 5", and multiply it by 1.86, the corresponding number under P, 

 result : 



i.86]/53.o=i3.+ 



Next take the square root of 39.1, the second number under S, 

 and multiply it by 2.14, the corresponding value for P, and the 

 result is again 13. + Proceeding in like manner with the follow- 

 ing pairs of numbers we obtain 



1. 86]/ 53. 0=13. + 

 2.141/39.1=13- + 

 2.341/32.9=13.+ 

 2.621/25.9=13.-1- 



4.84i/.8.3=:i3.-l- 

 5. 381/6. 7=13. -f- 



The exact values are found in the last column of our table, 

 short, we have quite uniformly
