MARK TWAIN (1835 - 1910) (born Samuel Langhome Clemens) is one of the best - known American writers, recognized almost anywhere in the world.
He spent his childhood in a small town on the banks of the Mississippi River.
Later, in his books "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1884) Twain made the Mississippi a place of light, happiness and adventure, one of the most wonderful countries of the imagination, and a myth of everyone's childhood.
These two famous books were Twain's hymn to boyhood, in which he described boyhood's deepest wishes for fame, heroism, treasure, and admiration.
Samuel's schooling ended very early.
At the age of 11, after his father's death, he was apprenticed to a printer.
This occupation gave him a useful education.
The print shop was to Twain a college.
It was a world of the printed word which awakened his mind and a thirst for knowledge.
He picked up a lot of information when printing and learned to tell good writing from bad.
Mark Twain had changed many jobs before he became a writer.
He was a steamboat pilot, took up silver mining, prospected for gold in California gold fields, tried speculation in timber and land, and finally became a journalist, the author of humorous stories, the most famous being "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County".
Then he went on tours to Hawaii, Europe, and the Middle East as a correspondent.
Later his adventures served as the subject of several books.
On his return he became a successful humorous lecturer.
Twain felt a call for humorous literature.
But with years, his humour changed.
Once light and amusing, it later became sharp and bitter.
He often showed people as 'a museum of diseases' and attacked society with all its wrong.
Twain's story "How I Edited an Agricultural Paper" was published in 1870.

NATIONAL TOM SAWYER DAYS
What do Tom Sawyer and jumping frogs have in common?
Stories about both of them were
created by one man : Mark Twain.
Born Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain was his pen name), Twain
was 4 when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi.
Twain grew up there and was fascinated with life along the river - - the steamboats, the giant lumber
rafts, and the people who worked on them.
"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is one of Twain's best - loved short
stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels.
Both these works are
celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days every fourth of July.
The boy in the
photo entered his frog in the jumping contest.
There's also a fence - painting contest to see who can
paint the fastest.
The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has
been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in.
It's a beautiful day, and he would rather
be doing anything else.
As his friends walk by, he convinces them it's fun to paint, and they join in
the "fun.
" By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!
Although the story of Tom Sawyer is fiction, it's based on fact.
If you go to Hannibal, you'll
see the white fence, which still stands at Twain's boyhood home.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher.
He was a brilliant scientist
HIS EARLY YEARS
Galileo was born in 1564 in Pisa, Italy.
He was the first of six children of Vincenzo Galilei and Giulia Ammannati.
His father was a famous musican.
Galileo's early education was in a monastery.
From there, in 1581, he went to the University of Pisa, where he was a student of medicine and mathematics.
Then from 1592 to 1610 he went to the University of Padua.
He wasn't a student as this university – he was a professor of mathematics and astronomy.
Galileo was the father of three children – two daughters and a son – but he wasn't married to their mother.
HIS SCIENTIFIC LIFE
Galileo made excellent telescopes.
With the he could see moons going round the planet Jupiter and the planet Venus going round the sun.
At the time, there was the belief that the earth was the centre of the universe and the sun went round the earth.
However , by 1610 Galileo's theory was that the earth was not the centre of our universe.
Galileo said that the sun was the centre, and the earth moved round it.
HIS LAST YEARS

His ideas were dangerous because they were different from the ideas in the Bible.
Finally, in 1634 there was a trial.
Galileo was 70 and not in good health so he wasn't sent to prison, but he couldn't leave his house in Florence.
It was here that he died is 1642.
He was 78 years old and completely blind.
