THE puzzLE IN SQUARES,

THE PUZZLE ~ SQUARES,
No one solved this problem, Those who
have sent in solutions seem all to have
fallen into the common error Of reading
the conditions carelessly. An ARRANGEMENT
OF twenty-one checkers was shown. each
OF which could be used as the corner Of
one or more perfect squares, and It was
stated that 1t was usually conceded that
there were thirty.seven squares in the
diagram.
Readers OF THE Sun were asked to re-
move one Of these checkers and to ar
range the remaining twenty In such a
manner they they should form the corners
OF twenty-one perfect squares. Not a
word was said about seeing how many
squares they could make with twenty
checkers.
The remarks that followed the state.
ment OF the prime condition were tho trap
In the problem and were intended to throw
the solver of the track by diverting his
attention from the main proposition. This
style OF problem Is very old and was
largely used by the ancients az a test

that had nothing to do with it,

a number Of interesting theories as to
the correct solution TO this problem have
come to hand. but no one seems to be
familiar with the rule for solving uucs-
ti0ns Of this kind conseq uently there are
more or less widely divergent views OF
the figures that should be contained In
the answer.
In real lifc the problem came up In
the construction Of n Easorneter. Il being
necessary to know the increased capacity
Of the raised dome. Tho simplest solu-
tion is to use HuyEhem's approximation
for the length OF circular arc. In
plain English the length Of the arc i- the
difference OF eight times the chord Of
half the arc and the chord Of the whole
arc divided by three. A formula:

C. II. Pool Of Binghamton worked II
out on this ba sis and his answer 4. that
the new height should be 10 feet ii.Iis

10 feet 1914 inch: Frank J. Hughes. II
feet o.15 inch. and George r. Case. 10 feet
1888 inch. II is curious that no two Of
these agree.
The answer to those who think the

were to keep on pulling in the ends until

HO! HUM! WE'LL TAKE A SEAT
WAY UP ON THE ROOF
New York, Oct. 18.-The best price
brought by seat on the New York
Stock Exchange, during the past few
years, has been somewhere in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
But two boxes in the parterre tier
of the Metropolitan Opera House,
commonly known as the golden

within the last week, one bringing, it
is reported, something over 100000,
the other nearly 100000. ~
The original stock value of par.
terre box, when the opera house was
financed and built, was $30,000 The
great demand for boxes by people of
wealth, craving this purchasable
mark of social distinction, has
brought about the tremendous in
crease in valuation.
One of the boxes which has Just
changed hands is No. 26, bought from
the estate of the late Samuel D. Bah
cock by William, Ross Proctor. It is
one of the much coveted ones, being
near the center Of the horseshoe"
between the boxes of Robert w. Goe-
let and j. Woodward Haven.
The other, the one said to have
