the entire So, 900, which went to pay the
dividend to shareholders, who would thus have
received nothing. That is, on the data a
sum sufficient to pay 10 to shareholders would
yield only 100 of 70 to depositors. 1t is
therefore manifestly absurd for depositors
to raise the complaint, sometimes heard that
their interest is unjustly insignificant to the
rewarded.

How to Square Numbers

n EATHEMATICIANS have discovered anal
IV1 ogies which lead to a ready method for OBJ
tanning the square of numbers, and conversely
for obtaining the square root of these squares
The squares of all numbers up to IS (hves and
multiples excluded have the following ter
mina1 system of tens and units:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-04-22

and signifies the eighth month, August; the
tens and units give 81, signifying the year of
birth in the century. The principle is as plain
as it is interesting. The has been raised to
the hundred column by the multipications
of and SO. And as to the year of birth, the
questioner has been deceived by an addition of
S, which being subsequently multiplied by
50 equals $50. Thereafter he innocent1y adds
the year of his birth from which all that re-
mains to be deducted is the added $50. This is
done, unsuspectingly by the arbitrary de-
duction of 365 and subsequent addition Of rs,
leaving the net deduction of $50 as required.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-04-22

Clearly in each case, 81; for in each case the
product of days, interest, and number of
hundreds of principal equals 900.

Telling a Persons Age

THE trick Of telling persons age has ire
L quently been given in concrete form; but
the mathematical principle has been left to
the ingenuity of the listener. 1t is simple In
what year and month was a person born? Ask
your question so that you receive reply
placing the month in the hundred column and
the year in the tens and unit columns. Thus,
say the person addressed was born in August,
1897.

DEVELOPING SOUTH DAKOTA.
Many Spring Up Along D 900 Miles
Of New Railroad.

CHICAGO, May le.-There are 1 1000 miles
of new railroad under construction in South
Dakota. The most important undertaking
now in progress there is the building Of an
extension Of the Minneapolis and st, Louis
Raiload from Watertown west to the Mis-
souri, River and a branch northwest from
the main line in Sphinx county by way of
Aberdeen. This extension will nave 1928
square miles Of territory tributary to il,
with a population Of less than 5000, but
il Is believed that the building OF the ex-
tension will aid materially in building up
that part Of the country. Already twenty
new towns have been started along the
new line, which extends $50 miles. Within
| a year it Is expected the population will be
tripled or quadrupled.
A new road. the Missouri River and North
western, has recently been completed west
to Mystic. on the Burlington road, 1t
| penetrates a rich mineral and timberr region
controls the only feasible pass through the
Black Hills and connects with the North
western and the Milwaukee and st. Paul on
the east,
The two last named roads also will be
active builders in South Dakota this year.
cement has been made by the Chi
oaRo Great Western road that IL will make
q rate of ~ cents a mile for parties of
eeventy-five or over travelling on one
ticket for distances Of $50 miles or over on
lie line between Chicago and Kansas City.

CROP SCARE PERIOD NEAR.
Chicago Traders Now Influenced Largely
by News From the Wheat Districts.

Chicago Traders Now Influenced Largel,
b, News From the wheat Districts.
CHICAGO, May l9.-Wheat traders this
week have paid more attention to crop news
than TO any other factor in the trade. The
crop scare period, which comes every year,
ia now at hand and for the next thirty days
the winter wheat crop will have its trials
to go through.
Harvest il thirty days off and the crop
killers will have to get in their work in hat
time or wait until they have a nance at the
spring wheat in July and August. The
enormous world shipments, especially those
from Russia, were ignored.
The absence OF sufficient precipitation in
the winter wheat country al the beginning
Of the week caused apprehension and a
good lea Of aggressive buying followed.
The trade has been in 40 few hands, how
ever, that prices are easily moved one way
or the other. The buyer was favored, not
only with dry weather talk and the Pc
culiar local speculative situation, but by
Il vastly improved iour situation. In
uuiries from millers were numerous, but
sales were few. owing to high prices.
The rains which fell more or less oopi-
ously over the Kansas field dampened the
bullish ardor on both sides of the Atlantic
and diminished speculation here proper
tionately. Quite a lot OF long wheat came
out, both here and in the Southwest. In
the Northwest the end of the seeding sea-
son has been followed by favorable weather,
which has given the crop a good start.

Members Of the striking carpenters
union in Brooklyn circulated a report yes
terday that Justice William ], Gaynor, who
had been chosen umpire TO settle the diff
ferenoes between the striking carpenters
and the master builders, had decided in
their favor. The strikers said that Justice
Gaynor had agreed that they were entitled
to $3.50 q day, which is an increase Of 50
cents over what they were obtaining on
May /, when they went on strike. and that
they were alao entitled TO an increase Of
80 cents a day on July /.
The members Of the Master Builders
Association denied that Justice Gaynor had
given any such decision and they said the
strikers were giving out this information in
order to hold the men together Justice
