WHEN EXTREMES MEET.
Absolute Concentration in One Direc.
ton Frequently Results in Absent
Mindedness In Another.

Absorption in their work is often
carried to such extremes as to make
men of genius strangely oblivious to
what is going on around them. Many
amusing stories are told illustrative
of this tendency to "absent-minded
ness" According to Sir David Brew
ster when Newton left a room to get
anything, he usually returned without
it.
The physicist Roueue was notorious
forming a laboratory experiment, he
said to his students:
You see, gentlemen, this caldron
over the flame? Well if were to
cease stirring it, an explosion would
at once occur that would make us all
jump"
As he spoke, he involuntarily ceased
stirring, and his prediction was full
filled. The explosion took place with
a frightful noise, every window in the
laboratory was broken. and Rouelle's
audience fled wildly outside.
1t is related of a gifted ecclesiastic,
Bishop Munster, that, returning home
| and finding his door placarded with the
announcement: THE master of the
| house is out" he calmly remained in
| front OF the door. awaiting his own
| return.
Buxton, the mathematical prodigy,
during visit to London was taken
TO see Garrick in King Richard III"
| Afterward, being asked how he liked
the play, he said that he really did not
know what it had been about, as he
had heen too busy counting the words
