Mr John W Kirk, the white-haired vet
eran who was with Morse when the first
working telegraph line was stretched, and
who stood beside the great inventor when
the first aescage was transmitted from
Annapolis Junction to Washington, lias
made during his life a great many inter
esting calculations In numbers. The two
most remarkable numbers in the world are
hree and seven.
"The numeral seven," says Mr Kirk
the Arabians got from India, and all fol
lowing have taken It from the Arabians.
It Is conspicuous in biblical lore, being
mentioned over 300 times In the scriptures,
either alone or compounded with other
words. It seems a favorite numeral with
the Divine mind, outside as well as inside
the Bible, as nature demonstrates in many
ways, and all the other numerals bow to it.
There is also another divine favorite, the
number three.the Trinity. ThL is brought
out by a combination of figures that is
somen hp t remarkable. It is ti e six fig
ures 142,857.
"Multiply this by 2, the answer is 285,714.
"Multlplv this by 3,the answer is 428,571.
"Multiply this by 4, the answer is 571,42s.
"Multiply this by 5,the answer is 714,285.
"Multiply this by O.the answer Is 857,142
"Each answer contains the same figures
as the original sum, and no others, and
three figures of the sum remain together
In each answer, thus showing that figures
preserve the Trinity.
"Thus 2S5 appears In the first and seeonc
numbers, 57: in the second and third, 42S
In the third and fourth, and 142 in the
fourth and fifth.
"It is also Interesting to note that taking
out of any two of these sums the group of
three common to both, the other three,
read in the usual order, from left to rigltt,
will also be in the some order In both sums.
'Take the first and second snms, for ex-
, ample. The group 2S5 is common to both.
Having read 2S5 out of the second sum,
read right along and bring in the first fig
ure of the thousands last. It will read 714.
All the others will read in the same way.
"Again, note that the groups of three in
the first sum ard the same as the two
groups of three in the fourth reversed in
order, and that the same thing Is true of
the second and third. The last multipli
cation has its groups of threes the same as
those of the original number, reversed
again.
"Examine these results again, and you
will see that in these calculations all the
numerals have appeared save the 9. Now
multiply the original sum by the mighty
7 the divine fnvorite of the Bible and of
creation and behold the answer! The
last of the numerals, and that one only in
groups of three again the Trinity!

"No other combination of numbers wiU
produce th same results. Does not this
show the Imperial multipotent numeral 7
and its divinitv."
