AP0PLExY ENDED THE LIFE
OF LIGHTNING CALCULATOR.
Griffith Was Famous For Quick Solu-
tons Of Intricate Problems.

Arthur F. Griffith Of Milford. Ind. a
lightning calculator. who has bewilder-
ed vaudeville audiences throughout the
country for number of years by his
mathematical wizardry. was found
dead Of apoplexy in his bed at a
Springfield (Mass.l hotel.
Griffith, who was known profession
ally as the marvellous Griffith" was
thirty-one years old He was consid-
cred one of those mathematical wiz
ards born with an inherent attraction
for figures
Without pencil or paper he could
raise a figure 10 the sixth power In
about eleven seconds: could multiply
three figures by three figures in FIVE
seconds and could multiply nine figures
by nine figures in eight seconds.
As proof of his lightning calculating
system he once did the work of four
teen clerks in the state auditors Office
at Springfield. ILL.,. for three hours on
a wager. On three occasions. twice in
indianapolis. and once In Bloomington.
ILL.,, he won races with adding ma
chimes.
In test before professors at Har-
ward he answered every mathemati-
cal question propounded-the tabled
fourth dimension" alone being barred.
Problems that would require hours
of figuring by most persons were solv.
ed in a few moments by Griffith. The
answer 10 a problem like this would
be at his tongues end:
What is the compound interest on
] cent at g per cent from the birth of
Christ to the present date. and how
far would that many silver dollars
reach in the air If placed fat and
against each other on every square
foot Of a clear and level tile floor 25,-
900 miles in circumference"
Questions such as this were regard
ed as light mental exercises" by Mr..
Griffith.

New Smelter Kinks.

That there are several important fea
lures involded In the lead smeltcr is
evident from the following brief descrlp-
tion Of the plan contained in recent
editorial OF the Engineering and Mining
Journal:
One OF the metallurgica1 difficulties OF
former times was the treatment Of lead
copper ores. The copper smelter was not
keen about buying them, because he
would lose the lead: and. while the lead
smelter would take them and ultimately
recover both metals. that was accom-
plished only BY a long -drawn-out pro-
cess and by suffering a large loss OF the
metals especially Of the lead. Several
wears ago. however. the problem OF con-
vcrtinG lesd-copper matte and collecting
tho lead fume by bag filtration was sue.
ccssfully worked out at the Omaha plant
OF tho American Smelling e. Refining COM
pany and also at the Perth Amboy piant I
OF the same company. and we suppose that
a similar procedure would now be fol-
lowed in any new smelling works.
In the conducting Of custom business,
especially Il Is nowadays rather es-
sential TO POSSESS a combination plant,
. copper smelter who Is unable to
receive lead bearing ore being at dis
advantage This was fully recognized
by Mr. Mathewson in his designing OF
the Tooele plant OF the international
Smelling Il Refining company. and was
undoubt edly one OF the reasons loading
that company into tho lead business.
