WILLIE ATKINSON.--There are about 225 islands in the Feejee group, of
which 140 are inhabited. Viti Levu is the largest and most populous,
being 97 miles from east to west, and 64 from north to south. Next to
this is Vanua Levu, which is 115 miles long, and about 25 miles wide.
The whole group contains, exclusive of coral islets, an area of about
5500 square miles of dry land.

GEORGE B.--The stamps you require are somewhat rare, but you may be able
to obtain them by means of the exchanges offered by our young
correspondents.

* * * * *

LILY B., MABEL C. L., AND OTHERS.--Your puzzles are very skillfully
made, but are rendered unavailable by their solutions, which are
precisely the same as those of puzzles published in former numbers of
the YOUNG PEOPLE. Correspondents by taking special notice of the fact,
which we have already stated, that we can not repeat solutions, will
save themselves from many disappointments.

Favors are acknowledged from Penn W., D. Kopp, Charlie Heyl, Laura
Bingham, Walter Willard, Lizzie Brewster, George B. McLaughlin, Louis D.
Seaman.
