curious CalC ul8ClOn OF the DlSCduco u Oh
Point Travels.
The fastest time in which train has
been known to travel mile is forty
nine seconds and fraction. 10 &C
complish the same distance the fastest
bicyclist who has hitherto ridden took
two minutes and three quarters, or just
about three times as long. An ice
yacht has travelled a mile in one minute
and ten seconds, a running horse in one
minute and thirty live and one-half
seconds, torpedo boat in one minute
and fifty seconds, steam yacht in two
minutes and twelve seconds and frac-
ton, and skater on ice, with favora-
BILE wind behind him, in two minutes
and twelve seconds and rather a larger
fraction.
A rapid writer can write thirty words
a minute. To do this he must draw his
pen through the space of rod, sixteen
and one half feet In forty minutes
his pen travels a furlong, and in five
hours and third a full mile. He
makes, on an average, sixteen curves
or turns of the pen for each word writ t.
ten. Writing at the rate of thirty
words per minute, he must make eight
curves to each second; in an hour, 2s,-
500; in five hours, $4,000, and in 300
days, working only five hours each day,
he makes not less than 43,200, 900
curves and turns Of the pen!
The man who makes but 1000, 900
has done nothing remarkable; there
are those who make four times that
number. Here we have in the aggre-
gate mark 800 miles long to be traced
on paper by single writer in a year.
In making each letter of the alphabet
we make from three to seven strokes of
the pen-on an average, three and a
half to four.
