E PETIT MARSEILLAIS. Mar
seilles.-M Leon Treich points
out, in L'Ordre, the partialities
AaSn1Ip

IL of that other review, LIE Masque,
which is fond of regallng It's
readers with various little problems In
deductive logic 1t is reflected In the
latter periodical that the Anglo-SaXons
are much given to this kind OF mental
exercise.
Behold one of these problems, Tor
which we are necessarily indebted 10
both publications. 1t comes TO us from
America:
Three railroad employees were en-
gagged in their normal occupation OF
running a train. Their names were
Smith, Robinson and Jones. One OF
them was the stoker; another was the
engineer; the third was brakeman.
Upon the train also were three business
men: their names were the same as
those OF the three railroad employees,
Smith, Robinson and Jones. Read on.
and gain some further information re-
garding these six men.
M. Robinson lives in Detroit. The
brakeman lives midway between Chica-
go and Detroit. NJ. Jones earns ex-
actly $4,000 year. M. Smith is
markedly superior to the fireman at
billiards. The closest neighbor Of the
brakeman is one of the voyagers in
question. His yearly income Is exactly
three times that OF the brakeman. The
traveller with the same name as the
brakeman lives in Chicago.
That is all, and 1t is supposed to be
enough for anyone possessing some
good sense. little logic and a great
deal of patience to ascertain the name
OF the engineer.
Have You time to work 1t out your
self? No? Well then. we win give
you the solution of this braincracker.
The brakeman who lives half way be-
tween Chicago and Detroit, and the
nearest neighbor of that railroad en-
ploye, one of the business men travelling
on the train, are, neither of them, the
M. Robinson who lives at Detroit, nor
is either of them M Jones. another
business man. since his salary was not
stated to be divisible by three, While the
earnings of the nearest neighbor of the
brakeman is exactly three times that of
the brakeman. The name of this
neighbor must be, then, Smith. So, If
M. Smith is the person dwelling nearest
to the guard. and II M. Robinson lives
in Detroit, then M. Jones must be the
man of affairs making his home in
Chicago, and his name must likewise be
the same as the brakeman's. Therefore
the name of the brakeman must be
Jones.
So far, SO good Now. the fireman
may be called either Smith or Robin
son. But he cannots be called Smith
for certain, because 1t is stated that the
fireman is always beaten by Smith at
billiards. The fireman's name must
then be Robinson. So much for the
names Of two railroad men, and con-
sequently. the name of the engineer
must be Smith.
