Pl'nl Figuring.


A blind mathematician of wonderful
powers is reported by the Hartford
Courant to be living in Danielsonville,
Conn. His name is Pardon Tillinghast
and he is entirely blind. Recently his
attention was called to some facts in
regard to the combination of figures
142, 857. If multiplied by two the pro-
duct is 285, 7l4-the same figure and in
s. the same order, only starting with an
other and changing the first two to the
extreme right, Multiplying by 3, 4 or
5a like result is Obtained that is, the
figures are the same and succeed each
other in similar way. This led to O
careful study of these figures and he
soon found that preceded by the deci-
NAL point they are the decimal equiva-
lent of II. He found, too, that this
is the repetend Of repeating decimal.
His thoughts were in this way turned
to the fraction Ii, and he performed
mentally the operation Of reducing its
square, LAG, to a repeating decimal,
having a repetend of AZ places-six
times as many as that of IL. Then he
took the cube of IT, equal to 1,343,
and performed the prodigious feat of
turning this into a repeating decimal
whose repetend has 294 figures, or six
times as many as that of 1-49. All this,
of course, without mark to aid the
calculation or the memory. 1t filled
leisure hours of number of days. He
would work the division ten places at
one operation, holding in memory the
result, including the remainder, for
hours or DAYS. till he could work the
next ten, and so till he had the entire
Tepetend. The necessity for frequent
psovings Of his work added to its COM
plicatlon. The mathematicians of those
parts doubt whether his mental effort
has ever been excelled, at any rate by
a blind man.
