SIR ISAAC NEWTON

                Sir Isaac Newton was born on the 25^th of December, 1642 in Lincolnshire. While in school he did not do well, but possessed greater talents in drawing and mechanical inventions. Fortunately one of his uncles saw his talents and made the way for him to enter Trinity College. There he graduated in mathematics in 1669. He worked closely with his professor Isaac Barrow who gave him every help to improve his talents. Later Isaac Newton succeeded his professor and became professor of mathematics at Trinity at the age of twenty seven.

THE CEYLON ELEPHANT

The elephant is the king of the Ceylon jungle. No other animal dares to challenge his kingship. In their wild state, elephant live in small herds, about twenty-five in each. A full-grown male is usually the leader of the herd. Such a leader, in all his majesty and dignity, roams the jungle with his followers. Some elephants have tusks from which we obtain ivory; but “tuskers” are now rare in Ceylon.
