The Oldest Mathematical Treatise.

The Oldest mathematical book in the
world, says All the World Round, is be-
ieved to be the "Papyrus Rhind" in the
British museum, professed to have been
written b. Ahmes, scribe of King Ra-a-us,
about the period between 1000 and 1,70o
b. c. This ''Papyrus Rhind" was trans
lated by Eisenlohr, of Leipsic, a few years
ago, and it was found to contain a rule for
making square equal in area to a given
circle. Il was not put forth as an original
discovery, but as the transcript of trea-
tise 500 years older still, which sends us back
to, approximately, 800 B. c., when Egyp-
tian mat nematicians solved, or thought
they solved. the problem of squaring the
circle

WEATHER FORECASTS.

Primitive Portents That Are as True
Now as in virgil's Time.
At the beginning of the Christian era,
and before that time the signs of the
heavens and the behavior of animals and
birds were noted with reference to changes
of weather. If we read Virgil we shall
find numerous references to these portents.
and the translation usually quoted will
furnish us with information which must
be as true nowadays as it was in Virgils
time, for Wild animals do not change their
habits. Speaking of wet weather in the
Georges, The poet wrote
The wary crane foresees 1t first, and sails
Above the storm, and leaves the hollow wales;
The COW looks up and from afar can find
The change OF heaven, and shifts it in the
wind;
The swallow skins the rivers watery face.
The frogs renew the croaks of their loouacious
race:
The careful ant her secret cell forsakes
And draws her eggs along the narrow tracks.
Huge tiocks of rising rocks forsake their food.
And, crying. seek the shelter of the wood
The owls, that mark the setting sun, declare
A starlight evening and a morning fair.
We might quote further selections re-
speeding the signs in the heaven and earth
mentioned, but the foregoing verses will
be sufficient to illustrate our position. and
to show Us that weather forecasting is, at
any rate, as old as the Christian era. The
moon is generally supposed to influence
the weather-a Saturdays moon" being
particularly Objectionable, or when she IN
pears anew at some hours after midnight
thus:
When frs the moon appears, if then she
shrouis
Her silver crescent, tipped with sable clouds.
Conclude she bodies tempest on the main,
And brews for fields impetuous floods of rain.
For generations, as today, a red sky fore
tells fine weather; a yellow sky changing
into green means rain, or rain and wind:
on the other hand, when the red rays ap-
pear, we may anticipate fine weather, as
the atmosphere is becoming less and less
moist.
A low dawn is known as good sign;
so when the first rays appear at or near
the horizon we may anticipate fine day,
as we may when the morning is gray.
Evening red and morning gray
are almost unfailing tokens of fine weather

Maine, happened to stop at little
house hanging from the side of a
rocky hill, which constituted tho
farm During his stay he made
many cutting criticisms upon the
character of the soil, and asked the
farmer why he did not go West,
where the land was so rich that you
could thrust your arm into it up to
your shoulder and pull from the
bottom dirt as rich as guano.

"and where may such lands be!"

the reply, which is in Blank town

Fell Through a Bridge.

Huntingdon Gio6s:-Howard Var
nell, aged 80 years, of near Barree,
WAS drowned in the JunIata river on
Saturday afternoon while returning
to his home IN company with his
father. The county bridge at Barree
which was swept away by the June
flood of 1889. has never bsen rebuilt,
and since then pedestrians have been
obliged to use the Diamond Valley
railroad bridge. The stream at this
point is particularly turbulent and
deep, and at the present time greatly
swollen by the melting snow on the
mountains on either side of it. Mr.
Yarnell was walking 4 little in ad-
vancs of his son on foot boards at
the side of the bridge Howard, the
son, amused himself by walking on
the stringer which support the rails.
He was admonished by his father to
take to the foot boards, but he kept
walking on the perilous stringer,
which was made doubly dangerous
by its thin coating of ice. Suddenly
his feet slipped and he fell through
the bridge to the water below, a dis
tance of fifteen feet. He quickly
rose to the surface and battled brave
ly for his life, but the swift current
carried him rapidly down and he per-
rished bafore help could be extended.
His body wos recovered few hours
aftervard and removed to his home.
He leaves wife and several children.
Laterly he had been working in the
vicinity of NcConnellstown as q
teamster.
