The Division of Time.

The division of time into hours was
practiced among the Babylonians from
remote antiquity, but it was Hippar-
chus, the philosopher, who introduced
the Babylonian hour into Europe. The
sexagesimal system Of notation was
chosen by that ancient people because
there Is no number having so many di-
visions as sixty, The Babylonians d.
vided the daily journey of the sun, the
ruler of the day, into twenty-four para
sangs. Each parasang, or hour, was
subdivided into sixty minutes, and that
again into sixty seconds. They COM
pared the progress made by the sun
during one hour at the time of the
equinox to the progress made by a
good walker In the same period Of
time, both covering one parasang, and
the course of the sun during the full
equinoctial day was fixed at twenty
four parasangs.
