MH'tiou, ami for tliin purpoMO I would no-
Iih'I a aovonntrn ua a familiar object
Let ua put one on t ho ground and pile
upon it an many na will roai'li SO feet in
hoi'-rlit. Tlion let tin jilaeo nuinbovs of
aimilar columim in cloxa contaot, form
inn k atruigtit lino nnd umkiiin u gort of
wall SO fuet IukIi. allowing only tho thin
iloa of tho coin,
tinutfinu two hiicIi wiiIIm running par
allnl to each other and forming, na it
were, a long it root. We inuBt then keep
on extondinu theao walla for milea, nay,
humlroilH of milea, and Mill we ahall be
far short of the roiiuired number. And
it Is not until we have extended our
imaginary atroot to a diatanca of S,3H0
uiitea that we ahull have presented for
InHpoction our 1,000,000,000.000 or colna.
Or In liou of this arrangement we
may place them tint upon tho ground,
forming one continuous line like a long
guidon chain with every link In cloae
contact. Uut to do this we muat paas
over land and sea, mountain and valley,
deaert and plain, crossing the equator and
roturning around the southern hemi
sphere, through the trackleas ocean, re
trace our way again across the equator,
then still on and on until we again ar
rive at our starting point, and when we
nave thus passed a golden chatn around
the huge bulk of the earth we shall be
bnt at the beginning of our task. We
must drag this Imaginary chain no leu
7(W time around the globe.
If we can further Imagine all thoao
rows of links laid closely side by side
and every one In contact with its neigh
bor, we shall have formed a golden band
around the globe just S3 fuet 0 inches
wide and this will represent our 1,000,
000,000.000 of coins. Such a chain, If laid
in a straight line, would reach a fraction
over 18,828,440 miles, the weight of
which, If estimated at one-fourth ounce
each sovereign, would be 6,970,447 tons
ml would require for their transport no
leas than 8.828 ships, each with a full
cargo of 8,000 tons. Even then there
would be a residue of 447 tons, repre
senting 64.081,930 sovereigns.
For a measure of height let us take a
much smaller unit as our measuring rod.
The sheets of paper on which The Times
Is printed, if laid out flat and firmly
pressod together as in a well bound
book, would represent a measure of
about one-three hundred and thirty
third of an Inch in thickness. Let us
see how high a dense pile formed by a
billion of these thin paper leaves would
reach. We must in imagination pile
them vertically upward, by degroes
reaching to the height of our tallest
spires, and plowing these tho pile uiuat
still grow higher, topping the Alps and
Andes and the highest maks of the Him
alayas, and shooting op from thence
through the fleecy clonds pass beyond
the confines of our attenuated atmos
phere and leap up into the blue ether
with which the universe is filled, stand
ing proudly up far beyond the reach of
all terrestrial things still pile on your
thousands and millions of thin leaves,
for we are only beginning to rear the
mighty mass. Add millions on millions
of sheets and thousands of miles on
these, and still the number will lack its
due amount
Let ns pause to look at the neat plowed
edges of the book before us. Bee how
closely lie those thin flakes of paper; how
many there are In the mere width of a
span, and then turn our eyes in imagina
tion npward to our mighty column of
accumulated sheets. It now contains its
appointed number, and our 1,000,000,000,
000 of sheets of The Times superimposed
upon each other and pressed into a com
pact mass has reached an altitude of 47,
848 miles!
Those who have taken the trouble to
follow me thus far will, I think, agree
with me that 1,000,000,000,000 is a fearful
thing, and that few can appreciate its
real value. As for quadrillions and tril
lions, they are simply words, mere words,
wholly incapable of adequately Impress
ing themselves on the human intellect.

Things made to look liko guns are sold

such "gas pipes" at my shoulder. As tho

does the cheap gun perform. It will kill
birds fairly well for a time If hold

use, and it may contain a flaw or flaws

may not detect until too lute, When the

The moat amusing spot in town during

How One Girl Wa Itemembered.
One of the older teachers at Mount
Holyoke college remembers Miss Mary
Wilklns, who was among the pupils for
a year when she first came.
"I can t recall very much about hor,
she said in answer to eager questioning
from some of the undergraduates. "She
sat at my table, and it was her work as a
freshman to remove the platters before
dessert. She was very handy about
that."
"Think," says the girl who tells this
story, "of the wonderful Miss Wilklns
borne In mind for nearly 20 years only
for her handy wuy of taking a platter off
the table." New York Times.
Two Kiplanttlona of Dimples,
According to an old legend the baby's
dimples mark the spots where angels'
fingers touched the child In bearing It
from heaven to earth, but unrornantic
doctors have a different explanation.
They say that dimples probably result
from defective development of a muscle.
When the muscle is called Into use, the
defective portion faila to respond, and a
hollow is left into which tho flesh and
skin, of th6 check, for example, fall, and
thus the dimple is formed. New York

If the intelligent foreigner who comes

his round of observation, it must sur-
trise him to see what n difference exists
etween the rude huts of that district
and the cabins of the very poor In Great
Britain and France. The latter are built
to lost, while the New York shanty is
only expected to tide over a period of
four or five years; but, rude as It Is with

Well made furniture, carpets, stoves
and wall paper are common to the shan

have to content himself with an earthen
floor and bed built into the frame
work of the house. On a recent evening
reporter saw a shanty that could not
have cost $100. It had lace curtains at
the windows, portieres worth about $10,
framed pictures on the walls, and was
lighted by a piano lamp with a silk

The time worn "million stamps" lie

mortal. People all over tho country are
trying to accumulate 1,008,000 canceled
postage stamps, in the belief that a
standing offer is made by the govern

such a collection. Some think that $10,

imagine that the reward is the endow
