great German historian, was very alb
sentminded One day he was engaged
in his study in profound researches
and failed to notice the presence of his
servant, who announced that his lunch
was ready. The servant asked II he
might bring the courses to the pro
fessor and, receiving no reply, laid the
table near the writing desk. Returning
ten minutes later with some fish, the
mental found the soup untouched.
Thinking it too good to spoil, he sat
down and finished soup and fish I'M
observed of the professor. The re-
manning courses suffered similar fate.
About an hour later Mommsen looked
up from his work and proceeded to the
kitchen to ask why luncheon had not
