 would win, as ho tlireatens R. to K.sq., and the white Knight is 

 also en iiri.ie. 



A. J. Sl.i.vs. Thanks for cnd-ganio, which shall be analysed. — 

 11. .\. N.. R. Kelly, S. K. L. L., and others. Problem No. 5 cannot 

 be solved, as you suggest, by 1. K. to y.Kt. 7. If Black take Kt. 

 with B., there is no mate, or Black may play Kt. to U.'s 5th ch., 

 taking B next move. — J. B. M. and S. K. L. L. In our note on 



problem 6, we should have said, "by adding a Black Knight at Q.'a 

 sq., not Queen's 8th." Better consider, howei-cr, that a wcond 

 solution is required, the position remaining anchangcd. — D. See. If 

 eight first moves are given as odds, none to be acrcM the 

 board, the receiver of the odds can make the game absolutely 

 certain in a number of ways. We do not know that there 

 is any way by which mate in a given small number of 

 moves may be announced before Black plays a move. There 

 may be, however. — H.A.L.S. Thanks. Your solutions of Xos. 7 

 and 8 correct, of course. The question was not as to the justice 

 of rejecting Xo. 7, but of ignoring its author's statement, that, 

 so far as he w^ concerned, it was original. As a part of the idea 

 had been anticipated, there was a valid — though, wo think, in- 

 sufficient — reason for declining to insert. You admit that the 

 editor's is superior in finish, Ac, to D'Orville's. The idea is one 

 which would be apt to suggest itself to a problem composer ; but 

 in D'Orville's problem the solution can hardly be escaped ; in 

 the editor's there are several promising lines of attack. — Jas. D. 

 Meek. Yon are right. White could not draw ; though, of course, 

 he would not throw away his Rook by checking, as when yueen was 

 made. 



Curious Fbeak of a Dog. — Dr. Onderdonk sends the following 

 story of a freak of a dog to the Scientific American : — " Simmons " 

 (that is the dog's name) is verj- remarkable for her sagacity, and 

 often excites remark by the "reasonableness" of her actions. She is 

 a constant companion of the boys, and seems to consider herself one 

 of them. She has been a mother three times ; the third time some 

 ten days or so ago. At her two former accouchements she did her- 

 self credit by the respectable .size of the family she brought to 

 light ; but this last time she gave birth to but one pup. TVo 1 

 three days before the birth of this pup there was a litter of kittens 

 bom on the place. Simmons, disgusted at the smallness of her 

 family, and evidently thinking that the cat had more than her 

 share, captured one of the kittens in the absence of the old cat, and 

 carried it in her mouth to where she kept her pup, and deposite<l it 

 in her basket. In a short time she was suckling both the pup 

 and kitten, who were hard at work side by side. 'The next day the 

 kitten was taken away in the absence of Simmons, but on her 

 return she hunted up her adopted child, and brought it back to her 

 basket, where it has remained until now. Simmons has now been 

 nursing the kitten for more than a week, the kitten seeming to be 

 perfectly satisfied with her foster-mother.
