For, if the alternate angles A G H and GHD be not equal, one of them must be greater than the other. Let the angle A G H be greater than the angle GHD. To each of these unequals add the angle BG H. Then the two angles A G H and B G H are greater (42. 4) than the two angles BGH and GH D. But the two angles AGH and BGH, are equal (I. 13) to two right angles.

them, make the two interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, will meet together (dr. 12) if continually produced. Therefore the two straight lines A B and C D, if produced far enough, will meet. But they never meet, since Hyp.) they are parallel. Therefore the angle A G II is not unequal to the angle & HD; that is, the angle a GI is equal to the angle G H D.

Then

Again, the angle A & H is equal (I. 15) to the angle E G B. Therefore the angle E G B is equal (Ar. 1) to the angle G H D. Lastly, to each of these equals add the angle BG H. the two angles E G B and B G II are equal (Ax. 2) to the two angles B G 1 and G I D. But the two angles E G B and B G H are equal (I. 13) to two right angles. Therefore, also, the two angles BGH and G H D are equal (4x. 1) to two right angles. Wherefore, if a straight line, etc. Q.

Corollary 1. If two angles have their legs parallel, each to cach, and proceeding from their vertices in the same directions, they are equal to each other.

legs A B and B c parallel to D E and E F, each to each, and preceeding from their vertices в and E in the same directions, the angle ABC is equal to the angle DEF. Produce A B till it meet E F in G. Then, because B C and E F are (Hyp.) parallel, and AG falls upon them, the exterior angle A B C is equal to the interior angle B G F (I. 29); and because A G and D E are (Hyp.) parallel, and E G falls upon them, the interior angle DEF is equal to the exterior angle BGF; therefore (Az. 1) the angle ABC is equal to the angle D E F.

Corollary 2. If two angles be equal to each other, and a leg of the one be parallel to a leg of the other, their remaining legs are parallel.

In fig. c, let the angle ABC be equal to the angle D E F, and let the leg A B of the one be parallel to the leg DE of the other; the leg B C of the one is parallel to the leg E F of the other. Produce A B till it meet E F in G. Then, because A G

PROPOSITION XXX-THEOREM.

In B C take any point E, and at this point make (I. 23) the angle F E C equal to the given angle D. Then, if the straight

Straight lines which are parallel to the same straight line are line EF passes through the point A, the thing required is done; parallel to each other.

if not, through the point A (I. 31) draw the straight line A G parallel to the straight line FE. Then the angle AG C is equal

In fig. 30, let the straight lines A B and C D be each of them to the angle D. parallel to E F. Then A B is also parallel to C D.

Draw the straight line G H K cutting the three straight lines A B, E F, and C D.

Because the straight line GHK cuts the parallel straight lines A B and EF, the angle AGH is equal E (I. 29) to the alternate angle G H F. Again, because the straight line G II K cuts the parallel straight lines EF and c D, the exterior angle & HF is equal (I. 29) to the interior angle

11 K D. But it was proved that the angle A G H is equal to the angle G H F; therefore the angle A G H is equal (Ax. 1) to the angle G K D; and these are alternate angles; therefore A B is parallel (I. 27) to c D. Wherefore, straight lines which are, etc. Q. E. D.

Scholium. The student should prove the case of this proposition, when the straight line E F is not between the straight lines A B and C D, but on either side of both.

This may be done by supposing A B and E F, fig. 30, to be two straight lines, each parallel to c D; then A B is parallel to EF. The same construction being made, because A B is parallel to C D, and G K falls upon them, the exterior angle CKL (I. 29) is equal to the interior angle A G H on the same side of G K; and because E F is parallel to c D, and G K falls upon them, the exterior angle cK L (I. 29) is equal to the interior angle EHK on the same side of GK; therefore, by Axiom I. the exterior angle EH K is equal to the interior angle A G H on the same side of GK; wherefore, by Prop. XXVIII., the two straight lines A B and E F are parallel. Q. E. D.

PROPOSITION XXXI.-PROBLEM.

To draw through a given point a straight line parallel to a given straight line.

Let A, fig. 31, be the given point, and B c the given straight line. It is required to draw, through the point A, a straight line parallel to the straight line в C.

