Boys and girls who are studying
geometry have found, or will find. in 1t
the proposition that the surface OF
sphere is equal to four times the sur
face of a great circle. This Is one
of the important theorems, the demon
stration of which requires some care
full figure work; but there is way
to prove it by means of SO simple
nature that the operation becomes a
pleasant entertainment.
All you need for this simple demon
stration is a croquet ball piece of
cord and a tack; certainly very queer
things with which to work out a geo

do 1t:
Saw the eroquet ball through the

the half-spheres is what is called a

the cord splrally around the tack,

Geometrical Puzzle.

The geometrical puzzle on this page
last week-namely, how to cut two
portions from Fig. and replace them
so as to form a square of the whole
was trifie more difficult than many
of the little problems which have APP
peared on this page. Still, have no
doubt that most readers spent very
few minutes before they overcame the
difficulty.

of great principal, you have only to
unwind the two cords, when you will

This experiment may be used as
parlor trick, without allusfon to Its
geometrical nature. Have the half

and proceed to show t. Explain the

"One day some years ago" said a
Chicago lawyer, "a man came into my
office and asked me to take up his
case and defend him. His name was
George Jacks. He had been arrested
for stealing jewelry from a woman
and was now out on bail.

down, and drive tack in the top and

to the tack piece of cord exactly like
that first used, and wind the cord
around the spherical surface until it
Is entirely covered. and then cut 1t.
Now if the cord wound around the
spherical surface is twice as long as
that wound around the fiat surface, we
have proved our proposition, for if the
surface of the half-sphere is twice as
great as the surface of the circle, the
surface of whole sprere is four times
as great.

The KANSAS LEGISLATURES.


Topeka, Kan, Jan. 17,-The Kansas
legislature adjourned yesterday until
Monday, as was expected, and conse-
quently there was general exodus
of legislators from the Kansas capt.
tai. Most of them predict that no
legislation Of Importance viii be ac-
complished during the coming week,
or at any rate until after the sena-
torial caucus, whichlwill probably oc-
cur next Wednesday, with the cleo
ton on the following Tuesday. The
election Of state printer occurs next
Tuesday, and the caucus will prob
ably be held Monday. "
Senator Findlay's proposed bill to
establish q whisk broom factory at
the Hutchinson state reformatory has
brought lobby here to work against
1t. Clint Lee, of Lincoln, Neb., heads
It. He has whisk broom factory in
the Nebraska penitentiary and en-
ploys convict labor under contract.
He has a good thing and is making q
barrel of money. He doesn't want
any competition from the Kansas re-
formatory, and is here to kill the bill,
II possible. Findlay says that the
state could make some money by es-
tablishing a whisk broom factory at
the reformatory. Hutchinson is just
on the edge Of the broom corn belt,
and the freight charges in moving
the raw material to the factory
would be light. There are no whisk
broom factories in Kansas, conse-
quently prison labor would not be
making stuff in conflict with free la
Dor.
Representative John Francis, Of
Allen, will be chairman Of the house
ways and means committee. He was
chairman Of that committee two
years ago. He lined up for Barker
for speaker this time and went to
the ditch with him, but Speaker Prin-
gle does not hold that against him.
Pringle knows that Francis is con-
servative, careful man and he will
give him the craftsmanship OF the
most important committee in the
house.

A spANIARD's TESTIMONY.
ne Makes the statement That He Saw An
American Roasted TO Death In Gen.
p Lukban's Camp

Manila, Jan. 17.--At the continue
ton yesterday of the trial Of Maj.
Edwin B. Glenn. Of the Fifth in
fantry, who is charged with unlaw-
fully killing seven prisoners Of war
in Samar, q Spaniard, who was at
one time held prisoner by the insur-
gents, testified that while he was
confined at the headquarters Of Gen.
Lukban. in samar, in May, 1900, he
saw an American prisoner roasted to
death. The Spaniard said sticks were
driven into the mans body and he
was slowly turned over the fire until
dead. The body was then left to be
devoured by hogs. He did not know
the mans name, but thought he was
AN officer. Several American officers
and men were captured or reported
missing In Samar in 1900 and the
victim Is believed to have been one Of
these. taf 9hAs
Other witnesses reviewed the Ba-
langiga, Gandara aud Catubig massa-
ores. The defense produced q letter
written by the insurgent leader Cue
yarra, In which he admitted that the
Balangiga massacre was contrary TO
the laws Of warfare.
