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

Few are the steamer passengers who
fall to visit the wireless office aboard
ship to watch the operation of tbe in
strument» and to question the oper
ator. Needless to Bay, the technical
underotiiiidlng of the well meaning
visitors 1» a variable quantity. The
operator must listen to wondering ex
clamations. original suggestions for
the Improvement of the service, dis
courses on the relations between wire
less telegraphy and spiritualism and
other doubtful topics with uniform
courtesy, At time», however, the
strain Is too great. It was a lady pas-
senger with an eye for details who
came to the wireless room and looked
wonderingly In.
"Oh, here's the wireless! May 1

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

"Those are condenser jars, madam,

"Really? I don't believe I could

looks like a birdcage.”
"That is the Inductance helix.”
"What are those things over your
ears?"
“The receiving telephones.”
"Then you have telephone connec
tion too. 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! Does It keep out all in
terference?”
“Not all," replied the operator wea
rily. “Some kinds of Interference can't

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.