In the straight line в o take any point D, and join A D. At the point A in the straight line A D, make (I. 23) the angle DAE equal to the angle AD C. Produce the straight line EA to F. Then EF is parallel to в C.

Because the straight lines A G and FE are parallel, and the straight line B c falls upon them, the exterior angle & G C is equal to the interior angle F E c; but (Const.) the angle D is equal to the angle FE C; therefore (Ar. 1) the angle AG c is equal to the angle D, and it is drawn through the point a.

EXERCISE II. TO PROPOSITION XXXI.

Of all triangles having the same vertical angle, and having their bases passing through the same point, the least is that whose base is bisected in that point.

Because the straight line A D meets the two straight lines E F and B C, and makes the alternate angles EA D and AD C equal to one another; therefore EF is parallel (I. 27) to B C. Wherefore, through the given point A, a straight line E AP has been drawn parallel to the given straight line B C. Q. E. F.

Scholium 1. The application of the 23rd Proposition of this book is necessary, if the 11th and 12th Propositions be employed. In the construction and demonstration, either of the cases of the 28th Proposition may be used instead of the 27th Proposition.

EXERCISE I. TO PROPOSITION XXXI.;

Through a given point, to draw a straight line, making an angle with a given straight line, equal to a given rectilineal angle. Scholium 2. This exercise is brought from Prop. XXIX., in our earlier editions of Euclid, where it was misplaced.

In fig. d, let A be the given point, BC the given straight line, and D the given rectilineal angle. It is required to draw through the point A, a straight line that shall make with в c an angle equal to the given angle D.

This exercise was solved by T. Bocock (Great Warley) and others.

BC of the triangle ABC be bisected in the point ; and let AG D whose base G D passes through the point E. The triangle ABC be any other triangle having the same vertical angle B A C, and is less than the triangle AG D. Through the point c, draw the straight line C F parallel to A B (I. 31).

Because, in the two triangles G B E and C F E, the angle BGE is equal to the angle c FE (I. 29), and the angle GEB to the angle FEC (I. 15); and the side B E to the side E c (Hyp.); therefore the triangle ECF is equal to the triangle E G B (I. 26); but the triangle ECF is less than the triangle E CD (Ax, 9); therefore the triangle o BE is also less than the triangle ECD. To these unequals add the trapezium A G E C, and the whole, the triangle ABC, is less than the whole, the triangle a G D. Q. E. D.*

UN BIENFAIT N'EST JAMAIS PERDU.
SECTION IV.

La nuit était devenue si épaisse, qu'ils furent contraints de s'arrêter. Dès que le jour parut, ils renouvelèrent leurs recherches, hélas! avec aussi peu de succès que la veille, quand tout à coup le son d'un cor se fit entendre.3

-D'où vient ce signal ? s'écria aussitôt M. Dérambert en prêtant une oreille attentive.

Une seconde fois le son du cor retentit.5

--Ce bruit vient de l'habitation; courons tous; mes amis." A ces mots la troupe se dirige en toute hâte vers la maison. A peine y furent-ils arrivés, qu'ils aperçurent le marchand ambulant dont il est parlé au commencement de cette histoire. A cette vue l'espoir qui s'était élevé dans le cœur du pauvre père fits place à un amer désappointement." -Hélas! lui dit-il je croyais que c'était mon petit Alfred 10 qui nous était rendu.

-Pardonnez-moi, Monsieur, si j'ai interrompu vos recherches," répondit le marchand; mais si je l'ai fait, c'est que je pensais peut-être pouvoir vous être utile dans cette douloureuse eirconstance. Veuillezi je vous prie, me laisser faire j'ai l'espoir que nous saurons bientôt ce qu'est devenu' votre enfant.

Auguste et Fanny étaient là; le marchand frappe dans ses mains,13 et aussitôt on etendit l'aboiement joyeux d'un beau chien de Terre-Neuve qui bondit à ce signal. C'était Moustache, qui s'en alla tout d'abord caresser 15 les deux enfants qu'il reconnut, en tournant autour d'eux et ayant l'air de se rappeler qu'il y en avait un

troisième.

