ZERO AN ANCIENT TERM.

1t Was In Use In Babylon Thirty.six
Centuries Ago.
The term zero, which Is used to desig
nate a cipher and in meteorolOgy the
entire absence Of heat in the atmos
phere, was, according to mathematic
al historian, Moritz Cantor, used by the
Babylonians about the year 17OO b. Q
This, however, is merely supposition
1t has not been definitely established
that zero was In use any earlier than
400 A. ID. About this time 1t was used
in India, and several centuries later ths
Arabs began to employ 1t. Through
the Arabs its use became known to Eu
ropaans during the twelfth century. Il
was not generally adopted In Europe
until several centuries later, notwtth
standing its great advantages. For
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

with It's position values, while the other
known us the abacists, favored the Ro
man notation. without zero or position
value.
The general adoption Of the Eindot
system was greatly facilitated by the
facts that it was explained In most Of
the calendars for more than n century
beginning with 1900, and that the me

An American waterloo.

Wellington at Waterloo and Meade
at Gettysburg each held the highlands
against his antagonist. Wellington on
Mont Saint Jean and Meade on Gene
tery Ridge had the birdseye view of
The forces of attack. The English bat
terics on the plateau and the Union
batteries on Cemetery Heights COM
handed alike the intervening undula-
tons across which the charging col
umns must advance. Behind Mont
Saint Jean, to conceal WcllinSton's
movements from Napo!eon's eyes, were
the woodlands Of Soisnes. Behind
Cemetery Ridge, to conceal Meade's
movements from the field glasses OF
Lee, was a sharp declivity. protecting
and helpful depression. AS the French
under Napoleon at Waterloo, so the
Confedcrates under Lee at Gettysburg
held the weaker position. In both cases
the assailants sought to eXpel their OPP
ponents from the stronger lines. l
might add another resemblance in the
results which followed. Waterloo de-
creed the destiny of France, Of Eng
land, Of Europe. Gettysburg, not so d.
rectly or Immediately. but practically,
decided the fate of the Confederacy.-
