MOMENTS OF INSPIRATION.
In Which Problems Hitherto Uneon-
ouerable Have Been Worked Out.

There seems 10 exist a tendency TO
ascribe inspiration TO a process which
is the result Of a preliminary effort
Many have noticed that after long q
fruitless mental effort the result Tor
which they have been striving comes
to them suddenly while they are think
ing of something entirely different. The
preliminary mental toll has borne It's
fruit subconsciously.
Poincare says that many Of his most
abstruse mathematical discoveries have
come 10 him In just this way. once.
after laboring on a difficult problem for
two weeks. the solution came 10 hin
spontaneously at night while be was
trying 10 sleep.
Another solution came 10 him while
he was entering an omnibus. his mind
being apparently quite free from az
thought OF mathematics. Again an i'm
nortant conclusion forced itself upon
him with what he terms "breyity. sud
denness and gertrude while be was
resting oil a seabeach after a period of
apparently futile c%ogitation.

Of Spontaneous Illumination. which
may he taken 70 be the sign Of long
snbconscious de,iberation. Experiences
Of this sort appear to be very ofnmoa
in the case Of mathematicians and with
other men whose work entails long pc
rlods Of mental concentration.

ligious inclination that destined him to
take Il high place in the church.
As a young MAJ he entered the moi
astery of Sion. and in time he became
abbot and later bishop of Myra. His
sanctity and learning made him shine
even in the most illustrious company,
and he was one of the most notable
figures at the gathering of 31s bishops,
who met at Nicca in 31S to condemn
the heresy of Arius.
While st. Nicholas became famous IN
the councils of the church. ii was sill
more as the Special friend Of the chill
