and considerabie business was transacted
aud most OF the appointments made by

Compton, LAWYER and Mccormick Sc
curing the two years term OF office, Ieav-
ing Ross, Peabody and Kelley the one

the II OF most interest and was settled
by the mayor and aldermen agreeing to
serve without salaries; the city auditor
to receive 800 per annum; city assessor
$35; chief OF police $35; city treasurer
and city attorney to receive no compen-
sation
The mayor may not have made any
ante-election promises but it was the ex-
pected that happened and the appoint
ments are exactly as anticipated. The
appointments are r. W. Parliman as
city attorney; VIM. I'll. II. Mensing as
city auditor and L. D.. Landon as chief
OF police and street commissioner. No
assessor was appointed at this meeting
for the reGson that the man who had d

the subject Of a patent recently issued
to Estanislao Caballero de los Olives,
New York city.
In suitable light, but strongly made,
basket or car Is carried the best OBJ
tainable type Of engine for operating
sustaining screws on the upper ends Of
shafts journaled In light framework,
to which Is pivoted an elongated ring
surrounding the screws. To the latter
ring Is pivoted, In a manner to form a
universal joint, an aeroplane, which
may be inclined in any direction rela-
tive to the sustaining screws, and held
adjusted In the position desired, by
means Of ropes or equivalent means,
the aeroplane having a central opening
Of sufficient size to allow 1t to be SO
inclined without impinging upon the
framework or the screws.
The ascent and descent Of the vessel
are designed to be controlled by the
operation of the screws, and when the
aeroplane isset at an inclination to the
plane Of the screws, the reaction Of the
air striking the inclined surface causes
a forward movement in the direction Of
the highest point Of the aeroplane IL
the vessel is ascending, and In the oppO7
site direction IL the vessel is descend
ing, the direction being changed or re-
versed without altering the speed Of
the engine or the position of the screws.

AN OLD woMAN's EGGS.
Problem that Is Rscking the Brain
of the Sleepy Phi1adelphians.

Problem that Is Hacking the Brains
of the Sleepy Philadelphians.
Some as yet unidentified Philadel-
phian came momentarily out of his ac-
customed state Of peaceful trance few
days ago and proceeded to utilize the
half hour or so that elapsed before he
went to sleep again by evolving the
following highly characteristic prob
lem: "An old woman who was selling
eggs, when asked how many she had
in her basket, replied that if she took
them out by twos. threes, fours, fives
or skies in each case there would be
left one odd egg In each basket, but IL
she removed them by sevens there would
be none remaining. How many eggs
did the old woman have" Since then
Philadelphia has been stirred as never
before in its history. All the local pa
pers accepted the problem as one well
calculated to test the mathematical
knowledge of their readers-in which
supposition they seem to have made no
mistake-and have been devoting much
space to it ever since. Curiously
enough, no resident Of the "City Of
Dead Calm" noticed that the sum"
as stated is insoluble. After fumbling
about in the wilderness Of figures for
a while, the predetermined customers
Of Mr.. Wanamaker and a few of his
cash girls hit upon 301 as the right an
swer. The accuracy Of this was at
once admitted by all the papers and
peace again brooded on the Schuylkill.
A troublesome fellow who vehement
ly declared that 2,401 is the correct
number was sternly silenced by the in
formation that no basket could hold
2,401 eggs, and no old woman could car
ry them A New York schoolboy to
whom this enigma was submitted look
ed II over for moment, and then ask
ed, why didn't they say, A woman
had some eggs, how many did she
have?" An amateur mathematician
treated the matter more gravely: "Put
in exact terms" he said, "the problem
is to lind common multiple of 2, 3, 4,
8 and 6, which, increased by 1, In divis-
ible by z. There is not enough paper in
the world to hold all the correct an
swers to that question. Therefore,
strictly speaking, there is no answer.
Any multiple of 60, the least common
multiple of 2, 3, 4, 5 and @, which, by
the addition of 1, becomes multiple
Of z, fulfills the conditions. For in
stance, 60, multiplied by 5, II, ", 10
and 20, gives 800, 420, 720, 1920, 1 ,140
and 1850, and added to any of these
makes a number that will do. There
are innumerable millions more Of
them" Evidently Philadelphia must
try again If she wants to enter the first
class In arithmetic.-New York Times.
