A curinus Problem.

A correspondent Of Knowledge having
asked how much space would be re-
quired on the earth, on the assumption
that, beginning with single pair, the
human race had multiplied during
5000 years at the rate Of thirty chill
dren to each pair, sons and daughters
being born alternately, and each hus-
band and wife being at the time Of mar
riage respectively twenty -one and twenty
years old-there being also no deaths
the editor replied that the population,
taking thirty for each pair at the
average sof forty years would be
2,199,915, followed by 141 digits,
which digits might be represented with
out appreciable inexactness by ciphers.
Now assuming that ten persons could
stand on surface one yard square, 80,
600. 600 could stand on q square mile.
and on the entire earth, whose surface
is about 200, 600, 900 square miles, some
5000 millions Of millions. Dividing
the number just obtained by this, the
result is 1860. .527, followed by 1875
ciphers. It would require this incon-
ceivable number OF worlds like our own
for the population on the assump-
tions made. Let us see, says Mr..
Proctor, how large a single
globe would suffice to give standing
room to this population, ten to the
square yard. Such globe must have
diameter exceeding the earth's as the
cube root Of the above quantity ex-
ceeds unity, or roughly, as seven fol-
lowed by forty-three ciphers exceeds
unity. Tin reality it will be larger
considerably, but this is near enough in
such problem as the present. Now
the diameter of the orbit of Neptune,
roughly, exceeds the earth's diameter
nearly 100000 times. Hence the di-
ameter Of the required globe exceeds
the diameter Of Neptune's orbit
more than . hundred billions Of
billions Of billions of times. Sup
posing the furthest star visible in the
great Rosse telescope to lie some thir-
teen or fourteen millions Of times
further from Us than the nearest, which
lies about 10000 times further than
Neptune, the distance of that star.

The little shooting fish, o curious
specimen Of tropical life, is an expert
marrksman, and kills his game BY
water-shot. An English gentleman
who kept one in basin, reports that
would swim round and round, Watching
for fly or ant to appear on the edge Of
the vessel. AS soon as one was in sight,
The fish, poising itself, would shoot out
drop OF water with such dexterity Rs
to cause the victim 10 drop inso the
basin, where il was speedily swallowed.
He also says that when three Or four
these ''shooters" are confined in basin,
they will fire in turn, with singular
regularity.

WASHISGTON, Dec. C.-Attorney
General Brewster has communicated to
Congress his views upon the inadequate.
ness of the compensation to United
States witnesses in the Western States
and Territories. He believes the pres
cut law causes many suits on behalf Of

the enactment of law providing that
witnesses and jurors in California, Ore.
gon, Nevada, Colorado aud the Terri
tories he paid their actual expenses
while attending court, in lieu of the
mileage and per diem now allowed by
law. He also suggests as remedy to
overcome the complaint that the Judge
who presides in District also sits in
the Supreme Court when his decision is
reviewed. that either an additional
Judge be appointed in all the Terri
tories, or that a Circuit Judge be ap-
pointed, as iu the States.
