The story traveled around the world and persisted to such an extent that many travelers and scientists who have visited the country since huve made efforts to verify the story. Dr. Ralph Linton of the Field anthropological expedition spent two years In Madagascar and tried to locate a tree. lie encountered several persons who believed that such a thing existed, but the tree was always in some other part of the country, and he arrived at the conclusion that the story was a myth. 1 " The boys of the.

The problem of squaring the circle is not a problem of drawing a square around a circle. The latter Is easily done by making the" side of the square the same length as the diameter of the circle. As stated by all recognized authorities, the problem is to describe a square which shall be exactly equal In area to a given circle. ' Since the area of a circle Is a little over 3.14 (pi) times the square of Its radius, and since the length of side of an equal square is the square root of this area, It will be seen that the only problem of quadrature or the squaring of the circle Is to get the exact value of this fraction "pi."' It has been worked out by various mathematK clans to at least 707 places f decimals, which is far more exact than Is required for mcst practical purposes, though theoretically tt . Is. to determine It exactly. A geometric solution, of , the problem ; that Is, to describe a square equal In area to a given circle, by means of rules and compasses 'alone, has also been shown to be impossible, though approximate results can be obtained by various methods.
