"THE FOURTH POWER"

An Attempt to Indicate What 1t Looks
Like
In recent number of St. Nicholas
the above question was asked, more
as an amusing puzzle than as seri-
Gus mathematical problem. Two
clever correspondents, however, have
sent answers. Paul R. Heyl, Of Phil
adelphia, incloses a model in wire
open work and writes: when we
wish to represent the fourth power
(Which, being of four dimensions, we
may call a hypercube), we may do SO
in solid perspective by placing cube
diagonally above another and little

something far more appalling than a
slowly depositing, alluvial process is
necessary to account for the evident
ly simultaneous death of a herd of
any kind of creatures, and especially
does this process not explain their
fossils in compact sandstone.
Another rare American specimen
secured was the patirofelis, an en-
tire skeleton of which was found at
the foot of cliff on a small tribu-
tary of Green River. This is the
supposed ancestor Of the modern fe-
line tribes and is interesting as mark
ing the ad vent Of the swimming car
nivora on the plane of development.

was the palaosyops. The snout was
ornamented with a single twenty

A younger correspondent, Arthur
Howe Carpenter, of Deadwood, S. D.,
also defines the properties of the
fourth power figure: ut is a figure
bounded by eight cubes, just as a cube
is bounded by six squares; it has six
teen corners, twenty-four squares, and
thirty-two edges"
One of the correspondents says that
this model shows as nearly as posi-
BILE what the fourth power looks
like" what it really looks like cannot
be shown. This figure has many Of
its qualities, but the thing itself is
only theory Of geometry.

His Order.

A speaker who has planned an adj
dress for multitude, and finds him
self confronted with but single
auditor, sometimes fails to readjust
his remarks, and the result is apt to
be ludicrous A little story illustra-
tive of this point is told in connec-
tion with a former president of the
University Of North Carolina.
One day, as this dignified and
stately parsonage was walking about
the campus. he observed an unlaw-
ful assemblage Of students at some
little distance. He did not hasten
his steps, but proceeded slowly to-
ward them with his head down and
his eyes apparently bent in contem-
plation of his own boots.
When this leisurely preceding had
brought him to the spot where the
students had been gathered, only one
young man remained, the others hav-
ing precipitately departed.
The president raised his head and
surveyed the solitary culprit with
apparent severity, although the
young man always contended that
he. detected a twinkle in his keen
eyes.
"Sir," said the president in a COM
handing tone, instantly disperse to
your several places of abode"
Difficult though the feat required
certainly was, the young man exc
cuted to the best Of his ability by
"dispersing' without further delay.
