A Lightning CalcuIator.

The accounts that have appeared in
the daily press Of the extraordinary per-
tormances Of the French calculator.
Jaques Inaudi, are in no way exagger-
ated. In fact, it would be difficult to
exaggerate this mans extraordinary
powers. He seems to possess an unlim-
tied faculty of carrying and manipulate
ing figures in his head, and the faculty
is the more extraordinary in that Inaudi
Is an uneducated man, who is said not
to have learned to write until he was IS
or 20 years Of age. witnessed the ex-
hibition of his powers at the Hotel Vic
toria. His concluding tour de force
comprised the working of a series Of
sums in addition, subtraction, multipli-
cation, division and square root. The
addition comprised six lines Of five fig
ures, the subtraction two lines Of about
1S figures, and so on, and Of the two
square roots given him to find, one was
the root Of a number beginning with
81, 900, 900.
The whole mass Of figures having been
read out to him, Inaudi repeated them
from memory, and then proceeded to
work them out, which he did correctly
In about six minutes. While so engaged
he answered questions put to him by
persons in the room. He mutters figures
rapidly in an undertone while calculat-
ing, which seems to bear out the theory
that his mental process is based upon a
memory of the sound Of the figures rath-
er than a mental picture of their shapes.

Bird Life In London,

Tho rocks, after an absence Of some
years-how many we cannot really COM
NIT ourselves to say-have returned to
kensington gardens and established a
hourishing little colony of some II nests
in the trees on the west side Of the
broad walk, between the old banqueting
hall and the Bayswater road. It is Gu
rious that the bird population of London
seems still to be undergoing a process Of
change, some species being largely on
the increase, while others are decreasing
IN numbers, or have quite recently dis
appeared. The wood pigeons afford the
most noticeable example of increase in
numbers, as they are now fully estab-
ished, not only in the parks, but also in
many Of the squares which have trees
suitable for them to build in, and they
have extended their range well within
the city boundary.
They may always be seen in Palace
yard, Westminster, and for the fourth
year in succession o pair are nesting in
the elm tree over the fountain at the end
of Great George street. Blackbirds and
thrushes, though by no means so notice
able as the pigeons, are certainly on the
increase in the parks, owing, no doubt,
In great measure to the fact that many
Enclosures planted with shrubs have
been made of late years. They are far
from uncommon. Indeed one morning
not long since we saw no less than five
cock blackbirds engaged in tussle un-
der the trees near the flower walk in
Kensington gardens. Tits of two species
the great tit and the blue tit-have
lately been largely on the increase in
Kensington gardens.-London Saturday

"Toad Bone, NVns a Wonder.

All early writers attribute wonderful
qualities to tOads and frogs and the va
riOus parts of their bodies. Pliny be-
lieved, for instance, that if toad was
brought into the midst of mob or other
large and unruly concourse of people
''silence would instantly prevail" A
small bone found in the right side of
toads ''of the proper age" was also be-
heved to have powers over the various
elements. by throwing this bone into
a vessel of boiling water" says Pliny,
'it will Immediately cool it, the water
refusing to boil again until the bone has
been removed. To find this bone, ex-
pose the dead toad on an ant hill. When
the ants have eaten her all away except
the bones, take each bone separately and
drop it into boiling water. Thus may the
wondrous toad bone be discovered. "
This antibOil bone Of course had its op-
pOsite.
In another portion Of his work Pliny
says: ''On the other hand, again, in the
left side Of this reptile there is another
bone which when thrown into water has
all the appearance of making it boil.
The name given this bone is 'apocynon,
which signifies dog averting,' because it
has the power and property of assuaging
the fury Of the fiercest dogs" 1t was
also a sovereign remedy for love and
other trouble, would conciliate es-
tranged friends, and if water in which a
toad bone" had been stepped be used
mixed with lambs tallow as an ointment

spirits both by the day and by the

The Two Bi0 Oceans.

