Lord Walsingham Is said to be
the best shot in England. Prob
ably he Is the only man in the
world who can, and does, shot
wasps on the wing, a feat which
requires marvellous eye and the
steadiest of hands. His lordshiI
holds the worlds record for an
unsurpassed grouse bag.
After shooting single handed
for 10 hours he once accounted
for 1910 grouse. His collection
OF moths and butterflies, the
largest and most important ever
made, was presented to the ma
ton, and is now housed in the
South Kensington museum.
His celebrated sporting proper
ty, Merton Hall, in Norfolk, is
supposed to have been the scene
of the immortal story of "The
Babes in the Wood" For many
years a stuffed robin was given to
every visitor to Merton in mem
DRY of the tradition, and a room
in the house is still called the
Babes Parlor.

IOSTON WOMAN HAS JOINED
TWENTY-THREE RELIGIONS

PARIS, Jan. 11.-Mrs. James
jackson, who was once Miss
of Boston, and her
friend, Mrs. Hatmaker, have just
adopted their 23rd religion.
A few days ago they were con-
Armed in Behaism, the new relig-
ion which is making such head
way in this city. Previous to this
the two women had embraced 20
religions, one after the other.
This new religion is a religion
Aof universal brotherhood and re-
Incarnation and had its inception
In Persia some SO years ago.
The head of the cult is a man
who Is claimed by his followers

when he spoke of another COM
forter" whom he would send to
the world.
Abdul Beha-that is the name
of the head of the religions the
son of the founder and lives on
the coast of Syria. AS he de.
seribes it, the religion seems t.
be a mixture of all other relig

"Trip Van Winkle," that quaint
old play which you remember sec
ing as a child and which your
fathers and grandfathers witness
ed, has returned to Tacoma, and
with 1t has come the spirit of old
Joseph Jefferson infused in the
mind and actions of his son,
Thomas Jefferson. There were
many who saw the play last night
that remarked that the sons work
was equally as well done as that
of the father.
Certainly there were none who
were disappointed with the pro-
duction. The company surround
ing Mr.. Jefferson is a capable one
in every respect.
The play will be repeated to-
night.

ulation is hung up in sight, and
the operator touches a key for
each fact to be enumerated. One
key says that the person is black,
another that the person is a fe-
male, a third that she is renter,
and so on until the keys tell the
whole story of the cook in the
kitchen or the bank president in
the parlor.
When the whole story of the
particular person has been told on
the keyboard, the operator pulls
a lever and by an electric device
the whole batch of holes is punch
ed in one motion, and the card is
dropped into a pile. But the ma
chine does even more. 1t corrects
mistakes. 1t will not tell a seem
ing untruth. II the keys are
pushed down in such a way as to
say that the person is a female
and is blacksmith, or is a male
midwife, the machine rings a
bell. That puts the operator on
notice. and the mistake has to be
remedied.
But the machine does still more.
While 1t is punching the cards II
Is counting and tabulating them,
too. There are dials which show
not only the total number punch
ed, but a dozen other sets of facts
desired In the early reports of the
census.
Thus, with these machines, the
count Will be ready as soon as the
cards are punched.
Hardly less remarkable is the
improved tabulator. This is a
machine which. like the Hollerith
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-01-11

machine, picks out and enumer-
ates any set of facts desired about
the population. But instead of
a row of dial faces which former
ly registered the totals, the new
machine prints the results on
ticker tape.
Z If, for instance, 1t were desired
to discover how many man MILL
ners there are in the United
States, who were born in this
country, are bachelors, are above
the age of 40, are landed proprie-
tors, white, and above five feet in
height, this machine would quick
ly go through the 80,0OO,OOO
understanding each person
presenting him or herself--and
with mechanical certainty report
the total printed ON the ticker
tape.
Until the Hollerith and Powers
machines were invented all this
work had to be done with pen and
paper and with the eyes. The re-
suit was that facts gathered for
census purposes were not classi-
fed or totaled for years after they
were collected. When the re-
suits were published they were
out of date. Now an electric nee
die passing through a hole in a
bit OF pasteboard, and completing
a circuit by dipping into a cup of
mercury, does the work of the
human eye. and wheels and lev
ers make the additions which for
merly had to be made in the
head.

