els Of corn from farmer. He was told he
might have the corn at areduced price, pro-
vlded he would measure it himself, using
nothing to measure it in or with excepting
the bins that were used for holding the corn.
The farmer stated that there were three
bins, each holding sixteen, ten and six BUSH
els respectively. The bin holding sixteen
bushels was at that time full, and the other
two were empty. The mercL ant was told
he might change the corn from one bin to
another as much as he liked, but he must be
certain to so arrange it that the four bushels
would be measured correctly. The mer.
chant succeeded in measuring the corn as
