Mr.. Editor ~ Your issue Of the Goth in
slant contained Il problem which some one
kindly offered for the amusement Of your
readers, and since il Is my good fortune TO be
Chased among them | have studied the
question and send you the solution which
/ think ia correct-aij,us four decimal pt0ees
The problem is easily solved by means Of
several geometrical principles, as follows:
Construct the figure in proportion To the
measurements given In the problem. Let
A denote the top OF lower wall, Il the top
Of higher wall and the vertex Of the roof.
Let D represent the point where horizon
tai line passing through A intersects the
higher wall. BY construction the line BID
Is equal 10 the difference between the
heights OF the two walls, which is 10 feet.
Draw a straight line through y and A and
let fall through G the required peTpendon-
lar, which will be parallel 10 the walls and
will interscct the line Alb in some point o.
This line Oc is equal TO the line BID, or is
10 feet long.
For draw a straight line through G aud
ID and denote the point Of intersection with
the line ALB by H. The two right iriangles
ACB and ADD are equal because their cor.
responding sides are eqoal Hence the an.
giles Af3C anh AID hre equal and, sigGe
the triangle DBC is isosceles, il loDlovs that
the line BE is perpendicular 10 the line DE
and bisecfs II at u.
Now, the right triangles DEC and BED
have their right angles at equal, their
alternate interior angles BDE AMI ECO
equal, and their included sides &c and ED
equal, hepcs thrse iriangles are equal, each
~ each, in all their paris, and The side co
is equal 10 the side BID. Therefore The line
co, representing the ridge pole Of tbs ROOF,
10 equal TO the line BID or is 10 feet long.

and all those who came in contact with him
were fond Of him He wac gentle and kind
with his brothers and sisters and always re.
spectfu and obedient 10 his parents. His
death makes void in the hearts of his rea-
tives and friends that cannot be filled. The
estimation in which he was held by his
family was best indicated by the unmeasurcd
sorrow manifested by them a. his burial.
His body was placed in u grave in the
family lot on the estate of his grandfather,
the late Marchant Ricketts,.
