IMPOSSIBLE PROBLEMS.
squarine the Circle, Perpetual Motion
and Defying Gravitation.

Squarino the Circle, Perpetual Motion
and Defying Gravitation.
The circle has never been exactly
squared. They have been trying dur
ing G,O00 years and have not yet found
the length of the side of square equal
in area to any given circle. The reason
of this is because the area of circle
has never been found, and this because
the ratio of the diameter to the cir
conference is yet unknown.
The first eleven figures of the ratio,
3.1415926535. are a mere beginning.
They have been computed out to go
figures without the decimal coming to
an end-that is, the figures representing
the length of the circumference and OF
the diameter are known to be incom-
measurable. or impossible to express
by two whole numbers.
The enormous labor of carrying out
this dividing of Go integers could have
as we'll been saved, because the higher
mathematics has proved that the ratio
cannot be expressed in finite number
of terms. Hence the work of attempt
ing to square the circle is wasted,
likewise the useless labors of perpet-
nal motion seekers, searcherS after the
square root of one-half and overthrow
ers of the law of gravitation.-Edgar

HEAVY ARTILLERY.
There's Vast Difference Between .
Howitzer and a Bio Gun.


Howitzer and Big Gun.
Not every civilian can tell offhand
the difference between a gun and a
howitzer. According to the Army and
Navy Journal, the howitzer, in proper
ton to its weight, throws shell very
much heavier than that which gun
throws, but gives it much less muzzle
velocity and has a CORRESPONDENCE
shorter range.
Take, for example, modern gun
that weighs forty tons, gives muzzle
velocity of 5000 feet second and has
a range Of anything up to fifteen miles.
A howitzer Of the same caliber would
weigh only SO tons and would give
muzzle velocity Of only 1.100 feet a
second
The gun can be mounted only on
board ship or in permanent fortihca-
lions. but the howitzer can be taken
into the field. 1t has a special trans
porting wagon, from which 1t can be
readily shifted to its firing carriage.
The foreign 63 inch howitzer is capa-
BILE of being fired up to 60 degrees of
elevation and at 43 degrees has range
of 10000 yards, its maximum. The
shell weighs 76O pounds and carries as
burster ia pounds Of high explosive.
II is said that the shell contains no
shrapnel. but that assertion is open to
doubt.

Taking Off the Chill.


This story is probably exaggerated.
Maclyn Arbuckle says darby in Gal
weston got an offer of a job in Mime
apo,is and. having desire TO visit the
north. started for his new place in the
middle of January. Texas was balmy
when he left, but he stepped OF the
steam heated train at his destination
into the middle of the worst blizzard
in fifteen years In his cotton shirt
and ragged overalls the new arrival
staggered along for perhaps a hun
bred yards, then stiffened like board
and rolled over into snowdrift
There, according to Arbuckle, po-
liceman found him some time later
and. with the aid Of two hardy citi-
zens, carried the body to the morgue,
where the coroner diagnosed the case
as one of death by exposure, and. since
tba earth was frozen so hard that
burials were impossible, the unknown
was sent to the crematory.
On arrival there an attendant slid
the body into the white hot interior
of the receptacle and went OF to bed
Next morning another body was
brought to him. AS he opened the
steel door of the crematory and drew
back from the gush of terrific heat
that shot out into his face complain
ing voice came forth from the inside
saying:

There are no friends like old friends
To help US with the load
That all must bear who journey
Ger LIES uneven road.
And when unconquered sorrows
The weary hours invest
The kindly words Of old friends
Are always found the best
There are no friends like old tEiends

When shadows fall and deepen
Through life's declining years.
And when our faltering footsteps
Approach the great divide
Well long to meet the old friends

psred Them to Shoot Him.

In 1864 Colonel Daniels of the Sew
enth Rhode Island became unpopular
with some of his command, and ru-
NOR spread that he would be shot at
the next engagement. He heard OF 1t.
1t was customary when guns had been
loaded for some time TO have them dis
charged into some convenient bank,
and Colonel Daniels took advantage OF
this. Marching his regiment out with
loaded rifles, lie faced them toward
suitable elevation, and, taking position
on the top of it and in front of them
as at dress parade, he gave the com
mands Ready" "Aim!" Fire" and
the pieces were discharged.
Needless to say, any man could have
shot him with little danger of discov-
cry, and, needless to say also, none or
them did. There were no more threats

THE NEW MEXICAN POLICY

IL probably required a disaster like
that which overlook the Lusitania to
awaken the President TO the outrages
at home In Mexico. And II may be
that the indifference OF the admins
tration towards the indignities prac-
ticed on American citizens In Mexico
encouraged the Germans TO believe
that President Wilson would similarly
wash bis hands OF any danger into
which Americans might fall on the
high seas. The position OF this gov
ernment has been that Americans who
remained in the revolution-torn repub-
lie did so at their own peril. The
statement issued by President Wilson
yesterday partakes OF a change OF at
utude toward the warning factions in
Mexico. II expresses the promised
change OF policy toward Mexico. and
the inference to be drawn is determi-
nation on the part OF the administra-
ton to intervene II the factional lead
ers do not Immediately get together.
form some sort OF stable government
and cease the banditti warfare that
has been going on.
Intervention by armed force is not
made explicit, but that would seem to
be the only course left tho United
States In case the factions ignored
the warnings OF this country. Presi-
dent Wilson has committed himself
with regard to Mexico as much as he
did with Germany in his strict &C
countability" note. and he cannot re-
cede from one or the other without
losing something OF the prestige the
United States has held toward the ma
tons OF the world.

CHARACTER OF EXPORTS

IL is with mingled feelings that The
Intelligencer extends its most cordial
approval OF Governor Hatheld's ap-
pointment OF DR.. s. L. Jepson. OF this
city. as State Commissioner Of
Health. II rejoices with DIR. Jcpson
over the distinction and honor that

fashion, but It regrets that the duties
OF his position will demand his re-
moval from Wheeling. The Governor
could not have raked the State over
with a fine-tooth comb and have found
man better qualified for the Office.
The best years OF DR.. Jepson's life
have been devoted to the study OF
the public health. and the superior
sanitary and health conditions of
Wheeling today are due in q large
measure to his initiative during his
incumbency as health oHicer OF the
