A story like this, which ends miserably in a graveyard, can only come from a diseased imagination. No ono wants to seo such sights nor hear such sounds.

Multiply it by itself and have 225. Now multiply 225 by then multiply that product by itself, and so on until fifteen products have been multiplied by themselves iu turn. The question aroused considerable interest among lawyer in Portland, and their best mathematician, after struggling with the problem long enough to see how in !i labor was entailed in the solution made the following discouraging report iqion it: Tho final product called for contains 38.539 figures (the first of which aro 1,412) Allowing three figures to an inch, the answer would be over 1,070 feet long. To perform the operation would require .about 500.000,000 figures If thoy can he wad at tlie rate of 100 a minute a person working ten hours a day for 300 dax in each year would bo twenty-eigyears about it.

Assuming that the; cipher is used on anaverage once in ten times, 475.000,000 approximates tlie actual number. Boston Transcript. prob-deav- o u 1 Ilobi.
