ATLANTA, Ca, May 18.-A serious
conaagration broke out in this city at

For some time past residents on the
bluff have been annoyed by some mis-
creant, whose conscience evidently
don't hurt him. Several weeks ago
quite number of valuable dogs were
poisoned, but the identity OF the
poisoner is still unknown. During the
last week many of the families in the
vicinity of Eight and Tenth streets,
from Court to Lincoln, have had their
hen roosts looted, Saturday night
some two dozen being taken from one

HOW MANY APPLES.

TIE following problem in mathe,
matics may prove interesting to the
boys and girls who write for the
Young Folks" column. VINO can
figure it out9
l have found the following interest
ing problem in an old notebook, writes
Sir Walter Besant. I have no recollec-
ton at all of it's origin. Perhaps every
body knows it. Perhaps everybody
does not. Those who do not will find
it, I think, unless they bring algebra
to bear upon it, rather a tough nut to
crack.
Here it is. Once there we're three
niggers-their wickedness is a negli-
gible quantity; it does not enter into
the pEoblem-who robbed an orchard,
carried away the apples in a sack, laid
them up in a barn for the night and
went to bed. One of them woke up be-
fore dawn, and, being distrustful of
his friends, thought he would make
sure of his share at once. He therefore
went to the barn, divided the apples in
to three equal ~heaps-there was one
over, which he threw away-and car
ried off his share. Another niger then
woke up with the same uneasiness and
the same resolution. He, too, divided
the apples into three heaps-there was
one over, which he threw away-took
his share, and carried it off. And then
the third niger woke up with the same
emotions. He, too, divided the remain
ing apples into three portions-there
was one over, which he threw away
took his share and departed.
In the morning every one preserved
silence over his doings of the night;
they divided the apples which were
left into three heaps-one was over,
which they threw away-and so took
each his share. How many apples
were there in the sack? There are many
possible ansWers-a whole series of
numbers-but let us have the lowest
number of apples possible. Senior
wranglers must be good enough not to
answer this question. Moralists, if they
please, may narrate the subsequent
history of these three niggers, apart
from the problem of their apples.
