a Wonder in multiplication.
From the 81. Louis Republic.

The school teachers and mathematicians
in general throughout New England espe-
clally Maine. have been devoting consider
able time to what at Fl st glance seems a
very common problem in multiplication.
1t appeared recently in Maine journal
and is as fellows: Take tie number 15
Multi ply it by itself and you have 225. Now
take 225 and multiply it by itself, then null
tiply that product by itself, and so on until
IS products have been multiplied by them
selves in turn. The pro 1lem aroused con
siderable interest ia Portland. The best
mathematcians worked on the prob
lem until they began to see how
much labor was involved in the
task of its solution, when they
made this disceuraging report: THE final
product calls for IS, $50 figures (the first of
which are 1,4l2.) Surprising that each
three figures occupied an incn of space, the
answer would be almost l, 100 feet long. To
work the problem in its entirety requires
about 500,000000 figures! Suppose these
figures to be made at the rats of 100 per
minute (which is rather fast work., a per-
son working 10 hours day and putting in
800 days each year, would be between 25
and 80 years performing the operation. If.
in multiplying, he should make row of
ciphers, as he does in figuring out common
problems, the number of figures and cipherS
required to express the final answer would
be 523, 939, 228.
That would be the precise number of fig
ures used If the product of the left-hand
figure in each multiplicand by each figure
of the multiplier was alwaysa single figure;
but, as is most frequently, yet not always,
two figures, the method employed to obtain
the foregoing result cannot be accurately
applied. Assuming that the cipher is used
on an average once in ton times Az, 100000
approximates the actual number.

The Nameless Bee Disease.

Within the past few years much com
plant has been made by beekeepers of a
disease among bees which not only de
pleted the colony but was made manifest
by the appearance Of the diseased bees.
They look black because of loss of hair,
much az do robber bees or old bees in
spring, and frequently make strange mo-
tons in front Of the hives, as though
dancing or i'll commissions. They are
frequently dragged out of the hives by
the other bees. This, like foul brood, is
supposed to be due to fungoid attack
In this only mature bees seem to become
victims, though the incubation appears
to come through the queen. Thus it is
found that superseding the queen with
healthy one cures the malady. 1t is
also reported that abundance Of salt
water placed close by the hives, where
the bees can gain ready access to it, will
cure this ''nameless bee disease A. J.
