By Estena Llttei. Aged II. Cambridge

Dear Busy Bees; This is my first
letter, think, in your section. |
am IN the Seventh grade at school,
and ] have three teachers. | am in
the junior high school, which has
three grades in it. The story ! am
going to tell YOU about is a little boy
named Flapjack Joe.
fils mother was the seamstress Of
the little mountain village, while Joe
did odd Jobs when he could. His
mother vas Ill bed most OF the time
SO Joe had to get the meals.
One day while he was getting din
ser some boys came along to get
him to go hshing with them. When
they saw what he was doing they
cried out, "Aw. Joe, Flapjack Joe"
Joe turned painfully red at this,
tnt said Il can't go. boys; I've got
IS stay home and get dinner" The
aext day blizzard came up. In
the Middle Of the afternoon a knock
vas heard and when Joe opened the
door two men stood at it.
One OF the men asked. "Boy. do
you know where Bear Camp is?"
sure replied ice, 1T is about
mile above here an about three
miles northwest from here"
DO you know where we could
hnd a guide
"Ill be your guide. l know the
xay we'll"
II took them FIVE hours TO get
there and when they did there was
no fire or people there.
They were very hungry, so one of
the men said. Boy, do YOU know
how to cook" Joe said he did, and
the man said, "Ill give you a dollar
then, SO get to work" Joe made
them hapiacks and the men said
they were SO good that they melted
IN their mouths. He was so busy
that he was very tired inside of so
minutes.
The man had said that he would
give him dollar, but when Joe
looked at it it was $5 bill oe
had never had so much money in
his life at once.
Joe looked up at the man and slut
tered. why, you said you was goin
to give me dollar, not five" The
man smiled and said, II know, but
the tapJacks were worth it and more,
too. sonny SO you had better
take it"
That same man was later Joe's
best friend and helped him through
college when he was older.

Answer to the Inspectors Problem.

! Fhho"St W tiiS Ah9E$StSt ~-A''
1t was explained that the scales
were off center"-one arm longer
than the other-and yet weighted TO
balance evenly.
Articles weighed on such scales
will register out of their true weight
in the same proportions as the
length OF the arms from the iul-
crum point are to each other.
The rule for a:certaining the dis
crepancy OF such scales aud the true
weight OF articles weighed upon
them is as follows:
Weigh the articles or one side
of the scales, then upon the other.
Multiply the two results together
and the square root OF the produce
VIII be the true weight OF the ar
ticle.''
The Inspector found that three
pyramids on the long arm OF thf
scales balanced against eight cubes
on the short end. Therefore one
pyramid weighed agains, two and
thirds cubes.
Then, reversing matter, he found
that six pyramids on the short arm
balanced with one cube on the long
arm.

Can These Things Be Truet

A traveller in a little Canadian ,ll-
lage had stopped to speak TO an cid
man who was saving wood in a Lack
yard, and said to him, pitylngly, mat
he must see very few things of any
interest in so narrow and confined
a life. The old man was sharper
than he looked, and replied as fol-
lows:
Though seldom from my yard I
roam.
I saw some queer things here at
home.
I saw wood floating IN the air,
I saw a sky lark bigger than a bear
/ saw an elephant with arms and
hands,
I saw a baby breaking iron bands,
| saw a blacksmith weighing half a
ton,
saw a statue sing and laugh and
run,
l saw a school boy nearly 10 feet
tall.
I saw an oak tree span Niagaras $
! saw rainbow black and white end
brown,
I saw a parasol walk alone through
town.

equaled two and two-thirds cube,
while on the short arm it weighed
one-sixth of a cube.
One-sixth multiplied by two and
'tu o-thirds equals four-ninths, the
square root of which is two-thirds.
Therefore a pyramid weighs two
thirds of square
Assuming that pyramid weigh
our ounce. a cube would weigh one
and orc-half ounces, and the answer

WEARY WILLIE AND TIRED
TIM.
Puzzle,

Weary Willie, who had outstayed
bis welcome at Joytown, started for
Picasantville, simultaneously with
the departure of Tired Tim from
Pleasantville for Joytown.
They met and exchanged the fra
ternal grip as shown in the upper
picture. After an afectionate part
ing, they continued their journeys.
Pleasantville proved so unpleas-
ant in its greeting to Weary, that
without tarrying, he retraced his
steps to Joytown.
Tim received a Joyous reception
at Joytown. and at once turned
about on his return promenade TO
Pleasantville.
They met for the second time as
shown in the lower picture.
The men maintained their respect
ed speeds throughout, SO who can
tell from the data given, how many
miles in length is the promenade
from Joytown to Pleasantville?
