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


 It may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office has 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 a million; but, great as that number is, 1t is trifiing compared with the mum Der of figures employed in the calcula- tons, as the almanac figures repre- sent "bare" results only. The moor for instance, requires for its calcu- lation 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 fig 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 iabors 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 appll- ances are conspicuously absent, as the work of the staff is purely naathemati, cal and not ,observetional.-Lond 1 Telegraph

A t eoend of Mount Osaj.

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 a Buddhist temple, around which gather some of the hollest traditions of that religion and which is made Mecca to the Chinese. To facilitate the ascent of its slippery sides some 20.OoO steps have been cut in the mountain. form ing singre flight up which the pill grim tolls. Because of its inaccessi- bility few Europeans have ever visited the spot, but number of travellers have ascended the stairway and are positive that 1t Is no legendary myth. There is legend that in earlier tines the pilgrim was forced to ascend the mountain without artificial aids until the monks conceived the plan of re- quiring every pilgrim who would gain especial benefit of his journey to cut a single steE.

THE ELECTROSCOPE.
Instrument by Which the Presence of
 Electricity Is Detected,


 Tte electroseope is an instrument for ne detection of electricity. It depends for its action on the principle that bodies charged with like electricity re pel, while those charged with unlike electricity attract each other The ordi- nary pith ball suspended on sils thread is the simplest form of the in- strument.
 The most common type of electro scope is that devised by Bennett in i787 and known as the gold leaf cleo rcscope. It consists of two strips of gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus- pended from the lower extremity of a conductor within glass bottle or jar. The upper end of the conductor ter inmates in 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 nega- tive electricity will be attracted to the knob and the positive repelled to the leaves, which diverge. If now the fin. ger is touched to the knob the positive electricity Is drawn off and the leaves collapse, while the negative electricity b 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 body brought near it, as with posi- tive charge the leaves will collapse and with a negative charge spread farther epart.-EXchange
