Feats of Berlin Prodigy, All that has been recorded of marvellous memories of Napo leon, who was reputed to know the position of every gun in his empire; of Lord Macaulay and Lord Randolph Churchill," who were said to be able to repeat; a page of print after a single reading becomes insignificant by contrast with the mnemonic gift of one of the staff of the Prussian State Library, whose existence and attainments have just boen discovered by the Press of Berlin, says the Daily Telegraph. Being German, he has given a specialist turn to his prodigious powers, and it is declared that he can remember all the essential facts, including the official thermome- trio and barometric readings, for every day in overy year since 1918.

A test was arranged ;; the rememberer attended before a committee of the society, and was asked to describe the weather of a certain week chosen random from the archives. He at once recited without. pause or mistake the facts about the weather on each day, in the selected week..
