Origin of Mathematical Signs.

The sign of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the word aplus. 5"
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more carelessly until
the top part of the "p" was finally
placed near the center, hence the plus
sign, as we know it, was gradually
reached.
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word
was first contracted in m, n, S, with a
horizontal line above to indicate that
some of the letters had been left out.
At last the letters were omitted alto
gether, leaving only the short line.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sig gn into the let
ter <. This was done because multi
plication IS but shorter form of addi-
ton.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above horizon
tai line and the diyisor below. In or
der to save space in printing, the divi-
dend was placed to the left and the di-
visor to the right. After years of "ev-
olution," the two DIS were omitted alto
gether, and simple dots set in the
place of each. As with the others, the
radical sign was derived from the ini-
tial letter of the word "radix."
The sign of equality was first used
in the year 1857 by sharp mathema-
tician, who substituted it to avoid fire.

HOW AN EDITOR CREW Rich.
John Brisban Walkers Shrewd Real
Estate Investments.

John Brisban Walker, proprietor of
the Cosmopolitan Magazine, has re-
Gently sold to the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad company for 81, 2,500,-
600 piece of land in Denver, Col, for
which he paid, less than ten yers ago.
the sum of 81, 800. I fancy this is the
most most wonderful rise in the value
of real estate that has ever occurred
in this country, says writer in the
Washington Star. What wonderful
luck! suppose many readers will ex-
claim. AS usual, with successful men,
there was no luck about it at all. Mr..
Walker was possessed of the ability
to see the value of this property before
any one else saw it-that is all. When
he bought it the territory was de-
tached piece of land in front of the
city, with a river channel between it
and the land laid out as streets. Mr..
Walker built causeway to connect
his purchase with the mainland, which
cost him something, but not very
much. The company was compelled
to purchase this tract. 1t could not
get along without it.
Other real estate investments in and
about Denver has netted Mr.. Walker
above 100000 more, so that his total
wealth is now reckoned at So, 900, 900.
This is good amount of wealth to be
gained in legitimate ways by a COM
| paratively young man, who thirteen
years ago was publishing small
weekly newspaper in Washington, and
was by no means rich man.
Did you ever hear of the Washing
| ton Repu6lic? When Mr.. Walker
started it, it was a little eight-page
paper. 1t was issued from the rooms
that are now the editorial Offices of the
/ Washington E0ening Star. Walker
soon found that he would never make
his fortune as newspaper publisher
in Washington, and he sold his paper
to the late II. j. Ramsdell, who made
| the Republic a readable Blaine organ
for a number of years. Gail Hamil-
ton wrote for it during Ramsdell's
editorship. It was bright, entertain
ing, and had snug little circulation.
Now it is back in the eight-page form
and is the property of Mr.. Darby, the
well-known Washington printer.
Walkers ten strike did not cure him
| of the editorial fever. On the con-
trary, the first thing he did when he
got plenty of funds in the bank to GO
| to New York and buy the Cosmopolitan.
Under his management it is bound to
win, because he has money enough to
make it go. Brains enough, too, it is
needless to say. The man who could
see millions in strip of apparently
worthless land at the river-edge OF
Denver does not need Mr.. Howells OF
anybody else to edit a magazine fol
him. He is a man of ideas, with fine
imagination and clear perception.

PEOPLE WHO LIVE LONG.
Occupations That Seem to Affect Length
of Life.

