the result that all our timepieces have

How many people have the slightest
notion why sixty seconds make a miu-

sixty minutes, and so on? Why are
there not ten hours to the day and ten
to the night2
The reason Is. very simple. 1t is be-
cause the people Of Babylon reckoned
not only by decimal system of nota-
ton, but also by a sexagesimal sys-
tenn. That is to say, they not only
reckOned by tens, but also by sixties.
The Babylonians were very clever PEG
pie, and they saw that the decimal sys-
tenn was by no means the best.
They knew that no number had 80
many divisors as has sixty.
How about the division Of the day
into hours? The Babylonians began by
comparing the progress made by the
sun on its daily journey to the distance
covered by a good walker, this being
done at the time Of the equinox. Tie
astronomers divided the suns journey
into twenty-four parsangs, whence our
hours.

remarkable facts Of history that the

Joined there by d party of German
scientists who were making a tour of
the Central American republics. There
were seven in. the party and two ma

suade him from sleeping in the hut,
telling him that the place was haunt

there was always found dead next
morning with a mark Of black cross
on the neck just over the main artery.
AS a proof of what they said they
showed two OminOus looking mounds
buried in the shrubbery near the hut
which, they said, were the graves Of
two Englishmen who had sought shell
ter in the haunted casa.
Tradition had it that some crime or
sacrilege had been committed there
and that, as a punishment. whoever
slept in the hut was found dead in the
morning with the cruz nigra on the
neck. Herr Shilbach. however. was
not to be deferred by any such super
stition as he called it. So about 10
o'clock he retired to his hut. and I
noticed his torch was out in q few
minutes and all was darkness. We
had paid no attention to the story Of
the natives, but as Herr ShiIbach did
not answer the bugle call for breakfast
the Indians were ordered to summon
him. It was only under threats that
they yielded, but scarcely had they en-
tered the hut when we heard the most
frightful screams, and the next min
ute the guides were rushing wildly to-
ward us, shouting in broken Spanish
and Indian. "Epia la cruz nigra, Ia
