Statistics Of Rlble Making.

At the oxford University's own paper
mill, which is situated at Wolvercote,
near oxford, 375 tons of rags have been
consumed in making $50 tons of paper
for this issue of the Revised Version. 1t
would cover two and quarter square
miles. Ii would 90 round the world in
strip six inches wide, or say, If the
pages were laid open one after another,
1t would go round the world. The sheets
piled In reams as they leave the mill
would make n column 10 times the height
of st. Paul's, or folded into books before
binding ut least 100 times the height.
The copies, which are being prepared by
the Oxford University Press alone,
would, If piled Hat one upon another,
make n column more than II miles high,
or $40 times the height of the monument.
If piled end on end they would reach ~
miles high or 1913 times the height Of the
monument. 1t is hardly possible TO give
an idea OF the number OF goats and sheep
whose skins have been required for
binding the copies, but 1t has been cal
culatcd that 1860 goat skins have been
used in binding the copies which will be
presented by the American committee
of revsion.- Pail Mall Gazette.

Hugo's Strange Belief.

Victor Hugo was always convinced
that he would meet all his friends in n
future world. lie was equally sure that
he had always existed from the antedi-
luvian times when the Creator placed
him on earth. lie believed that he
would exist forever, inasmuch ~ he felt
in his soul thousands OF hymns, dramas,
and poems that had never found express
sion. When the atheists would say to
him, "Ihe proof that you will not exist
in the future IL that You did not exist In
the past" Hugo would answer: "Who
told you did not exist In the past CEN
turtles? You will say that is the legend
of the ages. The poet has written !:
Life IS n tale twice written lie might
have said a thousand times written.
There is not an age In which | cannot
find my spirit. You do not believe in
the doctrine of surviving personalities
for the reason that you do not recollect
your anterior existence. But how can
the recollection of vanished ages remain
imprinted on your memory when you
do not remember q thousand and one
scenes and events of your present life?
Since 1902 there have been 10 Victor
Hugos in me. DO you think that | can
recall all their actions and ali their
thoughts? The tomb Is dark, and when
| shall have passed the tomb to emerge
into light once more all these Victor
Hugos will be almost wholly strangers
| to me, but ii will always be the same
soul - Paris Figaro.
