Tbe Powers or Abstrnouon

There are not wanting instances Of re-
maTkable powers of abstraction, though
the %spiritualists Of the day may sscribe
the phenomena to the explanation of
frances. Archimedes was so absorbed
in a geometrical meditation that lie vas
first aware of the s.orming of Syracuse
by his own death wound. His exclama.
ton on the entrance Of the Roman sol.
diers was, 'Noli turbare meos circulos."
In like manner Joshph Scaliger, the most
learned of men, when q Protestant stu.
dent in Paris was so engrossed 10 the
study of Homer that he became aware Of
the massacre of St. Bartholomew aud of
his own escape only the day subsequent to
the catastrophe. This is a good one and
compares favorably with the fact that
some OF the aspirants for city Office did
not discover until to day that they es-
capped the catastrophe of nomination aud
election. CarnesdeG was h~abitually liable
to fits Of meditation so profound, that to
prevent him from sinking from mani.
ton, his maid found it necessary to feed
him like a child. 1t is naid that Newton,
while engaged in bis mathematical re-
searches, sometimes forgot to dine. The
great philosopher and mathematician
Cardsn while ono upon a journey was
so lost in thought that he forgot both his
way and the object Of his travel. When
he came to himself at nightfall he was
not a little surprised to find his carriage
at a standstill and directly under a gal
lows. The mathematician Vieta was
sometimes 30 wrapped up in thought as
to be unconeious of everything around,
and re~sembled more a corpse than a liv-
ing person. Bud@ls on his Duptial day
almost lost bis senses-a natural thing 10
be sure-but was aroused by a tardy EN-.
bassy from the marriage party, who
found him absorbed in the composition
Of his Commentarii. But the world is
not afflicted now with such ponderous
minds.
