Accident at q Fire.

tracing parties were William Pinion and

house, from the neighborhood of the BASIN
crowd soon gathered and the fire was To-
Gated at the tenement house owned by Mr.. HI.
Leithiser, and rented by Mr.. Jerry Crowley
crowd climbed upon the roof while Others
remained below to watch the water play upon
the flame. About dozen or more gathered
on the upper balcony, when it gave way pre-
cIpitating all hands to the ground. Mr..
Crowley was pretty badly injured, having one
leg broken, and receiving several bad cuts
about the face and body. Others who were
injured by the fall were Mike Donovan and
Robert Bradfeld, who received painful
wounds about the head. The water brigade
did excellent work and soon put the flames
out, after the roof was burnt off the back of
the house. The fire originated from defec-
tive flue.
Up to this writing we are still unable to an
nounce the full tickets to be placed in the

Further Discussion,

MR. EDIToR.-Will you kindly allow us
little space to discuss further Mr.. Henderson's
problem A.? When our solution was written a
printed problem was not at hand, but one who
should have remembered stated that the re-
quirement was, that after the division the
parts were to be equal, SO an isosceles right
angled triangle was proposed. We would ask
Mr.. Henderson if equality is not perfect SINH
larity. In proof that it is SO considered let us
go to original sources. See Playfair's Euclids
Elements, book w., prop. VIII. "In right
augled triangle. If a perpendicular be drawn
from the right angle to the base the triangles
on each side of it are similar to the whole tri
angle, and to one another" Also see Davies
geometry, book VI, prop. XVIII. "If from
the right angle of a right angleu triangle a
perpendicular be let fall on the hypothenuse,
then the two partial triangles thus formed will
be similar to each other and to the whole tri
angle'' The same is found in Chauvenets
geometry, book III prop. IN. Observe that
a right -angled triangle is alone required, it
may be scalene or isosceles-any right angled
triangle In the demonstration scalene tri
angle is used that In the more improbable
case the principle is still seen to be true, and
for disciplined Is not to ) as 5 to5? IN. P.)
Our solution would not have been written
only co. seemed harshly and unfairly put
down. ''Eidt .justitid, ruGt cOelum." We,
like Mr.. Henderson, are fond of "sound
mathematics"

CHRISTMAS EXERCISES AT THE GRADED
ScHooL.-Interesting literary exercises were

before the adjournment for the Christmas
holidays. The Irving Literary Society met in
the principals room, Ohio s. Lee Jr., President
Miss Grace Walton, secretary. The exercises
included recitation by Miss Eta Cahen, a
defamation by w. S. Hall and debate upon
the question, 'Resolved that the public schools
are of more benefit than the private schools"
The affirmative was sustained by Herman
Reckord and Miss Estele Mechem, the mega
tive by McHenry Mitchell and Miss Annie
Cairnes.
The Bulletin of News, by Mr.. Jack Quarles,
and the Irving Literary Gazette, edited by
Misses Dora Proctor and Helen Mitchell were
quite entertaining. Miss Mary Matlock and
Miss Fannie and Bonnie Bissell added
much to the interest of the occasion with
their excellent vocal and instrumental music.
At the close of the exercises the President, on
behalf of the society, presented the principal
