Mathematics In Ancient Eoypt.


Among recent archaeological discov.
cries In Egypt Is that OF a roll of
papyrus in an excellent state of pres
ervation and dating from the year
100 B. c. The roll has a long title.
part OF which reads, instructions to
enable one to know the Dark Things. j"
and the gist Of it suggests that the
Egyptians were good at mathematics.
Without doubt the Egyptians of that
time possessed knowledge of the
elements of arithmetic. Numerous ex.
amples demonstrate that their prin.
cipal operations with integrals and
fractions were by means OF addition
and multiplication; but subtraction
and division were not known In their
present form. However, by a longer
and more involved process they ar.
rived at results pretty accurately. In
the papyrus are found equations. for
example: "Ten measures OF barley are
divided between ten persons In such
a way that each succeeding person
receives an eighth less than the per.
son Immediately preceding him. What
proportion does each one get?" An.
other problem is: "There are seven
men. each one Of which has seven
cats; each cat has eaten seven rats;
each rat has eaten seven grains of
barley; each grain of barley must
have produced seven measures of
grain. How much grain has been
lost?" The papyrus contains also the
calculation as to the area Of circle,
the quadrature Of circle, and the
cubic measurement Of the pyramids

NEVER AGAIN FOR THIS MAN
Youth Meant Well, but Recollection
Of Episode 10 a Haunting
Memory.

The newly established practice in
the Equal Rights association of ap-
pointing attractive young women to
dispose of suffrage literature, badges,
sandwiches, ETC., has been the cause Of
some amusing mistakes. One Of these
was wholly lacking in humor, from the
point OF view Of the unfortunate per-
son who lived through 1t.
1t was this way An amiable young
man, walking down Broadway one
morning short time ago, saw stand
Ing on the corner beautiful young
girl. She held In her hand bunch Of
violets and camelias. At her feet lay
tray of these flowers, and she
glanced shyly and appealingly at the
passers-by. The young man had
started across the street when he saw
her. He hesitated, turned, looked
back at her uncertainty, and then
squaring his shoulders, strobe to her
side.

and help the cause along?" he asked

smile.
The girl turned. looked at him for
an instant in blank amazement, and
then flushed Indignantly. The wretch
ed youth suddenly saw a boy dart
from a nearby store and rush up to
the young lady with handful of
change. She took the change, pinned
on her flowers and with a whitening
glance at the would-be supporter of
the cause" who remained rooted to
the spot, marched away.
When he was able to speak dispas-
sionately Of the incident. the youth de-
clared that to the best Of his recollec.

Work of Convention Has Finished
Its Work.

Columbus, Ohio-Forty-two proposed
constitutional amendments for ratifica.
ton is the completed work of the Ohio
constitutional convention, which ad
Journed Saturday. The most radical
change is the limiting of the power of
the supreme court.
A proposal was passed providing for
preferential vote for United States
senator. However, the legislature will
not be required to hold to the result
of the preferential vote The conven-
ton provided for a regulatory liquor
license and limited the number of re.
tail saloons, one to 500 population.
The delegates refused to pass the
"recall," but passed bill for the
prompt removal of public officials, in
Guiding the judiciary, upon complaint
and hearings. Another proposal gives
the legislature power to pass law re-
quiring vote of only three-fourths of
jury to return verdict in civil
cases.
The convention voted to remove the
word "male" from the bill of rights
IN the present constitution and there
by give votes to women.
The initiative and referendum passed
by the convention provides for the di-
rect initiative upon constitutional
amendments on petition of 10 per cent
Of the voters and of indirect initiative
upon legislative questions upon 6 per
cent.
The referendum on both constitu-
tional and legislative questions is
provided for on petition of per cent
Of the voters. The proposal contains
an inhibition against the single tax.
A proposal substitutes life imprison-
ment for death as the extreme penalty.

BOTH TAFT AND RO0SEEELT
CLAIM TO BE IN The LEAD
With DELEGATES.
Former Leads in Uncontested Dele
gates-If Taft Gains Four-ifths Of
Contested Delegates It Will Give Him
Control of Convention-More Than
225 Contests Filed.

Chicago.-President Taft must win
four-ffths of the contested delegates if
he is to get the nomination of the re.
publican convention. This is conceded
by one of the Taft lieutenants now in
Chicago. The Roosevelt representa-.
tives grant nothing of the sort, holding
that the force of popular will already
insures Taft IS defeat.
his name, the Taft leader made an
estimate of the strength Of the candi-
dates. The Taft mans figures give
Colonel Roosevelt AIS uncontested dele
gates, Mr.. Taft 1913, Senator La Fol-
lette SO and Senator Cummins 10. He
figures the contested seats at 222 and
omits from his calculations the % dele
gates yet to be selected.
Taft Forces Figure Closely.
This is the first concession from
the Taft campaign that Roosevelt is
leading in uncontested delegates. It
likewise is regarded by politicians as
the first admission that the president 3
denomination depends upon steam
roller tactics by the national commit
tee. Should Mr.. Taft gain four-fifths
of the contested delegates, as his ad-
herents predict, it would give him an
additional 176 votes in the convention,
or total Of $40, only nine more than
enough to nominate. The estimate
shows the Taft forces are figuring
closely.
Colonel Harry S. New, chairman of
the subcommittee of the national
committee, and strong Taft partisan,
was asked to comment on the esti-
mat from the Taft man.
~ would not be surprised he said,
and then stopped. "Oh, I don It
KNOW he added. "I really do not
know what is going to happen.
An official statement was issued by
Colonel New covering the list of con-
tests filed. So far as known at the
committee headquarters it includes all
of the disputes. Newspaper dispatches
from Alaska, however, indicate the
two delegates from that territory also
will be contested. The papers are said
to be on the way, having been mailed
in time, it is said, to comply with the
committee time limit rule. The ma
tional committee meets Thursday in
Chicago to hear the contests.
The official compilation shows 22s
contested seats, six more than had been
figured on by the Taft followers. It
further reveals that the entire state
of Louisiana is in dispute, also
Georgia and Washington, all except
two in Arkansas and Mississippi and
all except eight in Texas. Three sets
are claiming the seats allowed Louisi-
ana, two Taft and one Roosevelt dele
