An Old Problem.

An old problem that seems al
most beyond belief is based on geo
metric progression. 1t is related
that certain king, pleased with
some service of one of his subjects,
told him that he would give him
whatever he asked for a reward.
The subject, a crafty man, told the
king that he would be content with
one grain of wheat for the first
square of the checkerboard, (twO for
the second, four for the third and
so on till the sixty-four squares had
been covered. The king laughed
and told him to count out the
grains. Before the squares were
half accounted for the 1ang stopped
him and asked if he. would be con
tent with half of the kingdom in
stead, for he then saw what sort Of
bargain he had made. By contlnu-
ing the multiplication till all the
squares are accounted for it Will be
found that the total amount Of the
contract called for II 900, 600 ,0O0,
900 bushels of wheat. Counting at
the rate Of 200 a minute would re
quire one man about 10000 years
to count the individual bushels.

Eighty Degrees If Frost.

1t is difficult for us to form any
conception of the degree Of cold
represented by the 50 degrees OF
frost recorded from certain parts Of
Russia. Sir Leopold McClmiock
tells how in one of his arctic eApedi-
tons sailor was foolish enough to
do some outdoor work at precisely
this temperature. His hands lroze
and when he rushed into the cabin
and plunged one of them into a la
sin Of water 30 cold was the hand
that the water was instantly con-
verted into a block Of ice. At -
degrees, DR.. Kane Gays, "the mus
tache and under lip form pcndu-
lous beads Of dangling lee. Pat out
your tongue and it instantly freezes
to this icy crusting. Your chm has
trick of freezing to your upper
jaw by the kindly aid of your beard,
Ny eyes have often been so glued as
10 show that even Il wink was un-
safe."3Dandoe Advcrtisrr

City Park.

The need Of a park to which our
people could resort for pleasure and
recreation has long been felt, and
though often mentioned heretofore,
no definite steps have ever been
taken towards establishing one.
There is now "a renewal of the sub
ject and it is being received with
favorable comment as far as we
have heard expression. and it is 10
be hoped viii take more tangible
shape than heretofore. Several eli
gible locations could be found but
none. perhaps, that would so near
ly fin an requirements as the Thay-
ar Grove a mile southwest Of the
city, which for years has been used
for picnic parties and other recrea-
tions. We understood that the
proposition is for the city to take the
matter in hand and we suggest that
the council take it under consider
alton At ana early date. Such an in
=tituGon has been badly needed for
years and with the prospective
growth of the city it will become an
absolute necessity.

Owing to some matters Of detail
work on the lower portion Of the
Aberdeen & Tom bigbee Valley rail
way was temporarily suspended
Monday, presumed to be incident
to rights-of-way. but on the Oko-
Iona division and near A berdeen il
was not interrupted. This state of
affairs is due primarily, as we have
it from the best Of authority, TO the
action of the council of Colum bus
in changing the plan Of the COM
pany in regard to route, etc, as APP
plies to that city, and our authority
states that it is the failure of Co
lumbus to comply in good faith
with its part of the contract that
has caused the trouble.
A majority of the municipal board
of Colum bus and a few citizens, a
portion of the press included. seem
TO lose no opportunity 10 dlsparage
and throw obstacles in the way Of
this enterprise, though we do not
believe they reflect the sentiment of

of other communities that have

tails.
