Then Solve This Problem and Win a

The largest single prize offered for
a scientific discovery Is still going
bogging. ; Tbe prize bus been open to
competition for umuy years. At first
sight the problem for a solution of
whicb tbe prize Is offered looks uo
more dltHoult than those with which
bigb school students are familiar, but
many of tbe greatest mathematicians
In the world bave tried to solve tbe
problem and given It up In despair.
It is known as Fermat's problem.
Nearly 800 years ao Ferwat, one
of the greatest mathematicians who
ever Jived, stated that tbe equation
myz rould not be satisfied by
whole numbers wben n is an odd prime
number different from unity. The prob
lem may be stated in another way viz,
that xy"s cannot be sutisfled
wben n is any Integer greater than '
Tbe one follows as a logical conclusion
from the other. ,
Tbe Academy of Sciences of Goettln-
gen, Germany, offers a prize of 100.000
marks (about $'J5.U0Ui for proof of this
assertion This Ib the prize that Is
going begging.
Dr. Joseph Bowden, professor of
mathematics. Adelplil college, Brook
lyn, asked by the Sclentifle American
to state tbe precise conditions for win
ning tbe prize, writes that tbe Acad
emy of Sciences will not consider any
manuscripts sent in, but only proposed
solutions printed and offered for sale
as uiuuographs, in books on mathe
matics or In mathematical periodicals.
The award will not be made until two
years after tbe publication of the mem
oir in order that mathematicians may
bave ample opportunity to test and
criticise the solution.
The object of these restrictions is to
save tbe academy from being Hooded
with nndlcested manuscrips. if will
only consider solutions that have stood
the test of some competent editor or
publisher in tbe first place.

that of Spain. Italy is well represent

great deal of German, in tbe south of
Brazil 90 per cent of the people sneak

enforced as tbe language even of tbe

The large German colonies here do
not affiliate with these people as they
do with tbe Anglo-Saxon brothers of
