THE RULE OF FALSE.
Double position or the rule of false.
by which problems of this sort are
worked, ought to demolish the common
place about two wrongs not making a
right. Two wrongs do not make right,
4 h-ure-atively speaking, at all events.
Starting with two wilfully false mum
I bers, YOU work each out TO its natural
conclusion. Then, taking the sum OF
your inlquiiics as compared with the
falsehoods with which you started, You
have only to multiply them crosswise to
7 get terms which will bring you straight
[ to the truth. To be more precise after
the cross-multiplication, if the errors are
alike, that is, both greater, or both less
than the number you want, take their
difference for a divisor, and the differ
ence OF their product for dividend. II
unlike, take The SUN OF their products
for dividend. The quotent will be
the answer. This is good arithmetic,
and for those who can receive it, not bal
philosophy. There Is enormous sel-
righting power about error; and il we
could only manage the cross-mnltipli-
cation properly, we should get surpris-
ing results.

LOVE AND MATHEMATICS

Jodann August Mnseus, one of the
most popular German ory writers of
the last century, in his story of 'Libus-
sa,' makes the lady of Bohemia put
forth the following problem to her three
lovers, offering her hand and throne as
the prize for correct solution: Il have

fly around with him with such fearful
velocity that he appeared for a mo-

erty OF this figure (said 10 have been
discovered by w. Green, who died in
l79D is, that all through the multipli-
cation table the product Of nine comes
to nine. Multiply by what you like,
aud it gives the same result. Begin
with twice nine, Is; add the digits
together, and | and make 8. Three
times nine are 27; and and 7 are ..
So it goes on, up to eleven times nine,
which gives 30. Very good add the
digits f; 9 and . are Is, and and are
nine. Take couple instances at ran
dom. Three hundred and thirty-nine
times nine are 305l add up the figures
and they give nine. Five thousand
and seventy-one times nine are 1896;
the sum of these digits is 27; and ,
and are 8.
NJ. de Maivan found out another
queer thing about this number name
ly. that if you take any row of figures
and reversing their order, made a sub
traction sum of it, the total is sure to
be nine For example:
Take jO.l
Reverse thu figures I7ua
1nGequals ISL plus equals .
The same result is obtained if you
raise the numbers 50 changed To their
squares or cubes. Starting with 81,
begin tue sum over again. BY reycrs-
ing the digits, we get 20, which sub
tracted from - leaves 80. or 5 plus 6
equals ?. The squares Of 26 and 62
are respectfully, G76 and 1914. Sub
tract one frem the other, and you get
3l6o equals is, and plus $ equals 2.
I 50 with the cubes Of 26 and 62, which
are 1876 and 2is32s. Subtracted

Public Buildings, the Revenue Service, and
other matters within the province OF the
Treasury Department receive proper attention
from Mr. Boutwell, but little is said about
funding, and the substance Of what Is stated
under chat head is that we can dispose OF our
FIVE per cent bonds by paying the plr-
chaser a commission equal TO the dis-
count at which said bonds arc bought and
sold in tho market. This is true as the go9-

there is @ popular prejudice against such an
establishment, though there may be no valid
objection 10 IT,, other than that Of its cost.
In the statement Of transportation ex-
penses, the item Of si,100,0O0 for wagon costs
and charges will strike every one a. being
large. This Ia due 10 the increased demand
for onartermasterS and cOmmissary supplies
In distant parts Of the country, where there
are no railroads. The completion 0f railway
lines now under contract will reduce tbis ex-
pense materially. At present, military posts
in Arizona and some parts OF the Territories
north Of California are supplied with stores
bought in San Francisco, transported by sea,
and thence by wagons or pack trains, IN some
instances through Mexican territory, at
enormous expense. Railroad facilities will
hereafter change the market and the route OF
these supplies, at great saving TO the Govern
ment.
