Half the people you meet complain Of

stimulants. Bear in mind that this worn

FEW QUEER ANC,--NT RIDDLES
Archlmedss, Famous Mathematician

Centuries ago Samson proposed Q
riddle--the earliest of which history
treats--to the Philistines, allowing
them week in which to answer 1t, Q

insufficient but for the assistance OF
Samson's wife.
Hiram, king Of Tyre, had mania
for constructing riddles, as also had
Solomon, and the wager OF an i'm
mense sum of money between the two
as to which could construct the most
perplexing one was won by the latter.
Archimedes. the famous mathemati-
clan Of Syracuse, passed most OF his
leisure-to the surprise of many Of his
friends-in the production or solving
Of puzzles and his discovery of how
much alloy it's maker had mixed with
the gold of King Hiero's crown was
nothing but the solution of puzzle.

1t called forth much discussion from
the members Of that august body, who
explained the singular circumstance In
different ways to their entire salts

the pail Of water did weigh moro when
there was a live fish In it.
