Some system of notation has been
used since time out OF memory. The
first record we have Of it is Of figures
written with a stick on a fiat surface
covered with sand. Before that all
calculations were made with pebbles,
beans and the like. Even now the
Chinese do their calculating with little
stones or beads strung on wires. in a
frame. The Romans first used vertical
Iines-I, II, III. etc.-to express num-
bers. The Arabic figures. which we
commonly use at the present time, are
of much earlier date.
The Arabic system is chiefly valu-
able on account of the great conven-
fence it affords by giving Il figure a
value according to the place it occu-
pies in the line. BY this system the
most enormous sums can be expressed
by the ten little characters which form
the numerical alphabet
