MATHEMATICAL SIGNS.
Origin Of Plus, mlnus. Multlpllestlsh
and Division symbols. Aqs

and Division symbols. Aqs
The sign OF addition Is derived from
the initial letter Of the word plus"
In making the capital letter II 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 knew 1t was gradually
reached. M
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word
was first contracted In IN. u. g.. with n
horizontal line above to indicate tina.
some of the letters had been left out.
At last the letters were omitted alto.
gether. leaving only che shore line.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into the let
ter "x" This was done because null
tiplicatlon is but a shorter form Of ad.
dition. ~
Division was formerly indicated By
placing the dividend above horizon
tai line and the divisor below. In or
Fder to save space IN printing. the divi.
dend was placed TO the left and the
divisor to the right. After years of
evolution" the two IDS" were omit
ted altogether aud 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 1867 by a sharp muthema-
tlcinn, who substituted It to avoid fre-
uuently repeating the words equal
to."--St. James Gazette.

About Matches.

John Walker. an English chemist,
was experimenting In 1927 with an IN
fiammable mixture for use on ship
board. One day Walker happened to
rub stick dipped In this mixture
across a table. There was a report
the stick took fye, aud because John
Walker was no fool the match was
born. The match's inventor put his
wonderful invention on the market
In April. 1897. The Walker match was
as big az a lead pencil, and It cost .
shilling a box. Because 1t could only
be lighted by drawing 1t through Q
piece of sandpaper folded In two the
Holden match supplanted 1t in 1888.
The Holden was a lucifer. II ignited
more easily than the Walker. SO 1t put
the Walker out of business. Sweden
IL today the home Of the match In
dustry. Sweden exports annually
about 1000 100000 boxes OF incompar'
able matches. But there 10 no ststS>

MAKES THRILLING FLIGHT.
American AeropIane Lowers Record
for Rheims Course.

Rheims, Aug. 24.--Glenn II. Curtiss,
the American aviator, and NJ. Paulham,
representing France, divided honors of
the second day of aviation week, the
former in a thrilling fight just before
dusk, in which he lowered the speed
record for the course, which measures
l.5 miles, to minutes 35 2-5 seconds;
the latter making two impressive high
altitude flights of 49i and So kilometers,
respectively, in the endurance test for
the prix de Ia Champagne.
Curtiss' performance began just as
the time limit for the start of the prix
de In Champagne was expiring. Bleriot
only few minutes before had clipped
I6 seconds Off LeFebvre' IS record.
Suddenly, at the end of the field cry
went up: "'The American is startingl" "
With a preliminary run along the
ground Of 100 yards, the machine rose
lightly and shot by the tribunes at n
height of go feet. 1t was going a ter
rife pace, with the wing level as a
plane. Curtiss made the last run under
the mistaken impression that the finish
line was closer. He descended so close
to earth that many thought he touched,
but perceiving his error, he mounted
quickly, crossing the line majestically.
An instant later the signal was hoisted
that he had made record.

Try to Leave Out Farm Land.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Statements
and interviews quite constantly are
printed from friends of the policy of
conservation, based on the assumption
that amendment of the law will be nee.
essary to enable the elimination of agri-
cultural lands from national forests.
Associate forester, in the absence of
Forester Pinchot, when asked about
this matter, and requested to make n
statement setting forth in substance the
facts. prepared the following:
"In establishing the boundaries of
national forests, it is the aim of the
service to exclude, so far as possible,
lands more valuable for agricultural
purposes than for forest purposes. Any
one acquainted with the mountainous
regions of the west in which are located
national forests will realize, however,
that small areas of agricultural land in
pockets and in valleys of minor streams
exist, which in establishing boundaries
to include forest land could not be ex'
cluded. -

HENEY WILL ACCEPT.
Must Make Campaign, : However, on
Independent Ticket.

Newport, Or, Aug. 23.-Francis j.
Heney furnished the oregonian writ
ten statement today, in which he figures
out that, according to the recent Su'
preme Court decision in California, he
cannot accept the nomination for prose-
cutting attorney on either the Demo.
cratic or Independence League tickets.
"The only way in which / can be.
come a candidate is by petition signed
by n certain number of voters who did
not vote at the primary election, re-
questing that my name be placed on the
ballot as an independent candidate,
says Mr.. Heney.
Mr.. Heney has been nominated both
by the Democrats and the independence
League, but California s new primary
law forbids that candidate accept
nomination by two parties. Further.
more, n candidate must be named BY
the party with whom he announced his
affiliation at the primaries. Mr.. Heney
is registered as Republican.
Mar. Heney SAYS he does not want the
Office of prosecuting attorney, but will
if nominated and elected, sacrifice his
business interests for the public weaI
in order to continue the war against
the grafters.

NEW LEPRoSY CURE.
Philippine Quarantine Officer Uses X
Ray Successfully.

Philippine Quarantine Officer Uses X
Ray Successfully.
Washington, Aug. 21.-The X-ray
as cure for some cases of leprosy
has been demonstrated by the Ameri-
can health authorities in the Philip
pies. according to DR.. Victor ID.
Heizer. quarantine officer in the
islands.
DR.. Heller, in a report to Surgeon
General Wyman, of the public health
and marine hospital service, says the
X.ray is suitable only for specially
selected cases. and is valuable appar-
emily only in the earlier stages. San
Lazro hospital. at Manila, is the first
institution in the world to use the X
ray for leprosy treatment.
Official figures show that on March
81, 1909, there were 2,446 lepers in
the Philippines, segregation having
reduced by more than 1000 the num-
ber of cases during the last two years.
At the beginning of the American oc-
cupation, IL years ago, there were
nearly 1000 lepers.
Americans perfected the establish.
ment for lepers on the island of Cutler
in 1906. II is estimated that under
the Spanish regime 700 new cases de-
veloped every year. At present the
number of new cases averages 800 an.
nually.
