The following are my answers TO the
questions in the STANDARD of April /,
by De SoTo;--The tail of the COW
weighs 3 "a lbs; the heads "a plus
the legs; thelegs-7-9 of the head and
tail; that is TO OF 8 3-4 plus 10 of
the legs plus 7-9of 3,3-4+7-9 of the
legs plus 1915 lbs. 90 or the weight
of the legs=7-9 of the legs plus 35-6
hence, 20 of the legs-35-6, 10
35-12, 9-9-3l5-12-26 IA lbs, the
weight of the legs. The head-26 Ia
lbs 6he legsl plus 8 3-4 lbs. (the taiD
80 lbs, The body equals IA SO times
the head, legs, and tail, 80 plus 26 Ia
plus 3 3-4=6O 4l4 5-6-S9O lbs, the
weight of the body; 800 plus 80 plus
26 IA plus3 3-4-95O lbs, the weight
of the COW. rY,t M,.i.r5 g.. .tgno,
IF a man feet in hight would walk
once around the earth on the equator
how much further would his head move
than his feet The diameter of the
circle described by his head, is l2 feet
longerthan of thatdescribed by his feet,
hence the circumference OF the circle
described by his head is 12 X 3.l416
greater than that described by his feet;
hence, his head moves 37699t feet fur
ther than his feet If the above is in
your estimation worthy of place in
your paper, please insert it; if not, fol-
low the suggestion of Mr.. Evans, and
throw it into the ftScrap Basket"

EDITOR STANDARD Your cores
pondent "ORIoN" is informed that the
answer (which / sent to the $50, 900
question, is within a mill of the true
answer. And if there had been no
mistake in the printing of the solution
ii certainly would have been "lucid"
enough to mind Of ordinary capacity.
The critic says, "His attempted soluL
ton ofthe question of 100 animals and
$l00 is also unsatisfactory" A better
knowledge of Arithmetic would be a
benefit to the carper. 'DE SoTo \
Below is a copy of the solution I
sent, with the words and figures printed
incorrectly or omitted, marked. Z l7g
One dollar at per cent simple inter-
est for s, g, 10 and l9 years, will amount
to $1,3O, $1.4S, $I,60 and $1.72 re-
spectively. Find the least
common multiple Of 100,
14S, 100 and 170 and d.
vide ii By each number respectively, and
take such a part Of $4,000, as each quo
tient is part of the sum Of the quo
tientS. This gives the first answer,
$500 665, $5O96. 935, $47l4.665, and
$4385.7.35 Each of these sums at in
terest for 5,8, 10 and 12 years, amounts
to 754346. '' 7'' a-"
