There was a Corsican boy who could re- hearse 40,000 words, whether sense or non- sense, as they were dictated, and then repeat them in the reversed order without makingoa single mistake. A physician, about cars ago, could repeat the whole of “ Para ise Lost," without making a mis- take, although he had not read it for 20 years. Euler, the great mathematician, when he became blind, could repeat the whole of Virgil’s “Eucid ” and could re- member the first line and the last line of every age of the particular edition which he had on accustomed to read before he became blind.

A gentleman, to test him, repeated a verse, ely making one verbal inaccuracy. 'ok hesitated, named the place where the passagewas to be found,but at the same time pointed out the verbal error. The same gentleman asked him torepeat the ninetieth verse of the seventh chapter of the Book of Numbers. Alick almost instantly replied, “There is no such a verse. That chapter has only 89 verses." Gassondi has aired by heart 6,000 Latin verses, and in 0 or to vo his memor exercise he was in the ba- t daily of reciting 600 verses from different hnsunsu AnOld fireball Ler A Wet sheet and a flowing sea, A wind that follows fast And fills the white and rustling sail And bends the ant mast.
