THE APPLE PROBLEM.

A number of boys went out on an ex-
cursion up the river. and stopping OFT at
q certain place walked around while
to see the country. when they svied a
beautiful large apple tree. the honghs of
which were so laden with the luscious
fruit that they almost touched the ground.
The boys did not hesitate to help them
selves. and went at it with a determine
ton to get all the apples they could
carry.
They had not been there many minutes,
however. when the owner went after
them with a great big whip, causing
them TO run away as fast ms they could.
but not before they had stolen between
two and three dozen apples.
After they had gotten away TO safe
distance they proceeded 10 divide them
and found that by counting four apples
at time there were three apples left
over, but by counting FIVE apples at a
time only one apple remained Who can
tell how many apples those boys stole

fire to the thread. and behold the ring does
not fall 10 the floor nor does the thread
break.
The explanation is: The thread has in
reality been hurned. but the salt with
which the thread was saturated forms a
solid column. and that supports the ring.
Varied experiments can be made, using
several threads for enc article, and in fact
many others which may suggest themselves

Some Idea of what big hotel n
Transatlantic liner, Is may be gained
from the following from Alnslie's Mag
azlne Everything about the kitchen
of great steamship is on most elab-
crate scale, The range weighs many
tons the various soup caldrons are
constructed to hold 20 gallons; loaves
are baked by the hundred. joints roast
ed by the dozen, each In separate and
specially constructed compartment. To
serve the meals thousands of plates,
pieces of silver, cups and saucers and
napkins are required, and the average
breakage In the galley of big ship
amounts to a barrel Of china every day.
"The amount Of stores required for
single voyage by great liner is COM
parable only to the commissariat of an
army. Hore are a few figures furnish
ed by the chief steward OF one of the
big German ships from the order sheet
for recent trip: sixteen tons of fresh
beef, Ave tons of lamb and veal. $500
head of chickens, ducks. geese and
game, four tons OF salted meats. 1000
dozens eggs, three tons Of sugar, 100
barrels Of flour, 700 bushels of pota-
toes, 21a tons of butter, 1000 quarts of
milk and 800 gallons of ice cream. OF
course this Is not an exhaustive list,
but 1t will serve to give an idea of the
enormous appetite which the store
rooms of the ocean liner must satisfy"
