Fitzpatrick. Brennan was desperate
character who had once before escaped
from prison at Hoito. but had been recap
tured. He was taken aboard at Iloilo and
confined in the brig the day before the
transport sailed for this city. During the
night, while the Fitzpatrick was at anchor
off shore a mile from land. second lieu
tenant en- guard heard a splash. He
called out: Man overheard"
No" was the response that came from
the water; only taking little swim" ="
The officer gave no further taHuSht to
the incident A few hours later 1t was
discovered that the Iron bars of the brig
had been cut through and that Brennan
had disappeared. The officers came to the
conclusion that the man who jumped into
the water must have been Brennan, and
that his little swim" probably extended
to shore.
At the time Brennan went over the side

may have been unable to reach land As

MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY.
Wonderful Feats AttTibuTeu 10
ana Alan

The claim is now made that Arthur
Griffith, the Indiana mathematical
prodigy, excels in his work Buxton,
the Englishman. Griffith now has eight
different methods of his own for addi-
ton, 10 for division, and "a for null
duplication. He can take. any number
it is said. between $40 sands1000, and
raise it to the fifth powerl;in 80 Sec
onds without the use of either pencil
or paper.
Griffith can add mentally three col.
umns at a time, it is asserted; divide
any set of figures or multiply any set
of figures in from one to 40 seconds
and extract square and cube roots in
from three to Is seconds He remem-
bers every problem that he works.
The hardest test which he has yet
been given. so he claims, is to stand
and see a freight train pass with 20
or 80 cars, and then tell the number
of each car in their order and specify
to what road each belonged.
Besides being a wonder in mathe-
mates, Griffith is fairly we'll edu'
Gated in the common school studies.
He can read, write, and spell, and can
carry on an intelligent and interest
ing conversation. He knows the name
and length of every railroad in the
country, and besides being about 40
percent ahead of Buxton in the line OF
mathematics he is at least 80 percent
ahead of him in other studies.

A Case For the Doctor

Ethel, whose father breaches to one
Of the most fashionable congregations
on the South Side. This gentleman
has the proud right to attach D. D. to
his name, SO everybody but his daugh-
ter calls him doctor"
One day last week Mildred ran over
to the minister's house, and, finding
Ethel, asked if her father was at
home
well, l want to see him right
away" the little girl said, when she
learned that the reverend gentleman
was busy.
What's the trouble?" asked Ethel's
mother, who overheard the two chill.

Il must see the DOCTOR" Mildred
said, land it's a hurry case. Nobody
else will do"
After, further appeals and addition,
al declarations Of the presence Of an
emergency the child was taken into
the minister's study, where, without
waiting to be asked for an explanation
she cried:
"Oh, doctor, my kittens awful sick
and won't you please come right away
and do something for it."
Il have frequently been called tc

story, "but that was the only time

Creative Ability.

The young man in demand every.
where to-day is the one who can create
something, the man of productive
power. There are many who can do
routine work, follow prescribed lines,
carry out in detail program mapped
out by others, but the man of original
force, Of constructive energy, who can
start out in untrodden paths and blaze
the way for others, is as rare as he is
valuable.
There is always a premium on the
thinker, the man of original ideas and
methods and real productive force.
Insurance companies are securing the
country for such men; merchants are
in need Of them, great combinations
are looking for them as leade9s; they
are wanted in law, in the business
world, in the field of science, in all
walks of life.-Success.

Trolley Influence Overcome.

At a magnetic observatory at Pare

compensating for the influence Of a
trolley line about two miles distant
has been worked out. This modifica'
ten Of the usual instruments is Of
great Importance as it has been evil
dent for some time past that the &C.
curacy of the recording magnetic in
struments are quite simple, and, it. is
asserted, permit of the most sensitive
indications of the earth's magnetic

The foreign disturbances are sup
pressed by the use of bar magnets

ment needles by the weghting of the
needles and by a copper damper
placed close to the face Of each needle.
Minute changes in the earth's mag.
