Chess and Mathematics

The worlds chess champion, Eman-
uel Lasker, who has just been appoint
ed to a mathematical professorship in
the University Of st. Louis, is one of
the few instances of a marked taste
for chess and mathematics being found
in the same person. Contrary to the
popular belief, great chess players
have seldom been mathematicians. An
derson, one of the finest chess players
who ever lived, was professor of math-
ematics at Beglan, and DR.. Lasker held
for some time a minor mathematical
post at Owens college, but the only ex-
ample Of mathematician of the high
est rank who was also a first class
chess player is DR.. Salmon, the provost
of Dublin university. DR.. Salmon has
not played for years, but some forty
years ago he was regarded as one of
the best amateurs in the country, and
every chess student is familiar with
the famous game he played against
Paul Morphy at the end of the ffties.-

Duty of Grin Sufferers.

1t Is now universally realized that
still disposed to treat it lightly. Their
heedlessness is liable to spread NAL
ady which too often develops into
pneumonia, whose fatality this season
is unprecedented. Grip sufferers should
neither receive nor pay visits and to
whatever degree they are able to de-
tach themselves from the rest of the
community they should remain detach-
ed until their influenza symptoms have
disappeared. Unfortunately, a large
portion of the American people cannot
follow such advice. Those who can are
inexcusable for refusing to take it.

A VICTIM OF NERVES.
Yet Rosa BonheBr Possessed One of

Glimpses into the private lives of
geniuses will probably always be eager
ly sought after by the public For the
benefit Of the importunate, Edward
Marshall in q recent novel raises the
curtain of the studio occupied by Nine.
Rosa Bonheur during her lifetime in
the Latin quarter of Paris and allows
a peep at the eccentric genius as she
often appeared in working hours. Clad
in her usual mannish costume of blue
jean and smoking a cigarette, she was
an unconventional figure enough in
her large barnllke room, dirty and al
most unfinished save for few high
stools built of rough lumber by her
coachman." The plentiful splashes of
paint which decorated the walls and
floor were the results of the many
kinds of bad temper possessed by the
gifted lady. When victim of nerves,
she was wont to rant and rave about
her studio, shouting her remarks TO
her hearers, though hiding away
through 1t all the kindest Of hearts.
On this particular occasion the painter
of horses was entertaining callers, and.
becoming annoyed, she suddenly picked
up huge paint brush, such as might
be used in painting house. For sec
ond or two she walked the floor toying
with 1t as a lady plays with a fan.
Then, on the entrance of a manservant,
who brought in quietly what seemed
to be a card or letter, the great wom-
an stopped perfectly still, eyed him for
a moment as hunter might eve a
moose, then, taking deliberate aim,
threw the brush. 1t struck him full In
the chest. Paint spattered into his
face, and as he turned and made a
hasty retreat she remarked to her Wis
itors, ''That is why keep those great
brushes and that cheap paintr'

Scientific Photography.

An attempt is being made by the
Academy of Sciences of Vienna to turn
the photograph to account as an i'm
portant registering instrument for sci
ence. One intended application is in
the study of various languages and
dialects which are now in the course
of development or of extinction. Three
scientific expeditions recently sent out
by the academy have been equipped
with specially designed monographs
intended for the investigation of Ian
guages and other phenomena depend
ing upon sound waves. In order to
secure permanent records the academy
has devised a method of metal plating
the wax records so that they will serve
as phonotypes from which fresh wax
plates may be cast at any time. Sim
liar efforts to utilize the photograph
for scientific purposes have been made
elsewhere, but the Vienna scheme is
on larger scale.

In stock companies in Germany a

fully paid cash capital or other good
assets subject to severe examination
and approved by the commercial court
before the company is registered. 1t is
