How Much Is n BllIionr

To AN Englishman the billion -d0llai
steel corporation was impossible. for
to him "A billion meant a million mil
lion, That was the original meaning
Of the word. and II slill prevails Ia
England. A billion was q million
squared. and In the days when mum
bcrs were pointed on in periods Of six,
was written l,0OOOOO. 100000. A trilli0n
Was a million 10 the third pOwer-with
~ ciphers. When It became the fash
ion 10 divide numbers into periods OF
three places. the word billion came To
the meaning which It has now N
America and on the continent Of Eu-
rope. Only the Engllshran refuses Ia
change. II is necessary To understand
his difference which divides the two
English ~speaking nations. for a mar

A HEN.
Laid Hard Boiled Eggs-Evidence In
Prima Facie and Folks Are
Astonishcd.

From an occurrence al R%iverhead
l.. L., 1t would seem as though the
town had "A hen that lays hard-boiled
eggs. This Is n peculiar state OF at
fairs that developed at "A loca! gro
Gerry. IL seems hard to believe, but
there Is a considerable amount of truth
in the statcmcnt-at least there seems
TO be.
A woman who run a boarding house
purchased a dozen eggs at one of the
village grocery stores. They wcr3
taken home in the bag in which they
were placed. and the woman wanted
10 fry some for lunch, one was taken
from the bag and cracked into a dish.
IL was all right. The ncx one taken
from the bag was cracked, but II re-
fused 10 run" Investigation showed
hat II was hard boiled, and apparent
~ very fresh.
The good boarding mistress was
completely ~astounded. and could hard
" believe her eyes. But there was tho
proof, as plain as plain could be. The
egg was passed around for n number Of
people to- iOol; ~. and the proof thai
II was boiled was conclusive.
II Is possible hat durinG the excess
hivcly cold weather OF the past week
some Of The farmers in this vicinity,
fed hot bran mash with cayenne pep
per III II Gas many people are In tho
habit Of doing In the winter, To make
the hens lay better during the cold
weather and high prices, and the egg
became boiled in this way No other
satisfactory explanation Is NJ hand.
At any rate there must be one astpund-
ing hen In itiVcrhead. and II she can
be located her fortune " made.
