l. Find the number of cubic inches in each cone,
then find the diameter of second cone according to
the principle that the contents of similar solids to
to each other the cubes of their like dimensions.
Then divide three times the contents of the second
by the of its base, which gives the perpen
dicular height. Then find slant height by extracting
the square root of the of the of the radius
and perpendicular height. Multiply the circumfer
ence of the base by slant height and take onehaf of
the product the qotient will be the surface in square
inches.
,. Extract the square root of half the of the
squares of the two ends the result will be the width
where it is off. Divide the length by the differ

the difference between the width where it is cut off
and the smaller end, the product will be the length of

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. %. 1879.
The lew variety theatres of Philadelphia are having
n rough time OF 1t just now. Last Monday night
the police raided upon the Arcade Garden Theatre. a
cheap and nasty establishment, and arrested every
body found engaged in the establishment. This
morning Harry d. Guion the stage manager of tho
place. was convicted Of keeping disordcry house
and maintaining nuisance. Sentence was deferred,
but his punishment will be Guion In really
not the chief offender in this ease. the propretors OF
the place being two brothers named Sherman. but
they have managed to keep out OF the clutches OF he

power to break ny the low theatres "a promptly as
he wishes to. Several years ago law was passed
requiring all places of amusement TO be licensed by
the Mayor. and last year when complaints were made
against some OF these places the Mayor refused to
grant a license. The matter Was taken into Court,
and IL decided that under the law the Mayor had
no discretionary power. The consequence was
that all establishments processing to be places
of amusement, whether good or bad, had TO be
licensed npon the payment OF the required fee The
recent case ot Robert Fox. who had performance at
his theatre on sunday evening under the pretext that
IL was dress re hcarsa and was arrested and held
