Some Difficult Tables.

Some Of the excavations at Nippur
show that the Babylonians had multi
plication tables five times as long as
those commonly used in schools. Most
little men and women, for instance,
do not have to go further than twelve
times twelve but the little Babylonian
children, says DR.. Herman V. Hill
precht, who superintendent the late ex-
cavations, had to go as far as sixty
times sixty.
Numbered fragments of tablets bear
ing these multiplication tables" have
been found. some few of which go as
far as 1900 times 1900. But these
were evidently only for astronomical
purposes. Those old astronomers seem
to have felt hard pressed for time,
and when they were calculating the
distances of the new stars they found,
and their size, they did not want to
take the time to multiply. and so just
referred to these tables in stone.

Fish without Bait.

The fishermen of Ciudad Bolivar, on

catch their fish in the queerest way in
the world. They use no bait, but try
to hook the fish by the body. A cylin-

Above this weight, for a length of six
inches, strong fish hooks are attached.
The line is thrown out in places where
the current is swift and shoals of fish
pass. 1t is hauled in rapidly by a
series Of jerks and usually there is a
fish on half the. hooks.
This method of fishing is called ro-
