A STUDY IN FIGURES.
Calculations Necessary to Produce tho
 Nautical Almanac.

EAlCutQtiONS NSSoeSaty "
 Nautical Almanac.
 II may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office mas reao the entire Nautical Almanac from De- ginning to end, but each figure Of the printed almanac Is In the office eX- smined twice aud read three times
 The total number of figures exceeds & million; but. great as that number IT, 1t is trihing compared with the mum Der of figures employed In the eaieuia' lions. as the almanac figures repre- sent "bare" results only. The meoN for instance, requires for it's caleu' latiop more than a million and half of figures. and similarly with other branches of the work. such as the sun. the planets, etc. Contrary to the general opinion. practically every ng ure in the book Is fresh from year to year.
 The tables from which nearly all the work Is calculated have been original- ly constructed from the labors of the astronomical observer and to a large extent from the observations of the sun, moon and planets made at tue Royal observatory, Greenwich. Tele- scopes and other astronomical appn- ances are conspicuously absent, as the work of the staff is purely mathemat! cal and not observetional.--Lond Telegraph

THE KALEIDOSCOPE.

 Electricity Is Detected.

ElectrIoity IS DeteCtea'
 The electroseope is an Instrument fof coe detection of electricity. 1t depends for it's action on the principle fhat bodies charged with like electricity re- pal. while those charged with unlike electricity attract each other. Aae or'il' aary pith ball suspended oH Sl'S thread is the simplest form oS tho in' strument.
 The most common type or electfo scope is that devised by Bennett h 17s7 and known as the gold leaf elec- .roscone. It consists of two strips or gold leaf or thin aluminium foli sos' pended from the lower extremity ol conductor within a glass bottle or Jar The upper end of the conductor Ter r,nates fin bali or a plate in case the Instrument Is to be used as a condehs- ing electroscope. If body charged with positive electricity is brought near the knob of the electroscope the mega tive electricity will be attracted 10 tue knob and the positive repelled to the leaves, which diverge. If now the nn xer is touched to the knob the positive alectricity Is drawn off and the leaves collapse, while the negative eleetr'cl'y ha held bound. Removing the chafSeu body. the leaves will diverge again charged with negative electricity ID ,his case the instrument can be usea to determine the nature of charge oi q body brought near 1t, as with pos'. i've charge the leaves will collapse anu with a negative charge spread farthef apart-Exchange.

S1OO Reward, S100.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls CAtarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical frat ernity. Catarrh being constitution al disease, requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure IS taken internally, acting directly up- on the hood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work. The proprietors have so much faith in it's curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimon- ials
