the day. When a young man he began
his contributions 10 the newspapers
and the invention Of mechanical puz-
zles. some OF which attained an almost
universal craze.
One OF tie first Inventions 10 bring
him fame was the Fifteen Puzzle"
Later came The Tigers and the
Men" Pigs in Clover "Parchesi"
and The Disappearing Chinaman."
Mr LOyd's most profitable idea was
The Donkey" puzzle. OF which l..
600 1000 009 were sold.
Mr. Lloyd took the view that there
was something mere in his puzzles
than the simple amusement OF the mo
msnt He believed that he had in his
devices come across something which
would sharpen the wits OF the aver
age man. He pointed out that they
could interest and amuse men who re
garded ordinary mathematics with dis
gust. and that the boy who had at
school shrunk from the very idea OF
an algebraical square root. would de
vote his spare moments 10 the solu
ton OF a puzzle which involved the
same principles as the sum. Just be
cause he was interested. Consequent
ly. he maintained that he supplied
something which the average system
Of education had missed.
Apart from his puzzles Mr.. Love
was for a time the editor OF the Sani
tary Engineer. and a shrewd operator

number OF magazines. He was a mem
