now THE INVENTOR OF
CHESS WAS AWARDED

Phin's Seven Follies of Science, d
Wan Nostrand Co., publishers, New
York: An Arabian author. Al Sephadi
Irelates the following curious anecdote:
A mathematician named Sessa, the
Ison of Dahar, the subject of an Indian
Iprince, having, invented the game OF
Ichess. his sovereign was highly pleased
with tie invention, and wishing to con-
tier on him some reward worthy of his
lnaghifcence, desired him to ask what
lever be thought proper assuring him
| that it would be granted. w The mathe-
| Imatician, However, only asked for a
/ grain Of wheat for the first square of
| the Scfess-board, two for the second,
four for the third, and so on to the
1 last, Or sixty-fourth. The prince at
first was almost incensed at this demand,
|conceiving that it was ill-suited to- his
|liberality. By the advice of his cour-
tiers. however. he ordered his vizier
to comply with S,essa's request, but the
minister was much astonished when,
having caused the quantity of wheat
necessary to fulfil the princes. order to
be calculated, he found that all the grain
in the royal granaries, and even all that
in those of his subjects and in all Asia,
would not be sufficient.
He therefor informed the prince, who
|sent for the mathematician, and candid
ly acknowledged that he was not rich
Eenough to be able. to comply with his
demand, the ingenuity of which aston
ished him still more than the game he
had invented. 80 's~
1t will be found by, calculation that
the sixty-fourth term of the double pro-
Egression, beginning with unity, is o,223,-
372,o36,S54,775, ,SoS. and the sum of all
the terms of this double progression
beginning with unity, may be obtained
by doubling the last term and subtract
ing the first from the sum- The num-
Iber, therefore, Of the grains of wheat
required to satisfy Sessa's demand will
be I8,446,744,o73,7oo,55I
Now if pint contains o,2I6 grains of
wheat, a gallon will contain 1923, and
"a bushel 6 gallons) will contain 58o,784
Dividing the number of grains by this
quantity, we get 3I,274oo7,4I2,2o5 for
the number of bushels necessary to dis
charge the promise of the Indian prince.
And if we suppose that one acre of
land is capable of producing in one
year thirty bushels of wheat, it would
require I,o42, 2,4ooo13743 acres, which is
more than eight times the entire surface
of the globe. for the diameter of the
earth being taken at 1890 miles, its
whole surface. including land and water,
will amount to very little more than
I26,437, ,88o,177 square acres.
If the price Of bushel of wheat be
estimated at ST. the value of the above
quantity probably exceeds that of all
the riches on the earth.

Artist ziem,s queer House.

Ziem, the artist, was, a queer charac-
ter. He lived in a house at the top Of
the Rue Lepic on Montmartre. His
house. was his castle in the literal sense
of the word. 1t was difficult to obtain
admission, for. the painter. had an up4
per window out of which he always
looked when the bell rang and interro-
gated his would be visitors. He had d
basket which he let down, by. a cord to
receive packages or messages, and he
slept in a wonderful swinging bed.
His house was veritable museum, IL
Eliminated Persian manuscripts being
part of his collection. Some Of these
were worth thousands of francs, but 1t
was impossible to persuade him to sell
any of them. In place of a newell post
on his stairway stood the PROV of "a
gilded gondola, and, closely immured
In his studio, he painted pictures of

Athletlc Feats ON tne sroon.

Athletic Feats ON the MOON.
Did you ever get to thinking that you
would enjoy sudden translation from
the earth to the moon? If yon have,
did you ever. figure on the wonderful
feats Of muscular strength with which
you could astonish our luminary neigh
bors, providing gravitation would have
mo more effect accordingly there than
here? Let us figure: The moon only
weighs one-eightieth part as much as
the earth. Grayitation must therefore
be correspo pondingly less.s. H therefore
d man weighed 40 pounds son this
earth he would weiglf but a fraction
ever twenty pounds according to the
scales used on the moon. If, however,
his muscles and frame remained the
samesast they9HHEe before being trans
ferred to, our .silyery sister world he
could "astonish the natives with his
astounding athletic and muscular feats.
He would be able to shoulder an ele-
plant of the regulation size and to
yank small mountain out by the
roots. The buoyancy Of his body would
be so great that athletic feats would
be easily accomplished. He could run
a mile In something less than two Sec
onds or could by a single bound leap
over a wall twenty four feet high with
out greater exertion than would be re-
quired here in clearing one only two
feet In height. asa J.. -. D. Z. fs

Everybody paints, whether he owns
a house in the suburbs or rents a fiat
In the metropolis. And what troubles
the mind most is the disposition of the
brushes. when the job is partly com-
pleted. Some folk leave them In the
paint, some wash them in turpentfne,
some soak them In alcohol, some inn
merse them in linseed oil. An author
ity advises all amateur, as wellTas pro-
fessional painters to. drop their brushes
into a bucket or bottle of, water and
forget them. When needed again they
will be as soft and plant as when
new. I have tried the trick and can
recommend it.-New York Press.

PECULIAR WORKINGS

Louis Miller, Chris Larson, John F.
Johnson and George Sorensen, who re.
turned last night from Sand creek and
other streams in that section, where
they had been fishing, report a peculiar
phase of the Colorado fish and game
laws. Mr.. Miller and President Ivin.
son of the First National bank used to
fish a great deal in the Cache la Poudre
river, catching some fine trout at times.
The party on the present trip followed
a road the two used to follow and
found 1t obstructed by a gate safely
locked, and with a signboard bearing
this legend: THE supreme court OF
Colorado declared me to be the owner
of the land and water inside this en-
closure and l also own the fish. Keep
out" Mr.. Miller says the success of
the party was not first rate. Sand
creek is practically drained for irriga.
ton purposes and thousands OF fish
have been left to die for wan of water.

MATERIAL FOR CANAL.
Locomotives to Be Assembled by End
of the Next Year.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Estimates for
canal appropriations for 1907 are now
in course of preparation at the office
of the isthmian canal commission.
From present indications these esti-
mates will be about the last to be
made for what is known as the canal
plants. 1t is believed that all of the
locomotives, fat cars, dredges, steam
shovels and other equipment of an ex-
pensive character will have been as
sembled on the isthmus by the end of
1907, that will be needed for the en-
tire period of canal construction.
No application has yet been made to
the commission for the specifications
recently issued for the supply of Chi
nese coolie labor for canal construc-
ton work. This does not mean, how
ever, that no bids will be received.
