An AbsenE-Aunded Man.

Johns Hopkins University still gos-
sips Of Prof. Sylvester, the marvellous
mathematician who came over from
England to teach the science in which
all his interests centered. His mind
was ever occupied with mathematical
problems, and all sorts of things hap
pened to him on the streets Of Ralti-
more. The mosG amusing episode of
his life on this side, however, grew
out of voyage to Europe. While
abroad he made some highly impOr-
tant calculations, but on reaching
Baltimore he found that the paper on
which he figured was missing. So
important were the calculations that
he took a steamer back to England in
order to look up the papers. He did
not find them, and started back to
the United States deeply disappoint-
ed; but during the voyage he acct
dentally discovered, in pocket of the
overcoat he had worn on the previous
voyage, the very thing he was in
search Of.

T0ifnfng Their Less Old.

Engine horses which are expected
to rush from their stalls at an alarm
Of fire differ as much In their capabil-
ity for learning that duty as school,
boys at their tasks. Half a minute
is the maximum time for companies
in flrst-c1ass department to make
ready and leave the house. And the
ordinary time is fifteen or twenty
seconds. At night alarm the men
slide down on poles from the loft, the
horses scramble to their feet, the
doors in front of them fly open, and
out they rush. Each horse goes to
his proper place, and the driver, from
his seat, let down the harness. Two
or three men, standing at the pole,
snap the collars together, fasten the
reins to the bits, and off they 60
The author of "Road, Track, and
Stable" says That teaching a new
horse to come out Of his stall at the
signal, and range himself alongside
the pole, is not SO difficult as might
be supposed.
Imagine a pair of new horses as
signed to an engine. The surround
ings are more or less terrible to them,
but they are very gently and carefully
handled, and gradually lose their
fear. Their tuition begins at once,
and the driver is their teacher, as
sisted by the other men.
The ordinary signal is given as II
for a fire. The stall doors open. and
the horses are led out, put in position,
and in few minutes led back. This
process is perhaps a dozen times re.
peated. Great pains are taken that
the animals shall not strike against
anything, or be by any means fright
ened.
The unusual spectacle Of a harness
suspended in air is apt to disturb
them at first, but they are led slowly
up to it, and induced to smell Of 1t
and inspect it on all sides.
