. ' '' i BEEREsE All Except Macaulay Show eMics~Mances o! Boys 1 ^"1 ' " - 1 ! I I When, a few days ago, young William James Sidis, of Harvard, aged eleven,(lectured to a select circle of matli^' Vticlans on the fourth dimension i/jerybody gasped open-mouth>> "* ed. ^'Dld you ovor hear of anything like that?" and privately looked up what the fourth dlmpnalnn \tffiH lng this ejaculation not ah a more expresBion of a state of stupefaction, but llteraly as a request for Information the answer Is that such a feat has very seldom, If. evdr, been equaled. There Is no doubt that, the boy Bidls stands very near the top * of the list of prodigies. For he is not a mere mathematical prodigy, specimens of which occur In every contury. Ills mind Is marvelously develppecl 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 no gift for figures, and he went so far as to fall in his examinations on that account. Curiously enough, Sldis, although he Is at present more remarkable In mathematics than In any other subjects, was back- j ward in it for a number of years, althnllfll "honlrtwof/1 >? * ? * xt -- vuvnnuiu, 111 tUlIllCCllUll with this wonderful boy, is meant only that ho must have been all of seven or eight before lu had got up to the point most men attain just before leaving college. So ho stands not with the class of child prodigies like Zerah Colburn. who early mastered mathematics and never ranked higher*" than an interesting freak of nature, but with that limited group of wonder children to whom by some strange law scholarly genius flowers in babyhood ? men lllfD Pntonl ?!..

Nature Is not often In a mood as generous 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. lllaise 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 his mind toward mathematics and turned as far as possible to languages and literature. He made remarkable progress, but figures continued to interest him more than declenr'ins. lie for a definition of geometry, \s told that it consisted of d' lines and defining their . ill O nnotliof Tin ,^.k and descended to the cel. v>here h<? worked in secret for a long time. One day, when the hoy was twelve years old, his father went to the cellar and found hijn 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 i tlinf thft 4 1 ~ 4 ' ...v nuiji ui iiic uiigms ol u triangle equaled two right angles. All this, with absolutely 110 help of any kind, and bo little knowledge of the vocabulary of mathematics 1 that ho called circles "rounds" and lines "bars." Not even Sidls' lecture on the fourth dimension can equal this working out by a child of twelvo of the theory of mathematics as the 1 world's greatest minds had painstak- 1 ingly put it togothcr with centuries of > effort. 1 At the age of twelvo, too, (he < young Pascal wrote a treatise 011 I acoustics, suggested by the fact that when a pewtor dish was struck with < a knife the resulting sound could lie j stopped by pressing the finger ngainst 1 the dish. A little later ho made elab- 1 orate calculating machines. At six- < teen ho wrote a treatise on conic see- | tions which Descartes declared tlie 1 wor1' of a master. >re, who left his name to the ] f electrtfit V. wiis (lnnthoi ins.

These three men Represent the high water mark of child genius, unless young Sidis is to rank with them. They were gifted not in any one subject to the exclusion of others, but in every domain of thought they chose to enter. And their genius die', not die with maturity. They went on from good to better and made each his indelible mark on the world's history. t In the same class, though less fr. u.uuo, >v?? me iaie troiessor ot Astronomy nt Williams College, Truman Henry Stafford, who (lied in 1901. He had an extraordinary gift for mental calculation, which flr3t showed itself at the age of three years. At seven lie was studying algebra and geometry, and at eight higher mathematics and astronomy. Wanting logarithms he found them for liimself at this age by a theory of his own. At ten he computed almanacs and a year after brousrht out nn nima?o? of his own, which had a large sale, and in which the calculations in regard to the moon were made by a new and labor-saving device. At ten ho squared in his head the neat sum of HGsi. 3 65, 365, 365, 3Go, 365 in not more than one minute. But he was not only mathematical. He was interested in history, the natural sciences and philosophy. He took his Harvard degree at the age of eighteen and specialized on astronomy, which he taught for many years. Carl Froderich Gauss, the famous German mathematician, when he was tln<< years old, overheard his father making a calculation in regard to the wages of some workmen. Young Car) suddenly looked up and called his father's attention to the fact that he had made an error in his figures in one place. This boy entered the gymnasium at the age of eleven and mastered all studies with the greatest rapidity, so that at fourteen he was thoroughly well informed in literature, science and nhilosonhv nio mathematical faculty increased rather than diminished with years, and much of nio.h rn mathematical science is clue to his labor. , George i'arker 13icldle, another celebrated boy