THE BOY PRODIGY

The ten-year-old boy, William Sidis,
who has been allowed to enter Har-
ward, is familiar with several Ian
guages, but has attracted most atten-
ton as mathematician, says the
Nashville Banner. Upon enrolment
he took the most advanced course in
mathematics given at Harvard, and on
January he delivered a lecture in
Cambridge before the Harvard Math.
cmatical Club In which he formulated
new conception of the puzzing theory
that besides the three dimensions Of
height, length and width there is an
other called the fourth dimension. The
boys explanation Of this proposition
will interest some of our readers,
whether it be entirely perspicuous or
or not. 1t is as follows:
1.-THE fourth-dimensional space is a
Euclidean space with one more dimen-
sion added TO it. II is formed by di-
rect perpendicular to the third dimen-
sional space. In reasoning. in this
space we take the aXioms Of plane and
solid geometry as evidence The fourth
dimensional solid is called config-
uration. Any sort of third-dincnsion-
al space may be the boundaries Of the
ourth-dimensional space. In the
fourth dimensional space we use the
cube and polygons of the third-dimen-
sional space as faces, and with these
construct the figure of the focrth di-
mension.
"These figures cannot be grasped by
our minds, but can be reduced to a
geometrical formula and can be con-
structed by the aid of geometry and
algebra. 1t is possible to construct by
this means figures of the fourth dimen-
sion with one hundred sides or faces,
called observation-disclosures, or figures
with six hundred sides called heXacos-
ahedrons. Often there are gaps left in
the fourth-dimensional spaces, and |
fill these up by slipping in pHlyhedrons
of the appropriate shape.
81 attach great value in the working
out of my theories to the help given by
the polyhedral angles of the dodecahe-
dronS.n

.LAUDs LEES GREATNESS
Gov. Patterson Delivers Address at
Annual Banquet of Tennessee
Society of New York City

New York, Jan. 24.-At the annual
banquet of the Tennessee society of
New York, Gov. Patterson, OF Tonnes
see, touching in his address on the
movement to place statue of Robt r.
Lee in the statuary hall of the capitol,
said the north owed Lee as much as
the south and the south owed Grant as
much as the north.
''The name of Grant, " he said, "needs
no perpetuation in marble nor can it
be confined by boundaries, for Grant
had magnanimity and courage and
those are qualities which can not be
bounded by imaginary lines.
awe believe also that the name and
fame of Lee is high above the foam of
passion, as the lighthouse is above the
waves, which, harmless, beat on the
rock. That smallness grows smaller
as it approaches to assault, that a place
in Statuary hall can not add one cubit
to his greatness, for there is not king
who reposes In the abbey, or a man
who ever lived, whose patience was
more sublime, whose virtues were more
resplendent. Duty was his guiding
star, honor was his shield, and justice
was his sword. He saw the sun Of the
Codfederacy rise in sky Of glory and
shine awhile through the dust and
smoke Of war, and in his great soul
there was no exultation. He saw the
sun go down, never TO rise again, and
his serenity was undisturbed. He pass
ed through life without a stain, and
died as only the. pure in heart can die
He belonged TO the north as we'll as to
the south, for he. was the ideal gentle
man and there is joint ownership wher-
ever his type is found. The name of
Robert f. Lee can never perish. It
will live when Statuary hall is dust.u
Secretary of War, Dickinson was a
guest.

WEsT-W|ND IS LIFE GIVING
Bot There is Death IN East Wind,
Says Prof. Willis Moore, of the
u. S. Weather Bureau.

Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, in an interview told
the World correspondent at is well
known to moterologists that easterly
winds either hug closely to the earth
or have an upward component of mo-
ton. They, therefore, gather the hui
Nudity, dust, disease and other bacteria
and as a rule they are warm and humid.
All of these conditions make them foul
winds, under which animal life is en-
erVated and rendered susceptible to the
germs which the winds themselves
carry and disseminate.
"The converse is true of the north
west winds. They come from above,
with downward component of motion
that bears a definite relation to the We
locity. They come from the region
where the air is dry, pure and highly
electrified and where ozone exists in
comparatively large quantities. The
cool, pure air of the northwest wind is
therefore an invigorating air. 1t stim-
ulates man and all other animal life.
1t brings physical energy and mental
buoyancy in its mighty breath.
~ have not the data before me, but
am morally certain that if the NOR
tality statistics of the various hospitals
were studied it would be found that
more people die under the influence of
the east than of the west winds.
" AS the greater number of storms of
northern hemisphere originate on the
American continent, we have greater
atmospheric activity and the north
west winds greater force.
"This may have marked effect as
one OF the important environments that
have to do with the character of the
race that is now coming to be know n
as American He has fertility of
thought and energy of body. May it
not be that the climate has much to do
with the developing of the indomitable
spirit that is now reaching out for the
mastery of the earth ?"

'ENO OF WOOD SUPPLY

Privately-Owned Forests.

]. Horace MacFarland, president of
the American Civic Federation, made
a plea for state legislation to promote

ests before the conference on uniform
state legislation.
"Using every day three times as
much as we grow and wasting as much
as we use, we can see the end of wood
in the United States" declared Mr..
Mcfarland.
Four-ffths of the timber standing
in the United States is privately own
ed and ali is being cut destructively.
The remaining one-fifth is in govern
ment possession. and if it were cut clean
there would only be enough left to last
the United States ten years at the pres

SENT TO PEN FOR 8 YEARS

Slag1e, Near Newport.

John Cash, charged with completely
in the murder of A. ]. Slagle, of Jones'
boro, last fall, was arraigned in circuit
court at Newport last Thursday and
was sentenced to three years in the
state penitentiary. 1t is said Cash will
accept this sentence, and may be taken
to the prison within the next few days.
1t will be remembered that the dead
body of A. j. Slagle was found in the
French Broad river near Newport, and
was taken to JonesDoro. While it lay
in state, Hayden Spencer disappeared
from room in which he was sleeping,
and the following morning he was
found dead with his head in rain bar
rel. 1t has been thought Spencer COM
mitted suicide, as a result of alleged
probably connection with SIagle's
death.
Investigation by officers led to the
belief that Spencer had something to
do with Slagle'S death, and that John
Cash was also implicated. Cash was
arrested, but he claimed innocence of
connection with the murder.
The affair created a wide sensation
throughout East Tennessee on account
of the prominence ofSlagle and Spencer.
