One million dollars
Few persons realize the immense
magnitude Of this vast sum. When
the remark 10 heard that Mr.. so and So
is q millionaire In niue cases out Of ten
neither the listener nor the one max
ing the statement has any idea Of what
million dollars means. This is the
age of magnitude, and at the present
day people speak Of q million dollars
as commonplace affair, without any
adequate idea Of what they are taking

The following figures the result Of
Q careful calculation, may give reader
an estimate of how much money there
is In q million.

weight Of one ton seven hundred aud

would reach the height Of 29l feet

affairs, following the devastation and
