WHY THRU ARE JUST
60 MINUTES IN EVERY HOUR
The division of an hour into
sixty minutes is of ancient Baby
Ionic origin and has survived the
reforms applied to notation in the
course of the world’s progress.
Along with the decimal system in
undent Babylon there was the sex
agesimal system based upon the
count by sixties and originating in
the discovery that there is no num
ber which has so many divisors as
siyty. It c-sn be divided by 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 10, If, 15 and 20.
Babylonia:..* divided the sun s
path . in v ' inn«»r; the latter
1 epres°ilting about 4 1-2 miles. The
astronomers of that day compared
the progress of the sun during one
hour to the progress made by a
good walker during the same pe
riod of time, each accomplishing
one para sang.
The whole course of the sun was
24 parasangs, or 360 degrees, ano"
each parasang or hour was sub
divided into 60 minutes.
Hipparchus, the Greek philoso
pher, who lived 150 B. C. introduc
ed the Babylonian hour into Eu
rope, and carried along by tra
ditional knowledge down through
the Middle ages, it survived the
French revolution, which endeavor
ed to reduce every measure to de
cimal system of reckoning, so that
the measure of time continues
sexagesimal - or Babylonian.

HOW LONG THE WORLD LIVE
The duration of life upon the
earth is a problem which Veronet,
the’ eminent French mathematian,
attacks just as he would any other
problem in the science to which he
is devoted. His calculations lead
to the conclusion that the earth is
pretty likely to last as long as
we who are now upon its surface.
He excludes some theories of the
final catastrophe as unlikely. He
can not think, for instance, that the
end is to come as the result of a
collusion with other heavenly body.
It is quite unlikely that the carbon
in the atmosphere is to be elimin
ated, thereby rendering the climate
too cold to -'upport life. Neither
does he admit the probability of
a gradual disappearance of water
from one sphere.
The controlling, if not the only
factor in the final destruction of
• fe unon the globe is to he the
Mss of the heat in the suns rays
The heath from the earth’s center
is a negligible factor in the pro
blem. Such heat, indeed, is hard
ly appreciable, now that the sur
face of the globe has so solidified.
Two million years ago, according
;o his calculations, the sun’s heat
was powerful enough to create
a temperature of 90 degrees, cen
tigrade, at the 80th parallel. Of
course no life could exist unaei
under such conditions.
Turning in the other direction he
figures that two million years
which has been gradually decreas
ing will not be sufficient to maintain
a temperature of zero at the equator
and life upon the glob will not
tie imposible
His theory is that life began at
the poles. It has been slowly drift
ing towards the equator ever since
as the sun’s rays have decreased in
lieath. The movement is to con
tinue until the race makes its last
stand and slowly succumbs to the
deadly cold that will leave the
world a frozen waste.
The manyr who are convinced by
his reasoning find much comfort
in the very evident proposition that
two million years constitute a
rather extended period.
