AN ODD NUMBEP.. Every ether number is au odd number, of course, but one of the oddest of al the odd numbers is 7. 1 could not detail ail its peculiarities in the space that the editur would permit me tu occupy ; but I can oel attention to one, ot least, which is worthy t.he notice net enly of boys and girls who like to ceai with the curiositios of numbers, but of mathemnaticiaus aise. Taise any twu-fizurecl multiple of 7-that is, any numrber of two figures that is pro- duced by the multiplication of 7 by enother number-say 14, 42, 98, 35, 63, 56; multiply the left-hand number by 5, the righit-hand by 4 ; add the products, and the snm is another multiple of 7. Thus, taise 21 (a multiple of 'i): 2x5=10 4x1 4 14= 2 times 7. Taise 98, a mnultiple 9 x 545 4 x8 32 77=11 times 7. Taise 35, a multiple: 3 x5 13k a x4 20 35= 5 times 7 In the case of a multiple ot three figures, as 105, 413, 315 2 3, etc., multiply the two le! t-hand figures by 5, and add 4 times the right-hand figure. Tho sum o! the pro'lucts is a multiple of 7. Taise 833, which is a multiple of 7 83 x5 =41.5 3x4 -12 427=61 tiines 'j Taise 525, which. le a multiple: 52 x5 260 ,5x4 -20 280 = 40 timu s 7.
