PrimitiVe Numerdtion.


In paper read before the Philolog.
ical Society, of the University of Mich
igan, Professor George HempI COM
mented upon the forerunners of our
present system Of enumeration. Some
two years ago, in seeking the origin
of the Runic letters (the first letters
used by the Germanic races), Professor
Hempl discovered the primitive Ger
manic numerical notation. This threw
new light upon the early Germanic
numerical system, as well as upon the
primitive Indo-European numerical
system, and upon the development of
the Greek alphabet, and the Greek nu-
merical notation.
The primitive IndO-European numer-
NAL and the sexagesimal. The first
large number was the shock" that is
so, and the next large number was
the "hund" or hundred" that is 120.
Between so and 120 there were no num-
bers like our 20, etc, 20 being "a shock
and TO-" and so being "a shock and 90"
The introduction of our present num-
bers between so and 120 arose out OF
the introduction of the decimal hund
or hundred, that is 100 in distinction
from which the old hundred (120) was
called the duodecimal hundred or ,he
great hundred which is still used in
Iceland and parts of England.

adding Insult to Injury.

An American dealer, who was in ad
dition the actual inventor of the
article he handled, succeeded in build
ing up a trade in Japan. After he had
advertised his commodity extensively
citizen Of Japan registered the trade
mark in Toxic. A few days later pa
pers were served upon the American
in a suit for damages for infringement
upon a trademark controlled by a
japanese.
There is some mistake" said the
American. Il have infringed no mans
right. These are my goods. / in
vented the article and 1 designed the
trademark myself and coined the
name"
He was finally made to understand
that invention of the article, creation
Of the trademark and ownership of the
goods were minor details. The Jap
anese complainant, who owned no
goods, who had invented nothing, and
had designed no trademark or mark,
had been sufficiently alert to register
the trademark and was therefore en-
titled to the business. There was
nothing for the inventor to do but to
retire from the field, which he prompt
ly did, leaving his invention and the
field his advertising and enterprise had
opened to the commercial brigand
who had a working knowledge of

The Trilobite.

A cunning little trilobite
Lived in the old Silurian time
A hardy protoZoic mite,
Conceived of argillaceous slime.
His was the privilege to view
The ramphorhynchus in its flight;
The dinosaur, likewise, he knew,
This cunning little trilobite.
Before earth's crust was fairly cool
From igneous 1uidity
He swan the paleozoic pool
And on old PotSdam Sported free.
He watched the rhynchosaurus feed
And took great pleasure in the sight.
He'd opportunities indeed,
This cunning little trilobite.
He scuttled from the pterichthys;
The bathygnathus looked upon.
He heard the pterdoactyl hiss
The bounding labyrinthodon.
The durydorus serridens
When fairly spelling for fight
Would chase him TO his native fens,
This cunning little trilobite.
He's barely with the present linked
A crusted petrifaction now,
He long ago became extinct
A good thing. too. as you'll allow.
He cannot pose at length to show
This present age has nothing right,
Like other fossils that we know,
This cunning little trilobite.

and when he purchases one he does not
allow price to stand in his way. He
bought a very fine hat the other day
and for three or four days went about
the City Hall wearing a satisfied smile.
Then one day he appeared with his
old Derby pulled down over his eyes.
Not a trace of smile did his face
wear.
What's up, Judge?" asked a news
paper man, who knew that when the
Judges face was smileless something
had happened
What the Judge said is not material
to this story, but an hour or so later,
when he had thawed a bit, he ex-
planned:

Dust Us. Danger.

Whether the bacilli that cause

the same as those which cause it in
other warm-blooded animals, and
even fish, or whether they merely
change their appearance with their

food at all, but passed his time hud-

where there is no free grass. but where
lives a majority OF the people. the real

inquiry as to why and wherefore Of all
these bloody wars among a few for

by what right individuals are building
up great baronial landholdings out Of
the public domain and under laws pre-
sumably enacted to encourage the peo-

Of their employees from the home

danger of possible Interference from

thirteen range States have discovered
that a majority of the votes in their
respective commOnwealths are cast by
others than those concerned with range

difference of the Eastern member of
Congress is departing. He has heard
from his constituency in Massachusetts,,
New York or wherever else he may hail
from that the people are ready to take
up the matter Of administering the free
grass TO. the advantage of all. His
newly discovered interest may at bot
tom be politically selfish, but his advo-
cacy is going to be disinterested, and
while his theories may sound academic

Il Bargain.

Way back in the fifties, when George
T. Knox, the well-kncwn notary, was
much younger man than he is now,
he landed in San Francisco and finding
himself a stranger on the border of
the great Ell Dorado, sought employ
fnent and found it in the form of
job to dig sewer in one of the streets.
His pay was SIC day. Shortly after
he started shoveling he overheard an
animated pClyglot conversation be-
tween two men and the same was en-
phasized by pantomime for the reason
that the one was French and under
stood not a word of English, and the
other was an American who knew not
word of French. Mr.. Knox. who
has always been known for his Ches-
terfieldian politeness, rested on his
long handled shovel and, excusing him
self for what nowadays would be
termed Quitting in, he told the Amer
lean what the Frenchman was trying
to- have him understand. The Amer
lean looked at the sewer digger, say
ing sharply, What do you know about
it?"
Il know all about it," replied the
shovel wielder,' because 1 am a French
scholar"
The American thanked him and
added: IF you are a French scholar
what are you digging in that sewer
for?"
Sixteen dollars a day." suavely re-
piled Mr.. Knox.
IF you'll come out Of that hole"
said the American, VINO was prom
inent lawyer, "Tll give you twice that
amount a day to do some translation
for me, and it will be a long job
Mr.. Knox quit digging and in a short
time found himself treading the path
that led to prominence among the early
citizens.

Left-Eared Folk.

An announcement is made which, if
true is an interesting illustration Of
the minor differentiation of the char
acteristics due to envronmental condi-
tions, so to speak. We are told that
the telephone is giving us a race of
left-eared people-that is, of people
the right ear. The American Telephone
Journal says on this subject:
Nine out of every ten who use a tel
ephone hold the receiver to that ear,
and many find it impossible to hear
over a telephone through their right
ear. The fact that the majority of
men and women are right handed and
that the constructors of the first tele-
phones took due notice Of this is re-
sponsible for this new condition of left
cared people. Watch a telephone for
half a day, and it will be seen that al
most every person that uses that in
strument will place the receiver to the
left ear. Or. even if the instrument is
resting on a table. the left ear will be
the one used. When the new instru-
ments were constructed the receivers
were allowed to remain on the left side.
as the users had become accustomed to
this. All this has created a race of
left-eared people. for. having become
accustomed to using the receiver at the
left ear, it was found that the hearing
in that ear was better and more sensi-
tive. Every telephone girl in the ex-
changes has the receiver on her left
ear, and the man who uses his righr
ear is unusual.
