The QUADRATURE OF THE CIRCLE.-IWo
or three DAYS ago we had an Interesting visit from
two gentlemen of Puerto Principe Cuba. Don LUIS
de la Tore SayaS. and Senior SeJano, who are now
in the city Senior dc Ia Tore, who IS an eminent
Cuban mathematician, claims to have discovered the
Quadrature of the Circle after deyotng more or less
of his attention to the subject during twenty years
He brings certificates OF the most fauerns charac-
ter from the authorities of Puerto Principe but
more palpablc evidence Is furnished by very nge-
NOUS mechanical contrvance whereby ne illustrates
his discovery 1t consists of pieces of metal cut INTO
such forms that precisely the same pieces, differently
disposed constitute either square circle hence
the area of the two figures must be precisely the
same Senior de la Tore processes 20 have discov-
ered tho true ratio the diameter and the side
of the square He also has a cup IN the form OF
truncated cone and from this, or from cylindrical
vessel will give the side of a square vessel OF the
same depth, which shall hold precisely the same
amount OF water The rules by which tins l. accom-
pshed are kept secret, 1t Is understood there are
several premiums in reserve in Europe, tonc We
believe by the British Government for the fortunate
dlscoverer of the Quadrature of the Circle Whether
senior de la Tore has discovered the whole secret or
not we cannot tell. but his experiments are certainly
very ingenious. and well worthy the attention of
/ those curious IN such abStruse matters.
