ANCIENT ARITHMETIC.
Problems schooIboys Had to Solve
Thirty-six Centuries Ago.

Problems Schoolbcys Had to SoIve
Thirty-six Centuries Ago.
There is ray Of vindictive comfort
for the modern schoolboy in the fact
that for over 5000 years bis schoolboy
progenitors have been worried by just
such problems In arithmetic as annoy
him most
Among the archaeological discoveries
made in Egypt is papyrus roll. in
excellent condition. dating from about
1700 B. G. This roll, which had
long heading beginning, Directions
how to attain the knowledge Of all
dark things" proves beyond doubt that
the Egyptians of that time had a
thorough knowledge Of the elements
Of arithmetic.
Numerous examples show that their
principal operations with units and
fractions were made by means Of ad-
dition and multiplication. Subtrac-
tion and division were not known In
their present form, but correct results
were obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found In the papy-
rus. Here Is one that brings the Egyp.
tian schoolboy home to us:
Ten measures Of barley are to be d.
vided among ten persons in such man
ner that each subsequent person shall
receive one-eighth less than the one
before him.
Another example given is: There are
seven men; each one has seven cats;
each cat has eaten seven mice; each
mouse has eaten seven grains Of bar
ley; each grain of barley would have
yielded seven measures Of barley.
How much barley has been lost?
The papyrus also contains the calcu-
lation Of the area Of circle, attempts
to square the circle and finally calcula-
tions of the cubic measurements Of
pyramids.--N York Tribune.

SEWERS or PARIS.
How This Great System Swallows Up
the Litter of the Streets.

How This Great System Swallows Up
the Litter of the Streets.
The Paris sewer system is said to be
the finest in the world. The obseryant
visitor in the French capital soon
notices that its people have somewhat
different ideas from ours as to the use
Of sewers, for he will see porters throw
big bundles of paper down large open
ings left in the curb. and even rags
and garbage.
On Shrove Tuesday there is a car
nival along the Paris boulevards.
From noon to midnight the crowd
throws paper confetti in such guam
titles that the broad streets are cov-
cred with many tinted paper snow
when the last reveIers leave for home
The visitor wonders how this mess Is
to be cleared up. In the morning, how
ever, every scrap Is gone. II he had
stayed out late enough he would have
seen the litter swept and washed right
into the sewers.
Perhaps that takes him underground
to visit them, one Of the sights OF
Paris. There are nearly 1000 separate
channels, some great aqueducts nayi
gated in a boat, with walks on either
side. They carry the telephone and
telegraph cables, electric light wires
gas mains and pneumatic letter tubes

instrument to the trombonist with re-
quest to let the company hear him,

A STORM ON GALILEE.
Fierce While II Lasted, It Went as
Quickly as 1t Came.


Quickly as 1t Came.
The sea of Galilee is not always
calm. The mountains Immediately ad-
joinging it are 1000 feet high, and
through their deep gorges the storm
winds are sucked into the hollow Of
the lake, so that sudden squalls come
literally out Of a blue sky. One charm
ing spring morning we started out to
sail from Tiberias to Capernaum,
There was not ripple on the water
or cloud in the heavens. But when
we were quarter Of a mile from
shore out boatmen noticed band Of
rough water rushing toward us from
the other side of the lake. In spite
of our remonstrances they immediate
ly gave up the plan for making Caper-
naum, took down the sail with such
frantic haste that they nearly upset
the boat and then rowed for the land
with all their might and with such ex-
cited urgings to one another that we
thought them a cowardly crew. But
hardly had the boat been beached in a
sheltered cove when the wind was
bowling down on us from the noun
tains and the heavy breakers were
foaming along the shore as far out
into the lake as we could see. A quar-
ter of an hour later the sea of Galilee
was again as level as mirror, and
only a~soft, warm breeze was blowing
over the smiling aters.-1ravel Mag

Creek valley is the scene Of devasta-

storm which sent an immense wall Of
water down the valley. sweeping it
for miles almost clear of signs of hu-
man presence. Before its force hous-

the flood and had it not t sen daylight
when it occurred and had not settlers
ridden in advance Of the oncoming
water, many lives would undoubtedly
have been lost.
At the Charles MoCracken place,
not a board of the many buildings
is to be found, house. barn, aud all
outbuildings and fences having been
swept away and broken ur. Heavy
farm vehicles were carried long dis.
tanoes down the valley, and the con-
tents of the houses were scattered in
every direction.
The same thing happened on the
Campbell place on which Frank Jones
and family were living. Nothing was
left standing. A similar fate was ex.
perienced by S. q. Ligbtfoot while
James Nelson lost everything except
his house which held its foundation
in the food. All of his farm vehicles
including two hacks, buggy. three
wagons and several racks were wash
ed away and completely demolished.

A Leasnd of Aaincourt.

