ABOUT PROBLEM No. 3 
RATHER POWERFUL, 
In regard to Problem No. 3, the nnswer to 
which was published in tho Rural New-Yorker 
of Fob. 11, I would like to ask one question. 
My own method of solution Is the following:

equilateral, each angle is equal to 60°, each 
Our Portable Engine, 
A certain professor was noted for having a 
certain set of illustrations, from which lie could 
not well deviate without running the risk of n 
blunder, hi illustrating the powerful effects of 
prussic acid, he was wont to inform tlie class 
tluiL one drop placed 00 u dog’s tongue was suf¬ 
ficient to kill him. Oil one occasion, when lectur¬ 
ing t.o ids class, he said: 
“ Mr. Smith," addressing a young man whoso 
chance of passing was very slender, " what can 
you say of prussic acid ? Is it powerful or 
otherwise? " 
"It is rather powerful," said the student, du¬ 
biously, 
•• Rather powerful 1" said the professor, indig¬ 
nantly. "Put u drop on youj; tongue, and it 
will kill a dog." 
The shout, of laughter vyliltb followed, and 
Smith's confusion, revealed to ihe professor that 
his Illustration had served a double purpose.

A THIRD PARTY. 
Du. Emmons, ike able New England divine, 
met u pantheistical physician at the house of a 
sick parishioner. It was no plaoo for a dispute. 
It was no place for any unbecoming familiarity 
with the minister, it was no place to inquire 
into the age of the minister, especially with any 
intent of entangling him in a debate; and above 
all, Where the querist was too illogical for any 
logical discussion. But the abrubt question ol 
the pantheist was: 
“ Mr. Emmons, liow old are you?” 
“Sixty, sir ? and how old are you ?” 
“As old as creation," was the triumphant re¬ 
sponse. 
“Then you are of the same nge with Adam 
and Eve ?" 
" Certainly, I was in the garden when they 
wore." 
"I have always heard that there was a third 
party in the garden with them, but I never 
knew before that it was you."
