Jlrbanc I Barrett, cube-roking, of Mason City, does not claim to be " a mathematician. , "This is Just a hobby of mine," he said at a demonstration before a large gathering of junior college students as he calmly wrote down 8877 as the cube root of 009,517,-622,13- 3 (figure it yourself.) Mathematicians everywhere he has Rppeared have blinked their eye's in amazement to witness the rapid calculation methods of Barrett, who is a Masoa City attorney by' profession, for he mentally computes the cube root of numbers In the trillions. This feat has heretoot , Armour Institute," the Society of Mechanical Western Engineers, the Mathematicians' club of the University of Chicago and the University fore AmericanEngineers, '. of Ohio. To solve problems In cube root by the common mathematical method takes a good mathematician fifteen to thirty minutes.

He won considerable fame here some years ago when he held a champion chess- player even in a tournament. Chess, ns well as cube root, is one of his hobbies. Otherwise he is an ordinary lawyer, being connected with the firm of Barrett & Barlow, of this city. "One time, when- I was a youngster, a man enme arouud selling rapid calculation books," said Barrett. "I asked him if they contained a simple manner for extracting cube root and he told me that such a thing was impossible. I kept wondering about it and one day as I was performing my chore of milking the cow the idea popped into my head. Jumping up, I dashed to the house to work It out. Impatient, the cow kicked the pail over and I was scolded, but I had the solution of my problem."

The other' fellows the casual convention visitor who comes bv himself, or with his family, to see a President named will be taken care of all right, committee mem bers declare ; but the first thing is to see that the men who have to attend the sessions of the convention for one reason or another are adequately looked after and their needs supplied. As to' the " entertainment, the committee has under way plans at this time which, members believe, will cause Cleveland to be long remembered as a convention host. Recalling the ' favorable publicity San Francisco received as host of the Democratic legions four years ago, Cleveland ha3 decided to take a leaf from San Francisco's book and write a new one as well all on the matter of making her thou sands of casual visitors remember Cleveland pleasantly when they go home and want to come back again.

Some of the delegations will be ho 'sed at one hotel although some of the larger ones like New York or Pennsylvania, will be split up,and entertained at different places.
