There exists, floating about the world in a verbal form, and oecasion- ally cven appearing in print, a certain ¢ of Propositions or Queries, of which the object is to puzzic the wits of the unwary listener, or to beguile him into giving an absurd reply. Many of these are very old, and are exeellent. Instanees will readily occur.

But the purpose of the following paper is to illustrate a class of problems of rather a different kind. There are certain problems which are in no way catch questions (any problem involy- ing a mere verbal quibble is of course out of court by its own innate vile- ness), and which, though at first sight extremely simple, often require con- siderable ingenuity to arrive at a cor- rect result. Take for example the fol- lowing: “A man walks round a pole, en the top of which is a monkey. As the man moves, the monkey turns round on the top of the pole so as still to keep face to face with the man. Query: When the man has gone round the pole, has he, or has he not, gone round the monkey?"’ The answer which will occur at first sight to most persons is that the man has not gone round the monkey, since he has never been behind it. The cor- rect answer, however, as decided by Knowledge, in the pages of which this momentous question has been argued, is that the man Aas gone round the monkey in going round the pole. The following has not, so far as the writer is aware, hitherto appeared in print: “A train standing on an in- cline is j ust kept stationary by an en- gine whieh is not sufficiently powerful to draw it up the incline.

For at first sight it appears evident that both the top and bottom of the wheel must of necessity be moving forward at the same rate, namely, the speed at which the carriage is traveling. But a little thought will show that this is far from being the case. A point on the bot- tom of the wheel is, in fact, by the di- rection of its motion round the axis, moving backward, in an opposite di- rection to that in which the carriage is prog and is consequently station ee; while a point on the top of the wheel is moving for- ward, with the double velocity of its own motion round axis and the speed at which the carriage moves. The following paradox, which has given rise to munch discussion what akin to the precedin a ship sail faster than Every yachtsman knows that a ship can sail faster than essing, is some- How can to say, if the w knots an honr, a ship may king twelve or fifteen kno it is obvious th straight before the wi the utmost, trav ind itself is blowing fact, it will If, on tl Taster the than —aus a matter travel much i re oth » wind, it seems the wind must act before, and the ship in more slowly still. But, as a matter of fact, the ship than with le<s effect consequence sail not only sails more quickly than be- fore, but move quickly than the wind itself is blowing. his is a paradox which few, even of these who are well the to with able acquainted fact) explain. Let us consider the difficulty in the by found experience themselves light of the following experiment: Piace a ball at one side of a billiard table, and with the long cue held lengthwise, from end to end of the table, push the ball across the cloth. The cue here represents the wind, and the ball the ship sailing directly before it; only as there is here no waste of energy, which in the ease of the wind and ship is very great, the ball, of travels at the same rate as the eue—evidently it can not possibly travel faster. Now, suppose a groove to be eut diagonally across the table, from one corner pocket to the other, in which the ball may roll. If the ball be now placed at one end of the groove, and the cue held horizontally and moved forward as before, the ball will travel along the groove (and along the cue) in the same time as the cue takes to move across the table. This is the case of the ship sailing at an angle with the direction of the wind. The groove is considerably longer than the width of the table, more than double as long, in fact The ball, therefore, travels much fast- er than the cue which impels it, since it covers more than double the dis- tance in the same time. It is in precise- ly the same manner that a tacking ship is enabled to sail faster than the wind. The foregoing mysteries of motion bring to mind the famous paradox of Zeno, by which he sought to prove that all motion is impossible. ‘tA body," thus argues the ingenious philoso- pher, ‘must move either in the place where it is, or in the place where it is not. Now, a body in the place where itts is stationary, and can not be in motion; nor, obviously, can it be in motion in the place where it is not Therefore, it can not move at all."’ It was of this paradoxit was said, solvitur ambulando—‘‘It is solved by walk- ing.’ A more practical solution could hardly b> required.

He then left the room, and announced to the landlady that he had killed Mrs. Unker, exclaiming: “My God, I love her better than my life!” An officer was called, and young Watterson surrendered himself, was journeying from San Francisco to New York?” It appears obvious at the first glance that the traveler must meet seven trains, and this is the answer which will be given by nine people out of ten to whom the question is new. The fact is overlooked that every day dur- ing the journey a fresh train is start- ing from the other end, while there are seven on the way to begin with. The traveler will therefore meet not seven trains, but fouricen.

The date has now arrived when even the easy going oracles at Brussels calculated that some news would he reached from Mr. Stanley. But not a sylable comes out of the wilderness into which he plunged after quitting the Aruwimi many months ago. From that moment he has been as hidden from view as if he had accompanied Jules Verns on a voyage to themoon. Weknow absolutely nothing of his journey from that time; all the intelligence subsequently received has been of & conjectural sort resting on no basis of fact. That his prolonged silence should give rise to anxiety both here and on the continent is only in the nature of things. But he hasex- tricated himself before now from even more awkward positions, and we feel every confidence that he will eventually turn up safe and sound, perhaps at some entirely unexpected Mixing Politics With Religion. A minister visiting a congress- man’s family in the West End con- ducted family prayers the first morn- ing after his arrival, at which the congressman was not present, and the small boy of the house inter- viewed him at breakfast. “What was that you prayed for?” he inquired, abruptly. “Why Johnnie,” expostulated the mother, “you must—” “Oh, let him go on,” said the min- ister, with a smile; “I love to hear these innocent little prattlers.
