In September, 10-year.old W. J. Sidis
OF Brooklire, Mass, passed bis en-
trance examinations for The Tech, -
Boston S highest.grade scientific col
legee, where the average age Of 6rst-year
students is 2l.
Three months earlier, Maurice No
riarity sailed from New York for Ire
land for his first vacation in fifty.four
years. He was an employee OF the
Cheney mills at Manchester, Conn. and
I, had worked week days and Sundays
for over thirty years, and six days out
OF every seven for the balance Of his
time.
And in this matter of years yet three
other happenings of the twelvemonth
demand notice. Glasgow, Scotland, has
produced n family OF FIVE whose com
bined ages aggregate 3S4; Altendorf,
Hungary, has witnessed q marriage be-
tween a husband of l20 and wife of
l02, and Chikuga, Japan, has located
the oldest man in the world within her
picturesque limits-Mr Kosaburo Futi-
matsu is III, by well authenticated rec
ords. Up TO the day of this discovery,
Ondrieff Schmidt, son of a German once
resident in Wilma, Russia, had been
held the veteran of living venerables,
with 1856 years TO his credit. When he
heard he had fallen to second place he
walked over TO Warsaw, Just 10 show
he was not incapacitated by the news.
The distance between the cities is some
250 miles.
