QUICK AT FIGURES
Ed Shaw Can Tell Seconds and
Minutes Quickly.
But He Has to Husk Corn to
Make Living.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. led
SHAW, Reno county's human lightning
calculator, has worked out two new

"First-When will we have the same
number of seconds left in the year as
there are minutes gone in the year?
! Second-When will there be the
same number of minutes left in the
year as there are seconds gone in the
month";
Well it's all matter of taste. In
stead of worrying over election re-
turns, or figuring out baseball per-
centages. or using up lead pencils
checking golf scores, Mr.. Shaw
works out this kind of problems
I've figured it out" he said. "The
answer to the first question is: The
25th of November, at IL o'clock mid
night. The answer to the second
question is: November 1, at IL o'clock
at night
It's All in His Head.
Mr.. Shaw doesn't use pencil and
paper in doing mathematical stunts.
Everything is worked out in his head.
Tell him how old you are and he'll tell
you in flash just how many days,
hours, minutes and even seconds old
you are.
The reporter who wrote this article,
for instance, is one billion, nine mill
lion, one hundred and fifty-two thous-
and seconds old. 1t took Ed Shaw
just two seconds to calculate it.

mon laborer. He makes living work.
ing on farms around Hutchinson and
Nickerson. His home is in Grant
township northwest of the city.
When he was little over a year
old he met with an accident which in
jured his head. Ever since then some
thing has been wrong with his brain.
Part of his brain evidently is over
developed, giving him an abnormal
power of calculating. He is a steady,
Intelligent and hard working man, re-
spected by all.
Discovered Power as Boy.
II first found out that I could do this
kind of mental calculating when I was
boy years DID, said Mr.. Shaw, to-
day. "One night while 1 was in bed
got to figuring out how many days old
was. figured it out in my head In
the morning told my mother and she
got paper and pencil and worked it
out and found had the right answer.
LAS I got older the power developed
until 1 could instantly multiply without
figures, until now can figure out any
sum. can calculate down into the
seconds any period of years.
Mr.. Shaw went to school at a district
school in Grant township. S. P. Row
land, now county superintendent, was
one of his teachers years ago. But he
was not a very good scholar in arith

in the book and work out the correct
answers in his head. but he could not
figure it out according to rule on his
slate or blackboard.
Knew Answers at Glance.
knew the answer by looking at the
problem, but 1 couldn't explain to the
teacher how 1 knew it, and the teacher
generally thought I was cheating. 1
guess he said.
1t may be of interest to know imme-
d1ately just how many seconds there
are in thirty-two years, but there is
not much commercial utility in know |
ing it.
And so Ed Shaw is husking corn for
a living.
