fons, each having not more than 10
zuffers, there must be at least 999,
990 with equal quantities of zuffers
(for there cannot be more than 10
zaffons with different numbers of
zuffers in them).
B. If each zaffon had only 1 zuf
fer (the minimum number possible)
there would be over 1,000.000 zuffers
in a drop of zoop. But as there
cannot be more than 10 zuffers with
different numbers of zeakles in
them, there must be at least 999.990
with equal quantities of zeakles.
C. If only 10 zaffons can have dif
ferent quantities of zuffers and only
10 zuffers can have different quan
tities of zeakles, then only 100 zaf
fons (at most) can differ in both
combined. Hence at least 999.900
zaffons have the same number of
zuffers, each of which hase the same
number of zeakles.
D and E must be called false,
since it cannot be proved positively
true that any zaffon contains any
given number of zuffers or zeakles.
(It might be impossible, for exam
ple. to have an odd number of one
of these in another . . . whatever
they may be.)

UNCLE RAY'S CORNER —Portuguese Traded With Natives
The north star could not be seen
by Vasco da Gama and his men
when they landed at the Bay of St.
Helena. They were far south of the
equator, and could see the Southern
Cross but not the Bjg Dipper.
If it had not been for the compass,
Vasco da Gama would hardly have
dared the open ocean. As it was.
he had the help of this invention,
which sailors of Europe had been
using for some time.
Wood and water were taken
aboard, and then came the order,
"Set sail to go around the cape!”
Going around the cape was no
pimple matter. Heavy winds blew
them back again and again, but they
kept up the struggle and at last met
success.
Now they sailed northward along
the Eastern coast of Africa. They
were going (through waters where
men from Europe never had been
before.
Now and then. Da Gama ordered
stops to obtain food, as well as wood
and water. The dark-skinned na
tives traded with them at certain
<i places, but elsewhere ran away from
them, or hid in ambush and shot
arrows at the white-skinned
strangers.
At one spot the Portuguese were

natives who came aboard.
treated so well that they named It
‘‘the Land of Good People.” The
natives crowded around them as they
came ashore in small boats.
Martin Affonso, a sailor, was in
charge of the landing party. He
gave the chief of the natives a cap,
a jacket and a pair of red pant*
loons. The chief lost little time in
putting on the clothing, and
marched proudly through his village.
The chief invited Alfonso to stay
overnight in the village. His white
skin seemed even more of a wonder
to the Negroes than the red panta
loons of their chief.
For three months the ships were
piloted toward the north, with
further stops along the way. At
one place the Negro natives were
told they could come aboard the
flagship, and there they were given
presents by Vasco da Gama.
At length the fleet reached Ma
lindi, about half-way up the East
ern coast of Africa. The next prob
lem was to cut across the Indian
Ocean, from Malindi. That seemed
a hard problem, but at this point
came a piece of good fortune.
