mathematics the solution was impossi-
BILE if the last two figures were reversed.
Nevertheless, the great Am erican pub
lie kept on trying, but utterly without
success. 1t was national emergency.
Whether possible or not, the solution
had to be found in order to save the
public. The Herald had forseen this,
and had selected reporter with a
mathematical mind to solve the puzzle.
The reporter worked at first as other
men worked, but afterward be labored
with the energy of desperation. He
consumed valuable time with utter dis
regard of it's value. He well nigh
ruined a valuable brain, but he found
solution. After exhausting himself In
vain to reach the final solution, after
reversing the order of the IA and Is
with the board in the original position,
he made an entirely new arrangement.
Changing the position of the board it.
self so that the left-hand side (along
which in the diagram are ranged the
numbers / 5 8 13) came into the posi-
tion of the top, he fond the puzzle an
easy one. So will any one else who
tries it. Investigating little further,
he found he could do it by putting the
rightrhand side of the board at the top.
So can any one else who will try it.
All that in necessary to do the fifteen
puzzle is to work it down to the first or
second position named. II the first
position is reached, the puzzle is
solved. If the second position is
reached, turn tho board one-ouarter
way round, so that one of the sides be-
comes the top, and the top the bottom
become the two sides. and the arrange
ment is easy.
Before showing the solution to DR..
Wander Weyde, the reporter got from
him statement of the mathematical
laws governing the puzzle. DR.. Wander
Weyde used the following diagram in
illustrating his statement:
The Northern Pacific farmer., 1880-03-18

ment meant to punish all violations of
law and all departments from loyalty,
with impartial vigor. Mr.. Seward in
dulged in good deal OF lively ridicule
of Mr.. Greeley's proposition to make
Switzerland the arbiter of our destiny,
"a Republic half Prussian and half
French. half Catholic and half Protes-
tant, held together only by outward
pressure, and represented at Washing
ton by a Consul General who kept q
"four and feed store," near the Capitol,
who knew no more Of the necessities and
condition of our National existence
than he did of the politics of the moon.
Mr.. Bancroft, who had fallen asleep
during the more serious part of the
Secretary's exposition, awoke at this
sally and expressed the opinion that i,
would be much better to ridicule Mr..
Greeley out of crotchets than to send
him to Fort Lafayette. The rest of the
company, however, thought the matter
one of too much gravity for such treat
ment. Mr.. Seward said that. Mr.. Mer-
cier (the French Minister) knew Mr..
Greeley as prominent and influential
supporter of the Administra,ion,-as
having in fact almost dictated its policy
upon several most important subjects; !;
and it would be very natural for him to
receive Mr.. Greeley's representations
as proofs that, in spite of the assurance
of the Secretary of State, the people
would not be wholly averse to foreign
Intervention.

EUREKA!

. The Popular but Perlexing Problem
Solved at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
-F0urteen''-A Game that Has Puz.
zled Philosophers and Pleased the
Multitude.
New York Herald.
Fifteen is q puzzle of seeming SIM
pllclty, but it is constructed with diabol-
lcal cunning. At first sig ght the victim
feels little or no interest; but, if he stops
for single moment to try it, or to look
at any one else who is trying it, the
mania seizes him. Business, home,
friends, family, social, religious and
civic duty, and all moral obligations,
are forgotten, while the unfortunate
man ponders, and putters and bothers,
and slides the fifteen blocks around, and
figures, and calculates, and swears, and
gives it UP, and begins again, until the
earth reels beneath him, his brain cracks
and finally ne succumbs in blank de-
spair, doubling his sanity, or relinquish-
ing all hope OF future USE
fulness. His only hope is to 'swear
off," registering his oath before notary;
but one has yet been found who
""o o@Oi0 W Ao0P VIC Oatu dltS1 Ao 1Aau
made it.
In banks and bar-rooms, legislative
hall and gambling-houses, hotels and
horse-cars,-everywhere, in short,
where the American citizen is to be
found,-he will be seen trying the fifteen
puzzle. Children and philosophers alike
try it, while it is popular in the nursery
it has been discussed in the meetings of
the Academy of Science, where its laws
were partially discovered. It
remained for the Herald to discover the
solution of the puzzle.
On board exactly large enough to
contain sixteen blocks, fifteen are
placed. They are numbered consecu-
lively: and the puzzle is to place them
on the board irregularly, and then by
sliding them around, without removing
them from the board, arrange them in
the following order:

be white, it will be seen that the board
is the same as q quarter section Of q
chess-board. This problem is similar
in nature to the old chess-problem of
moving the knight all over the board in
sixty moves, touching every square
once, and only once. Now, this fifteen
puzzle is either simple or it is insoluble.
If the fourteen and the fifteen are re-
versed, or if referring to the diagram
any two numbers be reversed, one OF
which is black-square number and
the other belongs on white square, the
problem is insoluble. You may see
this by arranging the number. correct
ly, and then taking out any number be-
longing on black square, and putting
it into the vacant square at the lower
righthand corner, which is also black
square. It is evident that, If the fif-
teen numbers be then pushed into posi-.
ton, regardless of their rotation, a
white-square number will come on the
black square just vacated, and the
black that was moved will 60 to white
square,"
"Then the fifteen numbers so placed"
said the reporter, 'are seven Of them
black-square numbers, and eight Of
them white-square numbers, and a.

black and white number are reversed"
eyes" said Prof. Wander Weyde.
"Then," said the reporter, suppose
we turn the board around 80 that a
white square will be the vacant one" :"
And he turned the board and solved the
problem.
"You have done it," admitted DR..
Wander Weyde.
1t was at once a verifcation and a
contradiction of his theory. The puz
zle can only be solved if the board is in
certain position. If the numbers
come wrong, it is because black and q
white square number have been re-
versed; and, by readjusting the board
so that block No. / will come on diff
ferent Imaginary color, the arrange
ment of the block is easy. Without
this change in the position of the board
the arrangement of the numbers is i'm
