Of the Y. T. s. G. e. Of this city while
here and a full and interesting program
has been mapped out, with some able
speakers from abroad.
Fred nj. Weimer had q hearing before
Justice Jones this afternoon on a charge
OF grand larceny brought by the VIM.
Deering Co. 1t was charged that he
had taken property in charge of an
officer under attachment, but he proved
TO the satisfaction of The justice that
the stock broke away of it's own accord
and came back. He was discharged but
Immediately rearrested on n similar
charge.
Rev. j. Y. Ewart, who has so success
fully and satisfactorily filed the pulpit
OF the Presbyterian church of this city
for nearly four years, at the close OF his
sermon yesterday morning rendered his
resignation to the congregation to take
effect December /. Mr.. Ewart has had
several calls to other churches of late
and has accepted one from a church in
southeastern Kansas. The resignation
was a surprise to the congregation and
was heard with much regret AS Mr.,
Ewart has been a successful church
worker and az able preacher. A con-
gregational meeting will be held Tues
day evening to take action ON the resig-
nation and will doubtless result in the
congregation uniting with him in re-
questing the Presbytery TO dissolve the
pastoral relation which exists between
them.
The county commissioners commend
ed the anyas OF the returns of the re
cent election this afternoon and o
run foul OF a snag. The tally sheets are
made up OF two sections each-one for
state officers and one for county officers.
One sheet each OF state and county
should be locked up in the ballot box
and the other two returned to the coun-
ty commissioners from which to canvass
the vote. When the latter for the town
OF Chester, the first ~canvassed, came to
be opened, the two sheets with the re-
turns Of state officers were found and
none with returns for county officers. II
is o question whether the commissioners
a open q ballot box to get one of the
other sheets without an order from
Judge Jones and tins will occasion some
delay. The board proceeded to canvass
the rest of the returns but may find
other snags before they get through.

In the course Of conversation with the

Greek Hunlor.

When, after Salamis, Xerxes was in
full fight for Asia. and the overcrowd,
ed vessel, so the story ran, was laborina
in the storm, Xerxes, getting frightened,
asked the captain whether there was
any chance of safety. None, " said the
captain, unless the ship is lightened
of some of its passengers" Whereupon
Xerxes, t1rning to the P~ersians, Q
claimed, Now is the time to show your
loyalty to your king, for on you my
safety depends. And without a word
the well trained courtiers made obei-
ancea and leaped into the sea.
Thus unburdened, the ship arrived at
the land, ~whereupon Xerxes presented
the captain with a golden crown for
having saved the kings life, and then
ordered his head of for having caused
the death Of SO many noble Persians.-

Origin Of the Mathematical Signs.

The sign of addition is derived
from the initial letter of the word
"plus. In making the capital letter
it was made more and more careless
ly until the top part of the ''p'' was
placed near the center, hence the
plus sign was finally reached.
The sign of subtraction was de-
rived from the word minus" The
word was first contracted into mus,
with a horizontal line above to indi-
cate the contraction, which was a
printers freak that may be found in
almost any book bearing date ear
her than the beginning of the eight
zenith century. After the lapse of a
long period of time the letters were
omitted altogether, leaving only the
short line so well known to all,
thus -.
The multiplication sign was OBJ
tanned by changing the plus sign into
a character resembling the letter K.
This was done simply because multi
plication is but shorter form of adj
dition.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above a hori-
zontal line and the divisor below. In
order to save space in printing, the
dividend was placed to the left and
the divisor to the right, with a SIM
pie dot in place of each.
The radical sign was derived from
the initial letter of the word "radix."
The sign of equality is said to have
first been used in the year 1857 by
sharp mathematician, who adopted it
as a substitute for the words equal
to. st. Louis Republic.

while l was up there on an expedi-
ton a few years ago / embraced an
opportunity to gather and examine
some of this red snow. 1t occurred
in patches and existed only on the
surface. An inch below the snow
was as pure white as that found
anywhere. The color was not uni.
form, even on the surface, but oc-
Cured in streaks. On closer exam
nation it was found to exist in the
little crystals of snow which com.
posed its surface. When the snow
was melted, it formed a bright red
liquid, and in standing a short time
the coloring matter gradually settled
to the bottom as deep red sedi-
ment, which under the microscope
