Macoun's remarks has been made. He
was careful to state that this practice

climatic conditions. The subsoil OF this

some Industrious fellow has calculated

room enough for al who can hope for
admlttance, Taking for his text this
verse In Revelation: And he measured
the city with the reed 1900 furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the
height OF II are equal" he concludes
that this represents a space of 4G9, 49,
OSS,OOO 900 900 cubic feet. He then
makes proper allowance for streets and
divides the remaining space into good
sized rooms. He further supposes that
the earth has S,297 ,OOOO 900 inhabitants
every century for hundred thousand
years, and finally reaches the conclu-
sion that II 100 worlds Of the same slse
and duration, and containing the same
number Of inhabitants should send to
