Squaring the Circle.

James Morton, Philadelphia mathe-
natician, claims to have solved the
problem known as squaring the cir
cle." The solution of this problem of
finding the exact area of a circle has
occupied the attention of mathemati-
clans from time immemorial. Many
claimed to have performed it, but their
demonstrations have always failed to
stand the test. The nature of the prob
lem places it outside of the domain of
arithmetical calculation, but not
withstanding this admitted fact,
the ratio between diameter and
circumference has been carried
out to over six hundred decimal places.
So, by geometrical methods, Mr.. Nor
ton thinks he has accomplished the
quadrature of the circle. His solution,
put in the form of a proposition, is as
follows: 1.-The square Of the diameter
of any circle is to its area as the perrin
eter of a square described on the diam
eter of the circle is to its circumfer-
ence; or conversely, the area of any cir
Gle is to the square of its diameter as
the circumference of the circle is to the
perimeter Of a square described on its
diameter"
