Division Of a Fraction.
Editor COLUMBIAN,

Editor COLUMBIAN,
SIR: | have noticed in your paper
several communications in regard
to the division of fractions. The
example given is, divide Z by Z and
the answer is eight-ninth. The as
sertion that follows that the value OF
the fraction is increased-thisi is an
error. For instance divide one by
two-In my opinion the answer
would be is contained in J times,
the value diminished Z is contained Z
eight-ninth times and has nothing to
do with the value. If you take frac-
tions of the same demonstrative you
can divide without any invertion
S-8=I-that is Z is contained Z :
one time. No one will say that il
you divide 9 by 8 the value is in
creased because 3 is contained in O.
3 tlmes-and no increase of value.
think no one has ever given the
reason Of the rule for division o
fractions. X Y. L.

These are no doubt very gloomy
days for Democracy, and the party Is
sure to lose many of its later recruits
and all of the camp. followers who
only worship at the shrine Of success.
But there Is a solid body Of believers
left whose faith in Jeffersonlan princi-
pies is the malnstay of the Republic.
There need, therefore, be no fear
that the Democratic party will fail as
long as the Republic lasts. If there
were no Democracy tomorrow there
would be the day after. Its opponents
would recreatc it, their principles and
practices are so obnoxious to free and
stable government.-Phila. Record
