 of 20° 49'. On the 30th he rises at 4h. 5m. p.m., with a 

 northern declination of 20° 43', and an apparent diameter 

 of 2-7". During the month he pursues a short retrograde 

 path in Taurus, in a region barren of conspicuous stars. 



November is a very favourable month for shooting stars. 

 The most marked displays are the Leonids, on November 

 13th and 14th, the radiant point being in R.A. lOh. Om., 

 and northern declination 23°. The radiant point rises at 

 about lOh. 15m. p.m. The Andromedes occur on the 27th,

CIJcss Column. 



By C. D. LooooK, B.A.Oxon. 



All ooMMUNioATioNs for this column should be addressed 

 to the " Chess Editor, Knowledye Office," and posted before 

 the 12th of each month. 



Solution of (htii/ifi- Problem (G. K. Ansell) : — 

 1. B to K2, and mates next move. 



Correct Solutions received fi'om Alpha, W. A. Champion, 

 F. 0. Lane, J. E. Gore, W. A. .J. Pennett, H. S. Brandreth, 

 W. Willby, A. E. Whitehouse, J. M'Robert, E. F. Arden, 

 P. Henri, F. Glanville, and R. B. Cooke. 



Hiwiili.'i. — Pseudonym for Tourney duly recorded. 



Alpha. — We shall regret the temporary loss of our most 

 constant solver. 



W. A. Cluimpion. — Perfectly correct this time. 



P. Edicanls. — Mortimer's Porket (iuiite is the best small 



book on the openings (price Is.). If you require a larger 

 book, we should advise either Gossip's Tlwori/ of the Chess 

 Ojienirh/s, or I'reeborough and Ranken's (fhesx Opminiix. 

 We believe that the new edition of the latter work contains 

 a treatise on " Odds." 



Crossc/ar. — The two-mover " Ballymore," has no ap- 

 parent solution. On the other hand, " Wood Green " has 

 at least thirr, if that is any compensation. The enclosure 

 mentioned was omitted, but the problems shall be kept in 

 case you want them again. 



Posuit ultimum lapidem. — Tu quoque turriculo lapidem 

 extremum posuisti. 



" Kno^vledge " Problem Tourney. 



The following problems have been entered for this 

 tourney : — " Sweetness and Purity, &o.," " Stella," 

 "Bonne bouche," " Fortes fortunajuvat," "Cave coquum," 

 " Pro virtute," " Lieblich sind liberstandene Muhen," 

 " Invicta," " Morceau, " " Nulli secundus," " I can't help 

 your troubles," " Slender," " East Harling," " A Norse- 

 man's a Chess-piece," " Enrichetta," " La Retraite, ' 

 " The Circle," " Posuit ultimum lapidem." 



Three other positions have been reluctantly excluded 

 in accordance with Rule 5, and have been returned to 

 their respective composers. The order of publication — a 

 not unimportant matter where solvers take part in the 

 judging — will be decided by ballot. Three problems, as a 

 rule, will be published in each number.