When the Panama canal was first pro-
posed there was a great cry about the
dangers courted in opening up such a
"ditch, some extremists declaring that
the ''hves Of millions of human beings
were at stake" This general alarm was
caused by the argument that the waters
on the Pacific side of the isthmus were
hundreds of feet higher than were those
ON the Atlantic side and that the great
rush OF waters to even up the difference
In the level Of the two oceans would
drown all southern North America and
most Of Mexico and Yucatan.
Would be engineers and sensational
editors passed their opinions or wrote
editorials on the subject. It now tran
spires, as a result of actual survey. that
the Atlantic and not the Pacific is the
higher Of the two oceans and that in
place OF the difference being hundreds of
feet, rs had been affirmed, the surface of
the water on the east side Of the isthmus
Is exactly 81 feet higher than it is ON the
western side.-Philadelphia Press.

A San francisco audience will be
much more amused by the manner in
which the professor breaks down Mrs.
Brooklyn Bridges ceiling than it will
over the splendid merriment of SirsToby
Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheeksan NAL
volio. 1t is like the French audience,
which is infinitely more amused by wit
than by humor.
But comedy is not held in great favor
here. The San Franciscans being the
most pleasure loving of people, prefer
tragedy. A good, old fashioned, blood
splitting tragedy, where every one is
killed in the last act, is highly approved
Of. If Edwin Forrest were alive today,
he would count his most frantic admir-
ers in the city by the Golden Gate.
Tragedy as he must have understood
it-tragedy played with all the force Of
the lungs-tragedy where the murdered
victim and the despairing suicide took
half an hour to die and died acrobat
lcally from the footlights to the door at
the back of the stage-would meet with
the heartiest approval here. The ele-
ment In the theaters which loved and
worshiped Forrest and his energetic
methods is larger in San Francisco than
In most cities of its size. It is not that
the audiences here do not contain In
dividual spectators Of the highest artis-
tic insight and cultivation, 1t is that the
majority Of the audience is formed of
spectators whose taste in the drama is
very much ON the same lines as the taste
in the drama of the gods in the gallery.
The spectators Of insignificant education
and uncultivated taste are more numer-
GUS than the spectators of cultured mind
and trained powers of appreciation, and

news came to him by wire. It consisted
OF only few lines, and 1 supposed of

A scouts Tribute to Custer.

Living in comparative retirement
In a neat cottage on Ashby avenue, in
South Berkeley, is man who enjoys
the distinction of being, perhaps, the
only white person who witnessed the
massacre of General G. A. Custer
and his little band of cavalrymen
by hostile Sioux on the Little Big
Horn River on June %, 1875.
Josiah j. Rose is the man. He
spent nearly six years with General
Custer as a scout, first entering the
service in 1869, after Clusters restora-
tion TO his command. Custer was at
that time suffering keen mental tor
ture because of his suspension two
years before for cruelty to his men
and for having left his command
without permission.
The charge of cruelty against Gus
ter was, in Roses opinion, absolutely
groundless. This judgment is based
upon his subsequent intercourse with
the general in the Bad Lands OF
Dakota "a relationship which re-
suited in the discovery by Rose that
Custer was "a whole souled man with
q heart like woman's."
81 have often read, here and there,
articles upon General Clusters char
acter as man and soldier" said the
ex-scout to the writer Nearly all
of these were incorrect, particularly
those in which he was charged with
being cruel and heartless towards his
men, and all that sort of thing. Now
/ know he was man with big
heart kind and eonsiderate. He was
strict disciplinarian, however, and
this, no doubt, was the cause of the
attacks upon him. But he was a
thorough soldier, with a soldiers idea
of duty and discipline. That cannot
be regarded as fault in command
ing officer on an expedition where
the observance of all rules of army
discipline is essential to safety and
success. San Francisco Chronicle.

bles that the French people consume

the least After the French come

leans, in order named. -.
In explanation ofathe comparative
ly low average American consump-
tion Of wheat it may be said that the
people of the middle West and
throughout the South consume vast
amount of corn; not so much by rea-
son of its greater cheapness perhaps,
as from inclination and habit. Pri-
marily, corn was the food Of the
negro population In the days of s,a-
very owing to its lesser cost, and the
negro cooks in white families no
doubt were instrumental in intro
ducing the palatable corn "pone" and
other creations of like sort to the
tables of the average Southern plant
err This custom still prevails
throughout the South and has gained
also strong foothold in some of the
Mississippi' Valley States, thus re-
ducing below several other countries
