The ss Horseshoe ,, Calculation.

The results of some arthmetical
problems are simply incredible till the
process by which they are reached is
followed step by step. 1t is, therefore,
not surprising that in spite of the noto-
riety of the famous "horse- shoe" cal
culation, two persons accepted the offer
of well-known farmer in the Brechin
district, who lately proposed to pay the
expenses of picnic to thirty farmers,
provided one of them would bring to
him in the market on Tuesday one
grain of oats, doubling the number of
grains every Tuesday for twelve months
Upon the offer being taken, one of the
parties accepting it having, according
to local Journal, offered to carry all
the oats on his back at the end of the
year, calcula tion was made, which re-
suited as follows The grains of oats
would amount at the end of twelve
months to 1,034, ,834, ,468 quarters, two
bushels and the value at thirty shil-
Gngs per quarter, was found to be e.
552, PSI, 702, Is Sd. The picnic was not
paid for, but the gentleman who thought
that he could carry the accumulation OF
oats So stood round of champagne.
