Chrlstlap " Henry Heiuecken, the
most wonderful of oil the world's pre
cocious prodigies, was born at Lubeck,
Gormany, in the year 1721. When but
nine and a half months of age this
human wonder could pronounce every,
word contained In the German lan
guage, and before bo had rounded out
bis first year of. earthly existence be
knew all the leading events . of the
world's history. At the age of four
teen months be could give chapter and
verse of any quoted passage of the
Scriptures and knew the history , of
very book in both the Old and New
Testaments. ' At the age of two and
a half years he could answer every
question In the geographies and histo
ries then In one and could converse
with visitors In either Oerman, French,
Dutch, Latin or Greek. His fourth
year was devoted to the study of re
ligion and ancient history. He had
finished the studies mentioned and had
started on a course In oriental religion
when he suddenly died before complet
ing hie fourth year.
Instinct In Bird,
la the stormy part of the year
steamer encountered rough weather,
and, as often happen at such timet,
many sea gulls hovered near the ship
and even came on board. 'One allowed
Itself to be caught and it was jtoqmi
that It had a Ssh bone stuck In the eye
In such a position as not absolutely
destroy the eight but penetrating an
Inch Into the Heed-of the Mrd-wad pro
Jectlng. an Inch and a halt. It might
have had a fight with a flsh or got
transfixed seeking Its prey. The doc
tor of the ship took the bird, extracted
the bone, applied a soothing remedy to
the wound and let It go. It flew away,
but returned the next day, allowing It
self to be caught The doctor exam
ined the wound, which was progressing
favorably, applied more of the remedy
and let the bird go a, second time. It
flew several times around the ship and
then departed and returned no more.
