picture Of the bird was painted on

A Problem In Numbers.

No one Is known to have succeeded
In finding two integral numbers such
that the sum Of their cubes would pro-
duce the cube OF whole number. The
cubes OF the first ten numbers give the
following series: 1-S-27-64 125 -216-343-
b12-720-1 900. This series may be pro-
longed indefinitely. The problem would
then be to find two members OF the
series such that their sum is just equal
TO another member. Adding 125 and
216. we get 341, which is certainly
pretty close TO 343 Again, adding 216
and 512, we obtain 72S, which is with
I'm a single unit OF TOO, another member
Of the series. Another example OF be-
ing very close, but not-exact Is that
100 plus 1000 gives 1.729, which Is but
n single unit more than LIPS. the cube
OF IL. 1t will thus be seen that the
first twelve cubes yield two cases
where the approximation is but a unit
out OF the way. AS the possible cubes
are infinite I'm number, II may seem
worth while to prosecute the search

CIGARETTES AND TEA.
A Part Of the Routine Of Every Russian
Business House.

"You forget" I observed, "that Rus
STA Is the original home and habitat OF
the cigarette" says the Odessa CORE
spondent ofthe London Standard.
"The little paper tube Of tobacco was,
- 10 say, a national institution among
the Russians, gentle and simple, long
before IL was seen between the lips Of
the Englishman and Frenchman."
My friend, British merchant, on
his first visit to Russia, was being In.
troduced to local banking house. AS
the cashier momentarily laid aside his
cigarette In convenient ash tray to
attend to us my visitor looked amazed
ly around the spacious room, where
here and there among the staff Of six
smoke Of many cigarettes. The CASH
Ter proffered his cigarette case.
"Well, do you know" said my
friend, "lt is not by any means our
notion Of business, and yet somehow
II looks honely and agreeable, and
none OF these fellows appears to be
lazing or shirking."
Then came further surprise for
my companion. A neatly dressed
waitress emerging from some lower
region was passing behind the chief
counter bearing large tray on which
were some ten or twelve glasses of
tea, with the usual small dish Of
sliced lemon and silver fork. The tea
was first distributed to the senior
clerks In the various departments, and
the waitress returned for further sup
plies for the rest Of the staff.
"Also Russian institution smil-
ingly queried the London merchant
Exactly" replied, "and the tea is
Of the finest quality"
From the bank we drove to the
postoffice and telegraph station. In
these places II Is forbidden to the pub
lie to smoke, but behind the counters
In every department the cigarette and
tea were just as much In evidence as
they were at the bank. The tea is al
ways supplied by the establishment,
whatever 1t may be. The cigarettes

selves.
