The Independents might have had

the Independent party would meet
and discuss the matters which must
be dealt with at the next meeting of
the Legislature we have no doubt
that an understanding could be ar

to the public at large. There are no

BATTLE OF THE NUMERALS
Mathematical worries That HAYS
Arisen with the
New Year.

The advent of the year 1900 has
brought other mathematical worries
than that regarding the relation it
bears to the twentieth century. There
is for instance a difference Of opinion
as to how the mineral signifying the
year shall be written. Several ways of
arranging the Roman numerals are
possible, and the battle of the Ms and
C's and DIS may be said to be now fair
ly on. AS matter of fact the Roman
mineral has fallen largely out of use
during the century just closing. and
is now to be found chiefly in formal
documents and occasionally on he title
pages Of books. The modern mind is
too thoroughly accustomed to the more
easily written and understood Arabic
numerals pause to figure out intricate
problems in the Romans. The year
1900 may be regarded as 400 years after
the year 1900, or 100 years short of the
year 1900. Much depends upon the
point of view. If the year 1900 is taken
as the base of calculation, that being
the least multiple of 500 the present
year may be written MDCCCC, meaning
LOCO years. 500 years and 400 years, a
total of 1900. Or, somewhat on the
same basis it may be written MDCD,
which means 1000, 500 and a hundred
less five hundred. This, however, is an
awkward method, and might confuse
some nonexperts. Taking the years
2oOO as basis two ways are possible,
Mon, meaning 1000 and hundred less
another thousand, or CMM, meaning
hundred less than 1000. OF these two
the weight of reason and usage lies
with the former, on the principle that
1t is proper always to express the largest
possible established number. and to re-
sort to subtraction only in case of the
smallest possible numeral to produce
exact definition. Should the principle
OF positive expression be regarded
throughout, the symbol MDCCCC would
stand as the correct numeral for the
year, for it involves no subtraction
whatever. At the same time it is true
that the symbol for is always arranged
upon the basis Of subtraction, thus. TX.
Upon this principle. which is carried
through the multiples, the proper SYM
Dol for 1900 would be similarly SUBJ
tractive, or MCM. And SO MCM is find
ing many advocates. and it may prove
that for hundred years the world
will be divided into two rival camps,
those who persist in writing MDCCCC
and those who maintain that MCM
alone is proper. 1t is relief to reflect
that with the year 1000 the controversy
will cease, for there is no dispute over
the double M.-Washington Star.
