Didn't Come True.


Society were comparatively simple. They
merely involved simple problems in addi-
ton, subtraction, division and multplica-
ton. He was asked to add figures like
425, 1872 and 9s7, and before any one could
answer was out-2,154. The more elab-
crate lists Of figures were recited TO him.
and each time the answer came with the
same rapidity.
Then questions in subtraction followed.
He was asked to subtract 537 and S3i
from 3,672 and the answer was odt-2,031-
as quick as a flash. And so they contin-
ued to ply him with questions combining
addition and subtraction. and each time
getting the answer with unfailing accu-
racy as quickly as the question was
asked.
Then they jumped to multiplication and
division, and then into combinations Of
the four. How much is AIT times 235 was
asked, and before any one coul1 hava

proceeded to ask him problems like these:
man divided his fortune between three
sons. giving one half, one third, and
another $1,000; what was the fortune? He
was utterly unable to solve the problem.
He could find no principle that applied
to the question. Set the problem before
him in figures and he had the reply ready
in an instant. One minus one-half, minus
one-third, equals sixth, and six times
$1,000 is $4,000. This best illustrates tbs
limitations of his mentality.
Continuing, they gave him questions
in dates. How much time expires between
August s. 1899. and September -. 1860, in
hours and he would answer 9,672 hours.
If he had been asked in minutes or Sec
onds he would have answered as readily.
For instance, when asked at half-past
10 o'clock on Thursday morning how
many seconds before Sunday noon. he
replied offhand 26i.600 as sprly as you
please. Other questions Of the reduction
of longitudinal distances to time. when
both or either of the places were on one
side of the Greenwich line: or reducing
measures and weights from one to an

subjects of the kind. he answered infal-
libby. His accuracy on questions Of busi-
ness, such as promissory notes and when
due, was remarkable.
Many thought to catch him on questions
of powers and roots. The first square
root question he answered was the root
