FIGURES FOR THE YEAR.

Ifatheoutical Facta la Relating to xflflff— Mnat Be a Xaocot Philip G. Moses sends in some mathematical facts in relation to the figures contained in 1899. It seems that the new year contains the number 9 in a great many combinations, several of which are pointed out by Mr. Moses as follows in the Chicago News: Add the first two figures and the sum equals each of the last two figures—l plus 8 equals 9. Add the last two figures and the sum equals the first two figures—9 equals 18. Add the first three figures and the sum equals the first two figures—l plus 8 plus 9 equals 18. Add the first, second and fourth figures, and the sum equals the first two figures—l plus 8 plus 9 equals 18. ’Add aH four figures and they make a multiple of each of the last two figures—l plus 8 plus 9 plus 9 equals 27. " Subtract the first figure from each of the last two figuresand the remainder presents the second figure—--9 minus 1 equals 8. Subtract the first figure from each of the last two figures and the remainder represents the second figure—9 minus 1 equals 8. Subtract the second figure from each oPthe last two figuros and the remainder* represents the first figure —9 minus 8 equals 1. Subtract either of the last two figures from the first two and the remainder equals either of the last two figures—lß minus 9 equals 9. Subtract the first two figuree from the last two figures and the remainder represents the first two figures reversed—99 minus 18 equals 81. Multiply the last two figures and the result represents the nrst two figures reversed—9 times 9 equals 81. . Multiply the last three figures, add the result and the sum represents the first two figures 9 times 9 times 8 equals 648; 6 plus 4 plus 8 equals 18. Multiply the last two figures by the first two figures, add the result, and the sum represents the first two figures—99 tunes 18 equals 1,782; 1 plus 7 plus 8 plus 2 eqfiais 18. Multiply the last two figures by the second figure, add the result, and the sum represents the first two figures—99 times 8 equals 782; 7 plus 9 plus 2 equals 18. Multiply the last two figures and to the result add the first two figures, and the total represents the last two figures—9 times 9 equals 81; 81 plus 18 equals 99. Multiply the third figure by the second figure, add the first figure, multiply the sum by the fourth figure, add the result, and the total reprerents the first two figures—9 times 8 equals 72; 72 plus 1 equals 73; 73 times 9 equals 657; 6 plus 5 plae 7 equals. 18.
