the wtti of the aawiry listener or to bejraile hfm into giving an absard reply many of these are very old and some ace excellent instances will readily occur vtho for example hai not at some period iq his existeoce been asked the following qnflsuon if a goose weighs ten poondi and half us own weight what is the weight of the goose and who boa not been tempted to replv on the instant fifteen pounds the correct answer being of course twnt pounds indeed it is u toniahin what a very simple querv will sometimes catch a ue man napping even the following have been known to succeed 11 how many dava would u take to cut up a piece of cloth oo yards long one j ord being cut off every daj or again a snail climbing up a post 20 feet high ascendi five feet ever daj and slips down foar feet ever n ght how long will the mail take to retch to top ot the post ot again a wise mac havic a window oue jard high and one vard wide and repairing more light enlarged his window to twice its former size vet the window was etill oulj one yard h gh and one ard wide how was this done this 11 a cauh qaes ion in geomeierv m arithmetic the window being diamond shaped at firs and aftcwards made square as 10 the former perhaps it is tcarcelv necessary serioaa v to po ut oat that the answer to the first is not 50 davs but 49 and to the second not 20 days but 10 since the snail gams one foot each day for 15 dayi climbs on the sixteenth dav to the top of the pole and there remains such examples are plentiful and occa aionallj both curious and amusing but the parpase of the following paper is lo illustrate a class of problem of rather a bail the ih p aatimg directly before it only as thetein here 00 wasteof euergy which in caacof the wind and ship are very great the ballof course travels at the same rate as the cue evidently it tan hot possibly travel faster now suppose a groove to be cat diagonally acrosi the tab e from one corner pockej to the other in which the bah may roll if the ball be now placed at one end of the groove and the cue held horizon tali j and moved forward as before the ball will travel along the groove and along the cuel in the same time as the coo takes to move across tfra table this is the case of the ship sailing at an angle with the direction of the wind the groove is considerable longer than the width of the table more than doable as long in fact the bali therefore travels much faster than the cue which impels it s ace it covers more than doable the dis tance in the same time it is in xtreciaslj tbetaame manner that a tacking ship is en abled to sail

in the pages of which the momentous questions havebeeu argued is that the man has gone round the monkey to going roand the pole the following has not so far as the writer is aware hitherto appeared in pnnt a train standing on an incline is held station ary bv an engine which is not sufficiently powerful to draw it up the incline a sec ond engine of the same power ss the first 11 then brought ap to assist by pushing the train from behind and the two engines to gether take the tram op the incline bap- pose the carnages to be linked together by loose chains so that when the engine in front is acting the chains are stretched and tbe buffer between ihe carnages are eep arated then when the tram is moving ouder the aetion of two engines the buffers must be either together or apart which are they it they are apart the engine be hind the tram is evidently doing no work it tbev are together then the engine in front lsdotng none but neither engines alone can move the train why then does the train move the following was ouce asked at a uui versity wfnepartj suppose three snakes each of which is swallowing another by tbe tail so that the three form a circle then when the swallowing process continues the circle evidently grows smaller now if they continue to swallow each other what will eveniuall become of the snakes of course it is clear that either the swallowing process must stop somewhere or that the snakes will vanish down each other s throats at what point then will tbe swallowing cease 1 if the reader finds himself readv on tbe spot with a clear and precise answer to this question he will have proved himself of a readier wit than the guests of the above mentioned wine- part v a little consideration however will probabi be sufficient to dear up the mystery and 1 ke the preceediog engine of the railway the problem may safely be left to the examination of the ingenious which at any given moment is moving forward fastest the top 0 oodch heel or the bottom to this appamitfy very simple question uuie persons out of ten ask ed at random will give an incorret replj for at first sight it appearr evident that both ihe top and the bottom of the wheels must of necessity he moving forward at the same rate namely the speed at which the carriage is travelling but a httle thought will ahow that thu s far from being the case a point on the bottom of the wheels is in fact b the direct motion round the axis moving backward in an opposite dir ection to that in which the carnage u pro gressing aud is consequently stationary in space while a point 00 the top of the wheel is moving forward with the doable velocity of its own motion round the axis and the speed at which the carriage moves tbe following paradox which bias given rise to much discussion in somewhat akin to the preceedmg how can a ihip sail faster than the wind every yachtsman knows that a ship can sail faster than the wind that is to sav if the wind ib blowing ten knots an hour a ship may be making 12 or 15 knots an hour how it is obvious that if the ship is sailing straight before the wind it can not at the utmost travel faster than the wind itself is blowing as a matter of fact it will travel mors slowly if on the other hand the shjp u aaibog at an angle with the wind it seems at first sight the wind most act with less effect than before and the ship in con sequence sail more slowly still but as a matter of fact tbe ship not only sails more quickly than before but more quickly than the wind itself is blowing this h a para- even those who are well ou paving each day half the amount he paid tbe dav before sapposinghim tobe famished with counters of small rake so as to be able readily to pay the shilling the answer is that he would never pay it it u true that he will pay eleven farthings in four days but the remaining three far things he can never pay this paradox vanes from the precoedjng in ode important particnlarsand deserves to be called a belter paradoxic this reason that we know that achilles in spite of all reasoning will oentainlv overtake tbe tor toise but it is mathematically demon trable that the debtor under such cixounj stances can never paj his- shilling even though he should be endued like tit boa us with the gift of immortality the following is a really excelien para dox a train starts daily from san pran- cisco to new lork and one daily from hew lotk to san i rancisoo the journey lasting seven days hon manv trains will a traveller meet journeying from san fran cisco lonew york it appears obvious at the first glance that the traveller triust meet seven trains and this is the answer thai will be given by nine people out off ten to whom tbe question is new the fact 11 overlooked that everv day during the journev a fresh train is itariiog from the other end while there are seven on the way to begin with the traveller wid therefore meet not seven trains but fourteen the following proposition is both cur ions in itself and admits of some interest ing variations in the application of the principle on which it depends ij there are more people in the world than any one person has hair on his head then there must exist at least two person who possess mdeotically the same number of hairs to a hair if the reader foils lp peroeive at once the necessity of the conclusion let him first consider as a simpler case instead of te hairs on a mans head the numberof teeth in his jaw let him snppose thijrty four persons to he assembled iq one room then the full number ot teeth in a man s jaw being thirty two it is esilv seen that even supposing one member of the partv so oafortarate as ij have no teeth at all there must be at least twv present possess ed of ident colly the same number of teeth the application of this exaxninalioii to the proposition in question 11 quite evident it is in fact raerelj a mater of larger nam bexs now to apply this principle to other cases it has been asserted for example that in a field of grass there can not he found two blades in all respects identical it will be seen however that if the blades of gross are more numerous thau the dif ferences between them perceptible to the
