This can be continued as foHows: Take the crossed strings between the strings that run from finger to finger and grasp them between1 the thumbs and forefingers of either hand, just as you have been doing with the other figures. Then lift these crossed, strings over the side strings and bring your hands up and under them, as shown in Fig. If which is the beginning of this manoeuvre. If you now spread your thumbs and forefingers, at the same time lifting the strings from the hands that hold them, you will get Fig. 2. Now you will notice that there are two strings running through the middle of this figure. In Fig. 2 we have designated f i I ' y )r them as A and B. Arrange these strings so" that they do not cross it might be well to have a friend do this for you and then grasp the strings with the little fingers, pujling them apart and over the crossed strings at the side. Bring your hands up, still gripping A and B with the little fingers, so that yon can pick up the crossed strings on your thumbs and forefingers. Lift the strings off the hands, puflingyonr own hands apart, and release the strings held by your little fingers. The whole figure will now fall apart into the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 twin loops around each hand. This- - figure is called The Clock." These figures, as we ha?e noticed, have to be done by two people. We shall have some figures for one person very soon.

After his first move the wine bottle conof a pint of tained wine, and the water bottle a pint of water mixed with a quarter of a pint of wine, or of a pint of mixture. Now the next move conof this sisted in removing one-fifh of s pint of mixture water mixed with one-fifof a quarter of a pint of wine. So he left In the water bottle four-fiftof a quarter of a pint of wine one-fifof a pint while he transferred to the wine bottle the same amount of water. It was also related that the host had stolen a pint of wine a day for thirty days from a cask holding 100 Each time he had taken a pints. pint he had put in a pint of water. How much exactly of the wine had he taken? We warned you that this was a hard one. The answer consists of a decimal of 58 points! We can come very close by saying that the host had stolen nearly 26.03 pints.

PVZZLES AT THE MERMAID It was related that Ben Jonson, one Jolly evening at the "Mermaid Tavern, did take a pint of wine and a pint of water, and taking a glass of the wine poured it into the water, then taking ' a glass of the mixture and pouring it back Into the wine. Now the question was. Did he take more wine from the wine bottle or water from the water bottle? lie did neither.

Also it was told that he started before 11 o'clock and finished after 11. Let ns start calculations from the hour of 10; the minute hand being ten minutes In advance of the hour hand. The minute hand from that point must advance to within a tanco of 6Ti minutes of the hour hand; for in another fifteen minrtrs' advance, the time of Tony's shave, the hour hand will move forward 1H minutes, and the minute hand will have covered the 6?a minutes between them, the l'i minutes traveled by the hour hand and 67a minutes beyond. lo gam fifty minutes lew tyk mln-- Coprrlsht Press PuDishins Company Many Experiments that surface of the ocean. Even as early as the sixteenth century, attempts had been made at underwater navigation, but it was not until 1775 that a successful voyage was made. The inventor of this first successful submarine was an American, David Bushnell. The boat was large enough for just one man. and contained enough air to support him for thirty minutes. It was guided and propelled through the water by (New York World) 1928. means of oars operated by hand, and was lowered and raised with lead ballast, and with water taken into and expelled from tanks by a hand mechanism. , d The first submarine was built by another American, Robert Fulton, in 1801.
