OYSTER EATING

French Scientists Give Native
Bivalves an Extremely Bad

According to q Paris correspondent

scented a full assembly of their col.
leagues with a report on the dangers NJ

thorty began his Investigations twelve
years ago. He has come to the conciu-
sion that oysters are n powerful agent
in the dissemination OF typhoid feyers
not, Of course. all oysters. but only

Two Problems

Please solve the following for me-
Q) Divide 60 bushels of wheat among
three persons so that one may get
one-third, another one fourth and the
last one-fifth.
(2) triangle has base $50 yards
and two sides 800 yards. What is
the altitude? A. l.. w.
The first problem is impossible. as
one-third, one-fourth and one-ffth do
not make the whole. Were the frac-
tonal parts one half, one third and
one-sixth, or any other fractions whose
sum would be unity. ;lie problcln would
be solvable
In the second case, draw the triangle
and let fall the perpendicular from
the yerteX. This IS the altitude, ana
will divide the base into two equal
parts. Using one of the two triangles
into which the original has bcan d.
4 vided one sees that it is a right
anglcd triangle, and that the hypote-
muse (3O0) and the base (225) are
| known. The square root Of the differ
ence of the squares OF these lines vii
