A BILLION
Henry Besseuiber writes to
the Loudon Times about the
significance of billion, and
among bis illustrations is the
following: For a measure of
height let us take much smal-
ler unit as our measuring rod.
The thin sheets of paper on
which these lili s are printed,
if laid out flat and firmly
pressed together as in a well
bound book, would present a
measure of about 1.333 of an
in thinkness. Let us see how
high a dense pile formed by
a billion of these thin paper
leaves would reach. We must
in imagination, pile thorn
vertically upward, by degrees
reaching to the height of our
tallest spires; and passing
these, the pile must go still
higher, topping the Alps and
the Andes and the highest
peak of the Himalayas, and
shooting up from thence
through the fleecy clouds, pass
beyond the confines of our at
teuuated atmosphere and leap
up in the blue ether with
which the universe is filled,
standing proudly up far beyond
the reach of all terrestrial
things, still pile on your thou-
sands and millions of thin
leaves, for we are only begin
ning 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
us pause to look at the neat
'plowed edges of the book be-
fore us. See how closelv lie
*
the thin flakes of paper, how
many there are in the mere
width of a span, and then
tun* our eyes in imagination
upward to our mighty column
of, accumulated sheets. It
now contains its appointed
number, and our 1,000,000,-
006,000 sheets of the Times
superimposed upon each other
and pressed into a compact
mass has reached an altitude
of47,348 miles.
CALLING HIM A PUPPY.
Would-be Masher: "May I

panying yon home?"
Young Lady: (,0. certainly
1 will be delighted to havo
you."
"I'll only bo too happy."
' And my little brother will
he'so glal to see yon. His
little dog died, and 1 promised
to get him a fresh one. You
joet fill the bill,"—Kx.
