The Most Common Cause of Suffering
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. In many
cases the relief from pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma-
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in the
weather, permanent cure cannot be
expected; the relief from pain which
this 1iniment affords is alone worth

What Is most surprising about thl'
greatest calculator on record is that ht
was stupid IN mathematics. Petersen
is said to have tried in vain for six
weeks to get the first elements OF
mathematics into his head, and Other
eminent mathematicians found that he
had very little mathematical ability
Fortunately he was advised by somt
of the leading mathematicians OF his
day to turn his extraordinary ability
to scientific uses instead of going
around the country giving public exhi-
billions, career upon which he had
entered at the age Of fifteen. He cal
culated many useful tables and was
engaged on an extensive factor table
at the time Of his death. The ease and
speed with which he could count the
numbers Of books In a case, the num-
Der of sheep in herd, etc, were al
most more surprising that his extraor-
dinary ability as mental calculator.
Another well known mental calcula-
tor, having even less mathematical
ability than Dase, is Buxton, who re-
mained illiterate through life, although
his father had some education. He had
a wonderful memory for numbers and
could call off long numbers from right
to left or from left to right with equal
facility. On one occasion he squared
mentally thirty-nine figure number
in two and half months. He was ex-
tremely slow and in this respect re-
sembled negro of the name Of
Tom Fuller, who is known as the Vir-
ginia calculator. Although entirely H.
Iiterate, he was able to reduce mentally
years and months to seconds and could
two nine-fgure numbers.
Darboux has called attention to an
infant prodigy. Joseph Bertrand was
born in Paris in 1922 and was such a
lelicate child that his parents did not
Expect him to arrive at manhood, and
renee his early education was partly
neglected At the age Of four he was
Iick for long time and overheard the
essons which were given his brother
n the same room. He knew the let
ers Of the alphabet, but nothing more.
When he was cOnvalescent his parents |
brought him book to look at the pic |
ures, and he relates in his account Of |
lis childhood that he remembers dis
inctly how he shocked his parents by
eading the text fiuently. His fright
med father snatched the book from !
lin and commanded that under no pre- /
ext should he be allowed to do any |
work.
The manner in which he learned ele.
nentary algebra and elementary geom-
try Is still more extraordinary. We
eproduce his own account:
"At the age Of nine / had the great
misfortune to lose my father, who dur.

Dase's Marvellous Mental Work.
When scarcely three years old Gauss
according to an anecdote told by him
self, followed mentally a calculation
OF his fathers relative In regard to tht

to be paid for overtime in proportion t
their regular wages, and, detecting q
mistake in the account, he called out

ed. He retained an extraordinary
ability for mental calculations through
ont life and remembered the first few
decimals of the logarithmS of all num-
berS, so that he was able to use the
data of logarithmie table in his men
tai calculations, and hence he possess
ed a mental slide rule--a unique pos
session.
Gauss was not only one Of the great
est mental ealculators on record. but
he excelled equally in all branches OF
pure and applied mathematics. At the
age of twenty he discovered the first
rigorous proof of the fundamental
theorem of algebra, which atiirms that
every algebraic equation has as many
roots as its degree. and at the age of
twenty-four he published his great
work on the theory of numbers under
the title "Disquisitiones Arithmeticae.
Later In life he turned his attention
principally to applied mathematics, es-
pecially to astronomy and geodesy,
and he is generally regarded as the
last of the great mathematieians who
We're pre-eminent In nearly all branches
of mathematical knowledge of his day.
While Gauss was both great men
tai calculator and a great mathemati-
clan and was real mathematical prod
igy, we proceed to consider several !
who were merely arithmetical prodi-
gies and seemed to have very little !
general mathematical ability. The
greatest of these is Dase, who was

YOUNG KINGS POLICY
Is MOST DANGEROUS

Iisoon, Feb 2S.-Whether or not
a republic is soon to supplant the
monarchy in Portugal. it is practical
ly the unanimous opinion here that
the near future will witness violent
political struggle in which the life of
the monarchy may be the stake. The
comparative tranquility since the as
sassinations is simply a breathing
spell in which the forces of the mon
archy on the one hand and popular
government on the other are being
marshaled for the fray.
Since the assassinations Of King
Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz. the
Republicans have been Joined by the
dissident progressists, and they in
tend to make their campaign for a
change of regime openly in the com
ing electoral contest. The exposure
of political corruptions, the manner
in which an army of clients was
maintained at the expense Of the pub
lie treasury and, above all, the Sc
cret advances made to the royal fam
lily, they assert, have destroyed for
ever the prestige of the monarchy.
Disinterested opinion. however
does not consider Portugal ripe for a
republic. 1t believes, in fact, that
the country under a popular regime
I'm the present backward state of the
masses, would become a prey Of the
ambitions of politicians and, like the
Central American republics, would be
without stability.
Under the present circumstances
the course of the young King Manuel
is most dangerous, as he has placed
the destnies of the throne in the
hands of the leaders of the two dis
credited old parties, men whose pasi
prevents them from meeting their ad-
versaries in the open field of politica
discussion, who the people will insist
