Letters ana Numbers.

The Greeks used the letters OF the
alphabet for numerals. The cumber.
some system used by the Romans, and
called after them, consisted of strokes
N-II-III-IIID to indicate the four
fingers, and two strokes joined (V) to
represent the hand, or five fingers.
Ten was picture of two hands, or two
VS. (X). But when the Romans and
Greeks worked at the higher mathe.
MATES or attempted hard sums in arith-
metic, they are much more likely to
have used letters, in order to avoid the
clumsiness of these numerals; in other
words, they used what looked like a
kind Of algebra. We know that they
tried to simplify the Roman numerals
at Rome by making four and nine with
three strokes instead of four, by plac-
ing an ! before the V and an l before
the X Nv and Ky.
Our use of the numerals which We
call arabic is comparatively recent,
and it is believed that the Arabs got
these numbers from India several CEN
turtles after the Koran was written, or
about eight hundred years after Christ.
Whether the Indian numerals were
originally part of some ancient alphabet
or series of shortened signs originally
somewhat like the Roman numerals
that we still use. is not really decided.
The numbers used by the peoples of
India who wrote in Sanskrit were very
like the figures 1. 2, 8, 4, 8, 6. z, 8, 8.
and O, that we use to-day. Even closer
resemblances will be found If one goes
back to the earliest forms of our
numerals; for, during the last thousand
years, our numbers have undergone
some slight changes. Together with
these numerals. the Arabs learned from
India how to do sums in algebra. For
algebra, though an Arabic word. is a
science of which the Arabs were ignor-
ant before they reached India.
1t may be said that the invention OF
these numerals and of algebra for the
higher mathematics starps the old
H.ndoos rs one of the most wonderful
races of the world. .St. Nicholas.

The City Park.

The fence of the City Park along
Ervay street is being moved back so
as to make o handsome and convenient
sidewalk in front of it. This will be
great benefit, and will help to beautify
the park. Work is constantly going
on, on the grounds, and by next
spring, when all the flowers are bud
ding and blooming and the choice
shrubbery is green, and the emerald
of the full leaves of the trees form
canopy overhead these park grounds
will be 100 per cent faircr to look upon
and more inviting in every way.
