AGlance at CurrentT0picS

Washington, Jan. 2O.-Taking it all
in all Washington had Il big year in
the last twelve months. Fortune has
been good to its business G and few
er are complaining of hard times. If
you are a visitor to the national capital
and get into a confidential confab with
a Washingtonian and incidentally men,
ton the big crop yield with which the
tell you of another large crop, the har-
vest of Washington"
Bonanza farming in the great prairie
states does not hold a candle to the
crop raised in the Capital City. Per-
haps you did not know they raised
crops in Washington. But they do.
The crop that is harvested here and is
worth $ many millions of dollars an
nually is that of sigltseers. During
the twelve months Of last year, so fig
ures at the Union depot show, there
We're about 100000 visitors at Wash
ington. Sightseers are almost contin-
ually dropping in. Many more are ex-
pected this year. as the inaugural cere-
monies alone will attract thousands.
1t is estimated that the average sight
seer in Washington spends s., so on
that basis W%ashington's annual crop of
tourists is worth $6,OOO,OOO to $780,
600.
Probably it is because every person
in the United States feels he is part
owner of Washington that all are de-
sirous of visiting the city. In any
event. Washington. with a population
of 100000. is a better city so far as
transportation companies are concern
ed than any other city of similar size
in the country. 1t compares favorably
with the much larger cities of the east.

Logarithm Tercentenarv.

London. Jan. 2O.-The Royal Society
of Edinburgh is forming y provisional
committee to consider how the tercen-
tenary of logarithms which occurs in
1914. can best be celebrated. John
Napier's "Mirifici Logarithnlorum Cam
onis Descriptio" having Leen publish
ed in 1914. Its appearance has been
considered by many as an event in the
history of British science second only
to the appearance of Newton's "Prin-
cipia." The work is a small sized
quarto containing tifty-seven pages of
explanatory matter and ninety pages
of tables. Napier's table gives the To-
garithms of sines for every minute to
sever figures. and modern investiga-
ton has shown that 1-271S2S1S2S is the
base, although Napier and the early
calculators apparently did not under
stand the connection between loga-
rithms and opponents.
