despair at the stupidity of her only
son, Isaac. To the horror Of all the
neighbors the lad could not grasp the
first principles of farming. He neg
letted his work in the fields, failed to
show any interest in crops and was
forever sneaking off into corners to
read some book on science or me-
chanics, He had picked up. taste
for such matters at the Grantham
Grammar school, and they weaned
him away from all concern about his
mothers thriving farm He took to
deyising mechanical toys in off hours,
and even constructed a couple Of sun
dials. b. B.
Isaac actually wanted to be
scholar. A scholar, to the simple farm
folk, meant man in a tattered, rusty
gown, who was glad enough to eat
the crust of charity and who accom-
plished no good in life. Yet for such
a miserable career Isaac begged leave
to throw away an assured future as
a prosperous farmer And at last,
worn down by his pleadings, the moth
er consented. At IS, in 1860, Newton
went to Cambridge university. There
he promptly went mathematic-mad.
He discovered the binomial theorem
and worked out the processes since

raj Calculus" Before he reached the

matics at Trinity college.

short Of the mark in the effort to fly
from France to England, but yesterday
he proved his ability to put the aeroplane
to practical use in the keeping of social
engagements. Invited to hunting party
about nineteen miles from his aviation
garage, he loaded his gun and ammuni-
ton on his machine and flew to his desti-

five minutes.
