may be desired to multiply 13x14.
In that case, number the fingers,
beginning with the thumb, from eleven
to fifteen. Bring the thirteen on
the left hand against the fourteen of the
right hand and add the fngers-3 + 4=7-
for the figure representing the tens
Multiply the same fingers, 3x4=l2, and add
this result to the seven tens, giving
total of eighty-two. In giving each finger
an additional value Of ten the multiplca-
ton of 10x10 was accomplished au-
tomatically. Therefore. add 100 to the
81 already found and the result, 1872, is

necessary for pupils to spend hours
memorizing the multiplication and d.

any two numbers in the tables from
one to twelve, all Johnny has to do is to
place two rules at right angles to the
numbers in the outside columns. and. 10

g r: l note the article by Tesla quoted
~ rom THE Electrical Experimenter" for
February, in which he speaks of the illu-
sion of the axial rotation of the moon.
Professor Young, of Princeton, in his
Elements of Astronomy" Section 1874, says:
The moon rotates on it's axis once month
. It is difficult for some to see why a
motion Of this sort should be considered a
rotation Of the moon" etc.
The underlying difficulty is probably
difference of definition. It seems clear
that il the earth were suddenly eliminated
the moon would continue its journey
on the eiliptical course around the sun at
the same speed as at present, and that
person on it's surface would experience ap-
Fortunately thirteen solar nights and thir-.
teen SOAR days in a year, as at present and
one extra sidereal day, for the same reason
that while we have 565 solar days in our
yesr we haYc an additional star day. The
only effect Of the absence Of the earth
would be TO terminate the semi-wavy course
Of the moon, which In always concave to the
sun, but more or less so at different parts
OF the month.
1t IL not surprising that the moon shows
10 aattening at the poles in view Of the
fact Of its comparatively small sire and It's
extremely slow revolution. Even the earth
spinning twcnty~eight times faster Is not
greatly fattened.
It would be rather difficult to persuade
an iphabitant Of the moon that the globe
% whieh 10 stood did not rcvolye when In
sns course Of the year he saw the stars and

way ne would do on the earth.

matcian, has worked out brand new
method of teaching the multiplication
table, which is thus described in "J'ai
Vu":
THE multiplication table up to and in
Guiding five times five is neglected, as the
children can easily remember that far.
The fingers are then numbered from six
to ten, beginning with the thumb. If it
is desired to multiply two of the num-
bers, the fingers representing them are
brought together and the fingers that
touch with those before them are added
and give the figure for the tens, while
the multiplication of the other fingers
gives the units
For example: 1t is desired to multiply
eight by nine. The third finger of the
left hand (S) is brought against the
fourth finger of the right hand (9). Add
ing the fingers, 3-t4=7, the figure for the

Although on our entrance into the war
the Navy Department concentrated all it's
efforts upon the construction of anti-sub
marine craft, we made a great increase in
the strength of our dreadnought feet be-
tween 1914 and 1918 by the addition Of
seven of the largest and most powerful
ships in existence. In 1915 we completed
the Oklahoma and the Nevada, a. 500 tons,
mounting as their main battery ten 14inch
guns. The following year completed the
Pennsylvania and the Arizona, of $1,000
tons, each mounting twelve 14-inch guns.
These we're followed in 1918 by the New
Mexico and the Mississippi of $4,000 tons
and twelve l4-nch guns. The Idaho was

During the war Japan has added six
ships Of the dreadnou1ht class to her fleet.
Four Of these are bNttieships of over 10000
tons dlsp Placement, each mounting twelve
l2-lnch guns and steaming at 225 to 90
knots. The other two are battle cruisers
of 27,500 tons, mounting eight l4-inch guns
and steaming at 27.5 knots She is also
building new battleship of 80, 500 tons and
235-knot speed, designed to mount ten l5-
inch guns, upon which much work has been
done, construction being stopped for the
period of the war
OF pre- dreadnorghts Japan has twelve of
widely differing military value. Six of
these are what might be called semi
dreadnoughts, inasmuch as in addition to
their twelve guns they carry heavy inter-
mediate battery of twelve 10-inch in the
case of the Aki and the Satsuma four TO-
inch IN the case of the Kashma and the
katori and eight S-inch on the Kuralna and
the lbuti. The japanese pre-dreadnoughts
are generally more modern than those of
other nations, all of them having been
built since 1900 and all having speeds of
from Is to p knots

cludes at present only the seven dread

Remembering that dreadnought ship
includes nothing less than 12~inch guns in
its main battery, it will be understood that
the five French battleships of the Mirabeau
class which mount four l2-inch and twelve
94-nch guns, cannot be considered avail
able for the first line. Like the Japanese
British Lord Nelson classes, these vessels
must be reckoned in the pre- dreadnought
class. which fer the French navy includes
a total of eleven ships Of obsolete ves-
sells the French navy possesses three.
Italy
Similarly to the French navy, the Italian
navy had under construction when the war
started some powerful dreadnoughts If
which the keels had been laid but upon
which all work was stopped during the war.
These are the four ships of the Colombo
class, $4,000 tons, twenty ive-knot speed.

dreadnought battleshipe in commission are

terry of twelve 12-inch guns the others a
battery of thirteen l2-inch guns mounted
