Here is question that will tax the
arithmetical powers of a youth. Sup
pose that for some reason or another
a shopkeeper who sold goods by
pounds and half pounds, but never in
quantities exceeding twenty pounds q

all this business with four weights
only, what must these four weights

and thirteen and a half pound. With
these 1t win be readily seen that any
weight from half pound to twenty
pounds may be determined in podnds
and half pounds.-Gateway Magazine.
