LIGHTNING CALCULATIONS.
Remarkable Feats That Have Puzzled
Expert Matthew aticians.

Some skeptical persons who wit
messed Inaudi's extraordinary per
formances in mental arithmetic at the
London Ilippodrome a short time ago,
expressed an uneasy feeling that they
might probably have been duped after
all; that the wonderful sums in add.
ton, subtraction, division and eXtrac-
ton of root which were proposed to
him from the audience, and which he
seemed to perform with such ease and
expedition, to say nothing of his re-
peating without error the long rows
of figures written on blackboard be-
hind his back, might have been all
carefully arranged and learned be-
forehand. Their skepticism, however,
was entirely groundless. maud first
gave evidence Of his curious aptitude
for mentally manipulating figures
when he was six years old. At the
age of seven he could multiply with
five figures correctly. And for
some years after this he relieved the
tedium of his lonely life as a Pledmon-
tese shepherd boy by sedulously cul'
tivating this extraordinary faculty.
And he is by no means the only in.
stance on record of boy Of little or
no education being able to do sums
which might puzzle senior wrang-
Ter, and whose ineXplicable powers
have certainly afforded further puz-
zle to the professional psychologist
A farm laborer from Derbyshire
named Jedediah Buxton, who was eX-
amined before the Royal society in
1854. was possessed of very similar
power Although his grandfather was
vicar and his father schoolmaster of
the parish in which he was born, yet
Jedediah, either from natural in
capacity or from preocCupation with
his arithmetiCal pursuits, never even
acquired the rudiments of learning,
either could or would not so much as
learn to write, ana was content to
work as farm laborer to the end Of
his days. Bur at q very early age he
appears to have had an intuitive per-
ception of the relative proportions of
numbers and to this subject he de.
voted the whole of his attention. His
method was so much his own that he
seems TO have been quite unac-
quainted with the common rules.

PURE AIR.
Its Great Value as Cure for Con

Its Great Value as Cure for Con.
sumption.
1t is important that the entire time
of the patient should be passed in
pure air. The vigilance of this in.
cessant campaign against the enemy
should not be relaxed a moment.
Therefore good air has to be pro
vided for the time spent within doors.
| Otherwise the foe will take advantage
, of the armistice. With the new forces
thus recruited by him, the advantages
gained will be largely counteracted.
Hence, the rooms have not only to be
kept scrupulously clean and disin-
fected, but thoroughly ventilated.
The patient has to sleep with window
open as wide as possible. In certain
German sanatoria abundant pure air
at night is so insisted upon that there
are no windows in the openings. An
abundance Of bed clothing is provided,
and the patient soon learns to sleep
in comfort in the most Indictment
weather, even though the snow blows
in. The excess Of oxygen fairly
burns the noxious microbes out OF
the system.
In an eastern Massachusetts re-
gion, not far from the coast and but
slightly above the sea level, subject
to all the vicissitudes of climate for
which New England is famous, and
SO plagued with consumption that
one-fourth of all the deaths in the
community are caused by it, some re-
markable results have been obtained
by Dr.. Charles S. Millet, of Brock
ton, in the home treatment of con.
sumption. A young man many Of
whose nearest relatives on both sides
had died of the disease was the first
case. He was already in a bad way
when change of climate was advised
and the prospect of leaving home so
depressed him that he became much
worse. His physician had been in
terested in the accounts Of the Ger
man methods of keeping patients out
in recliningchairs until ten o'clock
in the evening, but he considered a
bed the best place at night, So the
doctor consented to the patients de-
sire to keep at work-for he was en-
ployed in a factory and could not
leave without serious saCrifice-on
condition that he sleep outdoors.
The young man had a platform built
in a sheltered angle outside his cham.
Der window, where there was a south
westerly exposure. Here he slept
under the sky for five months. He
began to gain flesh from the start
In four months his weight had in
creased by twenty-five pounds. Re.
Covery was complete. The only
medicine he took was a tonic of nux
vomica. The same physician met
with equal success with like treat
ment in various other cases. The
ideal arrangement of a sanatorium
would, therefore seem to be one
where the sleeping rooms, with
southernly exposure are planned with
window-openings so large that the
whole space is commonly free to the
air on one side, while without there
are balconies where the beds can be
rolled out for sleeping under the stars