For many centuries we English have
plumed ourselves upon the victory of
Agincourt. Indeed 1t is from King
Henry VS. address to his soldiers on
that occasion, as given by Shake
speare, that the motto of this Journal
Is taken, Familiar In their mouths as
household words" But the French
have an account Of the affair not SO
much to our credit 1t was arranged,
according to this fable, by the two
leaders that only the mobiles on each
side were to fight. King Henry Y.
then artfully ennobled his whole army
and hence got the best of the enemy.
Shakespeare unwittingly gives little
countenance to the legend when be
makes the king declare In the above
mentioned address, BE ye ne'er 80
vile, this day shall gentle your condi-
on."--London Standard

WoRDsWoRTH's RECITATION.
The Way the English Poet Received
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Ralph Waldo Emerson.
When Emerson, the great American
writer, came to England he paid yis-
It to Wordsworth, says an English
magazine. Wordsworth had inst re.
turned from journey and was In his
garden writing poem on what he had
seen. The visitor found the great poet
white haired. tall. sparely built man,
of rugged, rustic type, with nothing,
unless 1t were the fine eyes, to hint OF
the poet.
Wordsworth made no ceremony over
the visit Of the man from far land,
but said instantly when he was called
to greet him, "If you are interested in
my poetry perhaps you will like to
hear these Ines" Emerson politely
agreed, and this is what happened
Emerson has himself written the story
down for us. The old poet thought
for few moments, then stood forth
and repeated with great animation an
entire poem he had written.
"The recitation" the American phi
losopher wrote afterward, was SO un.
looked for and surprising Words
worth standing apart and reciting to
me in a garden walk, like a schoolboy
declaiming-that at first was near to
laughing; but, recollecting myself that
had come thus far to see poet and
he was chanting poems to me, saw
that he was right and that l was
wrong, and gladly gave myself up
to hear"

STOVES OF IRON.
They Superseded the Roman Stuba In
the Eighteenth Century.

tHe Gi9HtSSUSU ScntuTy.
A heating apparatus called "stuba"
(stove) was widely used among the
higher class of Romans before the be-
ginning Of the Christian era. This
class Of heaters was fixed and immova

spects wholly different from the mod.

via they were used in bathrooms and
hothouses during the middle ages.
They were usually constructed OF brick,
stone or tile and were OF immense size.
They sometimes covered the whole
side Of twenty or thirty foot room
and often extended out into the room
as much as ten feet, In which case the
smooth, hat top was used for q bed.
stead, the heated surface imparting an
agreeable feeling of warmth during
those cold nights Of long ago when
such things as covers were quite rare.
Cardinal Polignac of France was per,
haps the first to attempt the construc
tion of stove wholly of iron, this al
about the beginning of the eighteenth
century. The first real Improvement
over the old Roman 'stuba" was
brought about by Franklin in the year
1745 One of his efforts produced a
typical base burner, almost perfect and
a model Of workmanship. Stoves were
not used in private houses to any great
extent prior to the year $780, London

ENLIvENED THE SCENE.
But Hero's improvisation Did Not Help
Leander Much.

Leander Much.
lnnumerable are the tales Of actors
In difficulties. Here is one related of
Christian Brandes, the dramatist, who
In his youth belonged to strolling
company which played pieces Of an
extremely primitive kind.
On one occasion the play was enti-
tied "Hero and Leander," the dialogue
being left pretty much TO the discre-
ton Of the players. 1t had been
agreed, however, that Hero was to be
coy and not confess her love for Lean
| der till he had again and again ex'
pressed his readiness to be hanged
burned and drowned in her behalf
But the lady was soft hearted, besides
being exceedingly fond Of Brandes
nor could she listen unmoved to th,
first passionate pleadings of the youth
who explained that he had swum
across the Hellespont to see her. "My
dear Leander," she exclaimed, II can
not resist you. Accept my hand and
my heart"
Leander knew not what to say. All
his prepared phrases were useless.
The manager came to his aid with a
loud whisper addressed to Hero, "In
the -fiend's name. improvise few
words and retirel"
The poor girl, turning to the audi
ence, repeated her lesson. 'In the
flcnd's name, / improvise few words
and retire." and then tripped OFF the
stage, greatly relieved. london Graph

TRAIL OF HAVOC WROUGHT
Cloudburst and Hail Storm Strikes
Butter Creek and Reservation.

The Butter Greek country was visit
ed by severe storm Saturday evening
which resulted in considerable dam
age to property and crops. A wall Of
water swept down Butter Greek valley
and swept all before it. The storm
came over the Birch Greek district,
destroying crops. Wind. rain and
hail in the southwest part of the Um-
atilla reservation wrought damage to
the large wheat fields Of that section.
Among the heaviest individual loHers
by the storm are John Grow, bis son,
Claud Grow, John Rothlin, George
Perringer, William Wright, John
Todd. Tom Thompson, Sam R. Thomp-
son. J. w. Maloney and A. b. Cooley.
George Perringer places his loss at
$4,000 and J. w. Maloney will lose
between two and three thousand dol
lars as the result of the storm.
Sam r. Thompson, who is farming
the Blakely place at Eastland as we'll
as land on the reservation, figures that
the storm cut down his yield on the
former place at least ten hushsl to the
acre, while L. @. RothrorK, whose
land adjoins the Blakely farm on the
west. suffered as severely. The bar
ley on the Roulstone place to the north
was also badly damaged.

Here is an instructive experiment
made recently on the effects of sun
light. Some germs of the terrible dis
ease, anthrax, were sown on two
plates Of gelatin, and while one plate
was kept in the dark the other was

there were 800 colonies or groups In

plate, 2,520. No disease germ thrives

out that the law specifically provides
