ARITHMETIC NOVELTY.
what the Llebniiz and Duodenary Systems
Would DO.

Now, ten seems like a nice, round num-
Der, easy 10 multiply, divide, and in every
way convenient. But no, ten Is the
worst of all the numbers between one and
eighteen that could have been selected for
the base OF numeration. Most every ma
tion reckons by periods of ten. Did this
arise from necessity; was Ii occasioned by
any physical cause, or was IL merely the
effect OF chance? IL is not only probab BILE,
but might almost be proved, that this
system derives its origin from physical
conformation. All men have ten fingers;
a very few excepted, who by some lusus
naturae, have twelve. The first men be-
gan to.reckon on their fingers, and when
they had exhausted them by counting
this units, IL was necessary that they
should form first total, and again begin
TO count the same fingers until they had
exhausted them q second time, and SO on
in succession. Hence the origin Of tens,
which, being confined like the units TO
the mum her OF fingers, could not be car
ried beyond IL without forming new to-
tai called hundreds, then another called
thousands, etc.
From these observations a curious con-
sequence may be drawn. IL nature, in
stead OF ten fingers, had given us twelve,
then the present system of Enumeration
would have been different. After ten,
instead of saying ten plus one, or eleven;
ten plus two, or Twelve, we would have
sscended by simple denominations to
twelve, and would then have counted
twelve plus one, twelve plus two, etc,
as Tar as two dozen, aad-onr hundred
would have been twelve dozen, etc. A
six fingered people would certainly have
had an arithmetic Of this kind, which,
indeed, would have sufficiently answered
every arithmetical purpose, or rather
would have been attended with various
advantages which the present numerical
system does not possess.
LIEBNIrz's PLAN.
A celebrated mathematician named Lieb-
nitz proposed a system more than one
hundred years ago, the properties of
which it is interesting to examine. In
his system only two characters were used
/ and o. In this system the addition of
an multiplied everything by two, as it
does by ten In common arithmetic. The
mum bers we're expressed as follows:
