A CURIOUS CALcULATIoN.--A rapid pen
man can write thirty words in minute. TO
do this he must draw bis quill through the
space of a rod--sixteen feet and half In
forty minutes his pen travels furlong, and
in five hours and third mile. We make,
on an average. sixteen curves or towns Of the
pen in writing each word. Writing thirty
words in a minute, we must make four hun
drcd and eighty to each second in an
hour twenty-eight thousand eight hundred !;
in day of only five hours, one hundred and
forty-four thousand and in a year of three
hundred days, forty-three million two hun.
dred thousand The man who made millions
strokes with pen ina mouth was not at all
remarkable. Many men make four millions.
Here We have, in the aggregate, mark three
hundred miles long, to be traced ON paper by
each writer in a year. In making each letter
of the ordinary alphabet, we must make from
three to seven strokes of the pen--on an av-
erage, three and q half to four.-Er.
