questions in the higher branches of the mathematics secondly as to the mode of solution i think it should he such as would he like ly to call into exercise the largest proportion of talent 1 do not mean the greatest abili ties but the greatest number of persons ho ponsessed any tolerable adequacy to the task therefore as it is possible that there are very few in this province who understand algebra i think solutions should in gene ral be attempted independent of its aid tbis would seem at least generally prac ticable for the great master became a great master and laid the immoveable foundations of geometry before the exist ence of the great art and all the ques tions i have as yet seen proposed in the kiugston jonrnals are capable of solid answers without refereuce to that pecu-

tygk has a flagstaff erected upon it 30 feet nigh at a point on the horizoutal plane the staff subtends an angle of ten degrees required the dis tance of that point from the bottom of the tower for the chronicle to the editor of the kingston chronicle sir i think i may say with truth that i yield to no man in a wish and zeal to promote the interests of the couutry ofmy residence and as it is knowledge that makes a principal difference between either brute or savage society and a civilized population whatever tends to increase knowledge must tend also to the increase of civiliza tion and as the rubbing of rough substances together produces smoothness so the col lision of intellect or the rubbing together of different and opposite minds produces that polish which retired and abstract study alone cannot effect besides the sparks of one mans genius thrown into the materials combustible of another mans imagination produces that effervescence before which the shackles of ignorance become like threads of tow touched with the fire then the introduction ofquestioos which briugsthe mind fully into play and some times half strains its powers not only in creases its knowledge but also strengthens its faculties in the same way as exercine and labour do the sinews of a healthy man however as the exercise of either body or mind is only labour lost unless it he di rected toward some profitable end then- fore if the present happy taste which seems to prevail for the investigation and solution ofquestioos and propositions should con tinue i think it would be well worth a word of advice as to the description and quality of the questions as well as the mode uf their solution i would be glad to have the advice f ray friend problem in this matter and as i am now about with the

inches the lower or lesser base 10 inches the upper or greater base 5912 inches its solid content would be 502364928 cubic inches which would be 72280928 cubic inches more than twenty bushels the
