The division of Time.

The division of time into hours was
practiced among the Babylonians from
remote antiquity, but it was Hipparchus,
the philosopher, who introduced the
Babylonian hour into Europe The sex
agesi1nal system Of notation was chosen
by that ancient people because there is
no number having so many divisions as
sixty. The Babylonians divided the
daily journey Of the sun. the ruler Of the
day. into twenty-four parasangs. Each
parasang or hour was subdivided into
sixty minutes, and that again into sixty
seconds. They compared the progress
made by the sun during one hour at the
time Of the equinox TO the progress
made by good walker IN the same
period Of time, both covering one para
sang, and the course Of the sun during
the full equinoctial day was fixed at
twenty-four asangs.-London Tit
