Boys ] tmgin i?ih ii. ii wTiTi n>" mm i i When, a few days ago, young William James Sidis, of Harvard, aged eleven^ lecturod to a select circle of math?' 'Viticlans on the fourth dimension werybody gasped open-mouths#"" ed. ^'Dld you over hear of anything like that?" and privately looked up what the fourth dimension waB. Taking this ejac-iatlon not as a more expression of a state of stupefaction, but literaly as a request for information the answer is that such a feat has very seldom, if. ev?r, been equaled. There is no doubt that the boy Sldis stands very near the top of the list of prodigies. For ho is not a mere mathematical prodigy, specimens of which occur In every century. Ills mind Is marvelously developed on every side, and that, is what does not often happen. The majority of children who are gifted with extraordinary precocity run to mathematics. And It Is noticeable that even If they are not confined to mathematics, they shine In thnt subject. Macauley is perhaps the only case <1 a precocious child who nad 110 gift for figures, and he went so fnr as to fall In his examina-1 nuns un mac account. Curiously enough, Sidis, although he is at present more remarkable in mathematics than in any other subjects, was backward in it for a number of years, although "backward," in connection with this wonderful boy, is meant only lliat he must have been all of seven or eight before h< had got up to the point most men attain just before leaving college. So he stands not with the class of rhild HifA ^ ~11 i* ? v?v4?^,i^a line ?iUIUU V/U I UU I'll , who early mastered mathematics and never ranked hlghev than an intereating fj-eak of natnre, but with that limited group of wonder children to whom by some strange law scholarly genius flowers in babyhood ? men like Pascal, Sit- William Rowan, Hamilton, Ampere, Gauss, and Macaulev. The list does not take lonp: to tell. Natlirn t? lint oftnil n nmn.l o? erous as that which must fill her when she sends those creatures from another world to let us have a glimpse of how things may he if we are good and are allowed to go to a higher planet before we die. Blaise Pascal is, of course, the bright and shining example of a marvelous boy. Like Sidis, an only son, educated by his talented father, he was purposely kept from developing the evident bent of Ills mind toward mathematics and turned as far as possible to languages and literature, lie made remarkable progress, but figures continued to interest him more than declenr' ins. He 'oW for a definition of geometry, is told that it consisted of rl' lines and defining their . re) ?iio another. lie got a ?..k nnd descended to the cel^',ar, Where lm worked in secret for a long time. One day, when the boy was twelve years old, his father went to the cellar and found hl,m deep in chalk circles and triangles, and what not. He showed, when questioned, that he had evolved for himself the whole theory of geometry and had worked out its principles as far as the thirty-third proposition o? Euclid. He was at that moment seeking to prove that the sum of the angles of a tri angle equaled two right angles. All this, with absolutely no help of any kind, and ho little knowledge of the vocabulary of mathematics that he called circles "rounds" and lines "bars." Not even Sldis* lecture on the fourth dimension can equal this working out by a child of twelve o? the theory of mathematics as the world's greatest minds had painstakingly put it together with centuries of offrirt At the age of twelve, too', tho young Pascal wrote a treatise on acoustics, suggested by the fact that when a pewter dish was struck with a knifo the resulting sound could he stopped by pressing tho finger against, the dish. A little later he made elaborate calculating machines. At sixteen iie wrote a treatise on conic sections which Descartes declared the worv of a master. M*e, who left his name to tho C electricity, was another ins. At tho age of three he nt himself to count with the | "ODiea and had found out for a good many theories of ar.hmetic. At this age he became very ill and was for three days denied food. At the end of the fast he was given a biscuit, but instead of eating it he broke it up into pieces to count with, an operation ho considered raore interesting. -i everything with avidity.