mathematician. was taught, wh< n six years ojd, to count up to 100. This was all the teaching in mathematics ho ever received, but four year, later he had evolved a system to tai<i; the place of logarithms. Ho rl i/1 * :ui;n auj rc 111 <irK(io 10 aptitude for other studies, but ranked well and became an excellent engineer, with his mathematical faculty unimpaired throughout life. Zerah Colhurn, the Vermont farmer hoy who .startled the world a hundred years ngo, lost his strange faculty in iater life, and though he had a fair education and did well enough lie never distinguished himself in any way after reaching maturity. He made extraordinary calculations at six, and at sevi n lie had raised, in his head, tlie number eight to the sixteenth rower Pni> . w. cue UCU^Ill CJl those who do not rare to figure for half an hour th< answer to this little sum is 281, 471, !>7.r?, 710, G5G. He was considered a backward child before his unusual :-;ift was discovered, but he was not, apparently, deficient In other ways. The trouble had been Duly that he had been secretly devoting himself to reasoning out mathemntlfnl lll-nlilnn.- > - * ?4v?*t? i#iv/uiciua, ?111(i iiuu not given thought to other matters. He stands high among mathematical prodigies pure and simple, even though he falls heiow the standard of several others. Th< . o wonders at figures are not infrequently of the typo )f Jcdediah Buxton, a worthy Englishman born some 200 years ago with a remarkable mathematical sense. II<; devoted himself from the !ige of twelve -to keeping in his head in itemized account of all the free Iioer ever given him, and found llil? difying occupation so absorbing that te never had mind to attend to minor matters of a scientific nature. Tito mas Rabington Maoatilay should perhaps have been ranked with the universal geniuses, but i! is true that tis precocious gift was largely in the lirection of literature, lie read injessantly from the age of three. At jeven he had composed a very fair ompendium of universal history from he creation to the year 1800. At >ight ho had written a treatise desined to convert tiiu natives of Mala>ar to Christianity. As a recreation ntihni.1 wuik nc wrote in he sahie year a romance In the style >f Scott in three cantos entitled "The tattle of Cheviot." A little later came a long poem on he history of Olaf Magnus and a vast >lle of blank verse entitled "Fingal, a ^oem in Twelve Rooks." Rut he disiked mathematics, and did not pass ?is examination in that subject?thus umiuiiiH out among all child prodigies. His memory was such that he liernlly never could forget anything, ind after twenty years could repeat >its of poetry read only once. Horace Greeley wquld undoubtedly lave been numbered among ^ those trodigies if he had been born in a lifferent environment. Before he j vas three yearn old, and before he ould speak plainly, ho had learned o read, and would have n I facaulayllko fund of information nt ,n early ago if the information had ieen there to acquire. But unfortulately one cannot ho a prodigy of earning without something to learn, ,nd Greeley choso his birthplace iniscreetly so far ns making a reputlalon along those lines is concerned. l universal genius can come only rom a cultured fnmily. A mathematical wonder may spring up anywhere, but mathematics was not th<) trongest point of the budding lour nlic-t Greeley. \ Mozart Is classed high among wonerg, though ho was prococlcus only i regard to music. He began to take 3*jona at three. At four ho com ** . > / posed and wrote a part of a concerto so difficult, his father said, that no one could play It. At five ho played In public; at six he toured Europe, petted at every court. At seven lie played the harpsichord, the organ, the violin, and had published two sets ui SUIlilUlM. , At ten he had written an oratorio Juicj, iiyd played at Haarlem tlio th?r?i largest organ in the world. At fourteen lio heard the Miserere in tlie Sistine Chapel at Rome, and going home transcribed every note of -It. This feat created a great sensation, for it was forbidden by severe penaltics to take down a note of the music as it was being sung in the chapel, and any mortal less a wonder than Mozart would have been accused of breaking the law. Ha'ndel, too, was by way of being a child prodigy. lie taught himself music on an old harpsichord in the attic, for his father wanted him to bo a doctor and would not encourage the chilli'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 Saxe Wefssenfels, and the Duke forced the unmusical old gentleman to promise not to thwart his son's genius. But of all stories the most touchlug is I h?i told by Sir John Evelyn in his diary when he records in his quaint, dignified stylo the death of ' his wondi rful little boy. "Died my deare son Richard, to I our inexpressible griefe and nflliction, j 5 yeares and three days onely, but at j that tender age ?i prodigy for witt and ! learning. * * * To give only a | little taste of them, and thereby glory to God, sen- of God. * * * at ! two and a halfe old he eould perfectly reade any of ye English Latino or French or Gothic letters, pronouncing the lirst three ip.:iguages exactly.
