JAP QUICK AT FIGURES.

Using an Abacus, He Beat Bank
Clerk with Adding Machine.
From the Tacoma Ledger
At meeting Of the Tacoma chapter
Of the American Institute OF Bank Clerks
the other night a japanese clerk. using a
''saroban." put it all over a Tacoma
bank clerk using a modern adding ma
chine IN casting up long column Of
figures.
The japanese with his "saroban." did
the erthmetieal stunt" in thirty seconds,
while the bank clerk, with his modern
adding machine, took ffty-four seconds
found the clerk or the modern adding
machine had made an error. while the
japanese with his little abacus or ''saro-
ban" obtained the correct result the first
time. In another test the Japanese might
make an error, as did the bank clerk.
However, It is significant that the Japan
correct result far more quickly, though
ne used an ancient arithmetical device.
The japanese that won the contest in
adding was once a clerk in a bank at
Osaka, Japan. He disclaims being an
expert in adding and says many Japan
ese are much faster on the ''saroban"
than he, The little old fashioned adding
machins used by the Japanese is what
we call an abacus. Years ago in our
public school rooms the abacus used to
hang on the wall, and II was sometimes
used in the study OF arithmetic. II is
not used much nowadays. though Il
would appear from the speed and ac-
ouracy Of the Japanese that It might be
employed with good results.
The abacus IN use in China is known
as the swan pan. The Chinese are also
rapid calculators. The abacus is a very
simple device when compared with the
modern adding machine. 1t Is probable
that It requires more practice and more
arithmetical ability to get correct results
from an abacus than are required with
the modern adding machine.
The abacus is very ancient. II was
used by the Egyptians and Greeks m
lOIu SlIIllldT 10 ludl HOW useU III JHpdu,
China, Arabia and Russia. The word IS
traced through the Greek to q word
meaning dust" II is said that dust was
spread upon board and that numerals
were inscribed In the dust.
IN early times the Greeks used such a
board, ana It is supposed that geometry
as well as arithmetic was taught with
the use OF that kind of an abacus Later
an abacus was developed in which beads
slid on wire or in grooves, the beads hav-
ing a value depending upon column.
This was probably like the abacus now
used in Japan and China. The word
calculate is traced 20 a Greek word
meaning pebble. II is supposed that
pebbles were used in the early abacus.
The victory Of the Tacoma Japanese
with his "saroban" over one OF our bank
clerks With a modern adding machine
Is not an exceptional instance. A few
months ago, when the Japanese CONNER
cial commissioners visited the United
States. a contest was held in which
japanese came out ahead in a calcu!a-
ton contest IN which he used an abacus

Always a most welcome weeks en-

and with new material added 20 It's make

THE BELASC0.
"RomeO and Juliet"


The Ben Greet Players opened the
week at the Belasco Theater last night
with Romeo and Juliet. giving a per
Torrance which showed by its smooth
ness the advantage derived from the ex-
perience OF the preliminary performance
Of last Friday.
The work OF Miss Violet Vivian as
Juliet heightened the fine impression
made at the matinee performance The
striking feature OF her enactment Is the
lack of artifcialitv. She showed the
girl. almost a child. spurred 10 the ex-
tremes Of emotion by intensity OF pris-
tine love. and as her personality, face,
and figure are all thoroughly in keeping
with the character as drawn. the result
is highly pleasing
Mr.. Dallas Anderson. who made his
initial appearance in the role Of Romeo
last Friday also added to the convincing
quality of his delineation. He gave dis
tinct evidence Of being more conversant
with the business and lines, and as he.
too, is entirely fitted to his part physi-
cally, there Is every reason to warrant
the prediction that he is destined TO
achieve reputation in this and similar
roles.
One Of the most versatile and intelli-
gent Of this company is Miss Ruth Wv
ian. who appears this week as Nurse, a
role which cuts no inconsiderable part in
the general action OF the drama. AS the
old crone. worldly wise at all times. and
deceitful when that characteristic serves
her purpose, she is very good, which ex-
preston Of even praise must be accorded
all of her portrayals.
The MercuitO Of J. Sayer Crauley.
which seems not so strong at first, wakes
I'm power as the action progresses. until
in the duel and death scene is distinctly
scores II is one Of the most remarkable
characters shown by Shakespeare. and
requires long study and repeated enact
ments. and Mr. Crauleys Interpretation
is quite good when viewed In the light Of
repertoire work The acting Of Ben
Greet as FrIar Lawrence is in the same
category. as. in fact. is that Of the whole
company. including Grace Halsey Mills.
as Lady Capulet Ethel Van der We're, as
Lady Montague; George Vivian. as Ben
volio: A Hyllen Allen. as Tybalt.
Charles Hopkins as Paris, and many
other roles of varying Importance in the
drama.
The idea in these performances seems
% be the elimination OF the star and
10 present the drama with even excel
lence as regards both the character por-
trayal and the action. OF course. some
Of the characters stand out in relief. and
consequently the people who present
them come in for more attention

THE ACADEMY.
Vaudeville.

The feature Of the bill at the Academy
this week is the Balloon Girl. heading a
good list Of entertainers. the whole seem
ing to afford acute enjoyment TO the largo
holiday audiences of yesterday.
The young lady billed as the Balloon
Girl first appears before the audience IN
song. then the theater is totally dark
ened, and a gaily colored balloon az.
pears at the back OF the stage. The
girl takes a seat in the car and then
floats back and forth over the heads Of
the audience, singing and exchanging
persifage with those beneath. 1t is a
novelty well executed and made a big
hit.
Deadato gave an interesting sleight Of
hand performance, the accomplishment
of his trick being marked by dexterity
and celebrity; Whittle. the ventriloquist,
contributed his interval OF comedy, in
which he impersonates Col Roosevelt;
Alfred K. Hall appeared in a walking
sketch Of song. comedy, and eccentric
dancing, and Hammond and Forester
furnished a number Of like variety. The
moving pictures figured on the bill as
usual. showing two unusually good ser
ies. The Brothers" and Fighting the
IroQuois."
