The old gentleman then turned around
to tall, dark young man, standing
near, and said, carelessly.

Nora was called in and questioned !,
then the slipper was taken to the count
ing room, and placed upon the footprint
which it exactly fitted.
We left the smitten Harpe bowed down
with grief, and her father pacing the
floor like Gagged lion. A peal frcm the

The search was conducted with so much

spike at the end, one with his hands at
the other end, the other two shall place
their spike at q distance from the man
who has no spike equal TO one third of the
length OF the log; 80 that each shall bear
IN equal weight
First, Suppose they place their spike
at the centre, then the man without q
spike will bear a weight equal to the other
two at the other end.
Secondly. Place the spike at u distance
equal to One.third of the whole length Of
the log, and let the four men with spikes
bear the whole weight ofthe log; and sup.
pose the log to weigh 1000 pounds, and
TO DO 10 feet long; then the three feet pro-
jecting over will balance three feet on the
other side Of the spike, and the two men
will bear two.thirds Of the whole weight
Of the log, plus one-fourth OF the remain
ing third, which equals $50 pounds. The
two men at the end Of the log will bear a
weight equal to three. fourths OF one third
Of the whole log, or $50 pounds, because
the centre Of gravity between the men
with spikes would be one.and.a.half feet
from the end ofthe log, and four.and.n.half
feet from the other two men. Now let the
other man take hold Of the end Of the log,
which projects over feet and raise a
weighteqIal to one.fifth Of the whole log,
or 200 lbs, then the man with the spike
nearest to him, will be relieved Of weight
equal to 200 lbs, plus three-fourths Of 200
lbs, or $50 lbs, in all, because the center
Of gravity between the men with spikes is
# feet from the middle men and II feet
from the end Of the log; therefore, the
single man raising weight Of 200 lbs.
will relieve the men nearest to him Of n
weight OF $50 lbs, which will add to the
men at the other end 100 lbs, which
makes them NIL equal. @. E. D. HIS.
