Mr.. John w. Kirk, the white haired
veteran who was with Morse when the
first working telegraph line was stretch
ed, and who stood beside the great in
ventor when the first message was trans
mitted from Annapolis Junction TO
Washington, has made during his life a
great many interesting calculations In
numbers. The two most remarkable
numbers in the world are and 4.
1.-THE number T." says Mr.. Kirk, "the
Arabians got from India, and all fol-
lowing have taken 1t from the Ara
bians. It is conspicuous in Biblical lore,
being mentioned over 300 times in the
Scriptures, either alone or compounded
with other words. II seems favorite
numeral with the divine mind, outside
as well as inside the Bible, as nature
demonstrates in many ways, and all the
other numerals bow to it. There is also
another divine favorite, the number
0, the trinity, This is brought out by
combination Of figures that is some
what remarkable. 1t is the six figures,

"Multiply this by 9, the answer is
2s5, 7i4. 49,. IA.
Multiply this by 8, the answer is
42s, ST..
Multiply this by 4, the answer is

Multiply this by 8, the answer is

Multiply this by Q, the answer Ia

/ Each answer contains the same fig
ures as the original sum, and no Others,
and three of the figures of the sum re-
main together in each answer, thus show.
ing that figures preserve the trinity.
4 '"Thus 2S5 appears in the first and sec
ond numbers, 571 in the second and third,
1928 in the third and fourth, and lac in
the fourth and fifth.
at is also interesting to note that tax.
ing out of any two Of these sums the
group of three common to both, the other
three, read in the usual order, from left
to right, will also be in the same order in
both sums.
Take the first and second sums, fol-
example. The group Of 2S5 is common
to both. Having read 2S5 out Of the
second sum, read right along and bring
in the first figure of the thousands last
| 1t will read TIA All the others will read
in the same way.
again, note that the two groups o.
three in the first sum are the same as tn,
two groups Of three In the fourth re
versed in order, and that the same thing
. is true of the second and third. The las
, multiplication has its groups of three
the same as those Of the original number
reversed again.
Examine these results again, and 20,
will see that In these calculations all tn
numerals have appeared save tho 0. Nov
