WEALTH---C0MFORT
HAPPINESS DOES NOT INCREASE
PRoPoRTioNATELY WITH RICHES.


Il goes without saying in this philo
sOphical age that a mans comfort does
not increase in the same ratio ag his
wealth. or diminish In proportion as his
purse Is depleted In those cases where the
individual becomes poorer. IL needs no
argument To prove that the possession Of
au income Of $40. 900 n year Is far from
Welding ten times as much comfort rs
does tho annual stipend Of 81. 900. 1t
Is not true. as some nave as
serted. that augmented possibilities
Of spending bring no increase of Gu
.oyment to the average man. unless in
those rare cases where the individual has
already so much that more is simply m
addition 10 a burden. An augment of "a.
pcr cent of the income OF a workingmar
puts II within his power to add matcri-
ally 10 the comfort Of his home; and the
fact that such a change in condition
would involve dissipation in many in
stances is no proof that the argument is
an unsound one II simply shows the
weak side Of human nature. which Is apt
to become unbalanced by a sudden
change. whether for good or for evil
IS MATHEMATICAL FoRs.
Very probably. however. it has not &C.
Cured to the reader to think II possible
that there is a well-deGned correlation Of
wealth with comfort. in the comparative
sense OF the terms. still less that the rela-
Iion between the two is capable of being
reduced to a mathematical form. rs one
can represent the ratio of two numbers by
forming them into n fraction. The an
nounccment OF the idea and that there is
such a connection would probably pro-
woke n laugh
And yet, at the risk Of exciting ridicule.
we venture the intimation that it may be
expressed by reference to Il logarithmic
scale In this way; THE comfort deriva
bic varies as the logarithm of the number
of dollars per week that forms the in
come. - Whether or not the formula
holds good for any particular case depends
chiefly on the temperament of the indi
vidual.: but TO some extent also on his
surroundings past and present The re
laiion referred to will be understood by
the non mathematical reader on a glance
at the following little table. giving the
first few numbers that IA be represented
