A new puzzle has sprung into prom inence. The puzzle consists in a series of 15 little squares of wood all number ed from 1 up to 15. The puzzle con sists in getting the 15 numbers stamp ed on the squares, to come out in regu lar rotation, from 1 to 15. The box is made so as to admit of 4 squares in a line, the last line having three numbers and one blank space in it which is to be used to move in. The numbered squares should be placed in the box at randon and then they are to be maneuvered around without removing from the box until they stand as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, on the first line; 5, C, 7, 8, on second line; 9, 10, 11, 12, on the third line; and 13, 14, 15, on the last line.
