A correspondent asks US if the state
ment made in the MONITOR of May %,
that a billion is million million, is not
incorrect. We think it is correct by the
English system of enumeration. There
are six figures in each period. according
to this method, hence the twelve ciphers
which are produced by multiplying a
million by million make two English
periods, and the figure l goes over into
the third or billion column.

being unwell and rapidly grew worse,
