The calculations were repeat ed, and It turned out that the child was correct, while all ho witnessed the performance were greatly surpris ed, lie retained an extraordinary ability for mental calculations through ont life and remembered the first few decimals of the logarithms of all num bers, so that be was able to use the data of a logarithmic table In his men tal calculations, and hence be possess ed a mental slide rule a unique pos session.

Astoria, Ore 111 DENTISTS While Gauss was both a great men tal calculator and a .great mathemati cian and was a real mathematical prod igy, we proceed to consider several who were merely arithmetical prodi gies and seemed to have very little reneral mathematical ability. The greatest of these Is Dase, who was born at Hamburg in 1824 and "seems to have been little more than a human calculating machine, able to carry ou enormous calculations in his head, but nearly Incapable of understanding the principles of mathematics and of very limited ability outside his chosen field." His extraordinary ability In mental calculation is evidenced by the fact that he was able to multiply men tally two numbers, each of which con tained 100 figures. It took him eight and three-quarters hours to perform this feat, which stands In a class by Itself, as no other arithmetical prodigy is known to have been able to multiply mentally two numbers each consisting of inoreMhan thirty-nlqe figures. Two forty-figure numbers Dase was able to multiply In forty minutes, while he would multiply two eight-figure num bers in less than one minute.

Tetersen is said to have tried lu vain for six weeks to get the first elements of mathematics into his head, and other eminent mathematicians found that he had very little mathematical ability. Fortunately he was advised by some of the leading mathematicians of his day to turu his extraordinary ability to scientific uses Instead of going around the country giving public exhi bitions, a career upon which he had entered at the age of fifteen. He cal culated many useful tables and was engaged on an extensive factor table at Ae time of his death. The ease and speed with which he could count the numbers of books In a case, the num ber of sheep in a herd, etc., were al most more surprising that his extraor dinary, ability as a mental calculator. Another well known mental calcula tor, having even less mathematical ability than Dase, is Buxton, who re mained illiterate through life, although his father had some education. He had a wonderful memory for numbers and could call off long numbers from right to left or from left to right with eo.ua! facility. On one occasion he squared mentally a thirty-nine figure number in two tnd a half months. He was ex- tremely slow and In this respect re sembled a negro of the name of Tom Fuller, who is known as the Vir ginia calculator. Although entirely il literate, he was able to reduce mentally years and months to seconds and could multiply two nine-figure numbers. Darboux has called attention to an infant prodigy. Joseph Itertrand was torn in Paris in 1822 and was such a delicate child that his parents did not expect him to arrive at manhood, and hence his early education was partly neglected. At the age of four he was lick for a long time and overheard the lessons which were given his brother in the ?ame room. He knew the let ters of the alphabet, but nothing more. When he was convalescent his parents brought him a book to look at the pic tures, and he relates in his account of his childhood that he remembers dis tinctly how he shocked his parents by .eading the text fluently. His frlgbt sned father snatched the book from aim and commanded that under no pre fext should he be allowed to do any work. The manner in which he learbed ele mentary algebra and elementary geom etry, Is still more extraordinary. We reproduce his own account: "At the age of nine I had the great the dewmstratiija." At the -. of Flstrt-n lie L'Ecole Pol,vter:i:ii(ir. and r,s fie n aminer knew that he h:id already p . ed the examination for t!n !o -ti i" gree In science Im gave him some v.;. difficult iHiestltju. From one of !.; answers It appeared that Bertram! li;s never opened a table of logarithm The examiner considered tills answer an Impertinence, but gave him th highest grade. At L'Ecole Polytech nique Bertram! says that he was n problem for his companions. He al ways received the highest grades, but he wjs Ignorant of some the simplest things. I-or instance, he did not know what words were called adverbs, as he had never prepared a lesson In litera ture or in science. bertrand's extraordinary youth gave rise to many marvelous stories. Fortu nately he wrote a brief account of his early life when he was elected In 1S8-! to the French academy; hence we have a more reliable sketch of this Infant prodigy than is possible to obtain In most other cases for instance, In the case of his countryman, Pascal. The facts that Bertrand was permanent sec retary of the Academy of Sciences for more than a quarter of a century, that be is the author of many theorems re- mung to modern inaifiematlcal sub jects and that he lived so recently add Interest to the account of his marvelous early education.

In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become perma nent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather, a permanent cure cannot be expected; the relief from pain which this liniment affords is alone worth many time its cost. 25 and SO cent sizes for sale by Frank Hart and Leading Druggists. ; .
