THE SYMBOLS OF THE ALMANAc.-Th

THE SYMBOLS OF THE ALMANAC.-The
origin of the twelve astronomical symbols
which indicate the twelve signs of the 20
diac, is very ingeaiously explained by the
Rev. T. II. Broome, of Norfolk, England,
who, in an article in the Astronomical Reg
tster shows that each of these symbols is
formed of the line or lines which include
the principal stars of the constellation or
sign which it staads for. The paper is il
Illustrated by an excellent plate. and is well
worthy of being read by all interested in
astronomical curl ,sities. The same author
in previous pap r, says that has discov-
cred the origin Of the characters of the He
brew alphabet in the CONGREGATIONS of the
consultations.

A Calculating Genius.

A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Com
n,crciR contributes the following in relation
to the shipment of coal from that city last
week on boats
"On Thursday and Friday last, 5,279,0O0
bushels coal were shipped. This equals
229,9Gi tons. To carry this by rail, at ten
tons to each car, would require 90 ,996 cars.
With % cars to train, 919 locomotives
would be necessary to haul these trains
Allowing these trains to be ten minutes
apart in starting, 1856 hours would be spent
in starting them and at that rate there
would be 400 trains due in Cincinnati be-
fore the last one had left this city. All
these trains combined would extend dis
lance of 145f miles % ,996 cars, averaging
30 feet in length, 6s9,S70 feet; 9l9 locomo-
tives and tenders, averaging forty five. feet
Al 1856 feet; for coupling, $500 feet--in all,
756,G55 feet, or a fraction over 145 miles. v

The MILLIONS WE FEED.-The
New Orleans Picayune says, besides
feeding forty millions Of inhabitants
here at home in a way not at all econ
omical, the United States send away
seventy oddmillions of dollars worth
Of breadstufIS, as much more of meat
and the products of meat, or enough
bread and meat to keep alive eight
or ten millions. And, besides cloth
ing themselves in a very extraya-
giant way. our people send abroad, in
addition to great quantities of wool
and leather, cotton enough to supply
fifty pounds each to twenty eight
millions Of Europeans Under the
stimulus of high prices twice as much
bread and meat might be sent out
and a greatly increased quantity of
cotton. Without Inconvenience this
country could export enough to
feed, clothe and support in every
reasonable comfort foreign pOpula-
ton equal TO our own. This pro-
duction Of twice as much as we need
at home would go on without diminu-
ton until after the present popula-
ton had swollen to hundred and
twenty millions.
