated with the vast and
important discoveries made IN the science OF algebra
which opened to this branch OF mathematics q
clearer field than 1t had ever before occupied
After continuing briefly to describe the growth OF
arithmetic. the Professor gave some practical Illus
tratons OF lightning system OF calculation which,
he said abrdges many OF the lengthy formula now
The Professors efforts not appreciated. He
stood constantly with his back TO the audience aud
mumbled his ex plantations with such feeble articua-
tion that knew what he was about. AS he
was considerably embarrassed, it Is charitable TO
presume that this was an oversight. His operations
very unsatisfactory to those who have even the
remotest confidence in that revered old heirloom
the multiplication table, ana his innovations did not
strike his auditors as possessing any merit that could
be named rapIdity. Passing from point TO au-
other the Professor did not gain any converts.

THE SUB-TREASU2Y.

IL was confidently expected by many who hun
gered and trsted for place that the substitution
Senator Foger for General Butterneld as Assistant
Treasurer would give them the long lookedfor oppor-
tunity to squeeze in as clerks and counters in the
marble building IN Wall street. Their expectations
however, have had no fulflment as yet, the new
Assistant Treasurer being disposed to take his own
lime IN the matter OF removals and appointments.
All the clerks and attaches who were
field are still at their posts and IL is not at all
probable that any changes Will be made for some
time to come. This however, does not pre-
vent numerous applicants from pressing their
claims. The same rules and regulations for the gov
eminent OF the Sub.Treasury and the proper dis
charge OF the duties devolvng upon the clerks
ordered by and III force under the late Assistant
Treasurer still prevail alteration whatever having
been made. Senator Folger In his ONCE during
