No. XLVI.—A CRYPTIC INSCRIPTION
The following cryptic inscription was engraved, in his own language, upon a tablet in honour of the great French astronomer and scientist, Arago:—
URE
AR ERIL
It has this interpretation:—
| AR | à gauche, |
| ERIL | à droit, |
| URE | sur tout. |
Arago chérit la droiture sur tout.
Arago cherished integrity above all.
78. ON THE LOOSE
When ....., our puppy, sets out for a run,
Over ..... he ....., all frolic and fun.
For no whistle he ..... in his desperate hurry
The cattle to ....., and the slow sheep to worry.
Each word has the same five letters.
