Origin of PLUS, Minus, Multiplication
= and Division Symbols. -.
The sign of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the word plus
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more curelessly until
the top part of the p" was finally
placed near the center; hence the plus
sign as we know it was gradually
reached.
The sign Of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word
was first contracted In m. n. s., with a
horizontal line above to indicate that
some of the letters had been left out.
At last the letters were omitted alto
gether. leaving only the shore line.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into the let
ter "X." This was done because null
tiplication is but a shorter form of ad-
dition.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above a horizon
tai line and the divisor below. In Or
der to save space in printing, the divi
dend was placed to the left and the
divisor to the right. After years Of
revolution" the two IDS" were omit
ted altogether and simple dots set in
the place Of each. As with the others,
the radical sign was derived from the
initial letter of the word "radix."
The sign Of equality was first used
in the year 1857 by sharp mathema-
tician, who substituted it to avoid fire.

to."-St. James Gazette.

The almanac. properly SO called in

keeping people in mind of the prog
ress Of the year. 1t is an attempt to

stars in any particular year, and as,
according to astrological lore, the des-
TIMES of men are ruled by the differ
emit aspects of the planets, 50 also the
human body is subject to the influence
of the consultations through which
the sun appears to pass in his yearly
course. A French almanac Of 1910
gives a diagram Of the human body
surrounded by all the signs of the 20
diac and indicates the various organs
and members over which these signs
have power. and this for guide pour

UNCLE SAM.
The Way Our Nickname Is Said to
Have Originated.

The Way Our Nickname Is Said te
Have Originated.
This familiar nickname for the Unit
ed States is said to have come about II
the following manner:
During the war Of 1912 the United
States government entered into a con-
tract with Gilbert Anderson to furnish
supplies to the army. Whenever the
United States buys anything from a
contractor it appoints an inspector to
see that the goods are up to the speci-
fications. In this case the government
appointed man by the name Of Sam
uel Wilson. He was jolly, whole
souled man and was Familiarity known
as Uncle Sam. 49,
It was his duty to inspect every box
and cask that came from Ebert An
derson. the contractor, and If the con-
tents were all right the cargo was
marked with the letters "E. A.-U: s., =
the initials Of the. contractor and Of
the United States.
The. man whose duty IT was to do
this marking was something of, "a joker,
and when somebody asked him one
day what these letters stood for he
said that they meant Ebert Anderson
and Uncle Sam.
Everybody, including Uncle Sam
himself. thought this a very good Joke,
and by and by it got into print, and
before the end of the war it was
known all over the country, and that
is how the United States received the
name Of Uncle Sam.-Des Moines Reg
