BANK CLERK

Bicycle Stealing.

ohfo Two DOilars 10 Be accused OF
Bicycle Stealing.
A rather clever trick was PLAYED on a
bank clerk the other day in Paris. A
cyclist ~accosted him outside a store
and begged him to look after his bi.
cycle while he went in to buy some
thing. The clerk consented, and the
stranger was about 10 go in when he
hesitated and said that as the other
was a stranger to him he thought II
would be well if he gave him ten francs
as a guarantee of his honesty. The
unsuspecting clerk handed him the
sum at once, and the stranger, after
promising to stand him a drink when
he returned, left him. After the clerk
had waited about half an hour another
cyclist came up, and, selling him by
the throat, called him a thief. Both
were arrested, and at the station il was
learned hat the second cyclist was the
real owner of the machine, which had

One of the problems that is 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 10y elementary geometry
or by expressing it automatically in
Commensurate numbers. has been
found to be an impossibility. In other
words, the ratio between the diameter
and the circumference of u circle cannot
be exactly found, even though in the di.
vision, the decimal be carried 10 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
mathcmaticians as insoluble.

the Post will say in the morning:
"This sensational dispatch comes in
very bad taste, to say the least of it,
from a city whose merchants have been
repeatedly caught during the last ten
days trying to introduce goods from their
own fever-infected city into Texas by
way of St. Louis and with the assistance
of false bills of lading in open violation
of quarantine rules and at the risk of
spreading yellow fever up and down the
Mississippi valley and over the entire
southwest There is no very suspicious
fever prevailing in Houston, Galveston,
Dallas and San Antonio. and all Texas
is in no need of guarding. The only
guarding needed is against New Orleans.

trict is at liberty to visit any city Il