-Voilà qui va bien, dit le marchand; Moustache reconnait les enfants; à son air inquiet, je vois qu'il s'étonne de ne point voir celui qui est absent. 16 Veuillez me donner les derniers vêtements que le petit Alfred a portés."7

Quand ces objets furent là, il les montra à son chien,18 les lui fit flairer; puis, prenant la maison pour centre d'un rayon, il décrivit autour d'elle un cercle d'un quart de mille, en ordonnant à Moustache de quêter partout où il le menait. Le cercle n'était pas entièrement parcouru lorsque le chien se mit à aboyer.20

Le son de sa voix rendit une lueur d'espérance au père et à la mère, qui étaient inconsolables. Le chien, en suivant le émanations du corps de l'enfant, aboya de nouveau; chacun s'empressa de le suivre, mais on le perdit bientôt dans les bois.22 Ce fut un moment de terrible anxiété, car pendant une demi-heure environ, l'on n'entendit plus rien.

Le front du marchand était soucieux ; renfermé dans un

silence que personne ne songeait à interrompre, il s'était mis le visage contre terre et recueillait les moindres bruits que la brise apportait. Tout à coup on le vit tressaillir.

-Le chien revient, s'écria-t-il; dans un instant il sera
près de nous et nous saurons le résultat de sa course.
Quand le chien reparut, sa contenance était visiblement
changée, un air de gaieté et de satisfaction semblait l'ani-
mer; ses yeux brillaient, ses oreilles étaient droites; il fré-
missait, tous ses gestes indiguaient que ses recherches
n'avaient pas été infructueuses.

-Je suis sûr qu'il a retrouvé l'enfant, fit' son maître.
-Mais vit-il encore ? s'écria la mère.

Le marchand remua la tête et s'élança sur les traces de son chien, qui avait repris sa course à travers de la forêt, en s'arrêtant de temps à autre pour donner à son maître le temps de le rejoindre. Enfin l'animal s'arrêta au pied d'un gros arbre,10 et poussa un long aboiement. Le marchand redoubla de vitesse, et bientôt il fut à côté de lui. Il aperçut alors l'enfant couché sur un tas de feuillage et ne donnant aucun signe de vie. Il le prit dans ses bras et reconnut' qu'il n'était pas mort,12 mais seulement dans un état de faiblesse tel que, quelques instants plus tard, il aurait sans aucun doute expiré. Le marchand le souleva avec précaution 13 dans ses bras et l'apporta à ses parents.

Ils étaient heureusement en quelque sorte préparés à cet événement, et s'étaient munis de tout ce qui était nécessaire pour le restaurer. Bientôt il ouvrit les yeux et tous les chagrins de cette cruelle journée furent oubliés. 15 M. et Mme Dérambert, Auguste et Fanny étaient fous de joie; 16 c'est à peine si dans les premiers moment ils songèrent à remercier celui qui leur avait rendu leur enfant ; mais après avoir baigné de larmes le visage du petit malheureux, après l'avoir pressé mille fois contre leur coeur, ils se jetèrent au cou du marchand en le comblant de bénédictions.

17

Mais, Moustache! de quelles caresses ne fut-il pas l'objet ! c'était à qui le choierait,13 le flatterait, l'embrasserait. L'intelligent animal paraissait prendre part au bonheur général; il courait d'Auguste à Fanny, de Fanny à Alfred dont il léchait les petites mains avec un air de contentement inexprimable. On aurait dit qu'il se rappelait le service 20 qu'auparavant, les trois enfants lui avaient rendu, et qu'aureconnaissance, en sauvant l'un d'eux. jourd'hui il se trouvait heureux d'avoir pu leur témoigner sa

THE FRANCHISE.

SIR,-As the second reading of the new Reform Bill is postponed until the 27th of April, I think that the readers of the P. E. should make an endeavour to get a clause inserted in the bill for the purpose of making learning, intelligence, and education, qualifications for voting, as well as money. The great objection to universal suffrage is, that the unlearned and ignorant possess not the understanding to judge who is a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. But, I ask, why should the wise and the intelligent be disqualified for want of money, while they have an enlightened mind and understanding to know who is a fit representative, and possess sufficient judgment to discern who is the best legislator?