@What occupation tends most to pro-
long lifeP" was asked the chief mathe-
matician for one of the great life in
surance companies, says the Washing
ton Star.
THAT is difficult question" he re-
piled. Il can only answer it by refer
| ring to the occupation of persons
| whose lives are and have been insured
by US. Inasmuch as they number sew
eral hundreds of thousands they will
afford pretty good basis from which
| to draw conclusions on the subject.
According to this evidence it appears
that commercial travellers and agents
live longer than men in any other kind
of business, Notwithstanding the haz-
ards which attend transportation by
rail and water. Next to them come
dentists, teachers and professors, in
Guiding music teachers"
| "And who after tbem?"
"Next to them in longevity are hat
ters, clergymen and missionaries. The
last may occasionally furnish food for
the larder of untutored savages, but
they are first-rate risk nevertheless.
Next come bankers and capitalists,
who seem to live just tride longer
iLuStu anu udTk0Gn0u. II. LdW-
yers and jewellers follow, and they are
succeeded on the list by merchants,
lpeddlers, milkmen and pawnbrokers.
Then come gardeners, laborers, civil
lengineers and canvassers. Perhaps
the treatment which canvassers are
apt to receive in the ordinary course
of their business shortens their lives.
"Where do newspaper men come
IMP"
"Oh, they don't live so long as any
of the people have mentioned. Even
bookkeepers and bank cashiers, as
well as artists and architects, are
ahead of them. They come in next
with the printers, physicians and gen.
tlemen who are not engaged in any
active employment. Then follow the
apothecaries and photographers, and
after them in order bakers, cigarmak-
ers and real estate agents, army Off
GERS and soldiers, liquor dealers, ma
rine and naval officers. Shortest lived
of all seem to be the auctioneers,
clearinghouse keepers, BARRIERS and
drivers"
"Do you take into consideration the
question of q customers occupation in
granting policy?"
"Not unless it is more hazardous
than any of those I have mentioned,
though if we were in doubt about ac-
cepting the man as risk for other
reasons, such point might turn the
| scale"

A MONTE CARLO INCIDENT.
Utilized His Revolver to Make a Stake
Instead of a Corpse.

At Monte Carlo a few days ago twas
witness of the following peculiar Incl
dent: l was seated at table in the
cafe of the Paris hotel, which adjoins
the Casino, with group of tourists
when a haggard and disheveled
Frenchman entered hurriedly, called
for glass of absinthe, and, seating
himself, proceeded to write vigorously
on sheet of note paper in front of
him. My attention was attracted by
his appearance and evident nervous
ness, and my interest was deepened
when I saw him take from his pocket
a gold-plated revolver. He examined
the weapon very carefully, as though
he contemplated using it, and wanted
to see that it was in proper order, then
hastily put it back in his pocket and
resumed his writing.
By this time the attention of the
whole group had been attracted to the
man, especially as they saw him re-
move the revolver from his pocket
and toy with it nervously. A stout,
forid Englishman sat near me. He
leaned over and whispered to me: "My
deah fellah, the chap means to do away
with himself, I take it." Then, before
I could reply, he quickly turned to the
Frenchman and said: "You wish to
sell that weapon, sir?"
The Frenchman drew back in as
tonishment. He gazed in amazement
at the Englishman and hesitated as if
he had been insulted. Then there ap-
parently ensued revulsion of feeling,
for smile overspread his haggard
face as he exclaimed, with shrug of
the shoulders: eff you wish, sir"
He placed the revolver mechanically
upon the table and picked up the gold
pieces laid down by the Englishman.
Then he drank his absinthe with SEEM
ing satisfaction. He frightened up.
His entire manner underwent a change.
A few minutes later he walked leisure
ly out of the cafe and we saw him
again enter the Casino. The English
man and myself concluded to follow
him. We were surprised to find on
entering that luck was evidently with
him, for small pile of gold and silver
lay before him on the roulette table.
We learned later from one of the at
tendants that he had won 1,200 francs.

Harrison and the Newsboy.

When President Harrison passed
through Philadelphia some weeks ago,
the carriage in which he was being
rapidly conveyed down Market street
to the ferry was temporarily delayed
at Ninth street. A newsboy called to
the railroad official accompanying the
chief magistrate:
mister, give US a rider"
"Where are you going?" asked Har-
rison.
Camden" was the reply.
"We are going to the Della ware
river" said the president, sand you
may get in if it is on your way"
The newsboy leaped eagerly inside
with his stock, and when the ferry was
reached presented the distinguished
grandson of his grandfather with one
of his papers as mark of gratitude,
the gift being accepted with grateful
acknowledgments.--PhlladeLo ohia Press.
