The Division of Time.

The division OF time into hours was
pracuced among the Babylouians from
remote antiquity, but it was IIippar-
chus, the philosopher, who introduced
the BabylUuiau hour into Europe. The
scxaGesimal system of notation was
chosen by that ancient people because
there is no number having so many di
visions as sixty. The Babylonians di'
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.

THE NORMAN "OYEZ."
A Legacy of William the conqueror T.
the Courts.


the Courts.
Everybody who has ever been In
United States courtroom knows that
when the Judge walks out of his cham
bers and ascends the bench the court
crier drones out:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez, the honorable court
of the (whatever district it may be- is
now In session."
Not many persons, however, realize
that the crier says "oyeZ, oyez, oyez,"
instead of "harken, harken, harken,"
because OF a chance visit that William
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
William had overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
its head. Happening to enter court
room, he heard the crier call the as
semblage to order in English. William
rebuked him and on the spot decrced
that the business of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
French, his native tongue. Afterward
the courts went back to English. but to
this day "oyez oyeZ. oyeZ," clings TO
court customs wherever the English
language is spoken as a reminder of
the great Norman who whipped King
Harold in the battle of Hastings

In the canary breeding establish

are valued, because the females never
sing The method of training the birds
to sing is to put them in IA room where
there is an automatic whistle, which
they all strive to initiate. The breeder
listens to the efforts of the birds and
picks out the most apt pupils, which
are then placed in another room fol
further instruction. These are the bes
