Medical faculties in London, New York and Berlin are outbidding one another for the possession of the head of a man who privately exhibited his mental powers at Claridge's Hotel,, London. He is 27 years old, a Hungarian named Olgo, son of a small farmer, and lie is able to work out involved calculations which experienced mathematicians find it difficult to perform on paper. Olgo is unable to explain the ability which he discovered when 'he was six years old. Psychologists have, since failed, to-find out the reason for the powers, hence- the doctors' eagerness to examine his skull. The draft of an agreement, which has has been drawn up, requires , Olgo to arrange for his skull to be preserved ana sent to the purchasers. ■
