A most Interesting crater lake can still be seen in Java In tbe yolcaDo ot Papaodajan, and it is possible to eiiter the crater and gnzo down on tbe scene below. Standing on the rim, one can see tbe vast seething mass of boillog mud. Erery now and then a wave ot mud CQoyes bearily along the sides of tbe cbasm, only to fall Imck Into tbe molten mass, and here and there col- umns of sulphur thrown out of the lake of mud are gradually forming walls.

Then \ihenever a number Is even In the first column strike it out, together with its corresponding num- ber in tbe second column. Add tbe sec- ond column, and, lo, the answer! Now, TVhy does it do It? There seems to be no reason for It, but what is It? Can you work It out? It Is Infalllbla. It bas never been known to fail.

Perhaps there Is some twist tn the (cbeme that applies to even Dumbera. Take 2S and O. Qolng tight down tho column they become U jnd 80) then and CO; then 3 and 120; then 1 ond 240; 12 and 6 go out. taking' with them 30 nnd CO. Add 15, 120 aud 24a Answer, 375. MulOply 25 by ISao. cording to our methods. Correct-375. Now, why Is It that the even numbers must be eliminated on the right side when they do not coimt at all In the addition? It Is plain to be seen that all the numbers In tho second column will be even, but by what freak of calculation are those corresponding to the even numbers h> tbe first column of no con- sequence when the correct sum la to bo obtained? Where no even number results in the first column, as In 19 x 13, there Is no complication; 15 und IS in tho process become 7 nnd 20, then 3 ond 52 and finally 1 and 104. Adding 13, 2d, 62 nud 104 equals lOo, tbe correct sum. There can be no multlpUcatlou In tig- ores which will divide down to a place where there are no odd numbers, for the final aumbor must always of ueces* elty be 1. In the sum 10 x 4, IQ divides Itself Into S, i 2 and 1 succes- sively, while 4 becomes 8, 16, 32 and 64. All of tbe pairs are crossed out, with tho esceptiou of 1 and 04. In that coso the addition of tho second coluum will be C4. Despite the puzzling nature of this formula, there is some mntheinatlcnl principle by which It can be explained. There Is some rule awaiting tho fertile minds ot tho workei-s by wblcb this "stumpci"' can bo demonstrated to be simplicity Iteelf. Another quizzer: Why must frac- tions bs dlscanlcd? How is It that tho result will be true when several ui.lts are cast aside? Fur example, consider tlie number 47. Dividing by 2 lbs resQlt will be '28. One whole unit U thrown away.
