WHEAT PROBLEM
Not Enough Produced In the World
To Cover the Squares On
CheckerbOard.

Suppose you take checkerboard,
place one grain of wheat on the first
square and double the number on each
of the other sixty-three squares. How
many grains do you suppose would be
necessary to cover the last square?"
This question was put to The Led
ger the other day and back went the
guess, "Oh. ten or fifteen bushels"
Ten or fifteen bushels! Why, do
you know that there is not enough
wheat produced in the entire world to
cover that last square?"
The suggestion really sounded fool
ish, but when one takes out his pencil
and starts to figure. he will mighty
soon come to the conclusion that it
would take millions OF bushels Sof
wheat to cover the last square.
Just start the checkerboard of six
ty-four square with one grain and
double the amount on all the other
squares and you will be surprised at
the result, There is not enough wheat
in the world to cover the last square.

CeIebrating-Many Things Of
Curious Interest There.

Panama, January 21.--To commem-
crate the discovery of the Pacific
ocean by Balboa the National Expo
ton of the republic of Pananam will be
opened today. The charm of a trop-
ical setting and of picturesque native
sports and industries will be COM
bined with the more striking features
Of great American fairs. II is the
first big exposition held in Central
America, and the close relations of the
natives with Spain and the United
States have brought participation by
those countries, as we'll as represen-
tatlon from many of the Central and
South American countries. Cuba has
also Joined in the event, and has con-
structed its own, building on the fair
grounds
After the 100-day exposition is over
the buildings will be retained as a
governmental center and as museums
and places of gathering. One of the
most interesting exhibits is that of
Ecuador, in the form of a collection
of relics of the people who inhabited
Central and South American in an
cient times. This exhibit rivals in in
terest the many exhibits brought from
the San Francisco Exposition by the
United States government.
One of the buildings will show the
growth of the infant republic, now
only dozen years old. The natural
resources, industries, arts and crafts
of the people will be shown effectively.
A palace of education has been con-
structed and other buildings are de-
voted to agriculture, fine arts, govern
ment, commerce and industry.

new INVENTION
May DO Away With Telegraph Oper-
atOrs AZ No Distant Day.


A new invention is being operated
in the offices of the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Columbus, o., which may do
away with newspaper and railroad
telegraphers. This invention is tele-
graphic typewriter or printing tele-
graph II is now being used by the
Pennsylvania railroad between there
and Pittsburg. The machine, II is
claimed, does the work of four opera
tors by sending about eighty railroad
messages per hour. This is at the
rate of seventy-fve words minute
No receiving operator is necessary BY
way of contrast, it is pointed out that
good operator, by key and sounder,
with the Morse method, can average
only thirty-five to forty ordinary rail-
road messages per hour.
The prediction is made that the ma.
chine will be adopted by the press
wire services. When that is done, it
is claimed, newspaper reporter will
take the place of telegrapher and
will sit down at the keyboard and send
his stories over the wire as he writes
it with the editors at the receiving end
of the line tearing off the copy as 1t
comes in.
1t is claimed that an expert tele-
grapher is not needed to operate one
of these machines. 1t consists of an
ordinary typewriter keyboard over
which the messages are sent and two
typewriters are installed at each end
Ct the line Each and every depressed
key will print a corresponding letter
on a typewriter in the office of the
sending operator and will also print
the same letter on the receiving type
writer, at the other end of the line.
The typewriters are loaded with roll
paper. The attendant merely tears
off the messages as they come. While
one of the typewriters in the Column
bus office is recording what is being
sent from here the other machine is
receiving another message that is be-
ing sent at the same time over the
same wire from Pittsburg.
One of the keys rings bell on the
machine at the other end of the line
by which the attendant at the other
end is signalled to insert carbon pa
per or special forms when desired, or
for any other reason when special at
tention is desired No special battery
or power is required to operate the
printers.
They are merely old typewriters
with the keyboards removed and other
attachments made. After the combi-
nation of signals, or electrical i'm
pulses, are received over the line, the
letters are printed mechanically by
the operation of small moter driving
shaft
