The Size of Heaven.
Atlanta Constitution


s'Does any book or commentary on the
Bible give the size Of Heaven ?"
W.P. P.
The twenty-frst chapter of Revelations
gives the measurement The most inter
esting calculation on the subject is that of
Captain ] B. Sharkley, measurer of YES
sels in the Boston custom house. He takes
the statement in Revelations xxi. and
figures it out thus: "And he measured the
city with the reed 10000 furlongs. The
length and the breadth and the height are
equal Twelve thousand furlongs-T,-
930, 900 feet cubed-497 93,0SS, 900, ,000,-
000,000 feet Reserving one-half of this
space for the throne and court of Heaven,
and one-half of the remainder for streets,
we have 124, ,19S, ,273,000 600, ,000, 600
rooms. We viii suppose the world always
did and always will contain 900, 600, 900
inhabitants, and that generation lasts 3ls
years, making in all 2,970,000,000 every
century, and that the world viii stand
1000, 600 years, or 10000 centuries, 20
700,000,000 inhabitants. Now, suppose
there are 100 worlds like this, equal in the
number of inhabitants and duration of
years, total of 100000, 900, 900, 900
persons, there would be more than 100
rooms l6 feet square for each and every

if conveniently in forty gallon barrel.
Keep covered while Stacking. Use just
water enough to slake dry. Let the lime
stand four or five hours to insure its being
well Stacked. If it is desirable to have
good smooth wash, the Stacked lime should
be sifted through moderately fine seive;
if to be used ON barns, outbuildings and
fences, it is not material about sitting. To
the lime thus prepared, add enough water
to half fill the barrel, then add two gallons
of -four starch, hot; one quart of grease to
make itrun smoothly; four pounds of melted
rosin, hot, to make it stick The -four
starch will also have the same effect. Some
use salt in making whitewash. We would
not, as salt in damp weather causes the
wash to crack and scale off After pre-
pairing the whitewash as above, fill your
barrel with water, cold or hot, and you will
have wash that win stand quite well for
FIVE years. To color dark, or slate, use
lampblack; for yellow, use yellow ochre;
for blue, use indigo; for different shades
or color, vary to suit If the wash gets
too thick, make thin with water. The
older the above whitewash becomes, the
better ii will be, if it is kept covered with
water, and not allowed to become hard
