ing to perceive that the paramount
needs is tocrease the worlds out

living of all laborers, by education to
increase their skill and their capac-

more and more realizing that the

How Figures Originated

The derivation of the Roman num-
erals is quite easy to understand.
They are based on the simple
principle of holding up the fingers
of one hand. Thus. l, II, III, ~. v,
and so on symbolic holding up one,
two. or three fingers, the succeeding
numbers by the fingers extended.
Further on, the c. is the initial let
ter of centum. Latin for hundred,
while NJ Is mile. for a thousand, and
so forth. The L. 8. 4, figures that
We generally use are called Arabic,
because the Arabians, when masters
of Spain, first brought them into
Europe. The usual theory is that
these were founded on the idea of
the square with strokes drawn
across. One dash straight down
makes the l. A diagonal line with
only the top and bottom of the
square left in makes a 2. while 8 is
a joining up of the two diagonal
lines to stroke drawn lengthways
through the square. And on this
square idea and the various angles
that could be made with different
lines through it, all our numbers
from ! to 9 can be worked out. The
square itself is the 0, and SO we
start tens, twenties, and so on.

English Shippers Disturbed
BY German Emigrant Rates

London, Jan. GA. P. by Mai)-
German shipping firms have re-es-
tablished the German mercantile ma
rine with such great success that
they are now reported to be threat
ening a rate war in the emigrant
traffic to South America, according
to London shipping circles.
The severe restrictions on immi-
grafton in the United States have d.
verted this traffic, particularly so far
as eastern and southern Europeans
are concerned, to Brazil. Argentina
and Uruguay. Emigration to these
countries amounted in normal times
to about 100000 persons yearly, but
double this number is foreseen, and it
is said that the German lines are
trying to corner the whole Of the
traffic for themselves by reducing the
passenger rates.

To Am. Jusserand

dor Jusserand Of France, left
Washington today after 90 years Of
diplomatic service, with warm
spontaneous au revoir yelling to-
ward him from an unusually large
crowd of the Capitol's residents who
had come, through the decades, to
know him as a friend.
Conscious of the part that he had
played for so long in keeping intact
the traditional friendship between
the two republics, and remembering
the dignified and enlightened man

foreign missions Eere, official, dip
lomatic and private Washington
gathered at the station in an effort
to express the regret and sense of
loss his retirement has caused.
The veteran diplomat, dean of the
corps in Washington, made his Of
fetal goodbye calls yesterday, and
had completed those of a more pri-
vate nature during recent weeks,
leaving him with no last minute
duties to perform today, so he spent
his Last hours here quietly at the
embassy.
The crowd that gathered on the
station platform to bid him good
bye was surprisingly large, howev +,
and gave abundant testimony of his
popularity. About a quarter of an
hour before the departure of his
train, the platform was already filled
with the Staffs of embassies and
legations presenting diplomatic
spectacle such as is rarely seen X
Cept at White House receptions. In
addition to the diplomats, Secretary
Weeks had already arrived to wish
his old friend a last goodbye. and
numerous other officials were on

Only a few minutes before the de-
parture of the train NJ. and Nine.

Joseph G. Grew, Under Secretary of

group of friends, including rmer
Associate Justice Joseph McKenna
and number of senators and repre-
sentatives, who had Joined them n
the waiting room.
Their arrival brought the crowd
waiting on the platform surging for
ward in the hope of final hand
shake or word Of farewell. The
time was short but the retiring am
bassador did their best, and proceed
cd slowly to the car where numer-
Gus bouquets had been placed l..
admirers.
The train was on the verge of
starting when they reached their
compartment and the hiss of the
engine gave the signal for the out
burst of cheers that sent them fin
ally on the first stage of their jour
ney. Their schedule called for only
a brief stay In New York. visit to
friends in Boston, and then, Jan
uary Is, departure from New York
for France.

To Observe Sun Spots

A very small telescope, or even an
ordinary field glass or opera glass,
Will afford the reader a view Of sun
spots at a time of solar activity. The
safest way to observe them is to
point the instrument at the sun and
focus the eyepiece until sharp
image Of it's disk. several inches in
diameter, is projected on a surface
OF smooth white cardboard held at q
distance of from two to four feet.
The spots can easily be distinguished
from specks on the eyepiece by no.
ticing that they move with the SUMS
image. At present we are Just
emerging from period of solar calm
during which no spots have been
seen for weeks at a time. But a
new cycle of activity has already be-
gun. and few spots are beginning
to appear. The reader hardly needs
to be warned that if he wishes to
look directly with his telescope, field
glass or opera glass he must protect
his eyes with the blacklist of smoked
glass. as the intensely bright image
would otherwise seriously injure
them.-By George Ellerry Hale in
Scribner's.
