A CrRIOIrS PROBLEM.

A correspondent of knowledge having asked
how much space would be required on me

each pair sons and daughters beng born alter

wears old-tbere being also no deaths-the
Editor replied that the population, taking 80
for each pair ut the average age OF forty years,
would be 2.l99,9l5, followed by Ill dglts,
which digits might be represented without APP
preciable IneXactness by clphers. Now, as
Stunning that ten persons could stand on sur
face one ward square, 3O,OOO,OOO could stand
On square mile, and ON the entire earth,
whose surface is about 2OO,OOO QUO square
miles some 5000 millions of millions. Dividing
the number Just obtained by this, the result
IS 1866 526, followed by 12j cIphers. 1t
would require this incOncelvaDle number OF
worlds like our own for the population on the
assumptions made.
Let Us SEE, says Mr. Proctor, how large
single globe would suffice to give standing
room to this population, ten to the square
yard. Such globe must have a diameter eX-
ceedng the earths as the cube root Oh tie
above quantity exceeds unity, or roughly, as
followed by 10 cipheIs exceeds unity. In
reality it viii be larger considerably but this Is
near enough in such problem as the present.
Now the diameter of the orbit OF Neptune,
roughly. exceeds the earths diameter nearly
100000 times. Hence the diameter OF Tie re-
CURED globe exceeds the diameter OF neptune
orbit more than hundred billions of billions OF
billions Of times. SuppOsng the furthest star vlsi-
BILE in the great ROSSe telescope TO he some thlr
teen or fourteen millions OF times further from

times further than Neptune, the distance of that
star, 1000, 900 100000 times further than

MUZZLE PIVOT GUNS.

OF experiments with a new kind CT gun and
shell The gun Is on the muzzle pivotng sys-
TEN, and the shell has been specially designed
for torpedo effect, that is, to burst on penetra-
ton of armOred ships with a result similar to
the explosion of Il torpedo. The experiments
were considered highly satisfactory, and quite
sufficient To Justify the great German manuiac-
turer of weapons in taking immediate measures
for the production of larger guns and shells
than those tried The gun experimental with
was OF twenty one centimetre cal bre, with
l0ng shell having a tremendous bursting
charge so arranged that the shell should ex-
pioue ONLY after penetrating some distance into
the arnor plating The guns muZzle pivot is

in Russia and by many native ones II l. only
of late years that public feeling has been
awakened in the matter. TINS has been partly

Referring 10 this, and to Il discussion by the
