Like many other great discoveries, the us of tea as a beverage is said to have been th result of accident. As the story goes, two lovers, a princess and a young Chinese noble, lived and loved nearly five thousand years ago', but, as in modern days, and novels, they were destined to be unhappy, for no princess might, could, would or should marry a subject. After various interchanges ot admiration and affection, their love was discovered by the chaperones, for the princess had many, and the courtship was ended. But one day the lover managed to send a tiny spray of the tea plant to the princess, and, she putting the stalk into water, kept It before her eyes for many hours. Then she could stand it no longer, and thirsting for love, she drank tho water in which the spray had been She next sampled the leaves, and, unable to resist the delicious Intoxication they produced, ate ttiem all.

The next day there was no fond lover to supply the tea, but the princess ordered her, attendants to gather some leaves and persuaded herself that she did this in memory I of her sweetheart. The ladies of the court copied the fad of their princess, and thus the Chinese became a nation of tea drinkers.

Anybody could do that very readily, hut to work that way right in the hard rock was something to me entirely novel and in the nature of a revelation.

"There Is another thing that those Indians used to do that I never saw equaled, or heard of its being equaled. They used to, when we wanted to send any of them down the river for the mall to Yuma, go right out to the river and jump In; sometimes there would be twenty or thirty of them and just jumped in and floated down. Didn't seem to bother them at all. They didn't swim seemed to stay right in the current and float, while It bobbed them along. "They made the whole trip down, a distance of twenty miles, In about three quarters of an hour.

Then they'd start with the letters and come back up and make the round trip inside of two hours, tho whole forty miles. "The Colorado river at the San Felipe mine Is about as wide as the Sacramento is at Sacramento. It is a big sweeping stream with a swift rushing current. How the Indians kept themselves up I don't lnow, but they did it. That is their way of going down to Yuma.

Of a Saturday when they would quit work every Indian we bad would jump in the river and float to Yuma. "The trip back is no easy trip, either. A good deal of it is up very rugged heights. They are not so high; though, as they are diliieult of access. The Indians are extremely useful in carrying ore.

They thought nothing of putting up on their shoulders, without any help, a two hundred pound sack of ore. They did the work of horses and mules and could pack like mules.

That does not fulfill the requirement that the pieces fit together, unless, as one correspondent suggests: "The pieces be turned around so as to form an open porch." To cover such questions as have arisen I reproduce the problem, with a ground tint thrown in, which will require the entire ground plan to be accounted for and inclosed by the outer walls. Several answers received will be passed upon as correct, unless a bettor one is received, which would bar the others out. I was probably misunderstood in regard to a straight cut being required. I meant to say that a straight cut would solve the problem, but a crooked one would ba just as acceptable, and if it gives best answer would undoubtedly be preferable. Later Since writing the above, a correct answer has been received from Mr.

How long could he make the entire chain of sixty eight links?

But the meteorologists say that this view is unsupported by fact; and we can all remember that Racine, also on the shore of the lake, was badly damaged by a cyclone not many years ago.