ff PsRa 10 i ss MACHINE MARVEL f F&s H& vii
BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. IL
Thinking done by machinery is
what may now be seen in the Unit
ed States census office. A new
machine, even more wonderful
than the Hollerith tabulator, has
been invented by Jas. Powers, me-
chanical expert for the census, and
the methods of census work have
again been revolutiopized.
The Powers machine, one of
which is now in operation at the
census building, Is combined
punching, counting and tabulating
apparatus. 1t will do the work of
half a dozen people, and Director
North figures that with a full bat
terry of these machines the in
creased work of the coming GEN.
sus will be performed in less time
and with fewer people than was
the census of 1900.
In census work every fact
gathered in regard to the popula-
ton or business of the country is
translated into the language of
holes punched in cards. Remem-
Der this fact, and it is easy to
understand how the machines
work.
A hole in the upper left hand
corner, for instance, means that
the person is male; a hole in
the next square to the right would
signify female" The next hole
signifies that the person is a ma
tive born, the next that he is a
foreign born citizen; another
place, that he is above 20 years
OF age; another that he is mar
ried; another that he Is employ
ed, and SO on through the two
hundred and fifty-odd facts that
the population schedule" shows
about each of the S0,00O,0OO per-
sons whose noses are counted.
There are, then, 100000
cards. each punched in such a
manner as to give a complete de-
scription Tin the language of holes
in q card) of the person counted.
There is a card for you-the
reader of this paragraph you
were in the United States in 1900,
and there will be another for you
In the next census.
The big job. It will readily be
seen, Is to take the reports
brought in by the field workers
the enumerators-to take their
population schedules" as they
are called. and to translate them
into the punched cards. And this
Is the task for which the Powers
machine is devised.
Formerly the cards were all
punched by hand. For each hole
the clerk had TO raise and depress
z lever. The card had to be ad-
justed, and the force applied as
many times as there were holes.
The process was tedious and slow.
1t was also subject to many errors.
With the new machine the OPP

SCHLEY INSISTS
ON Being SHOWN
The Hero of Santiago, Somewhat of
an Arctic Explorer Himself, Calls
on Peary for More Proof.

Washington. Dec 24-Reaffirming
his complete confidence in DR.. Cook
Rear Admiral w s. Schley retired
yesterday called publicly upon Com
mander Peary TO submit his proofs
that he reached the North Pole to
some scientific body other than the
National Geographical Society. This
the admiral declares should be done
at once I'm the interest Of justice and
to establish beyond question the
claims of Peary.
The admiral belIves that the same
body which threw out and repudiated
Cooks data should be permitted to
pass upon the data submitted by
Peary 20 the Geographical Society.
THE Danes are the best posted
body Of men in the world on Arctic
matters" he said. The cOnsistory of
the University of Copenhagen should
be given the opportunity to examine
the Peary proofs. for in that way they
would be submitted to the same test
that was applied 10 those of Cook
Moreover. Admiral Schley belives
that the submission of the proofs to
Copenhagen should be insisted upon
by Peary. despite whatever the Nat
pVudi GtpS IdpilCdl SptlctA dlIiluut
may be.
Admiral Schley declined to say on
what grounds he took exception To the
finding of the scientists of the Uni
versity of Copenhagen that ,ook had
not been at the North Pole He mere
ly reaffrmed his belief in the eXplOr-
er. adding that he believed also that
Peary. too, had gained the top of the
earth
The Importance Of the admirals de-
mand is increased by the fact that he
has had wide experience in the far
north. In 1884 he was in command Of
the Thetis expedition which resulted
in the rescue of Lieut.. Greedy and six
men who had been cast away at Cape
Sabine. and whom the civilized world
had practically given mp for lost. For
his rescue Admiral Schley was
awarded a gold watch and a vote of
thanks by the Maryland legislature
and a medal of honor by the AIassa
chusetts Humane Society
Members of the National Geogra-
phic Society declined to discuss the
suggestion brought out by the naval
officer. The society is still smarting
under the somewhat curt reply made
by the University Of Copenhagen to
its request that a committee repre-
senting the society bee permitted ~ be
present when DR.. Cooks data was
examined.
