His peculiar talents attracted general attention, and ever found it a much more prof employment to carry his son the country and exhibit him as calculating phenomenon" than follhis trade. In this way young visited many parts of England, being the different people who question him by the wonder- dity with which he was able, without external aid of any notion, the most difficult ques- tion of these the following are a few most extraordinary examples: a spring two feet and three inches hop, how many hops take to go around the world, conference being 25,020 miles, long would it be performing money, allowing it to take sixty every minute without intermis- answer, 58,713,600 hops and 14 days, 13 hours and 20 min- following question was solved in forty seconds: Suppose the top of St. Paul's cathedral six feet in diameter, what did cost at 3½ pence per square answer, £237 10s. 1d. following in one minute and seconds: Suppose a city to be ll- 3135 SUMMONS In the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California.

Tel Main 97 Los Angeles St., Anaheim solve most difficult questions by the mere operation of his mind. Many persons of the first eminence for their knowledge in mathematics made a point of seeing and conversing with him, and they proposed to him a great variety of questions to test his marvelous powers. Among them were the following: Give the square root of 999,999. After hesitating a little he replied 999,999,-000,001 and observed that he produced this result by multiplying the square of 37,037 by the square of 27. He was then asked to multiply the answer twice by 49 and once by 25, a task which he accomplished successfully, though the answer consists of seventeen figures. Name the cube root of 413,993,348,-677. To this he gave the correct answer in five seconds. How many times would a coach wheel twelve feet in circumference turn around in 256 miles, and how many minutes in forty-eight years? To the first he replied in two seconds 112,040, and to the second, before the question could be written down, 25,228,800. What are the factors of 247,483? To this he replied 941 and 263, which are the only factors—London Globe. Oddly Expressed. In one of his letters William Brookfield tells how as school inspector he had to give an examination on physical science. "What was I to do? I knew nothing about hydrogen or oxygen or any other 'gen.' So I set them a paper which I called 'applied science.' One of my questions was, 'What would you do to cure a cold in the head?'

A young lady answered, 'I should put my feet into hot water till you were in a profuse perspiration.'" Pear Blight The extermination of pear blight in the orchards of northern California has commenced, with Sacramento as the center of operation. Co-operating with county horticultural commissioners, with the State authorities and with the officials and workers from the university experimental station, a corps of experts from the department of agriculture will go from one locality to another, stamping out the pest that has wrought immense damage to fruit crops during the past few seasons. Prof. W. M. Scott arrived from Washington recently, making his headquarters in Sacramento. He is assisted by C. L. Shear, W. W. Gilbert, Dean Swingle and Pearley Spaulding. who arrived Friday, and by George Cutter, Sacramento county horticultural commissioner. Near Sacramento seven workers from the experimental station are working in an orchard and smaller forces are working in other parts of the state. Prof. Waite and an assistant from Washington are expected to return to this state in a few days and resume operations. SAWING WOOD LUMBER All and see us. We'll save you money. GRIFFITH LUMBER CO.
