HOBBES AND GEOMETRY.
How He Happened to Fall In Love with
It Went to Oxford.
Hobbes got his Latin and Greek at
Malmesbury. from a young scholar
named Richard Latymer, newly come
from the university (doubtless meaning
Oxford), and, as was then common, he
acquired by exclusive attention to those
languages a facility in them which now
seems not only precocious but almost
monstrous, says the National Review.
"It is not to be forgotten," says Aubrey,
"that before he went to the university
he had turned Euripidis Medea out of
Cireek into Latin iambiques, which he
presented to his master." We need not
regret that this performance is not pre
served, for Hobbes, though ready
enough in handling both Greek and
Latin, does not appear to have been a
fine or accurate scholar.
'Hobbes was not yet fifteen when he
went to Oxford. He did not care much
for logic, yet he learned it and thought
himself a" good disputant. There is no
reason to think he learned anything
else at Oxford save a strong dislike of
academic institutions and methods. He
turned from the official studies to
amuse himself with geography and
voyages. As to mathematics, there
was no official recognition of them at
all while Hobbes was at the university.
So there is nothing improbable in the
statement that Hobbes had never
opened a copy of Euclid until he was
near middle age. The story is best told
in Aubrey's own words:
"He was forty years old before he
looked on geometry, which happened
accidentally, being in a gentleman's
library, 'Euclid's Elements' lay open
and it was the 47th Prob., Lib. I. So
he reads the proposition. 'By !' says
he; 'this is impossible.' So he reads the
demonstration of it, which referred
him back to another, which he also
read, 'et sic dei'nceps,' that at last he
was demonstratively convinced of that
truth. This made him in love with
geometry."
CHINESE CONSUMPTIVES. .
The Mongolians' Speedily Succumb to the
Dread Disease.
That there is a large Chinese popula
tion in Boston is well known, and yet
it is seldom that one hears of a death
in the Chinese quarter. The propor
tion of Chinese residents, says the Bos
ton Transcript, is small as compared
with those of other nationalities, and
there is no way to tell the exact num
ber of deaths among them, as they are
recorded by the city officials under the
head of miscellaneous nationalities.
Inquiry reveals the fact that Chinamen
in nearly every case die of consump
tion. . They are ill, as a rule, but a
short time. In their native country
their principal diet is rice, which, from
its healthfulness, tends to lengthen
life. When they begin business here
all their habits change. "They work
early and late, seldom leaving their
shops, and as they succeed they begin
to eat American food. It is remarked by
all with whom they have dealings that
they always buy the best the markets
afford. It is their custom to work un
til midnight or after and then enjoy a
hearty meal. If they are well to do
they are certain to have chickens and
whatever fruit can be procured, no
matter how expensive it may be. If
they have just started in the laundry
business it is quite likely that they
will form a company and adjourn to
the nearest "night lunch wagon" or
restaurant.
Living, as most of them do, in such
small rooms, when sickness overtakes
them they cannot receive proper care
and they are carried to the hospitals.

A LUCKY CHANCE,
Tne Good Fortune of an Ocean Traveler
,, Who Uked to Bet.
A well-known Washingtonian .of
sporting proclivities who has recently
returned from Europe spends about
half his time telling his friends the
story of how he made -a big winning
while crossing the pond, says the Wash
ington News. . '
"We had been out three days," says
he, "and had exhausted nearly every
means of amusement, when far away
on the horizon we sighted the smoke of
an approaching steamer. Speculation
among the sporting element at once
took the form of the nationality of the
vesseL At length some one suggested
that we each put one hundred doliars
into a pool, and eight of us did so.
Miniature flags of the eight principal
maritime nations were deposited in a
bag, and each of us took a draw.
"Well, you can imagine my feelings
when I found that the one I had taken
was that of Italy. The smallness of
her navy and merchant marine became
painfully apparent to me, and visions
of a cool century gone in a moment be
gan to roll up before my eyes. The
English flag, bjr some sort of hog luck,
had fallen to an Englishman,and in his
mind's eye he had that eight hundred
dollars dead sure. And how he did
chaff us.
