The term zero, which Is used to desig-
nate a cipher and in meteorpiogy the
entire absence OF heat In the atmos-
phere, was, according TO nathematic-
al historian, Moritz Cantor, used by the
Babylonians about the year 17CO b. c.
This, however. is merely supposttion-
It has not been definitely established
that zero was In use any earlier than
400 A. d.: About this time II was uRed
TN India. and several centuries later the
Arabs begnn to employ ii. Through
the Arabs its use became known to Eu-
ropeans during the twelfth century. II
was not generally adopted in Europe
until several centuries later, notwith-
standing its great advantages. For a
considerable time there were two par
ties among the European educators
One party, known as. the algorists, ia
vored the adoption of the Hindoo sys-
tenn Of notation falsely called Arabic,
with its position values, while the other,
known as the abacists, favored the Ro-
man notation, without zero or position
value.
The general adoption Of the Hindoo
system was greatly facilitated by the
facts that 1t was explained In most OF
the calendars for more than century,
beginning with 1900. and that the me-
diaval universities frequently offered
courses devoted to the use Of this nota-
tion.-Chicago Tribune.

The experiments were made at the

The invention consists, primarily.
of a transmitter. an ear piece and a
small electric battery. BY means of
these instruments sound is projected
into the ear in a manner to simulate
the auditory nerve. The volume of
sound has nothing to do with the ac-
ton of these instruments. The pene-
