An Old Problem.

One of the problems that is as old az
the science of mathematics is that of
"squaring the circle" BY squaring the
circle is meant the problem of finding
the sides of square exactly equal in
area to circle of given diameter. To
do this, either by elementary geometry
or by expressing il automatically in
Commensurate numbers, has been
found to be an impossibility. In other
words, the ratio between the diameter
and the circumference of circle cannot
be exactly found, even though in the di-
vision, the decimal be carried to 10000
figures. The above being the exact
facts in the case, we will say that the
problem of "squaring the circle" is one
that has long been given up by the
mathematicians as insoluble.

OUR CITIES SAVED BY RUSSIA

Two interesting and significant
stories were told in the Brooklyn navy

bearing on events now in progress OF

young German emperor, who made sew
erai visits to the white squadron when
IL was at Kiel.
One day he was talking with a cele-
brated American captain.
Captain" said he, IL see that most OF
your country's warships are fast cruis-

merce destroyers, do you no."
ayes, emperor" said the American.

side" the emperor went on. land wa
have come Ia the conclusion that these
ships are built for n war with England.
What other nation has any commerce
to destroy?"
There was a silence after this. for our
captain had said more than he intended.
Grand Duke Alexis, who is a full Rus
sian admiral and the head of the Rus
sian navy, was also n frequent visitor TO
the Americans at Kiel. One day, watch
ing the Columbia, the grand duke said
TO the captain:
I'm glad YOU Americans are rebuild

try? The first thing was your wonder
