A Biblical Mathematician.

An interesting problem in mathe
matics assumes the form of a tradition
connecting itself with the name of JIG.
sephus. the Jewish historian. After
the Romans had captured Potopat, so
the story runs, Josephus and forty 9th
ers sought shelter in cave. So afraid
were they of falling into the hands of
the Romans that all Of them excepting
.JosephuS and one other man resolved
to kill themselves. The wit of the his
torian began to work. devising a
scheme to save himself and this other
man who was like minded with him.
self. He therefore proposed that they
all stand in Il Semicircle. that they put
eat h other to death. killing every third
man~in regular order and that the last
surviving man should then commit sui
eide. This agreed upon. he was care
full to place his like minded comrade
in the sixteenth place in the line and
himself in place thirty-one. with the
result that the two were the last that
We're left and by this means escaped
death. 1t is Il true problem. and the
question was TO know before the kill
ing began which numbers in line the
two friends should assume. Louisville

COURTS OF TENNESSEE HAVE
A PROBLEM TO SETTLE
BY Associates Press.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec 21.--At what
speed shall the Nashville Interrurban
Company run its cars past the resi-
dence of James S. Caldwell. president
of the Cumberland Telegraph and Tel
ephdne Company is a problem which
the state railroad commission has de-
clined to act on.
In securing a right of way past the
Caldwell home several concessions
were exacted of the road. One limited
the speed at this point to ten miles
an hour. The contract was put into a
chancery decree. Now seventy nine
citizens OF Franklin, a terminus OF the
road, have petitioned the railroad com
mission to compel higher speed at
the Caldwell home, alleging that every
car is delayed two minutes there. The
commission, however, holds that the
matter is one for the courts, said
Commissioner Frank Avent yesterday.
In the meantime charge OF con-
tempt arising from alleged violation
of the speed limit is pending in the
appellate courts

cover design, being most artistic and

that a strike was threatened in Man

were making a strong stand against the

peated Mr.. Earle on being asked a
question to that effect. 4 should say
so. The smost Of the trouble comes
either from little men who have been
given some temporary authority in
case of accidents, disasters, or other
occurrences, or from big men who
have a mistaken idea of what the mo-
ton picture people are really doing
for the world. At the Briceville mine
disaster. the mine owners tried to
prevent me from making pictures of
their mine premises. They said that
we had no business to make capital
hibiting pictures Of it and they tried
to work up some sentimental opposi-
ton to my making the pictures. The
truth was that the mine owners did
not want the public to see a picture
of their property becaues that would
help shape public opinion into Iegis-
lation that would safe guard the lives
of their employees.
AT some public functions some
policeman frequently tries to move me
or prevent my getting into a good
place to make a picture. Some people
also object to having their pictures
made. They fail to understand that
the picture man, like the newspaper,
is recorder of history and that the
scenes transmitted to the photograph
er's long ribbon negative are not only
Of great interest to people every
where today but that many of them
will be doubly valuable in the years
to come. Suppose the motion pic
ture had been invented before the
Civil war-don't you think some of
those stirring scenes would be most
valuable and interesting now"
Mr.. Earle is greatly pleased with his
