'Googol' Explained To Math Students By LARKY MARKS “Our number system (1, 2, 3, 4 . . .) is the simplest positive in finite scale,” Shirley Anderson said, talking on the mathematical concept of infinity at the second Pi Mu Epsilon-sponsored math club meeting Tuesday. Infinity is not just a large num ber. No matter how large a num ber chosen, one can be added to it and a larger number is obtained. There is a gap between large num bers and the infinite. Even a “goo gol” (one followed by 100 zeros) does not approach infinity. “One of the strange things about infinity is that g,t .jpfinity the whole is no larger^tlikn'{tome of its parts,” Miss Anderson informed the members and.-pmved her state ment by use of a one to one cor respondence. Another concept proven by means of projection was that a line an inch long has as many points as a line which would stretch around the equator.

Municipal Electric and Water Utilities The "Talkinq Fence" ^^>u're rolling along through mountain ous western country. Suddenly your train stops. Ahead—a signal light has turned red. The "talking ience" has flashed its warning to the engineer. Technically known as the "slide detector fence", it is erected parallel to Union Pa cific tracks as a protection against falling rocks, trees or other possible obstruc tions. Any such object striking the fence breaks an electrical contact, "setting up" signals miles down the track to warn trains approaching in either direction. A trainman must then make a thorough inspection before trains can proceed. Union Pacific uses every possible precau tion to safeguard its passengers and freight ... troops and war materials ... transported over its Strategic Middle Route uniting the East with the Pacific Coast. The "talking fence" is but one of the many safety devices developed by our nation's railroads. Such improvements result from enterprise and initiative; characteristic American traits that built the Union Pacific ... that built Your America, land of equal opportunity for all.
