One Of the problems that are as old as
the science Of mathematics is that Of
''squaring the circle" BY squaring the
circle is meant the problem Of finding
the sides Of a square exactly equal in
area to a circle Of given diameter. To
do this, either by elementary geometry
or by expressing it automatically IN
commensurable numbers, has been found
to be an impossibility. In other words,
tbs ratio between the diameter and the
circumference Of a circle cannot be OK.

Mozart had a memory for music and
for nothing else. On attending the papal
mass at the Sistine chapelhe was great
ly impressed with the musical service
and asked for a copy, but was told none
could be given him, as the music was
not allowed to go out he went to the
next service, listened attentively, went
away and wrote down the whole from
memory. When "Don Giovanni" was
first performed, there was not time to
copy a part for the harpsichord, so
Mozart conducted the entire opera,
about three hours long, and played a
harpsichord accompaniment to the songs
and choruses without a note Of music
to assist his memory.

AL. NIYELEY HURT.

AL. Diveley, the we'll known stock
man, and his wife drove out to Hor-
ace Martins place about nine miles
southwest of this city in the Indian
Territory last Sunday. After visit
ing there some time Mr.. Diveley
concluded TO 60 with two other men
across the pasture to look at some
cattle, and the three started ina
lumber wagon. When some dis
tance from the house some part OF
the whiffle.trees broke and fright
ened the horses, which started so
suddenly that the reins were jerked
out of the drivers hands and there
was nothing left for the men to do
but Jump out and let the team run
down. Mr.. Diveley was trifle
slow about jumping and in doing
so fell heavily to the ground on his
left arm which was broken between
the elbow aud wrist. One of his
ribs on the left side was also frac-
tured. He was brought home as
quickly as possible, but it was three
hours from the time he was hurt
until DIR. Dewitt reduced the frac-
ture. He is recovering nicely.
The other men were not hurt, but
the wagon was badly broken up.

WHAT FREE COINAGE MEANS.

To the frequently repeated asser-
tion of the gold men that "the
proposition to coin silver at the
ratio of 10 to is proposition to
buy fifty odd cents worth of silver
and stamp II as worth dollar" the
Philadelphia American (Rep)
replies as follows:
1t is proposition of nothing of
the kind. Under free coinage the
United States would in no sense
whatever buy silver. The assertion
that free coinage means that the
United States would purchase sill
yer in unlimited quantities giving
a dollar in exchange for every fifty
odd cents of silver is an inexcusablc
falsehood.
Under the Bland aud Sherman
acts. forced on those demanding
the free coinage of silver by the
gold contractionists and passed as
compromises, the government
bought silver at market rates, but
under free coinage the government
would buy silver in no other sense
than it now buys gold. and il would
no more give 81 in coin for So cents
of silver than il now gives 81 in
coin for SO cents worth of gold bull
lion.
The proposition to coin silver at
the ratio of 10 10 is not a propo-
sition to buy silver. il is PROPOSE.
tion to give the owner of silver the
same privileges of mintage as those
now enjoyed by the owner of gold,
10 restore the privileges OF mintagc
TO the owner of silver bullion, priv
ileges never denied nntil-IS73.
Under free coinage the government
would receive on deposit silver bull
lion as il now receives gold bullion,
and for every 37li4 grains of pure
silver deposited it would return to
the depositor silver dollar con-
tanning 37li4 grains of silver, just
as for every 23.22 grains of pure
gold deposited now ii returns the
equivalent of a gold dollar. And
this Sill grains of silver under
free coinage would be worth no
more after coinage into the dollar
than before, any more than 23.22
grains of gold is at this time worth
more as coin than bullion.
With the mints open to silver
coinage as they are now open to
gold, the value of silver as coin and
silver as bullion would be the same.
The silver dollar might not be
worth as much as the gold dollar,
but the bullion value of 37lL
grains of pure silver or Ape
grains of standard silver would be
the exact equivalent of the coined
silver dollar, and this silver dollar
is what the owner of silver bullion
would get in return for his silver.
Under free coinage, therefore, the
owner of silver bullion could get
no more than the market vsslue of
his silver, for the market value
would be the coin value. Such
being the case, statements to the
effect that free coinage means that
the government would pay 81 for
every fifty odd cents worth of silver
offered at the mints cannot go
unchallenged for they have abso.
lutely no foundation In truth.
