Division of a Fraction by a Fraction.

In a communication by J. {. Wen.
ner in the COLUMBIAN of several weeks
ago, the statement is made that "to
divide fraction by fraction, for ex.
ample, ! by ?, the rule says, invert
the divisor &c, without giving the
why's and wherefores. For example:
I is contained in I, Z times, &C."
On reading the assertion that 81 is
contained in T, Z times" | asked my
self the question whether it is possible
for a number 10 be contained in
another smaller than itself, and after
taking objects, also making diagrams
upon the blackboard, to see whether,
if true, 1t could be explained to child
rem, came to the conclusion that a
number is not contained in another
smaller than itself, and that to try to
make children believe it is much like
trying to make them believe that the
moon is made of green cheese. 1t
does seem not reasonable.
But what does + divided by
7 7 mean2 Z being larger than T can.
not be contained in it. May it mean
3 are what part of ~ This, seemed
to me to be the meaning, and if this
is correct, then the divisor is the
measure with which the dividend is to
be compared. Taking this view of it,
the problem may be solved in the fol-
lowing manner: Comparing z with 7,
the relation is that of 2 to 3; compar-
ing it with +, it is that of 8 Ito 3 and
comparing 1t with 7, it is that of 8 10
9, or eight-ninths. This is the result also
obtained by the inversion of the di-
visor, &c.
1t may also be explained by reduc-
ing the fraction to the same denomi-
nator and comparing their numerators,
thus eight-twelfths by nine-twelfths
equals eight-ninths. The dividend
contains of the 9 parts of the divisor.
To say that I is contained in {, Z
times is as meaningless as it would be
to say is contained in I, ] times. 1t
is true that is J of 2, but how is
contained in /? X.

" THE LAND OF FLOWERS"
Last Personally Conducted Tour Of the

If the general sentiment concerning
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company S
personally conducted tours to Florida
Is to be taken as an index of their
popularity, they may in all verify be
styled the ideal tours.
The next and last of this seasons
series of tours to Jacksonville will
leave New York and Philadelphia on
March GO, and the rate, including
round-trip transportation and meals
and Pullman berth on special train
going, is $1,000 from New York and
$500 from Philadelphia ; proportion
ate rates from other points. Tickets
for this tour will be good for return
passage on regular trains until May 81.
The number of persons for which
accommodations can be provided is
necessarily limited, and it would there
fore be prudent for those who desire

plication for space.

The, "Parson" Too Slick for Them.

"Just extend me the courtesy of a
small loan, and you'll have the first
chance to bid for our new church con
struction contract" was the alluring
bait with which a bogus clergyman,
under the name of Charles Rawson,
swindled several Philadelphia contrac-
tors and builders. He got from them
sums ranging from SIS to $25 each.
Complaint has been made to the
Thirtieth district police.
The clerical swindler is described
as a man about IS years old, rather
small of stature, with dark hair slight
ly streaked with gray. He gave the
name of "Charles Rawson" in several
instances.

A glance at the above table shows a
striking agreement between the Mead.
vile sample and pure butter and a
wide difference between it and either
of the artificial products named.
The most distinctive and infallible
test for artificial butter and adultera-
tions is the contents of volatile fatty
acids, which while varying widely in
pure butter when made from individ
ual COWS or under special conditions
OF feed, etc, appears to be fairly con-
slant for the pure commercial producl
made under average conditions. The
range under these circumstances may
perhaps be safely placed at from 20 to
28. 1t will be seen that the Meadvllle
sample occupies an intermediate posi-,
ton, standing at a5.6, while CONNER
clal butterlne has maximum con-
tents of only SO, and oleomalgarine 2.
The next most reliable test is the
saponifcation equivalent, which has a
range in pure butter of of 236. 5-26o.7 7.
The sample in question comes within
the range, standing at s56.7, which is
too low for either of the artificial ma
terials which stand at from s74 400.
In melting point and per cent, of
curd the suspected sample also agrees
with butter.
The natural conclusion is that Mr..
Palm either willfully and knowingly
made misstatement of the facts to
influence pending legislation restrict
ing the sale of artificial butter in

HARRISBURG, PA, March IL, 1895.
ED. COLUMBIAN"
DEAR SIR: / noticed in the
issue of the COLUMBIAN " of March
9Th, an article headed Counterfeit
Butter"
1t was Editor Palm who was fooled
or was making misstatements, as is
shown by the enclosed article from
Prof. H. J. Waters, of the State Col.
lege, which was printed in some of the
leading papers.
II the present oleomargarine law is
repealed it will be but a few years un-
til we will have a monopoly equal to
the standard oil company, while the
great dairy interests Of the state will
be practically wiped out. 1t seems to
me that the people of Pennsylvania
cannot afford to do this and | hope
the press of the country will stand by
our dairy interests.
Yours &c,
VIM. T. GREASY.
The following is the article referred
to by Mr.. Greasy
AT the last annual meeting of the
Pennsylvania State Dairymens Asso-
clation, held at Meadvile, Feb. 9th,
7th and 8th, a committee, composed
of Hon. John e. McClintock, of
Meadvllle, a prominent breeder of
Jersey cattle, and the manufacturer of
the butter securing the highest aver
age score for the season from Pennsyl-
vanla at the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position; A. l.. Wales, Cory, a
prominent and experienced creamery
man, and H. J. Waters, State College
Professor of Agriculture in the
Pennsylvania State College, was ap.
pointed to judge the butter on exhibit
ton, and award prizes according to
the rules Of the Association.
After the Committee had made its
report the packages removed by the
exhibitors and the Association had ad-
journed, Mr. A. J. Palm, editor OF the
Meadcille Messenger, who had enter
ed butter in the FIVE and one pound
classes in the name of local dairy
man to which had been awarded Sc
cond and third prizes respectively,
reported to the daily press, the Asso-
clated and United Press Associations,
that his entries were bogus and that
the samples entered were 6utterjne
procured from Chicago for this
purpose
The writer Immediately telegraphed
Secretary St. John for a sample of the
butter whose genulneness had been
questioned. MIR, Palm, the perpetra-
tor of the fake, claimed to have re-
tanned the original packages awarded
prizes and furnished a sample, which
was forwarded TO the Experiment
Station by express under seal. Care.

completed with the following results

Jersey Justice.

AS exemplifying the necessity for
universal education under our pecu-
liar form of popular government, we
find the recent case of New Jersey
sheriff, who, being unable to read
writing failed to obey the mandate OF
the court and in consequence got
himself in jail. Popular government
upon the one hand, and illiteracy
upon the other may thus prove to be
not only incompatible, but also to
jeopardlze and to temporarily thwart
justice. Jersey justice may seem a
little eXactlng when it thus makes an
ignorant sheriff put himself in jail and
turn the key. But there is no doubt
of the fact that he could have hired a
Philadelphia lawyer to decipher the
judges writing in case nobody in
Jersey could make out his mandate.
1t is to be hoped the sheriff will yet
be allowed to unlock the door from
the inside and let himself out.
