Mathematical.


Going the rounds this winter, as we'll as last, Is
the following mathematical paradox, and far as
I can learn, without satisfactory solution:
Two men, and B. contracted to dig 100 rods
ofditch. WAS toreceive bits per rod and B Z
They were to perform the work, in proportion to
price, that they might receive equal amounts of the
proceeds. Their conclusion Was, that, as bits
plus bits were equal to l6 bits, or 81 for rods,
they should receive Just 500 for digging the 100
rods--a grand mistake. The question then arose,
how MANY rods must each dig2
Taxing the 800 as basis they found that A
must dig A 40 rods, and B 50 IL rods. But
the proof was not satisfactory, for A. plus 81
II equal l0l 37-63. Finding no mistake in their
work they were somewhat puzzled, yet concluded
TO try it again, using the 100 rods as basis with
the following result +: 100 rods divided IN proper
tion OF Z to gives AZ 3-4 plus 81 IA equal 40,
which numbers of rods multiplied by the respec>
tive prices give to each 1927 and to both
S9S43 81.
Although the last was a correct solution. the
number OF dollars to he received was not equal to
the number of rods to be dug and therefore not
equal to their expectations, and we may conclude
~ they found no mistake in their work, tue result
was not even as satisfactory as the first.
They now resolved to solve 1t the third time,
Int with the pick and shovel, aud leave the math

Ii we make the statement:-for 100 rods they

is to be performed in such proportion that as Of
ten as receives bits i shall receive bits, we
have the same division Of rods as the parties in
their second solution but to add that they viii
receive certain price per rod, when the whole |
number Of rods and the price of the whole number
declare positively otherwise is simply absurd.

Inveiglement of Girls into Houses
of Prostitution. e
[From the Toronto. Globe

A painful rumor was in circulation
through the city yesterday to the effect that
several girls of a tender age had been Sc
duced from their homes TO a notorious house
of ill-fame in this city. On inquiry into
the matter, one of our reporters found that
the fearful story was only too true, and,
though he could not learn the full facts of
the case, the following was elicited:
Some week or ten days ago, a person
keeping house of ill-fame on Parliament
street, commonly called ''Castle Thunder, {"
went to Rochester. He there formed q sort
of partnership witha notorious 'sprocuress," |"
for the purpose of enticing a number Of In
nocent girls into dissolute life. The two
aYcouple of days succeeded in persuading
six girls to come overto Toronto with them,
under the pretence that they were to obtain
steady emf ioyment and high wages in a
respectable establishment here. On arriv-
ing at the Union Station, the girls were
placed In cabs, and driven directly to "Cas-
tie Thunder" where they soon discovered
that they had been deceived, and that they
were inmates of a house of the worst de-
scription. Some of them wished to be al
lowed at once to return home, but of course
were not permitted to do so, and so closely
were they watched that escape was impos-
sible. There they were kept for several
days, without q friend to assist or protect
them, while the scenes they were compelled
to witness, and the temptations they were
even by themselves. sufr3bll

Operations of a U. s. detective.

A few months ago couple of men called
upon DR.. Biggs, resident of Mitchell, in
this county, and desired private interview
with him. DR.. Biggs conducted them to a
private room, when to his surprise they
locked the door, and one drew a pistol and
the other knife. They told him that they
had a warrant for his arrest, for passing
counterfeit money, but if he would pay
them $1,000 they would let him off. DR..
Biggs gave them $500 in cash and his note
for the balance. After keeping him in the
room until train time they left. The Doc
tor consulted his lawyer, and they agreed
to say nothing about it, hoping the men
would return to collect the note. On last
Saturday one of them returned to collect
his money. DR.. Biggs had him arrested,
and he was recognized in the sum of $1,000
to appear at the Circuit Court. After the
trial the man showed warrant for the ar
rest of DR.. Biggs, stating that he was a
United States detective. He arrested the
Doctor and took him to indianapolis. We
will refer to this occurrence again as soon
as we learn the result of it.-Bedford, Ind,
