The Magic Square.
W r e have received several explanations of the
Magic Square. Those sent by J. G. A., Jr., and
Jesse L. P. are incorrect. One or two others are
in hand which we have not yet had time to exam
ine. Before you send us an explanation of the
Square, hand it to someone who never saw a Ma
gic Square, and see if they can construct one ac
cording to the directions you furnish. If he can
not, you may take it for granted that your explan
ation is good for nothing.
