SOLVING "SKID00" PROBLEM
Money talks and everybody talks
money and. Judging from the letter
addressed to the editor of the Skldoo
problem in The Journal, everybody
writes money, too.
It does Seem as if the people had
been waiting to get a chance at the
. Skldoo problem; It waa seised avidly,
tackled enthusiastically, and It haa been
answered vigorously.
One man, who sent in a solution to
' , the problem, urged the Pussle Editor to
- forward the 110 prise et once. This was
refused on it grounds. 1,' that the an
swer wee Incorrect; t, that the man
wanted to go to Seattle, and S, that
there are 21 reasons why no one should
go to Seattle, the chief one . being, of
annrse, that there are no trains runnln
to tbe place.
It Is plain that everybody considers
the Skldoo pussle Just as easy as fall-
Ingttth skating rink; It has no ter-
' rors, and few difficulties to anyone.
And, really. It sounds easy. Here it Is;
Here's Skldoo for Bvsryaody. '
A coin eollector had In accumula
tion of pennies. He told hie eon he
would make him a present of the
entire lot If he would put them In
boxes, the same number In each box. ,
There was an odd number of pennies
so that if he put -an equal number in
- each of two boxes there would be one
penny left over; In a like manner he
figured on I, 4, B, . 7, 8, t, 10, 11. It,
13, 14, IS, 1. 17, , 19. 10, M end XI
' boxes, but in every case if he put an
- equal number In each box there would
be one (only one) penny left over. The
eon gave It up and told hla father he
thought It impossible to perform the
feat Hla father replledr"8KnXKJS
for you." The son then put the entire
lot of pennies In S3 boxes the same
number In each box. How many pennies
'were there T '
. To make the problem plain: The eft
tire number of pennies was a number,
which If divided by any number from
to 23 Inclusive there will be a re
mainder of one (only one) and If di
vided by 23 there will be.no remainder.
Don't think because you start a bit
late in trying to solve it that your
.chance of winning the prise Is not as
good : as that of anybody else. Tbe
prise are given for the correct and
TiEST solution; as there can be but one
correct solution, "the beat" gives every
one a aha nee. The first prise Is 1,000
bright new pennies; the writers of 23
good solutions will get beautiful "23"
scarf, pins, which are the rage Juat
how, and there are 23 other prises ot 32
new pennies each.

far in advance of our most enlightened
civilisation. It Is a short story of got
over a dosen pages, but i exceedingly
clever snd unique. The other hundred
and fifty pages of ths book' contain
several short stories and a large num
ber of poems. Mr. Stamey has done
some very good dialect. work In this
volume, but his poems, which are sung
in-minor chords, sre his best, for they
show depth of feeling and a keen sym
pathy and appreciation of ths homelier
virtues and the sweetness and pathos
of the home life which is made radiant
by love.
The short etorles have far more than
ordinary merit, and should be separated

India's .Floe Bridge
The Indus In India Is crossed in some
of Its remote reachea by rope bridges.
The natives' ingenuity in making these
bridges with no material but twisted
twigs, yet strong enough to hold the
weight of' any number of coolies With
their loads, and long enough to be
swung from cliff to cliff across the greet
river. Is a source of wonder. Such
bridges are composed of three strands
of twigs, one for each hand to grasp,
m to guide .the feet. They sag grace
fully from the tope of the " mtghtr
cliffs that flank the river, occasionally
swaying slightly in the wind, but are
as firm and safe aa a bridge of iron er.
