An INTERESTING PROBLEM.

There was once a wise king who
was awful curious. lie was possessed
OF desire to know everything, and
was continually asking questions. In
decd, his thirst for knowledge carried
him 80 far that he wanted TO know
the age OF every person he met. But,
being king, he was exceedingly Do
lite, and would resort to strategy To
gain his ends.
One day there came to the court a
grayhaired professor, who amused the
king greatly. He told the monarch a
number things he never knew before,
and the king was delighted. But fin
ally 1t came to the point when the rul-
er wanted to know the age of the pro-
fessor, so he thought Of a mathcmati-
cal problem.

fortunes of Chung, and he has high hopes,
at the conclusion of his labors, that the
Emperor will give him the red button at
least. The hopes Of touching that button
will support him in his effort to do the rest.
Chung's plan is simple one, and TO the
Chinese mind is certain to be effective. He
proposes, with the aid of a retentive mem
ory, some poetical license and a diet of
roast pig, to sing the Japs off the face of
the map. Just two days after the news of
the sinking of the Kow Shung reached
here Chung announced his temporary re-
tlrement from the fortune-telling business
to enter the list of patriots, For the small
consideration of cents a head he would
sing of the past glories of China, and in
the course Of time, when he had recited
ali the glories of all the dynasties he would
proceed to jongle the Japs TO destruction.
So. he began. The first afternoon he
had but few listeners and hastily
skipped along in high key on the fitful
wanderiugs of the ten dynasties that pre-
ceded Chow; of their wandeTings in the
forests of Shan-se, and of the learned
Tsang-Kee, the Chinese Cadmus, who In
vented the labels on wash bills from de-
signs on the back Of tortoise she'll.
Next day there was a somewhat stead
ier attendance, and Chung Murphy went
to bed on a full stomach, with 81 Is in his
inside pocket. AS the story progressed he
slightly touched on the wonderful dscov-
cry of fire made by Suy jim She, which

TRIED TO ESCAPE.
A San Quentin ConviCt's
Bold Attempt.
He Endeavors by Means of Rag
Rope to Eiude Life Term,
but Without Avail.

A desperate but, as it turned out, an
abortive attempt TO escape the oppressive
terror of d life term was made early yester-
day morning at the State prison. San
Quentin.
The hero" of the attempt was Convict
Sykes, who. upon conviction of the crime
of murder, was some time ago consigned
to the prison for the term of his natural
life. Ever since his incarceration the
vision Of escaping has absorbed Sykes,
rendering him apparently docils and en-
titled TO the report of being a good
prisoner" But beneath all this apparent
resignation it seems that Sykes nourished
a secret hope of making break. He
could afford to disregard the petty tenn
porary indulgence of insuOordination when
supported by the idea that his obedience
would lull suspicion of his hidden project.
Sykes compliance with the prison rules
! increased to the border of apathy, and
the warden was not surprised one day
lately to learn that Sykes was sick and
had been sent to the sick ward. Here the
discipline is necessarily relaxed, and the
convict, tired of prison life, deemed that
his opportunity had arrived.
About ! O'Clock yesterday morning he
stole from his bed under the pretext of
visiting an adjoining room, where he was
alone. During the time that he had been
available minute In the manufacture of
rag rope, which he now produced and
fastened so as to use it in the descent from
a window.
The rope was far from strong, but the
descent was safely accomplished, the land
ing being made between the factory and
the old hospital. But though Sykes had
escaped from the sick ward he was still
within the shadow of the terrible walls,
the system of whose cuslodianship he was
thus blindiy attempting to penetrate.
Guard Browning was patroling the
grounds between The old hospital and the
factory and caught glimpse of Sykes as
be crouched in shadow. He started
toward him, told him to hold up his hands,
and Sykes fair dream of freedom straight
way dissolved. leaving not reck behind
The discounted "lifer" was uucere-

hustled into the dark cell to brood over
