THAT "CURIOUs FACT"

To the Editor: The "Curous Math-
ematical Fact" given in the ISLANDER
last week, viz, that the sum of any
two consecutive numbers is equal to
the difference of their squares, is ex-
planned by the fact that the difference
of two consecutive numbers is always
one. Draw the squares of say 5 and f.
The larger will coutain twenty-five
small squares and the smaller, sixteen
Place the smaller OH the larger, with
the upper right-hand corners coincid-
ing; their difference will then appear
as single row of small squares on the
left side and one on the lower side.
But these rows are also the two origi.
nal numbers, being the sides of the re-
spective squares. When the difference
between two numbers is 2, the differ
ence of their squares is equal to two
times their sum- when the difference
is 3, to three times their sum, etc, etc.
Now let that Atlanta lawyer, who is
so fond of knotty mathematics, try
this: One cat has one tail, and 70 cat
has eight tails; the sum of all these cats
is one, and the sum of their tails is
nine. Therefore, it is plain that one
cat has nine tails; but WHY HAS 1T?
