An Ancient Problem That Has Turned
Many Brains Dizzy.
The Oldest of problems is that of
squaring the circle--i. e., Of telling the
precise length Of the side of square
whose area will equal the area of a
given circle.

made 500 years before the exodus of
the Jews. Since at least 1900 b. G.

One scientist, a professor Of Zurich

Playful Monkeys.

Apes and gorillas are usually vicious
and resentful and less addicted to
playful tricks than the common mon

know, is a trickster both IN his wild

ests monkeys spend hours In swinging
from the branches Of trees. suspended
by their tails. and chattering and gri-
macing with evident signs Of delight.

march through the Carolinas, arrived
before Cheraw, on the great Pedee
river. Here the Seventeenth corps,
with my regiment, the Sixty-fourtn IL

shooters, in the lead as skirmishers,

end of the only bridge there over the
river, and, if possible, prevent the
enemy from destroying it. We reached
the bridge after the exchange of many
shots with fleeing squads of the en-
