It may safely be said that no one

the entire Nautical Almanac from Do
ginning to end. but each figure OF the
printed almanac is In the Office ex-
amined twice and read three times.
The total number OF figures exceeds
a million: but, great as that number 10.
It is trifing compared with the NUM-
Der OF figures employed In the calcula-
lions. as the almanac figures repre-
sent "bare' results only. The moon.
for instance. requires for Its calct-
lation more than 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 1s'

The tables from which nearly all tn
work is calculated have been original