"Well, I had nothing to say, and you
can bet I played my part well until the
vessel get alongside of us. Then I al
most went into hysterics, for there at
her- mast flew the banner of Sunny
Italy. I was so evercome by my ex
traordinary luck that I spent nearly
half of my winnings in pledging Italy
in the best of wines before we landed
in New York. The captain of our ves
sel told me afterward that this was the
first Italian ship he had met on the high
seas for five years."
A. WHISTLING SNAKE.
It Is One of the Deadliest Serpents Found
in New Guinea.
The discovery of the Horn expedition
to the McDonnell ranges in Australia
of a remarkable specimen of natural
history called a "whistling spider,"
whose peculiarity consists in producing
a whistling noise by 'the simple opera
tion of drawing its fore leg across its
jaw, seems at the moment to be out
done. Sir William Maegregor, the ad
ministrator o British. New Guinea, is
now in the field with another extraor
dinary discovery a whistling snake.
In his latest report Sir William says
that a large number of deaths occurred
early this year in the Rigo district of
New Guinea from snake bite. The ad
ministrator points out that the island
is infested by a small species of black
snake, which . is very fierce. The
natives declare that whenever a man
goes near one it rushes at him, utter
ing sounds which they describe as re
sembling a jvhistle. "Shortly before I
was at the government station," writes
Sir William Maegregor, "one of these
reptiles attacked the government
agent, but was killed before it did any
harm. A little while before a boy of
fourteen years was in the bush near thp
Station, when one of these snakes made
a rush at him with the usual peculiar
whistling sound. The boy thought the
noise emanated from some cockatoos in
a tree and began to look for them. He
did not discover his mistake until he
received a bite from the reptile, from
which he died in. a little while in great
agony." '
HISTORIC FAT WOMEN.
Celebrities Who Were More or Less Dis
posed to Embonpoint
From ancient, medieval and modern
history the following facts about fat
women are gleaned: Agrippina, Nero's
mother, was fat. Cleopatra, the ser
pent of the Nile, as Marc Antony
called her, was small and fat. Laura,
Petrarch's muse, was fat, fair, with
blonde' hair. The Marie Fiammetta
whom Boccaccio loved intensely was a
brunette and fat. Elizabeth, the virgin
queen, was tall and fat, with thick red
hair. Marguerite of Navarre was fat.
All Rubens' women, except his wife,
were fat. All Titian's women, except
the Madonna, were fat. Catherine of
Russia was tall and fat; Louisa Stroz
zi, for whom Alexandre di Medici died,
was rather stout. Josephine Beau
harnais, the indolent Creole, afterward
empress of the French, was fat" and
perfumed; Mme. Roland also. The un
fortunate Marie Antoinette was tall
of stature, majestic and fat; Mme. de
Stael, small, dark and fat, with a small
viper's head. George Sand had a
beautiful head, but was fat and small.
Heine said of her: ' "The build of her
body has the appearance of being a lit
tle too fat, or at least a little too
short; the head .alone bears the cachet
of the ideal." Queen Isabella' of Spain
is fat; Queen Victoria the same; Queen
Margherita of Italy is certainly going
on the same way, and most of the
great singers have been noted for their
embonpoint.
Wasted Forests.
Reckless waste is the thing that
shocks the beholder in the Adirondack
forests. It is partly the reckless waste
of men, partly that of prodigal nature.
Trees cut down are left to rot, corded
wood neglected for years, large pines
felled and burned where they lay for
hunters' fires, all proclaim the waste
fulness of the human denizen or vis
itor. Every forest, even close up on
the edge of civilization, is a tangle of
fallen trunks,. blown or rotted down.
They lie in every direction, some still
intact for their whole length, others
mingled with the soil, buried in leaves
and vegetation. s .
No Law Against It.
A prisoner in India recently, on be
'ing released, revenged himself on the
assistant commissioner who had sen
tenced him by cutting off one-half of
his mustache while he was sleeping
out of doors on a hot night. It was
then found that there was no way of
punishing him nnder the penal code,
for, while cutting the hair of a native
is punishable as dishonoring the per
son, there is no such provision for
Englishmen, and the bodily harm done
was stoo slight to be considered an
offense.
