Numbers That People
Prefer.

THERE has been announced in
France the result of curious in
vestigation concerning the preferred
numbersy of the inhabitants of differ
ent countries. The basis Of the in
vestigation is a study Of the various
denominations Of money. postage
stamps and other measures.
1t appears that nearly all races
show a marked preference for the
numbers "two." three" and ''hve."
their multiples. But the Moham-
medans avoid the number three"
Neither in Turkey nor in Persia, it
appears, does one find a trace OF this
number, and it is scarcely found in
Egypt.
Among the French and other Latin
peoples two" and Ave" are more
popular than three" while the Eng
lish prefer two" and three and the
German three" and five"
The Chinese resemble the Latin
race in their choice. while the people
of India have strong liking Tor
"two." The number seven" is most
used in Russia and other Slavic coun-
tries. The higher numbers are not
much used except in Spanish coun-
tries, as eleven" in Salvador, seven
teen" in Mexico, nineteen" in Spain.
and "thirty-one" in Guatemala. The
people Of Hawaii are said to be quite

THE MIRRORS OF DOWNING STREET


be patiently and orderly educated to-
ward noble ideals, but rather a herd
to be stampeded of sudden in the
direction which he himself has as
suddenly conceived to be the direction
THE true measure Of his shortcomings
may be taken by seeing how a
man exercising such enormous power,
power repeated day by day. and al
most every hour of the day, might
have prepared the way for disarma-
ment and peace. might have made os-
tentation look like a crime. might
have brought capital and labor into a
given to the moral ideals of the
noblest sons of men If not an intel
lectual impulse at least a convincing
advertisement.
All the same. it is the greatest mis-
take for his enemies to declare that
he is nothing better than a cynical
egoist trading on the enormous ig-
norance OF the English middle-classes.
He is boy, full of adventure, full of
romance. and full of whims, seeing
life as the finest fairy tale in the
world. and enjoying every incident
that comes his way, whether it be
the bitterest and most cruel of fights
or the opportunity Of doing some one
a romantic kindness.
You may see the boyfshness of his
nature in the devotion with which he
threw himself first into bicycling,
then into motoring, and then into fly
ing. He loves machinery. He loves
every game which involves physical
risk and makes severe demands on
courage. His love of England is not
his love of her merchants and work
men. but his love of her masculine
youth.
He has been generosity itself to his
brothers, with all Of whom he does
not. unfortunately. get on as well as
one could wish. The most beautiful
thing in his life is the love he cher
ishes for his mother, and nothing de-
lights him SO much as taking away
her breath by an act of astonishing
devotion. A man SO generous and so
boyish may make grave mistakes, but
he cannot be a deliberately bad man.

Chinese Fossil Teeth.

A N European Investigator has made
- a singular collection of fossil
teeth from drug stores in various
parts of China, where they are sold
under the name of dragons teeth and
are valued for their supposed curative
powers 81
Upon examining them it was found
by this investigator that they are the
remains of many species Of extinct
animals, such as the ancestral forms
of camels, saber-toothed tigers, three
toed horses and other creatures of
ancient times, some of which, like the
ancestral forms Of camels and ante
lopes, were supposed to have had
their original home in America and in
Africa. Judging from the quantities
Of these teeth sold. the Investigator
thinks they must exist In enormous
numbers in some parts OF China.

Strange Moon Rays.
pUIsEUx. the distinguished seleno

DUISEUX, the distinguished selenog-
rapher Of the Paris observatory.
some time ago reached the conclusion
that the curious rays or bands ex-
tending in straight lines away from
many lunar craters. such as the cele-
brated tycho. are produced by the
deposition of volcanic ashes carried to
great distances by the winds that
happened to prevai1 when the erup-
tion occurred.
He accounts for the relative mar
rowness of these bands, which are
never more than thirty miles broad,
although their length is sometimes
many hundred miles. by supposing
that only the central axis of the de-
posit has remained, the less dense bor-
ders having been destroyed by the
denuding forces of the air when the
moon had a considerable atmosphere.
