: Data's Marvelous Mental Work.
When scarcely three years old Gauss,
according to an anecdote told by ht;u-
elf, followed uieutally a calculation
of his father's relative lu regard to the
wages of some workmen who were
to be paid for overtime in proportion to
their regular wages, and, detecting a
mistake in the account, be called out,
"Father, the reckoning is wrong; it
makes so much,' naming the exact
mount. 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. Gauss was not only one of the great
est mental calculators on record, but
he excelled equally In ail branches of

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.

What is most surprising about this
greatest calculator ou record is that he
was stupid lu mathematics. 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. Scientific American.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
Iain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. 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
