But the classical case OF this kind
was that investigated by a committee OF
such scientists as Nm. Arago I.ibri
and Lacroix at PARIS. They examined
Vito Mangiamele, the son OF a Sicilian
peasant. eleven years OF age. putting to
him such questions as: Find the cube
root of 1886, 4l6''-wnich the boy did

root Of 2S2. AIS, 249''-whicn lie did within

what number has the following pro-
portions-that, If it's cube is added TO
five times its square. and then forty-two
times the number, and the number for
ty be subtracted from the result, the
remainder is equal 10 or zero?" NJ.
Arago repeated this question, but while
he was finishing she last word the boy
replied correctly. The number is five"
Mysterious and Useless.
Two things strike you about this exc
tTaordinary congenital faculty-its mys-
teriousness and rs useIessness. In ex-
emplification OF the two take the case of
Jedediah Buxton. He also worked out
almost lnstantaneously the most COM
pick problems: but he could give no ac-
count of the mental process by which
he solved them. This process was so
far from being correlated with intellect
OF even intelligence. that when Jedediah
went to hear a great preacher OF went
&c see Carrie in Richard III" his
sole interest In the sermon or IN the
play was the counting up Of the num-
Der of words uttered by the preacher

Some Curious Mathematical prOdiQieS

7 INFANT musical prodiGies are intel
IIgible and even natural. compared
i with infant mathematical prodigies.
How account for the intuitive fac
ulty by which some children, unable 20
read. write or cipher. can answer in
simultaneously the most complicated
arithmeticaI problems? Zerah CoIburn,
g e., at six. could neither write nor
cipher, and yet could answer, apparently
by intuition. and unhesitatingly. all
kinds of arithmetical questions. At eight
he came on show from the United States
TO London. and answered In a moment
and accurately such questions as: How
many minutes are there in forty-eight
years?'' The child not only answered it
at once and correctly. but instantly
added the number of seconds contained
In that period. BY what mental process
he arrived at these answers he could
not explain.
At Age of Twelve.
Here. again. Is a question which
George Bidder. the son of a Devonshire
laborer. answered at the age Of twelve,
in one minute. II was put 10 him in the
| London stock exchange; "If the pepdu-
lum of a clock vibrates the distance OF
nine inches and three-quarters in a
second of time, how many inchesFwill it
vibrate in the course of seven years.
fourteen days. two hours. enc minute
and ffty-six seconds. each year of three
hundred and sixty-fve days. five hours,

| Within the minute the boy had an
swered correctly: Two thousand one
hundred and sixty-five million six hun
bred and twenty-five thousand seven
hundred and forty-four inches and three
quarters. In miles, thirty-four thousand
