ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



^*jj Please address Chess Editor. 



F. W. CiRiFFix. — We are not quite clear as to your meaning. 

 When receiving odds of moves, a player cannot advance beyond 

 the fourth square, or the middle of the board. 



Correct solutions received from W., E. Smart, E. Louden. 



Electric Lighting for Mixes. — In some experiments carried out 

 by the officers of the Regimental School in Versailles it was shown 

 that the incandescent lamps used in the lighting of subterranean 

 passages were capable of resisting the concussion caused by the 

 explosion of 500kilog. (1,1001b.) of powder.
