CURIOUS CALcULATIoN.-A writer in
the Boston Joarnal makes the following
curious calculations:
The enormous sum Of 1904 600 600 in
gold has been received at the Mint IN
Philadelphia, from California. from the
first discovery Of the precious etal, to
December /. 1853.
Now to give some idea to the general
reader Of the immense amount of S204.
900. 900. l will merely state that allow
ing each silve: dollar to weigh one ounce
svordupois. sixteen 10 the pound. the
weigh. would be 2.750 600 lbs. or 6
275 tons. allowing 1000 to the ton. To
carry this weight, il would require 1873
wagons. containing ton each. vehicle
drawn by one horse, to occupy space
Of twenty-five feet, they would extend
in a continuous line fraction over tair-
ty miles.
la order to count such a vast sum Of
money as this. very few persons have any
idea Of the time i, would require, with
out making calculation to that effect.
Having myself asked some individuals ia :
miiar with figures, how long it would
take to count the sum above mentioned.
they have so widely differed in time, that
one could scarcely repress smile at the
result. Now, 10 ascertain the fact, which
NAV be made as clear as A B G, we will
suppose person TO count 80 of these
silver dollars a m mute, 3 600 an hour. or
5000 a day Of IL hours each, or (Sun-
DAYS included) Is. 766. 900 year. ] say,
to count this stupendous amount OF mon-
ey in silver dollars, would require frac
