"eY THE BRIGHT LIGHT"

Thousands View Brilliant Boston Dis
play laused by a blazing Building.
Boston, March Ca fire broke out in
the large curryihg shop OF VIM. Quirin &
Co., on Longwood avsue, and in half an
hour the entire structure was in ruins. The
shop was four stories high, Is by 800 feet
dimensions, and was filed with expensive
machinery and valuable stock. The loss on
the building machinery is $4,000; on stock
Sc, 900, probably insured. During the fire
quite severe snow storm prevailed and the
reflection of the light from the falling snow
colored the entire heavens a brilliant Grim
son, Illuminating tho city so that print could
easily be read a mile from the fire. Thous.
ands arose from their beds and enjoyed the
grand sight from windows and roofs. A
dwelling house 300 feet distant was so hot
that the hand could not be held upon ths
sides or roof Besides other stock 600
gallon tank of the best Newfoundland cod oil
was ruined.

POST OFFICE REMOVAL.
The Change Speedily
Made.
A POin ter for PresideBt Cleve
land.

On last Saturday Post Master
Pursell obtained a permit from the
Department at Washington for q
removal OF the post Office. A con-
tract was signed with Mr.. james
fort room in the the Block form.
erly occupied by Gutherie. Gus
Magoon was employed as master o.
transportation.
After the six o'clock mail bad
been distributed, Magoon and his
force OF men began work, and in
about three hours the entire fixtures
of the office were removed and put
in proper place in the new room.
The removal was accom- pllshed
without jar, an accident. or the
delay in delivering a single letter
Mr.. Pursell received the nine o.
clock mail on tho pavement, and
distributed as callers came. By mid
night the work was complete, and
on Monday morning everything
was moving as smoothly as though
the office always had been here
The new office is much better
than the old one. It'is better light
ed and more commdious. 1t is also
much m re convcnient-to the 0c-
capants of the James Block.
The ce'erity and harmony OF the
removal Of the post office, may serve
as a valuable hint to President
Cleveland in the removal of the
Post Master.
He can be removed between two
days without jar or accident or dis
turbance.
Let the move so happily begun
and go skilIfully conducted, be con
tinued until the change" is COM
plete.

FHE LADDER
Squared and Octogenated.

lions OF The ladder problem. euD-
mitted some time since by the
| Board of Examiners and objected
to by our correspondents as not
a fair Arithmetical question.
The solution of the problem in
wolves geemetrical elements, but
in all our arithmetics certain
| geometrical theorems or rather
mathematical elements are pre-
sented and made part of the
study Of arithmetic. This is par
ticularlv so in the case of the
Right Angled Triangle. The
ladder question belongs to this
class, and with a knowledge of
arithmetic as presented in the
text books. and with mathemat-
'ical ingenuity, the question is
s,!vable and can properly be
solved by what we generally un-
'lerstand as Arithmetic.-unless
the text book, Ray" has changed
since we were a pupil and a
teacher.
Mr.. Z. L. Goodwin, of New
Plymouth, sends this solution:
He determines from the fact
that the ladders stand at an an
gle of IS degrees that the dis
tance between their fleet" which
is twenty feet, is the side of an
octogon. He describes an octo
gon, inscribed in a square. BY
calculation, on the principle of
the 45th of Euclid, he obtains the
length of one side Of the circum :
scriblng square. The half of the
side Of the circumscribing square
is the length of the perpendicular
dropped from the Intersection Of
the ladders to the 20 feet BASE
With this PERPENDICULAR and one
half of twenty, the bahs of right
angled triangle, the length of the
hypothenuse, which is the lad
er, is easily obtained.
Mr.. A. N. Scholl, of District
No. 6, Marion township, Who is
not a teacher, but is still pupil,
sends us the cleverest solution of
any. He finds ont by the ''square
and compass, we suppose that
for he don't tell us how he
knows it,-that the space be-
tween the feet of the ladder is
the side of an octogon. Then he
proceeds like Mr.. Goodwin to
circumscribe the octogon with a
square, the sides of which square
he calculates, taking 30 feet as
the hypothenuse Of right-an-
gled triangle, the base of which
doubled, added to the 20 feet,
side of octogon. and distance be-
tween feet of ladders, gives him
the length of side of circumscri-
bing square. Then he takes this
length as base for a right an.
gled triangle with one side of the
octogon as perpendicular and
constructs a triangle, the hypoth-
enuse of which is the diameter
of the octogon, or twice The
length of the ladder.
Our young friend Scholl writes
us that if he has furnished a COR
rect solution, he is entitled to
the SENTINEL one year, under the
terms of a proposition made by
our correspondent two weeks
ago.
Our correspondent submitted
a problem different from the one
under consideration. He put
the ladders at different angles,
and asked an ar,thmetical solu-
ton.
The conditions make the solu-
ton impossible. The problem |
presented by our correspondent
can not be solved by arithmetic,
Dor by any of the geometrical
