to the distribution on the basis of
past output was not because OF a
complaint that the company had
furnished certain mines coal cars
the year around and Disseminated
against others. He said he had
heard Of such objection. Mr. Ba-
ker, OF Central City, a miner, asked
Mr.. Fletcher If the Central City
coal mine and the Graham mine, of
Muhlenberg county, were not run
ming full time while other mines of
the same companies are idle. He
said this is so, but the railroad
company has contracts with those
mines to take their output for it's
own use, and it is the practice to
get its own coal.
GOy.-EIect Cox Talks.
Washington, Dec. Gov elect
James NJ. Cox, OF Ohio, said to-day
in response to a question about how
he as Governor would handle sit
uation like that prevailing among
the miners at McHenry, Kentucky:
why would cancel the rail
roads charter"
He added that the laws OF Ohio
gave him power thus summary to
punish a railroad that refuses to
supply enough cars to move the out
put Of mine and thus throw mi
ners upon the verge OF starvation.
Gov.-elect Cox is still a member
of Congress, but takes his seat as
Governor shortly. While here he
has been comforting with Represen-
tatives of all States which have pro-
gressive laws in an effort to intro
duce them into Ohio.

STRANGE FEATS WITH FIGURES

the Spot.
JUST A GENIUs-NOT EDUCATED

The report has reached here from
the Ceylon branch of the Royal AS
iatic Society at Colombo describing
the remarkable mathematical feats
before that body of a Tamil boy of
16, named Arumogan.
The youth knows little English
except the names of the numerals
and mathematical expressions. He
is abnormal not only in mind but in
body, for he has six fingers on each
hand and six toes on each foot.
Personally, he believes that his
mathematical genius is a gift OF the
god Subramana. He says that
when he was years old he was Ia
ken to the Karthigay festival at
Tiruparankundram, and that in the
night he dreamed that the god
came to him and wrote the word
mathematics" on his tongue, and
that in the morning he had IL fin
gers and IL toes instead of the nor
NAL number.
At the same time, he declares, he
found himself suddenly possessed
of great calculating powers. Among
the tests to which he was submit
ted by the Royal Asiatic Society, all
of which he responded to in five
seconds or less, we're the square
root of S53,776-the answer to
which is 924; the cube root of
274,625-65; the product of 976
and 79-77,1O4, and the product of
9S2,347 and 231. The answer to
the last, which Is 226,922,175. came
