HOURS AND MINUTES. s.-Why is our hour
divided into sixty minutes? Why not
divide our time as we do our money. by
tens, counting ten, or fifty, or one hundred
minutes to the hour This question was
asked by an intelligent boy few days
since, and the answer given him may both
interest and instruct other young people.
The answer is this +: We have sixty divi-
sions on the dials of our clocks and watches,
because the old Greek astronomer, Hippar-
chus, who lived in the second century be-
fore Christ, accepted the Babylonian sys-
TEN Of reckoning time, that system being
sexigesimal. The Babylonians were ac-
quainted with the decimal system, bat for
common and practical purposes they count
ed by sossi and sari, the sossoi representing
sixty, and the saros sixty times sixty,
5000. From Hipparchus, the mode Of
reckoning found its way into the works of
Ptolemy, about l2O a. D., and thence was
carried down the stream of science and
civilization, and found its way to the dial.

n1sGl.ACED CLUES.
No explanation has yet been offered as to
the disgraceful action Of the Chicago and
Troy Clubs in playing 4 game of bali III
Troy last Monday, the day when all sports
and amusements were suspended throug gllout
America out of respect to President Gar
fields funeral It Twill be difficult, indeed, to
offer all adequate explanation or defense
Granting that it was, rs claimed, an
oversight OH the part Of Mr.. Hubert,
alike President of the Chicago Club
and of the League, who was in Boston
the day the game was played in Troy-it was
All oversight to be ashamed Of. An over
light Of equal gravity in reference to 4 mat
ter Of private business, or OF Importance to
the Interests Of the League or the Chicago
Club, would not be excused, and the over
sight OF failing to forbid the desccration of
last Monday by the Troy and Chicago Clubs
is, to say the least, equally inexcusable-
Telegraph wires are easily touched
nowadays, and that game could and
is no defense to say that the
game would be forfeited by the
club refusing to play, or that refusal to play
would have subjected the club to the penalty
OF forfeiture Of its membership in the
League Granted that both results might
AV4AONs " AAL VI Az 1AC Slt1ENEU NANU
could we'll afford to forfeit the game-pro-
ylded Troy could afford to claim it; and ClIi-
cago could well afford to forfeit lis League
membership p-proylded the League could at
ford Ia declare the forfeiture under all the cir
cumstlnccS. So that the question OF penalty
and forfeiture cuts no figure in the
case-there would have been, could not
llave been, either penalty or forfeiture.
1t was undoubtedly the duty Of the Troy
management TO have proposed postponement,
hui, whether this was proposed or not, it
was the duty OF Manager Anson to have re-
fused to play the game that day. Had lie
done SO ne wuull have been sustained by
Tue club, by the League, and by the good
opinion OF the entire country.
1t seems that still another League Club dis
gsaced Itself i'll similar manner-far worse,
indeed, for i'll the second instance it WAS q
lon-League game, and, moreover, it was the
League club which refused to postpone, al
though urged to do So On this subject the
veteran base-bal1 writer, Mr.. Henry Chad
wick, addressed the following letter to the
cleveland Herald:
NEW Y01sK, Sept @.-My attention was this ]
morning called to the action taken by the
