Here is a curious form of Magic Square. The year 1892 is taken as its basis.

174	186	198	210	211	223	114	126	138	150	162
209	221	222	113	125	137	149	161	173	185	197

Within this square 1892 can be counted up in all the usual ways, and altogether in 44 variations. Thus any two rows that run parallel to a diagonal, and have between them eleven cells, add up to this number, if they are on opposite sides of the diagonal.

The sun, the sun is my delight!
I shun a gloomy day,
Though I am often seen at night
To dart across the way.
Sometimes you see me climb a wall
As nimble as a cat,
Then down into a pit I fall
Like any frightened rat.
Catch me who can—woman or man—
None have succeeded who after me ran.

This Magic Square of 49 cells is constructed with a diagonal arrangement of the numbers from 1 to 49 in their proper order. Those that fall outside the central square are written into it in the seventh cell inwards from where they stand. It is interesting to find out the many combinations in which the number 175 is made up.
