About Calico.

One of the CrandeSt events of the Sin
TENTH century was tic birth of Calico
Galilei. commonly known as Calico.
Florence, Italy, was the birthplace of
this great man, and the year was 1864.
During his life Calico contributed
greatly to the arts and sciences. He
came of a noble, though very poor, fam
lily. Considering the poverty of his
parents and the poor opportunities for
learning during those days, Calico OBJ
tanned by hard and diligcnt study a
very liberal education. He was partic-
ularly fond of mathematics, and most
ingenious in mechanics. 1t was the
wish of Galilco'S father that he become
i doctor of medicine, but fate had dcS-
tined lin to deal with greater bodies
than those Of his fellows.
Ii 1891 Calico shocked his friends
ana many others 10y Il letter in which
he declared that h had adopted the
Copcrnican theory as 10 the rotary
movement of the earth, a doctrine then
held in much disfavor by the church
element and the clergy, who declared
that such tcarhngs were in direct con-
Prediction to the Scriptures; for t" them
the earth was the great center of the
universe. around which the sun, moon
and stars rcvolvcd.
But Calico turned a deaf ear to those
who cried ''hcrctic," and untirinEly
pursued his studies and invented his
"s,trange devices"
