Reuben Fields, mos; extraordinary
individual, has returned to his home near
0wiagsyille, KS, after an absence Of some
years in the west Fields Is known far aud
wide as the Mathematical Prodigy and,
indeed, he is a most wonderful creature.
Perfectly ilii,craie, no, being able to tell
one letter or figure from another, he bears
the same relation TO the science of mathe-
malics that Blind Tom does to music,
Fields IS now about 2s years OF age, and
ability TO quickly and correctly solve the
most difficult problems was discovered
when be was but years old That facul-
Is continued to develope until he Is able to
solve, with hghtning-hke rapidity any pro-
blem in simple or compound fractions, or
anything in the higher branches of maihe-
mates. For instance the moon Is q GER
tain number Of miles from the earth, a
grain Of corn Is So laag, how many grains
will il take To connect the poiuts2 The
answer to this or any other problem comes
like fash He esa also tell to the frac-
ton Of second she time of day or night.
This marvellous man has been tested by
the most expert mathematieians, and his
answer to problems have been found to be
invariably correct Scientists have exam
ined Fields head and pronounced his
wopdrou2ly developed faculties mystery
to them, Fields knows little else than
this extraordinary ability. He claims that
his power in this respect is a direct gift
from his Creator, and liable to be taken
away from him if not properly used. The
posSessor of this gift never went to school
day in his life, and never did day :
work, except to occasionally aid merchants
in invoicing their goods, and in this bust
/ ness he has been known to keep score or
more of clerks busy footing up columns of
figures He is very large man, and has
look the reverse of intelligent, Having
no occupation he lives among his acquain-
tances, putting up wherever night oyertakes
him. He is very proud of his gift, and
frequently compares himself to Samson,
Field gave an exhibition of his powers
before Gov. Crittenden and other distin-
guished men of Missouri on late visit
west, and they unhesitatingly pronounced
him one of the greatest wonders of the
| century

half ton of powder, over distance of ten

forty-three feet long and to weigh 100000

build one, and it will not be outranked by

A beautiful flower, called the rice lily,
grows thickly in parts of Southwestern
Georgia. 1t is extremely sensitive to the
light. The blossoms fold up at night, but
open in the morning. At night, while the
lovely white blossoms are closely enfolded
in their purple coverings and the flowers
are asleep, if lamp is placed near them
they will gradually open and turn toward
it. If strong light is placed on one side
of vase containing them, the half of the
bouquet that faces the lamp will be un
folded, while the other half that is in the
shadow will remain tightly closed.

STRUCK BY A STORM.

A Number of Workmen Buried in the
Ruins of a New, Building.
TACOMA, W. T., May Shortly before
6 O'Clock last night, while between fifteen
and twenty men were at work on the new
building being erected for a hotel by Wal
ter Bates, who was acting as his own fore
man, tremendous storm came up from
the southwest which struck the building
with full force and blew it down, buryiDg
the workmen in the ruins. Hundreds of
citizens and laborers just returning from
their labor were soon at work rescuipg the
imprisoned men. The body of Walter
Bates was first taken out. This was fol-
lowed by two injured workmen and a
workman named Mcdonnell, who was dead.
W. Fl. Smell, city attorney and son-in law
of Bates, was taken out seriously injured
Three dead bodies were..recovered, but they
have not yet been identified. The work
of removing the sdebris was still going on
and stifed means were heard underneath.
Besides the workmen who were injuced
Rev. W. A. Mackey, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church, who stopped to seek shelter
from the rain, was seriously injured.
