Common Sense Egg Laying. OST BOW A COMMON SENSE SCHOOL BOY r " WILL SOLVE rr. It seems strange that a simple little problem like th?jtdf?sjjing should ca OJ?? so nrochcpifimotion, and puzzle the ?v hti?la^ |?^newspaper o?a and -others ||*t?w?0^make any ~ pretense toHcbolarship. Almost-anytweive year old "pupil in our schools can solve it at-a glance, and yet Bsl-: the Boston Herald devotes a column to its discussion, and has gone to the v trouble ta go to the ends of the -earth, almost, for diff?rent solutions of it. This^L? not very creditable to the ' "hub** Here is the questioa, followed by some of the solutions and remark?, sad our common sense way of handling it, just as all such questions should be treated. ita hen and a 1ialf lay an tgg . and a half in a day anda half, bow many 0.-: eggr'wilr six hens lay in seven days ? p ; Ddrjng the past three weeks this proposition .has gi vea rise to a great f-y- amount of calculations in various sec tiona of the country, and so wild has been the craze over the question among the employes in some business establish? ments that the proprietors have Implored V the newspapers to give the correct an? swered settle the controversy. The large number of persons who have sent replies to'the press for publication are divided into three prominent classes., which respectively give 42, 24 and 28 as the, answer. There is no doubt that 28 is^correct, as four college professors testify below, but two New York jour ' nais have published 24 as the result of ^ what they term the true solution. Various methods adopted io trying to solve the problem are appended : EASY TO BE MISTAKEN. The larger portion of those who have attempted to solve the question have . come/ to the eame conclusion as the correspondent quoted below, hut this solution is incorrect : Your egg problem is a simple affair. Hy solution of it /which I will wager %\ to a cent is correct) is this: Kli m?nate all the fractions and deal only with whole numbers. Fractions tend only to confuse and perplex. We need have nothing whatever to do with ihoca in this case. If ii requires -a day and a v -half?for ? hen and a half to lay zn egg and a half, of course one hen will iay one egg in one day and six bens will lay six eggs tn a day. If six hens snU lay-six eggs, io seven days they will lay seven times six eggs or forty-two eggs For the life of me I can't Fee anything difficult or complex about-this problem. It's as easy as fal?sg off a log. THE TWENTY F.?CS -CLASS. A Troy roan writes : "To simplify the matter, I will call the i hens pullets and the J- eggs pullets eggs, so the ben lays her egg in 1^ days and the | hen or pullet lays her little tr egg in the same time. If 1 hen lajs 1 egg in 1* day, ia 7 days 6 bens would lay 2% eggs and ? of an egg over-; now, as far as I know, hens are never koown to lay J of an egg, so it foHows that the six bens having laid 24 eggs at the end of'the sixth day must patiently wait 36 hours after the sixth day before lay? ing again." A Chicago mathematican is among those who conclude that 24 is the righi number. He says : "It appears tc me that those sending answers Lave no! suffciently studied thc action of a hen laying an egg. My solution is as -fol ,^ lows : one hen, takes a day and a hali to lay one egg, therefore, ut the end ol six days one hen will have laid exactly : four eggs Now, as a hen does not lav fractions Gf an egg, no more eggs will be laid until the morning of the eighth day. Consequently the number ol eggs laid in seven days is the same a? in six days, which makes the ans wet 24." LOGICAL AXD C0BBECT. A Boston mathematician : "If 13 hens lay 1? eeg? in 1J days, ? a herj will lay J of lj eggs in the same time, which i* J an egg, and a whole her. would lay twice as much, or 1 egg ic ?J days If I hen hy 1 egg in ll d?ys, to ^ a day .sie would lay J of au egg, and in on? day twice as mach or ? of an egg. Jf 1 hen lay ? of an egg in ono day-six hens would lay six times f, equal to 4 eggs, and ia 7 days 6 hens would lay 7 times 4 eggs, which is 28 eggs ; the answer to the problem. "It has been stated that- 24 is the correct answer. I have not seen the solution by which this number ts arrived at, but surmise it may be said that, whereas it takes a heu 1? days to lay au egg, each hen at the end of -6 days