THE SUNDAY CALL. SOLVE THE FAIRY RIDDLE IN THE PAINT PICTURE BELOW AND WIN A PRIZE C NCE upon a time Christopher Columbus, who, if you remember your history well, discovered America, made a very deep impression upon the wise men of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella’s court, who did not believe that the world was round, as Columbus claimed, and failed. Of course, you all know that trick now. by showing them the simple trick of making an egg stand on end, after they had all tried ’ Well, here is another trick that is peculiarly applicable to the solution of the brand-new Fairy Riddle and Paint Picture printed on fln.!m half of this page. Read %his through to the very last line and you will quickly see how this famous motto of Uncle Sam’s will help you. The trick, which will afford you very much amusement at the same time, is how to make corks float vertically. Of course, you know that vertically means straight up and down. A wash basin or a bathtub and seven corks are all the apparatus needed for this experiment, and it will, I hope, be none the less interesting on account of its sim- plicity. The problem is, then, how to cause these corks to float vertically. Everybody knows that an ordinary cork, being considerably longer than it is broad, is forced to float, when put in water, upon its long side. How can we make it float upon its head? Place one of the corks on end on the table; surround it with the other six, all upon end; take these seven corks compactly in one hand and plunge them under water, so as to moisten them completely. Remove your hand and let them take their own position because their united width is greater than their length. in the water. The water that has penetrated the corks will cause them to cling together, This effect of capillary cohesion amusingly demonstrates that “IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH.” SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY NEW FOR 50 SPECIAL PRIZES absolutely new in the puzzle-page line.
