A NEW “LIGHT BRIGADE”
Six before six before
Five times a hundred;
This must be brilliant, or
Solvers have blundered.
No. XLIX.—CLEARING THE WAY
Here is a pretty trick which requires an empty bottle, a lucifer match, and a small coin.
Break the wooden match almost in half, and place it and the coin in the position shown above. Now consider how you can cause the coin to drop into the bottle, if no one touches it, or the match, or the bottle.

Scorned by the meek and humble mind,
And often by the vain possessed,
Heard by the deaf, seen by the blind,
I give the troubled spirit rest.