would have ?aid 4 eggs, and as there was but one day left it would not be sufficient for the hen to complete the laying of another egg; therefore, as each hen laid 4 eggs, and there were 6 hens, the total number of eggs laid would be 24. It must be borne in mind, however, that the original pro? position starts out with an "if and if j a ben can be said to do anything, we must follow the matter to its logical ending, which results in the proper solution of the problem, and gives as the only correct answer the number 28 ? A Jersey man says: "If one and a half hens lay one and a half eggs in one day and a half, then the other half of the second hen should lay the other %alf of the second egg in the remaining half of the 'second day. That would give two eggs in two days by two hens, or an average of half an egg a day for .each hen. Six hens at this rate should lay three eggs a day, making for the seven days 21 eggs actiy. ^ _ # THE COMMON SENS? METHOD. ? If 1 \ hens in 1? days lay -1 J.eggs, 1 hen in 1J days will lay as many eggs as 1J is contained times in \k, or 1^ if 1 hen lays 1 egg in 1J days in 1 day 1 hen will lay as many eggs as 1J is contained times in 1, or If 1 hen lay ? eggs in 1 day, o' hens wHl lay 6 times ? or 4 eggs in 1 day, and in 7 days they will hy 7 times 4, or 28 eggs. Congressman Tillman. The Washington correspondent of the News and Conner says : Representative Tillman who has heretofore been regarded as a follower of Mr; Randall so far as the tariff; bil] is concerned, declared, in an interview, that he would vote for the Mills bill. Being asked how he stood on the Mills bill, he replied : 11 shall first strive to amend the bill by abolishing all or as much as possible of the internal revenue, levying an in? come tax if necessary to supply defi? ciencies, but I shall vote for the bill, whether it be amended or not, as I am in favor of reducing taxation in any way it can be done. A sensible public man always takes the next best thing he can get when he can not obtain his first choice. However, I am one of those who believe there will not be much, if any, reduction of taxation. The Senate may agree to do away with the whole tobacco tax, but it is doubt? ful. The remedy for the surplus will be an increase of expenditures in pay? ing service pensions to the Union sol? diers, and ia purchasing bonds at 27 per cent, premium. A powerful lobby is working now to increase this premium by preventing the reduction of taxation, as well as' by promoting the constant contraction of the-currency.* 'Will the Mills bili pass the House V 'Yes, if we can come to a vote, but under the rule which allows every mern* ber to speak five minutes on every amendment to every paragraph of the bill, if its enemies choose to talk against time, the remainder of the entire session can be consumed without coming to a decisive vote. I do not think these tactics will be resorted to, however. So I think the bill will pass after being amended.' 'What about President Cleveland 7f 'If he is renominated, as now seems almost certain, of course I will do all I can to secure his election, but, never? theless I differ widely from his finan? cial policy of restricting tbe coinage of -j silver and retiring national bank bills, which has the effect to contract the cur? rency and render times harder and .harder at the southwest. I denounced that policy in the last Congress, and I kept thc convention that renominated me for the last Congress from endorsing President-Cleveland on that account. I desoance the President's financial policy still, but at the same time I agree with him about so many other Demo? cratic measures and principles that I Snd no difficulty in supporting him without having to eat any dirt in doing so ; yet ? mest say that I do not regard President Cleveland as the strongest candidate the Democrats could put up by long odds, and I shall have great fears for his success, but nothing helps a candidate so moe!) as for his friends to fear he will be beaten. -Congressman Perry ran down to his j home last week to look after bis fences j and *ee that they were ten raiis high j and staked and ridered. After attend? ing the convection in ^Columbia he re? turned to Wsshinntoo to attend to his I duties in the House -Sparten. ->?B. mmm - CONSUMPTION SURELY CURED.
