Hours and Minutes.

Why is one hour divided into sixty
minutes? and each minute again into
sixty seconds? Why not divide our
time as we d. our money, by tens,
counting ten, or fifty, Or one hundred
minutes to an hour? This question
was asked by an intelligent boy =
few days since; and the answer CIV
en- may both interest and instruct 9th
er young peopls. The answer is this:
We have sixty divisions on the dials
Of our clocks and watches, because
the old Greek astronomer. Hipparchus
who lived in the second century be
fore Christ, accepted the Babyloniar
system Of reckoning time, that system
being sixigesimal. The Babylonians
we're acquainted with the decimal sys
tenn; but for common and practica
purposes, they counted by sossi and
sari. the sossos, representing sixty, and
the saros, sixty times sixty, is thirty
six hundred. From Hipparchus, that
mode Of reckoning found its way into
the works of Ptolemy, about $50 A
d., and hence was carried down tht
stream Of science and civilization. and
found the way to our dial plates Of oul
clocks and watches.

Sudden Death from an Electric

A serious illustration of the risks
attending electric shocks, even when
apparently slight, occurred recently
in New Haven, Conn. A gentleman
was induced to try a shock, 'jnst for
fun," from the machine of an Inherent
peddler of electricity. He turned
away, but had not gone far when he
was seen to stagger and fall. He was
picked up unconscious, and remained
so until he died, two days after. The
physicians pronounced it case Of ap-
