A STUDY IN FIGURES Calculations N«c««««ry to Produc« th« Nautical Almanac. It may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office has read tbe entire Nautical Almanac from be ginning to end, but each figure of the printed almanac 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 tbe almanac figures repre sent “bare” results only. The maon. for Instance, requires for Its calcu lation more thau a million and a half of figures, and similarly with other brandies of the work, such as the sun, the planets, etc. Contrary to the general oplulon. practically every fig ure In tbe book Is fresh from year to year. The tables from which nearly all the work Is calculated have been original ly constructed from the lalsirs of the astronomical observer, and to a large extent from the ohsen atii.us of the sun. iuooii and planets made at the Royal observatory, Greenwich. Tele scopes and other astronomicnl appli ances are conspicuously absent, as the work of the «tuff 1« purely mathemati cal and not observational.—London Telegraph.

Isn't it wonderful to think of sending those those waves—you call them waves, don't you? How fas cinating to work at this!

One can hardly keep up with tbe times these days. What does that coll do?” ‘That Is the receiving tuner and In terference preveuter.” "Wonderful!

There was a time when n workman In England received 8 cent« a day a» an ordinary wage, when «killed ar tisans commanded 12 cents a day and when women worked in the field at such tasks a« reaping straw, hoeing, planting bean« and washing sheep for 2 cent« a day, and a wise student of the subject has expressed tbe opin ion that tbe British workman of that day was better off thau be bus ever been since theu. That sounds paradoxical, But the explanation 1» this: The workman who sold his services for 8 cents a day could buy good beet or niuttou for lV-j cents a pound. Wheat cost him on the average only 18 cents a bushel. He could get board for 12 to lii cents a week. Tbe pay he would receive for fifteen weeks’ services would suffice to purchase a supply of suitable food stuffs. according to the standard of his time (consisting uf wheat, malt and oatmeal), to maintain his family for an entire year.
