A billion is a word easily written
and easily spoken, and we know it is
a million times q million but who
is able to count it? You count say
900 per minute :; then an hour would
produce ~, 200, day 29s, 900, and
O year l05, l20, 900. Let us suppose
that Adam, ut the beginning of his
existence, had begun to count, had
continued to do so, and was counting
still, he would not even now have
counted near enough; for, to count 8
billion, he would require 9,5l2 years
"a days, s hours and 20 minutes. I
we were TO allow him II hours dali,
for rest and food, he would need 10,
024 years, SO days, 10 hours and A
minutes in which to count a billion.

To make up for the inactivity ofthe army
in Bul garia the Russians are once more
