NOTED ASTRONOMER DEAD.
Truman Henry Safford Pasrd Away Irl
Wllliamstown, Mass.
NEW YORK, june 14. - President
Truman Henry Siffird, :he mathema
tician and astronomer, whose death has
jut been annouif -vil b burled In
the college burying" ground at Wlll
iamstown. Mass. Since he first suffered
an attack of paralysis In 1S4. Prof.
SafTord his b-en conducting sveral el
ective coursej at Williams Co'.k ge. A
widow, four sons, a daugh:er, Mr. F.
E. Dewey, of Milwaukee. Wis., survive
him.
He was born a: Royalton, Vt S3
years agi. At an ear'y ag? he at
tracted attention by his powers of cal
culaion. He could mentally extract
the square and cube root of numbers
of nine and 10 plae of figure and
could multiply four figures by four fig
ures as rapidly as It could be done up
on paper. In 143. when he was nine
years old and nine years before he
was graduated from Harvard College,
he prepared an almanao and at the age
of 14 he calculated the elliptic elements
of the first comet of 1S49.
By a method of his own he abridged
by one-fourh the labor of calculating
the rising and setting if the moon. Af
ter long and difficult problems had been
read to him one. he could give their
results without effort. Prof. Benjamin
Pierce said of him In 1846 that this
knowledge "Is accompanied with pow
ers of abstraction and concentration
rarely possessed at any age, except by
minds of the highest order."
He spent several days at the Harvard
Observatory after Us graduation and
between 1S50 and 1S52 he computed the
orbits of maiy pla-nets and comets. In
1S65 he was appointed professor of as
tronomy In e University of Chicago
and director of the Dearborn Observa
tory, In which he discovered many new
neublae. FYom 1S69 to 1ST1 he was en
gaged upon the great catalogue of stars
then In course of preparation by the
co-operation of European and Ameri
can astronomers. Interrupted In this
work by the Chicago fire of 1S71 fi
was employed in latltule and longitude
work In the territories by the United
States Corps of Engineer for who he
also prepared a ?atalogu? of s'arS
which was published by the war de
partment. He was ailed to the chair
of astronomy at Williams College in
1ST8.
