JUGGLING FIGURES 1899.
Results of the Work OF an Arithmet-
ical Genius.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
II we add together the figures con-
tanned in 1899 we find they made %,
and these added give us O. Subtract
the first two figures, is, from 80, ana
we have 81, which added make 3, aSli
the letters comprising the words
eighty-one are nine. Add the hrst TWO
figures, IS, to 90. and we have III;
these figures, when added, again give
us 8. If we add all the principal num-
bers thus far mentioned. viz. 1899, ~,
81, III and %, the sum is 2,ll2. ana
these figures added give us 9. IL we
subtract q from III we have 80, which
divided by 10 again give us .. BY sub
tracing III from 1899 the remainder is
1,7S2; these figures, when added, 81 |e
us Is, ana these two when added give
us Q. If we add 90 and 1,7S2, principal
numbers, not included in first addl-
tion, TO 2142, obtained above, we have
40l4 and these figures, when added,
again produce 8. Now, If we add the
figures 1899 to the last sum we have
59l3. and these added produce Is,
which again being added the result
is o.
The combinations obtained above are
very remarkable, but carrying them
still further, with stranger results, we
find that by adding 1899 90 the sums
thus far obtained, viz, 40l4 and 5,9l3,
the sum is 1926. and by adding these
figures we have 49, which added pro-
duce 8. Further il we add the first
figure of the above sum to the last
two, viz. 1lS to 26, we have l44, and
these figures added give us Q.
We have now tried the results Of
addition and OF subtraction on these
mystic figures, and will now see what
multiplication will do. If we multiply
IS by SO the product is 1,7S2; these
figures when added give US IS, and
carefully add the numerals used in
this multiplication we will find the
addition TO be g. and by adding these
we have 8. Now we will multiply the
first three figures of the year by the
last. viz, 1888 by Q, we find 1,701, anC
by adding these figures we have 9, oI
II we add the numerals used in thiI
calculation we find they amount 10 36
and these added again produce .. w,
win multiply the two products, OBJ
tained above, viz, 1852 and 1,70l, ant
we have 3.03l ,1S2; these figures addet
produce is and these added give us 8
Innumerable changes could be rum
on these mystic figures, but the mos
remarkable part is that the letter
comprising the words eighteen ninety
nine are Is, and these two, when addet
produce the inevitable Q.

GROWING PERILS
OF ELECTRICITY
HAVOC OF LIGHTNING ON THE
INCREASE.
More Deaths Due to This Cause
Than to Storms Unaccompanied by
Lightning and the Destruction OF
Property by Lightning Also Shows
an Ominous Growth.

w f. Curtis. in Chicago Record
The annual report of the chief OF the
weather bureau shows remarkable
increase in the loss of farm property
by lightning during the last few years
1t is a question, however. whether TINS
is due to the frequency of thunder
storms or TO the more extended facili-
ties for securing information At
present the weather bureau has cor
respondent in every corner OF every
county of the country, who keeps IL
posted concerning all events OF inter-
est TO the farmers and the public gem
orally. while formerly it's syStoin o'
news-gathering was imperfect ana III
complete.
Nevertheless many of the cnrre5-
pondents of the weather bureau hold
that there has been a perceptibIe IN
crease in the number of storms ana
the extent of the fatalities and the de-
struction by lightning This view Is
also held by insurance companies
which make a speciality of taking risks
against storms and cyclones. For III
stance, the Farmers Mutual Insur-
ance company, of Rcddington. N. D.,
paid s24. 1888 in losses by lightning dur
ing the six years from 1882 to 1887. Dur
ing the corresponding six years OF the
next decade from 1892 to 1897. it paid
s62, ,l53. The fire insurance companies
of Michigan paid 516 losses from
lightning. amounting to S37 56s in 1893,
and in 1896 they had 1909 cases or
lightning stroke. amounting to Sl53.Sil.
Similar information comes from other
states and shows a remarkable increase
in the number of storms and the eX'
tent of destruction. In order TO deter
mine this question the weather bureau
has undertaken to collect complete and
accurate information through its own
representatives, with the cooperation
of insurance associations and other
persons.

"What most do you desire, dear?"
She asked with sweetest grace,
As look OF longing did appear
Upon his manly face,
With sudden flash of patriot fire
He answered her with zeal,
"At present, love, my chief desire
Is for my country's veal"
my country's wheel?" the answer came
With innocence divine;
81 never saw one of that name
Is II a ninety-nine?'
