on THE Brightest Boy in the
World" This boy, Norbert Wiener,
was born in Columbia fourteen years
ago. He is the son of a Harvard pro-

THE interest on this sum was, Of
course, not regularly compounded,
and various other difficulties arose
in the stewardship so that in 1904, after
ia years, the principal given to Bos-
ton had only reached little more than
100000. At that time the managers
decided to use it in founding techni-
cal school suited to the instruction of
men already engaged in the various
trades. In the meantime Andrew Car
negie had offered sum equal to the
one in hand as an endowment fund.
The school is called the Franklin Union.
The building, which was completed this
year, is five story, fire-prOOfed build
ing and is situated near the district in
which are to be found large percent
of the men for whose benefit it Is
intended. The director in charge is
Mr.. Walter B. Russell a graduate of the
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology,
who was for time with the New York
Central Railroad. The institution is
expected to prove itself worthy of its
great founder.

The World Today.

The World Today for November has
an account of the carryingout of con-
ditions relating to bequest of BenJa-
min Franklin. In his will. he left 1000
pounds each to Boston and Philadel-
phia. The money was put under the
care of the pastors of the Oldest congre-
gational Episcopalian, and Presbyterian
churches of the city, and was to be
loaned out at five per cent interest to
worthy artisans. Franklin figured out
that at the end of One-hundred years
the amount would be l3l 900 pounds.
Of this, 100000 pounds was to be used
on some public work or works and the
remaining $1,000 go on as before. At
the end of another century, the city OF
Boston was to get LOCI 900 pounds and
the state of Massachusetts 100000
pounds.

opposed to water except as thirst

came to a voluntary bath was when
he went down TO the river and
watched the water flow by. Six
years ago he was taken sick and
placed in the hospital, where the
attendants are said to have been
compelled to use disinfectants and
chemicals to get him clean, and
that under violent protest, and no
one here has ever known him to
have had bath before or since.
