A Cubic Mile of Humanity.

fanclful genius suggests that it is
now time to celebrate the completion of
the first cubic mile of humanity, and
gives a calculation to show that the
bodies of all mankind, from the first
Adam down to the Adams just born, if
closely packed without diminution of
volume, would exactly fill that space.
Here are his figures, which our young
mathematicians who have nothing else
to do may verify if they can.
According to the orthodox chronology
the world has been inhabited about G, 900
years, or 40 generations. Its present
population is about fifteen hundred
millions but this density of population
must have been slowly reached, since
all are descended from an original. Con.
sequently he takes half the number of
the present seven hundred and fifty mil
liens, as the average population of The
world from the beginning until now,
making the aggregate of human bodies
during the ITO generations, 127, 500 mil
lions. Since many die in infancy, and
half are women, the average weight of
each body is taken as seventy-four
pounds. The aggregate weight of all
mankind to date must accordingly be
4,212 million tons, or little more than
the weight of cubic mile of sea water.
Since the human body, with the lungs
not inflated, is trihe heavier than sea
water, our calculator assumes that his
estimated 4,212 million tons of human
ity would fill the same space as 4, ,205
million tons of sea water, or precisely
one cubic mile.

ing the same freedom in striking avera-
ges, the automatically inclined may
deduce any number of amusing results.
For instance, assuming the average
length of humanity to be little under
four feet, the bodies of all mankind, liv-
ing and dead, placed end to end, would
just make bridge from the earth to the
sun nl-Scientifc american.