' N ' HISTORY COMPARED! u. < ... .,! I 1 d Special Ability in Math- ; Having "Universal Genius," " - i written a paper which, according ttf I an authority of the clay, "made a new ! science of optics." 1 These three men f-epresent tho high ' water /nark of child genius, unless I young Sidis Is to rank with them. I They were Klfted not in nnv rmt> ?mii ject to the exclusion of others, but in i every domain of thought they chot.e i to enter. And their genius die', not 1 die with maturity. They went on from good to better and made each i his Indelible mark on the world's his- i tory. * i In the same class, though less fa- i mous, was the late Professor of As- < tronomy at Williams College, Tru- ] man Henry Stafford, who died in 1901. He had an extraordinary uift for mental calculation, which first ! showed itself at the age of three years. At seven he was studying al- I gebra and geometry, and at eight i higher mathematics and astronomy. Wanting logarithms he found them i for himself at this r.ge by a theory of his own. < At ten he computed almanacs and ' a year after brought out an almanac >f his own, which had a large sale, ' and in which the calculations in re- '' ard to the moon were made by a ' new and labor-saving device. At ten ' ho squared in his head the neat sum ' of 365, 3 65, 365, 365, 365, 365 in ' urn. more man one minute. But he 1 was not only mathematical. He was ' interested in history, the natural ' sciences and philosophy. He took his 1 Harvard degree at the age of eigh- ' teen and spscialized on astronomy, : which he taught for many years. Carl Frederich Gauss, the famous ' German mathematician, when he was 1 tlir<*< years old, overheard his father making a calculation in regard to the ' wages of some workmen. Young ' Carl suddenly looked up and called 5 his father's attention to the fact that ' he had made an error in his figures 1 in one place. This loy entered the 1 gymnasium at the age of "teven and ' mastered all studios with the greatest rapidity, so that at fourteen ho was thoroughly well informed in litera- ' ture, science and philosophy. His ! mathematical faculty increased rather than diminished withyears, and much ' of mo;l< i n mathematical science is ] due to his labor. .. George Parker Biddle, another eel- . ehrated hoy mathematician, was taught, when six years ojd, to count up to 100. This was all the teaching in mathematics he ever received, hut lour year later he had evolved :i system tc tai< the place of logarithms. He did not how any remarkable aptitude for ther studies, but ranked well and Ik came an excellent engineer, with his mathematical faculty unimpaired throughout life. Zorah Collmrn, the Vermont farmer hoy who .startled the world a hundred years ago, lost his strange faculty in later life, and though he had a fair education and did well enough ho never distinguished himself in any way after rc aching maturity. He made extraordinary calculations at six, and at sevc n he had raised, in his head, the number eight to the six- ' teenth power For the benefit, nf ' those who do not care to figure for half an hour tlx answer to this little sum is 281, 17!, '.>75, 710, G56. He was considered a backward child be- 1 fore his unusual was discovered, but he was not, apparently, deficient in other ways. The trouble had been , only that be had been secretly devct- , ing himself to reasoning out mathematical problems, and had not given thought to other matters. He stands lliirh nninnnr ..n M(Mvuciaiaii" | cal prodigies puro and simple, oven though he falls below the s andard of several others. These wonders at figures are not infrequently of the type of Jedediah Buxton, a worthy Eng- , llshman born some 200 years ago ( with a remarkable mathematical sense. He devoted himself from the ( age of twelve-to keeping in his head ( an Itemized account ot' all the free beer ever given him, and found this edifying occupation so absorbing that ho never had mind to attend to minor 1 matters of a scientific nature. 1 Tltomas Babington Macaulay should < perhaps have boon ranked with the ( universal geniuses, but it is true that ' iiis precocious Rift was largely in the ' direction of literature, lie read in- ' cessantly from the age of three. At seven lie had composed i very fair compendium of universal history from , the creation to tlie year 1800. At ] eight he had written a treatise des- , tined to convert the natives of Mala- r bar to Christianity. As a recreation ( from this weighty work he wrote in f the safne year a romance in the style f of Scott iu three cantos entitled "The Hattle of Cheviot." A little later camp a long poem on j the history of Olaf Magnus ami a vast ^ pile of blank verse entitled "nilgai, a j Poem in Twelve Books." nut ho dis- x liked mathematics, and did not pass ^ his examination in that subject?thus j standing out among all chili! prodigies. His memory was such that he literally never could forget anything, and after twenty years could repeat ( bits of poetry read only once. Horace Greeley WQuld undoubtedly n liavo been numbered among those prodigies if he had been born in a f different environment. Before be g was three years old, and before he . could speak plainly, he had learned 1 to read, and would have acquired a Macaulayliko fund of information at an early ago if the information had been there to acquire. But unfortu- ' nately one cannot bo a prodigy of " learning without something to learn, | and Greeley choso hia birthplace In[iiscreetly ho far ns making a reputation along those lines is concerned. 8 \ universal genius can conio only 1 from a cultured family.

At five he played n public; at six he toured Europe, jetted at every court. At seven he played the harpsichord, the organ, ho violin, and had published two sets jf sonatas. At ten he had written an oratorio uuL lied played at Haarlem rm the < tlirfi larg?3t organ in the world. At j 'otiJlteen ho heard the Miserere in the Sistino Chapel at Rome, and going home transcribed every note of -it. * S l'h'is feat created a great sensation, for it was forbidden by severe penal- J tics to take down a note of the music I as it was being sung In the chapel, and any mortal less a wonder than Mozart would have been accused of breaking the law. 1 la'ndel, too, was by way of being a child prodigy. He taught himself music on an old harpsichord In the attic, for his father wanted him to be a doctor and would not encourage the child's evident inclination for another profession. He was discovered playng a great organ one day when his father and he were at the court of | 3axo XVefssenfels, and the Duke ' forced the unmusical old gentleman to promise not to thwart his son's ge- ? i ?l tliUS. ni But of all stories the most touch- J' iiik i? iiiai ioiu uy oir junii i2ivuiyn m i i?i his diary when ho records in his IJ luaint, dignified stylo the death of | > liis wondi i nil little boy. j .3 "Died my deare son Richard, to I mr inexpressible griefe and affliction, j j yeares and three days onely, but at | that teiuh r ago a prodigy for witt and J learning. ?
