GEORGE WILSON,
A Genius at Figures.

Mr.. Leonard Gardner of South Wey-
mouth, mechanic, who never had more
than ordinary schooling, devotes the
most of his time to astronomical calcu-
lations, by methods which he has taught
himself, and has attracted the attention
of the scientists at Cambridge and Wash
ington by the accuracy of his computa-
tions, in some cases having pointed out
and corrected the errors in those of
more learned men. He spent some time
last year in computing the limits of Wis
ibility of the recent transit of Venus on
the earth, with the time of beginning
and of the transit mt Ill places on the
globe, and the suns altitude and All
muth at the beginning and mt the end.
The work filed a closely lined book of
large paper and over 400 pages, which
was bound and presented as curiosity
to the public library of bingham, of
which town Mr.. Gardner was a native.
The library was burned last year, and
the book shared the same fate, but, al
though Mr.. Gardner had no other rec
ord of his work, he determined to re-
place the volume, and has again COM
pleted the computation, and had it sub
stantially bound by Groom of Boston.

the observatory at Cambridge are de
sirous of securing it for the library, not
only for its value as mathematical
work, but as a curious specimen OF
work done by a mechanic who never
enjoyed special culture. Mr.. Gardner
has offered to furnish for the library al
Weymouth drawing of the coming
transit of Venus, 1882, with the time OF
its beginning and end in that town.
