The reason why ten is a favorite—per haps the most favorite—number is obvious enough, namely, that we have ten tinkers. When we begin to count we almost of ne cessity do so with our lingers; if we have a large number of things to count, say a flock of sheep, we instinctively divide them into tens, or perhaps scores; if the number of thing's be very large the collec tion of tens are naturally grouped again by- teas, and so we have hundreds. A further grouping of hundreds leads to thousands, and so forth. Thus we get the ordinary system of numeration, und there can bo no manner of doubt that man’s ten fingers are the root of it. Wo are told in treatises on arithmetic that it would have been much more convenient if we had ag-eed to count by twelves instead of by tens: and possibly this may be true. But, if it lie, we have so much the more evidence, if evidence be needed, that the basis of the system of counting was not determined by theoret ical considerations, but by the simple ele mentary fact of the number of human digits being 10 and not 22. Nevertheless 12 has its turn as a favorite number; we often count by dozens, and the roiison probably is that 12 permits of being quar tered as well as halved, which is in ninny cases an advantage. Take the case of wine: A dozen bottles is a convenient quantity to take as a standard, because a customer can order half the standard number, or, if he needs a small quantity, a quarter of the same; iu fact, 12 admits of being divided not only by 2 aud 4, but also by 3 and 0, which for many pur poses give it a great advantage over iO, which can be divided only by 2 aud 6, the latter division being rarely of any use Hence the grout divisibility of 12 is stiffl eient to mark it os a favorite number; but In the most notnble instance of its use namely, as making the number of months in a year, wo need some further explana tion. The renl month, thnt is, the number of days between two successive full moons, may lie taken as measured by 28 days. Thirteen times 28 makes 364, or as nearly as may be, one year. Consequently ft would have been iniioh more nearly true to say that 13 months make a year than 12. The explanation is to be found, I con ceive, is tlie extremely awkward charac ter of t he number 13 ; it Is what is called by mathematicians a prime number, that is to say it admits of no division of any ; had there been 13 months in the year the half year and the quarter alike could not nave been reckoned by months, and consequently 12, which, as already explained, is one of the most convenient of numbers in the numbers in the matter of divisibility, was encouraged and per mitted to usurp the place which in all strictness belonged to its next-door neigh bor. There is a somewhat parallel cose with regard to the division of the circle into 3(10 degrees. The ancient Chinese mathematicians divided the circle into 8661 degrees, corresponding to the length of the year, or 3651 days, which number, though not exact, is very near the truth. But this division of t he circle is practically interminable; it would throw mathema ticians into despair; consequently the num ber 360, which admits of being divided by 4, by 60, by 00, and by many other num bers, usurped the place which the Chinese righteously assigned to the awkward num ber which nature suggested. “B0UC1H ON IIATS” Clears out rats, mice, roaches, flics, ants, bed-bugs, beetles, insects, skunks, jack rabbits, sparrows, gophers. 15o.
