A few facts learned at the recent in

fair to make Wyoming one of the fore,
most mixed farming and stock raising

less, it Is already attracting an unlim!t-
ed demand for II best bred stock, as
well as a desirable class of investors

EIGHT STORY CHESS.

DR.. Ferdinand Mack. of Hamburg, proposes TO
add to the terroTs Of chess by raising 10 the third
dimension. He proposes cubical chess as an ad-

The cubng he proposes 10 accomplish BY rigging
a series of eight chessboards, above the other
connecting them the corners by thin rods. The
scope Of the game would thus extend 5l2 squares
instead of 6i
At the opening of the game the pieces and pawns

The moves are extensions OF the present ones
