THE KNIGHTS" TOUR
AMUSEMENT FOR THE LOVERS
OF CHESS.
Enormous Number Of Combinations
Possible In This DiVertlng Exercise
"A Mental Recreation That Has
Few Equals.

What is termed the knights tour"
In chess, and which consists In NOV
ing the knight In such manner as to
cover every square on the chessboard
in sixty.four moves, counting the
starting point, is a much more inter
esting problem than is generally sup
posed and as a game or mental recre'
alton II has few equals.
It has been asserted that some OF
the chess masters have memorized the
knights tour, so as to be able to start
from any square on the board and I'm
ish on any other square, but analysis
proves that this is impossible. 1t is
possible, though, to start from any
black square on the board and finish
on any white square. Or to start
from any white square and finish on
black square, and this would give
the enormous number OF 1924 distinct
combinations without including any
OF the variations, of which II can be
demonstrated that there are four or
more in every combination. Let any
one try to work out Just one solu.
ton of the knights tour without re-
striction as to beginning or ending,
and he will have some appreciation OF
the nature Of such a mental feat. It
may be mentioned here that the four
minor variations increase the total
l6 times.
To form an idea Of this, let us ex'
anime some Of the diagrams which
show a regular pattern In the center
These are formed by moving the
knight In the same relative direction
when entering and leaving each OF
the four middle squares. Now, the
knight can move in eight different d.
rections from any Of those squares
and as there are twenty.eight com

Especial Correspondence

II was in the eleventh century that
Conrad II, Emperor Of the Germans
conceived the idea Of building a cas-.
lie on the summit Of a huge rock,
which rose abruptly from the level
plain near the bank Of a quiet little
river. and one can imagine the infant

room In the protecting shadow Of the
rugged pile. We close our eyes upon
this picture and let Ave hundred years

city. The castle still stands on Its
lofty rock, but II looks down upon a
sea Of red gables hemmed In by
strong wall which sweeps from the
castle rock and back again in an UNI
broken circle, and is guarded by 300
beetling towers. The lord Of the castle
has his eminent position and HIS title

FLOATING Menaaeries,

The recent inundaton Of the river
Parana has had strange consequences

Buenos Ayres. BY the great extension
Of the river Platte, the docks Of Buenos

from the banks Of the Parana.
These have brought hosts Of tropical
animals, hundreds of big elephants
and many crocodiles. Even a tiger cub

Junk Dealer Missed Chance.

A junk dealer at Reggie Emilia,
Italy. some time ago bought q dllap-
idated picture for half a franc, and
vainly exposed II for sale for months.
Eventually Prof Balletti, an amateur
collector, happened to see the picture
and offered FIVE francs for II. The
junk dealer gleefully sold It, but he is
now deeply chagrined, having learned
that Prof. Ballettl has refused an Of.
fer OF 10000 francs for the picture,
which is apparently Van Dyke.

 The reader of this notice is specially invited to come. Shall this go on to the end of life? The old men have been pursuing this path, not even hearing the voice of God for years and years, and now many of our young men are already following in the same path.

 Will not the man young or old who reads this invitation come this evening and every evening to the close of this meeting and become a nearer and a thinker and a doer till the end of life?
