Clever Method of Demonstrating q
Proposition In Euclid.
Here is a very clever method of dem
onstrating proposition in mathemat-
les which will interest and at the same
time instruct our boys and girls and
will give those who are not very far
advanced in arithmetic a glimpse Of
the pleasures in store for them when
they enter upon the study Of geometry:
No proposition in mathematics has
been the cause of more perplexity
than No. Il in the first book Of Euclid
the square described on the hypote
muse of right angled triangle is equal
to the sum of the squares described on
the other two sides.
We know that the hypotenuse is
less than the other two sides taken to-
gether, and it seems reasonable to as
sumo that the square described upon

Pins and Marbles.

Each boy or girl receives three pins,
which are stuck upright in the carpet
Marbles are then used to bowl over
the pins. Naturally there must be q
prearranged place for the pins to be
stuck and for the bowler to stand in
order that everybody shall have an
equal chance. If moro than one boy or
girl should succeed in downing all three
pins in the three bowls allowed by the
rules, the successful players can have
rubber" games together until one or
the other becomes champion. - Wash.

Jack Saw Them.

One day the primary teacher had
been talking about Jack and Jill and
asked the little people to draw pic
ture showing what she had told them.
When the pictures were gathered, it
was noticed that one little boy had
drawn several stars about Jacks head.
The teacher said:
"Why, Freddie, why do you have
those stars in the picture? 1t was in
the daytime when Jack and Jill went
for the water"
Freddie looked up as if surprised at
the dizziness Of the teacher and said:
"Why, Miss -. they are the stars

it should also be less. But we know at
the same time that the proposition may
be readily demonstrated. Indeed many
Of us have demonstrated it time and
again.
Perhaps it may simplify the matter
somewhat if we use dominos to show
how this demonstration may be made,
and the accompanying illustration has
been drawn for this purpose.
Each domino, as you know, is 4 rec
tanglc composed of two squares. Hav-
ing drawn 4 right angled triangle, we
proceed to construct 4 square upon the
hypotenuse by means Of the domi-
nos. We find that we may form Il
perfect square by placing twelve dOmi-
nos as shown in the picture-that is
to say, we have twcnty-four squares,
with an empty space in the center
equal to one of the squares, or twenty
five equal squares in all.
On the second side Of the triangle
we place four dominos, which, with
the empty space in the center, gives
us nine equal squares, and on the
third side we place eight dominos, Civ
ing us sixteen equal squares.
This completes the demonstration,
for we have twenty-five squares on the
hypotcnuSc and sixteen plus nine, or
twenty squares on the other two
sides.
