WHY:
Minutes and Hours Came to Be
Computed at Sixty

Sixty seconds make a minute, 60
minutes make an hour" You used
TO say that as often as you did 10
mills make q cent, 10 cents make Q
dime and 10 dimes make a dollar"
1t is believed, In fact, certain learned
men have said II has been proved that
the scheme Of dividing the hour into
60 parts and the minute into 90 parts
was invented or devised by the ancient
Babylonians long centuries before the
Christian era. 1t is one Of the ways
Of counting time which has gone IN
changed during the past 5000 or TO-
600 years.
Along with the decimal system In an
cient Babylon there was the sexagesi-
NAL system based upon the count by
sixties and originating In the discovery
that there is no number which has so
many divisions as GO, for it can be
divided without q remainder by 2, 3.
4. 5, 6, 10. II, Is, 20 and 80.
Babylonians divided the suns path
Into "A parasangs, q parasang being
about four and a half-miles. The as
tronomers of that time In Babylon
compared the progress Of the sun dur
ing one hour to the progress that
would be made by a good walker in
the same length Of time. each going
about one parasang, or four and one
half miles. Thus the whole course
OF the sun, SO the wise astronomers
Of Babylon thought, was "a parasangs
or 800 degrees or "a hours, and each
parasang or hour was divided into 60
parts, which we call minutes.
The story is that Hipparchus, the
Greco philosopher, who lived a century
and half before Christ, introduced
the HabylOnian hour into Europe and
we rave counted the time OF day in
seconds, minutes and hours ever since.

Those who have either called ON the

their enthusiasm about this gift-giv-

these two, brand new automobiles and
the many hundreds Of dollars in cash
prizes were to be given away i'm such

that the Sl,765.00 REQ, the S591.OO

WE CAN'T READ ALL THE
LETTERS BUT SANTA CAN

Letters to dear old Santa Claus
are flooding the mail of the Gazette
lust now as the children are ask
ing for the little things they want
to make their Christmas JOY COM
plete Included in the mail this
morning was a letter from one
who is yet too young to make his
wants clearly known to us through
the medium Of pencil and paper.
With blissful ignorance of the
art of writing the dear little man
has grasped his pencil fearlessly
and put upon paper that which we
who are older and more educatedly
ignorant cannot read In hero
glyphic characters he has made his
wants known. The copy was given
the printers but they shook their
heads mournfully and passed it
