THE ELECTROSCOPE.
Instrument by Which the Presence of
Electricity Is Detected.
The electroscope Is an instrument for
the detection of electricity. It depends
for its action on the principle , that
bodies charged with like electricity re
pel, while those charged with unlike
electricity attract each other. The ordi
nary pith ball suspended, on a silk
thread is the simplest form of the in
strument ' ,
The most common type of electro
scope Is that devised by Bennett in
1787 and known as the gold leaf elec
troscope. It consists of two strips' of
gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus
pended from the lower extremity of a
conductor within a glass bottle or Jar.
The upper end of the conductor ter
minates in a ball or a plate in case the
instrument is to be used as a condens
ing electroscope. If a body charged
with positive electricity Is brought near
the knot of the electroscope the nega
tlve electricity will be attracted to the
knob and the positive repelled to the
leaves, which diverge. If now the fin
ger is touched to the knob the positive
electricity is drawn off and the leaves
collapse, while the negative electricity
is held bound. - Removing the charged
body, the leaves will diverge again,
charged with negative electricity. In
this case the Instrument can be used
to determine the nature of a charge of
a body brought near it, as with a posi
tive charge the leaves will collapse and
with a negative charge spread farther
apart Exchange.
A STUDY IN FIGURES,
Calculations Necessary to Produce the
Nautical Almanac
It may safely be said that no one
outside the publishing office Eas read
the entire Nautical Almanac from be
ginning to end. but each figure of the
printed almanao is in the office- ex
amined twice and read three times.
The total number of figures exceeds
a million; but great as that number Is,
It Is trifling compared with the num
ber of figures employed In the calcula
tions, as the almanao figures repre
sent "bare" results only. The moon,
for instance, requires for its calcu
lation more than a million and a half
of figures, and similarly with other
branches of the work, such as the
sun, the planets, etc. Contrary to the
general opinion, practically every fig
ure in the book Is fresh from year to
year.
The tables from which nearly all the
work Is calculated have been original
ly constructed from the labors of the
astronomical observer and to a large
extent from the observations of the
sun, moon and planets made at the
Royal observatory, Greenwich. Tele
scopes and other astronomical appli
ances are conspicuously absent, as the
work of the staff Is purely mathemati
cal and not observational. London
Telegraph.
A Legend of Mount Oml.
Mount Oml. on the border between
restcrn Chlua and Tibet, has the loug
est staircase in the world. On top of"
the mountain there stands a Buddhist
temple, around which gather some of I
the holiest traditions of that religion ;
and which is made a Mecca to. the
Chinese. To facllltute the ascent of
its slippery sides some 20,000 steps
have been cut lu the mountain, form-.
lng a single flight up which the pil
grim tolls. Becnuse of Its Inaccessi
bility, few Europeans have ever vlslteJ
It V(as Erected by Our Government en
... Canadian Soil. -
It is not generally known thtt out
government on' e undertook to erect a
fort on British soIL .The site of this
fort,, afterwa.d called Fort Montgom
ery, was about half a mile northeast
of Rouse's roi:it, X. Y., not far from
the foot of Lake Cbamplaln. Popular
ly it was known as "Fort Blunder."
It appears that after the war of 1312
our government felt the necessity ot
guarding the entrance to Luke Cham-
plain. Accordingly lu 1813 was beuii
the erection of Fort Montgomery. The
original notion was to construct a
great fort In those days that ineatit
a fort with three tiers of guns.
heu the work had been in hand
for some time it was discovered that
owina, to an error of early surveyors,
the actual boundary between New
York and Canada, the forty-fifth par
allel of north latitude, passed south of
the fort. . Work on th fnrt .'
pended for about twenty-five years,
and not until the year 1842 was the
territory restored to the United States
The agreement known as the Web-ster-Ashburton
trenty, establishing the
northeastern boundary, made the line
between New York and Canada con
form to the old and incorrect early
survey. Thus "Fort Blunder" was
again-on United States territory. The
people of Maine, it is said, never quite
forgave DanleT Webster for giving up,
as they claimed he did, a great slice of
territory to whteh they thought them
selves entitled in order to save Rouse's
Point
After the boundary question was set
tled the fort was finished, but it wis
never manned by more than sufficient
men tq keep It in order, and it was
never armed. Harper's Weekly. . .
