The Pusgle SOiVed.

On Friday last The Call published in
these columns the following delightful
mathematical puzzle, offering as a
prize to the one flying farthest from
the answer a nice secondhand copy
Of "Differential Calculus;
Five men were allowed to share a
box of oranges among them. John took
10. Robert 30. George so, Richard 40
and William 80.
What an unfair division" said the
donor, as the men carried the oranges
away.
Not at ALL" they replied. The
numbers make no difference. We shall
sell at the same rate. and if we sell out
shall have exactly the same money
each.
They sold out. and each took exactly
the same sum. How did it happen?

Where CongentionS Meet.

One of the public buildings os which
Kansas City is justly proud is the Con-
vention Hall. The present building Oc-
cupies the site of the former building
of the same general dimensions, which
was destroyed by fire on April 4, 1900
The Democratic National Convention
was TO meet in this building on July
of the same year, and this now
seemed almost an imDOssibility. Be
fore the flames were distinguished on
the old building, however. a new one
bad been pledged, contracts made and
in less than ninety days from the date
of the fire the new Convention Hall
stood on the site of the old one, fire
proof building. 19Sx314 feet, with seat
ing capacity of more than 10000 per-
sons. under a steel roof which spanned
the whole without a column and at a
cost of $S5O,OOO.
The Democratic Convention was
opened on the Fourth of July, 1900. in
building belonging to the same class
as the Madison Square Garden in New
York and which lacked very little Of
completion. Its exterior is cut stone
and brick its interior f1re-prOof
throughout and it's floor area larger
than that of Madison Square Garden.
The architect of the general building
was F. E. Hill. who made the plaRs
for the second building, with the assist
ance of an advisory board of architects.
The achievement, from purely a con-
structional point of view, was one of
the most remarkable which has ever
been brought to my notice.. NJ.

BUSTING THE ANTITRUST LAW.

form of fines and imprisonment. for the punish
i ment Of its vioators. 1t is known that the inn
prisonment in the law gives the force
The criminal trusts" which Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst has attacked with all the gaantry of Don
Ouixote going up against the windms do not fear
fine They can pay it. But imprisonment is another
matter The prospect of going jail is unpleasant
that the trust managers lie awake nights studying
to get around it.
Hereafter they may lay them down to sleep all night
Mr.. Hearst the trustbuster has last introduced
bill for their relief 1t provides: "n all convictions

said acts regulate whether committed be-
fore or after the passage OF this act for ofenses
der this section penalty shall be imposed the
victed party other than fine prescribed by law inn
prisonment. wherever prescribed part of the
penalty, being hereby abolished
The verbiage of the act raises suspicion that Mr..
Hearst wrote himself violation of the law is sub
ect to the penalties fixed by the the time
offense was committed. Were this not so many pow
erfu offenders would escape penalties by delay of
until they could procure the amendment of the statutory
punishment
1t will be seen that Mr. Hearsts bill applies to the in
terstate commerce law well the antitrust law.
When the interstate commerce law before Con-
gress and later when in the courts, the powerful
railroad companies and the trusts objected to the
prisonment clause among its penalties They wanted
only to be fined he trust and railroad managers dread
the dark, damp atmosphere of the prison They abhor
the plain and wholesome diet OF the Jail, and
above all their pride revots at being classed among the
jalbirds
Now why does Mr.. Hearst seek to out of the law
the only penalty that they fear: Has criminal
trust predatory railway taken advantage Il
his innocence bunko him into identifying his great
and growing name with the darling desire of the trusts
and railroads? Why should he begin picking holes in
laws that are sautary and for public protection? How
many time and oft has he expressed, in his string of
newspapers, the burning and boiling desire to see the
trust and railroad magnates behind the bars meaning
thereby the bars whereat alcoholic thirst quenched
but the common black iron bars of the prison Then why
does he lift his legislative hand to destroy the only law
that can put them there?

possible.
The foregoing exercise is good for

my mind. the only sort or calisthenic
work which should accompany the reg

Ask why the stars al midnight shine,
Why rivers seek the sea;
