GEOGRAPHICAL PUZZLE.

(Composed by Mary V. and Willie K., each aged thirteen.)

An island west of British Columbia (1) went to the lightest city (2) in
the world to attend a ball. She there met a peak in Oregon (3) named as
follows: A city in Egypt (4), a city in Maine (5), and a city in
Australia (6), in whom she was much interested.

Her dress was a valley among the Himalaya Mountains (7), and though
elegantly trimmed with a city in Belgium (8), it was, unfortunately,
two cities in France (9). As she felt a country in South America (10),
she wore around her shoulders a city in Scotland (11) shawl. Her
jewelry was exclusively a peak in Oregon (12). Her shoes were of a
country in Africa (13), and her handkerchief was perfumed with a city
in Prussia (14).

Being a lake north of the United States (15) dancer, she had
distinguished partners, whose names were the capital of the United
States (16), the capital of Ohio (17), the capital of Wisconsin (18),
the capital of Alabama (19), the capital of Mississippi (20), and the
capital of North Carolina (21).

Having boldly said that she was a country in Europe (22), she was
escorted by a city in Indiana (23) to a bay in South-west Africa (24),
where she freely partook of a river in Oregon (25), some islands in
the Pacific Ocean (26), a river in South Africa (27), a district in
France (28), and some islands in the Atlantic (29). After passing a
river of Maine evening (30), she bade a cape in Iceland (31) to her
hostess, and was escorted home by an island in Nova Scotia (32).

NUMERICAL ENIGMA.

My 1 2 3 4 is undoubtedly possessed by every one of the whole race
of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (my whole), while my 5 6 7 8 ends a prayer.

ILLUSTRATED PUZZLE.

[Illustration]

Twelve things may be found in the picture above,
Not clearly perceived by the eye,
But with keen observation and witty conceit,
You will find them, I know, if you try.

First point out (1) an animal (other than bear),
(2) A spectator, (3) a portion of corn,
(4) One part of a sentence, and (5) parts of a bird,
And (6) what may your fair head adorn.

Now (7) part of a river, and (8) parts of a book,
And now, if you please, take the trouble
To pick out (9, 10) two letters, which, rightly combined,
In classical language mean "double."

The remaining two
