A Legend Of Mount Omi.

Mount Omi. on the border between
western China and Tibet, has the long
est staircase in the world. On top of
the mountain there stands Buddhist
temple, around which gather some OF
the hottest traditions of that religion
and which Is made a Mecca to the
Chinese To facilitate the ascent of
IT. slippery sides some 10000 steps
have been cut in the mountain, form
ing q sing1e flight. up which the pill
grim tolls. Because Of its inaccessi-
bilfty few Europeans have ever visited
the spot, but a number Of travellers
have assembled the stairway and are
positive that 1t is no legendary myth.
There is a legend that in earlier times
the pilgrim was forced to ascend the
mountain without artificial aids until
the monks conceived the plan of re-
curing every pilgrim who would gain
especial benefit Of his journey to cut
single step.

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

Calculations Necessary to Produce the
Nautical Almanac.
It may safely be said that no one
outside the publishing Office mas read
the entire Nautical Almanac from be-
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
Z million; but, great as that number is.
It is trining compared with the num-
Der of figures employed in the calcula-
tons, as the almanac figures repre-
sent "bare" results only. The moon,
for instance. requires for its calcu-
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 fig
ure In the hook is fresh from year to
year.
The tables from which nearly all the
work is calculated have been original
" constructed from the labors of the
astronomical observer and to large
extent FROM the observations of the
sun, moon and planets made at the
Royal observatory. Greenwich. Tele
scopes and other astronomical appli
ances are conspicuously absent, us the

cal and not Observation-Disclosures

THE ELEcTRoscopE.
Instrument BY Which the Presence ~
Electricity Is Detected


The electroscope is an instrument for
he detection Of electricity. 1t depends
Tor Its action on the principle that
bodies charged with like electricity re-
pei, while those charged with unlike
electricity attract each other. The ordi-
nary pith ball suspended on silk
thread is the simplest form OF the in
strument
The most common type Of electro
scope Is that devised by Bennett In
1857 and known as the gold leaf cleo
troscope. 1t consists of two strips Of
pended from the lower extremity Of Il
conductor within q glass bottle or jar.
The upper end Of the conductor ter
inmates in n ball or plate in case the
instrument Is to be used as a condens-
ing electroscope If body charged
with positive electricity is brought near
the knob Of the electroscope the mega
tive electricity will be attracted to the
knob and the positive repealed to the
leaves, which diverge. II now the fin
ger Is touched to the knob the positive
electricity Is drawn of and the leaves
collapse, while the negative electricity
y held bound Removing the charged
body, the leaves will diverge again,
charged with negative electricity. In
this case the instrument can be used
TO determine the nature Of charge Of
Z body brought near II. as with posi-
tive charge the leaves will collapse and
with a negative charge spread farther
