UNCANNY FIGURES.

There is something uncanny about
figures They possess marvellous prop
critics which, though perfectly well
known. are nevertheless Incompetent
sible- Every one knows that if you
multiply 81 by 8 or any multiple Of
up to 81 the result is that all three
digits are the same
All thes strange properties possessed
by figures are recognized phenomena,
which are TO be accepted rather than
explained But when We get to- the
rather more involved mathematical
calculations the uncanniness OF fig
ures is further involved Take. for
instance, the familiar puzzle. which
is easily explained by the mathemati-
clan. but causes bewilderment to the
typo in figures
Two men have so oranges each The
first seels half at two a penny and half
at three penny. Let US work out the
sum- Thirty sold at two penny bring
him in Is pence, 80 at three a penny
fetch 10 pence; total. Is pence. The
second sells ali his so at the rate of
i've for twopence- There are IL sets
If five in go; hence he receives IL two
pence, or "a pence.
Apparently both men sell at the
anne rate-they do not do so really
md one receives one penny more than
he other Verify. there is something
uncanny about figures

The Statement. that liquid air promises
to do the work OF coal at next to no
cost. because an experimenter claims
to have produced ten gallons OF liquid
air by the use OF three gallons in an
engine" President Henry Morton Of the
Stevens Institute has pointed out the
fallacy OF the, claim. He shows that It
really takes twelve times az much pow

that gallon could develop In an Ideally
