SCIENTIFIC CONGRESS- ASTONISHED.
The Young Wonder Explains Method
by Which lie Reaches Results
Before Problems Can BE
Put on Paper.

NEW HAVEN, Dec. 30.-Probably
the most interesting thing brought out at
the congress of scientists now in session
here is the discovery by the American
Psychological society of Arthur f. Crit
fifth, a mathematical prodigy That the
young man is a prodigy is beyond dis
pute, and his wonderful performances
have amazed the learned men of the con-
gress.
Two Yale savants of mathematics,
Professors Andrew Phillips and w. H.
Becbe, have put the youthful wonder to
the severest tests known to science, but
never once thus far has he failed.
Arthur +. Griffith is 10 years old, and
while a marvel in "a strictly mathematical
sense he is an infant in all other matters.
Before being placed before the assembled
scientists by Professor Bryan, who is re-
sponsible for his discovery young Griffith
gave this account of himself
Il am the oldest of five children and
native of Milford, Ind. My father is a
stone mason and Il poor man. l learned
to count when | was years old, and
when ! was ; l could count up TO 10000.
I know the multiplication table mp to
100, the cubes of all numbers up TO 100
and the fourth powers UP to 20. / also
know most of the multiplication table up
to 600, but not all of it.
"Ihore is nothing mysterious about the
way | work. First. my knowledge of
these tables helps me; second, ] can sec
all the figures that are given to me men,
tally, just as if they We're on black
board three feet away.
Il have worked out a lot of rules for
myself that make arithmctical operations
very simple. | can give you the cube
root of any number in four seconds and
the square root in two seconds. | can
multiply 10 numbers by any other Il and
carry them in my head
AS starter Griffith was asked to give
the product of All and 80. Before the
question was fairly asked he had given
the answer, 1895. Multiplying 6T6 by
241, he gave the answer, 162,91G, quicker
than an ordinary writer could have plac.

other OH slate

examinations. Neither does he know any.

logarithms, calculus. geometry. algebra
and the like. His forte is numbers only.
Griffith is a typical country lad. with
an unganly body and big feet and hands.
He has splendidly shaped head, howev

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30.-The war.
rant for the arrest of Charles n. Cole,
formerly of the Globe bank of Boston, on
a charge of embezzlng $4,000 has ar
rived. The United States marshal also
received a telegram from the attorney
general OF the United States directing
him to conduct Cole to Boston under
guard. Cole waived a preliminary ex
animation. and the start for Boston was
made today. The warrant contains four
counts The first charges Cole with re-
ceiving 5000, 900 on Aug last and en-
bezzling it, and the second accuses him
of embezzing $500 900 on Aug. II. The
other two counts simply refer to these
transactions.

"Colesberg is in our hands, and the few

Our losses were quite slight, but the
Beers must have suffered heavily. They
may stop at Achtertang or cross the river
altogether at Norval's Pont, where the
bridge is still intact"
The Times, in its second edition, pub
fishes dispatch from Sterkstroom, dated
Dec. 81, which says:
Captain Montmorencys scouts were
cut off owing to their refusal to leave a
wounded officer, Lieutenant Warren OF
Brabant's horse. These men, under
Lieutenants Milford and Turner of the
Frontier mounted rifles, defended them
selves most calamity against the re-
peated attacks of some 500 Beers. The
enemy rcsortcd to sniping during the
night, but were rcpulscd with loss.
AT 5:15 this morning Captain Colds
worthy, with the Cape mounted rifles
arrived. and the enemy Immediately fled
to the hills. Turner's party, whose horses
had all been killed, were rescued. They
displayed splendid pluck, and the bril-
liant manner in which Captain Colds
worthy effected their relief on his own
responsibility is deserving of the highest
praise Our loss was two men wounded.
Tho Beers lost about 80 men, including 8
killed"
Another account says: "Thc success of
this LITTLE party viii arrest the progress
of the cncmy's recruiting in that vicini-

BRILLIANT RECEPTION.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Beneath a
sky as bright as that above Cuba and in
q wind as cold as the Arctic over 1000
citizens stood in line at the White House
gates yesterday waiting to pay their re-
spccts to the president of the United
States after the brilliant official reception
which ushered in the new year and mark
ed the opening of the social season in
Washington.
The decorations of the executive man
sion were not as elaborate this year as
they have been on some former occasions
Still there was n profusion of palms.
fern, smiax, holly and other greens
everywhere through the state dining,
the blue, red and green parlors and the
east room. The muntcls were banked
high with foliage plants and the window
recesscs filed with tall graceful palms
and rubber plants. The green of the
foliage plants was relieved by scarlet
poinsetta and other towering plants.
The light of the brilliant day was cxclud-
ed and the rooms were flooded with cleo
trio lights from thousands of tiny bulbs,
adding to the brilliancy of the decora-
tions. The gltteliu" gold and silver

ARMY CHANGES IN CUBA.
4 Complete REORGANIZATION of the
Cnnlnlnnda In tic IslnMh soon.

Commands In the Island Soon.
WASiIiNGTON, Jan. Ut is proba
HE that tie present month will be mark
ed by n complete reorganization Of the
military commands in Cuia. The impress
sion prevails that there is to be Il heavy
reduction in these commands, and ii is
minated that the outcome will be the
creation OF two departments instead Of
the six which originally comprised Cuba
and The four into which the island is now
divided.
General Wilson, who commands the
combined departments of Matanzas and
Santa Clara, has been ordered to Wash
ington, and it is not the present intcn-
ton that he shah return to Cuba. 1t is
said that while here he, with General
Davis, who is coming from Porto Rico
and is due on the 9TH at New York, will
confer with the committees of congress
having to do with the creation of new
form of government for Porto Rico and
with legislation for Cuba during the time
it shall remain under American control.
The combined department of Santiago
and Puerto Principe is without com
mander, although the duties of the post
vacated by General Wood upon his pro-
motion to the governor generalship are
being temporarily discharged by the sen
ior colonel. Thus the entire orient, as
the eastern half of the island is called
is without a permanent commander. II
is understood that the four departments
in the orient will be consolidated into
one and that a brigadier general will he

ommendation of General Wood. to take

A DARK PROPHECY.
Partisan Prophecies Predicts Early
Death of Queen and Pope.

PARIS, Dec. 29.-Apparently inspired
by the vagueness of Nine. de Thebe's
predictions for 1900, Octave Uzanne has
sought more precise details from a rival
charlatan-that is to say, cheiromancier.
She seems to fout Nine. de Thebe's
declaration that Venus will be the ruling
influence next year by prophesying that
1900 will be n more terrible year than
1870, the year which the French know as
'rannee terrible par excellence"
Clouds Of blood and mourning are to
burst over many points of the universe
within the year of the peace congress.
Formidable battles will be fought.
Two important personages will die be-
fore springtime Victoria and the pope.
The latter will be succeeded after two
days conclave by Cardinal b.
The United States will encounter in
surmountable difficulties in the Philip
pines and will be unable to overcome the
resistance of the natives.
