A German statistical scientist, in an
article in the Magdeburg Zeitnng, calls
attention to the remarkable attributes
of the year 1898. No man in the present
generation has lived or will live under
such peculiar circumstances, a condi
tion that has not appeared since the
year 1651 and will not appear again
until the year 2119. People imbued
with a superstitions belief and mem
bers of 13 clubs ought to watch closely
the events of this remarkable year.
As a starter, the numeral 1898 can be
divided by 13. and the four figures added
together gives 26, which can also be
divided by 13. The numeral of the year
1898 also belongs to the remarkable
group of four-sided numbers, of which
only eight have existed since the birth
of Christ. 1898 being the ninth. Take
1898, for example. Subtract the first
figure from the third and the value of
the second and fourth are received.
Those peculiar year numbers have been
1010. 1121. 1232, 1343. 1454, 1565. 1670.
1787. and now 1898. The last time the
peculiar condition of 13 existed was in
1651. This could evenly be divided by
13. and the figures, 1, 6, 5, 1 added to
gether give 13.
WHY YOU '«SEE STARS.”
Cause of the Singular Sensation Ei-
perieuced by Receiving a Blow
on the Head.
If a man falls so as to strike his head
violently on the ice or on the pavement,
or if he gets a blow over the eye he is
said to “see stars.” The cause of this
curious phenomenon is found in i pe
culiarity of the optic nerve. The func
tion of that nerve is to convey to the
brain the impression of light. It rec
ognizes nothing in the world but light.
It is susceptible to no other impres
sion, or. if acted upon by any other
agent, it communicates to the brain the
intelligence of the presence of that
agent by sending along its fiber flashes
of light only. Irritate this nerve with
a probe or other instrument and it con-
veys no sensation of pain, but simply
that of luminous sparks. The pain of
the blow on the eye or the fall on the
head is realized through the nerves of
general sensation; but. insusceptible
to pain or other feeling, the optic nerve
sends to the brain ita report of the
shock by fleshes, sparks and “stars.
