Curious Calculations.

EThe simple interest of one cent, at six per
cent per annum, from the commence
ment OF the Christian era to the close Of the
present year 1863, would be but the trifiing sum
of eleven hundred dollars, seventeen cents and
eight mills but If the same principal, at the
same rate and time, had been allowed to accu-
mulate at compound interest, it would require
the enormous sum OF S4,S4O, ,000 COO 0O0 OF globes
of solid gold, each equal to the earth in magni-
tude, to pay the interest; and if the sum were
equally divided among the inhabitants of the
earth now estimated to be one thousand mil.
lions, every man, woman and child would re-
ceive 81 $40 golden worlds for an Inheritance. 4
Were all these globes placed side by side in
direct line, 1T would take lightning itself, that
can girdle the earth in the wink Of an eye,
1900 years to travel from end to end. And If

while a man was stationed at the other-light

velocity OF a cannon ball being about 1900 feet
per second, and in this case supposed to con-
tinue at the same rate; and sound moving
through the atmosphere 1920 feet in second
he would the flash after W aiting 10000
years; the ball would reach him in seventy
four billions OF years: but he would MOI hear
the report till the end of one thousand millions
of centuries. Again, II all these masses of
gold were fused into one prodigious ball,
having the sun for is centre, it would reach
out into space, in alt directions, one thousand
seven hundred andl thirty millions of miles,
almost reaching the orbit of Herschel or Uran- :
us: and if the interest were continued till the
end of the present century, it would entirely
fill up the solar system, and even encroach five
hundred million Of miles on the domain of the
void beyond the planet Neptune, whose orbit,
at the distance of two thousand eight hundred
and fifty millions of miles from the sun, en-
circles our whole system of worlds.
The present system Of figures is called the
Arabic method, but it should be more proper
ly termed the Indian method, because it has its
origin among the Hindoos of India, from whom
the Arabs learned it; and they, in turn, carried
the art into Spain, where they practised it
during their long occupation of that country.
