Myrrh Simply a Gum Resin.

Myrrh is a gum resin that exudes
from the cracks of a tree found in
Arabian and East African countries
1t flows rather freely, but the natives
in order to get larger supply Of the
article, often bruise the trunk of the
trees with rocks. The myrrh tree it
self is low tree. growing about ten
or twelve feet high, with thorny
branches. When the myrrh first ex
udes from the tree it is of yellowish
whitish, buttery consistency that grad,
ually hardens and assumes a reddish
semitransparent color. 1t is used
principally as one Of the components
of incense.

NUMBERS IN EARLY DAYS
Forerunners Of Existing System Re.

EOTCTuUUCTo " EGiSItUQ OVSlCm nc
sorted TO Queer Expedlents.
In n paper read before the Philo-
logical society OF the University OF
Michigan, George Hempl commented
upon the forerunners OF eur present
system Of enumeration. Some two
years ago, in seeking the origin OF
the Runlc letters (the first letters
used by the Germanic races), Profes.
scr Hempl discovered the primitive
Germanic numeral notatisns. They
threw new light upon the early Ger
manic mineral system, as well as up
on the primitive Indo-Europrf num-
erical system and upon the Lvelop-
ment OF the Greek alphabet and the
Greek numerical notation.
The primitive Indo-Eurepean numer-
ical system was a mixture Of the deci-
NAL and the sexagesimal. The first
large number was the "shock"
is, sixty-and the next large number
was the "hund." or hundred" that is
120. Between so and 120 there were
no numbers like our 20, etc, 70 being
"a shock and ten" and 80 being "a
shock and 90" The introduction OF
our present numbers between 60 and
100 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 duodeci-
NAL hundred, or the great hundred"
which is still used in Iceland and parts
OF England.
