THE TRIUMPH OF A NEW IDEA

1t has been a subject of comment that
the usual features of the Sunday news
papers showed too little variety. A
recent departure in Sunday journalism
has met with popular recognition and
approval. The great illustrated weeklies
and monthlies no longer have a monop-
oily OF the periodical field.
Conan Doyle received $4,000 for the
American serial rights of his last story,
the highest price ever paid for similar
rights: Anthony Hope, Jack London,
Sewell Ford and many other popular
novelists contribute to the publication
which set the pace by paying this record
price. Celebrated men and women
write constantly for it on all subjects of
timely interest. Clever verse, wit,
humor and interesting miscellany COM
plete a most interesting table of con-
tents. 1t is profusely illustrated by the
leading artists In fact, the Sunday
Magazine of The Rccord-Herald main
tains the highest standard of periodical
literature throughout. 1t gets the best
at whatever cost.

Presence of mind Is quality much
talked of, much honored and little Gull
tivated. Yet, like most other good
things in the world it requires cultiva-
ton to bring 1t to any degree of per-
lection, for in very few cases Is 1t a
natural gift. Some people there are
doubtless to whom 1t comes naturally
and by instinct to do the right things
lat the right time and place, but they
are few in number. Then, again, some
people are by nature cooler headed
than their neighbors and do not shout
or otherwise become useless just when
their services are required. But this
quiet composure, though very valuable,
lis not quite the same thing as presence
of mind. The latter consist not only in
having your wits ready for use, but in
knowing how to use them and being
sufficiently calm and steady in mind to
remember and turn to- account that
knowledge. From the earliest posi-
BILE age children should be taught self
control and the instinct Of trying to
remedy any mistake or accident they
may encounter.

Can You Count a Billions

The following remarkable calculation
on the length Of time which it would
take person to count OO0,000,OOO ap-
peared in the English Mathematician:
What is a billion? The reply Is simple.
In England a billion is million times
a million. This is quickly written and
quicker still pronounced, but no man Is
able to count it, You will count 100 or
ITO minute, but let US suppose that
you go up as high as 200 minute, hour
after hour. At that rate you would
count 10000 an hour, 288G00 day or
105, 100000 in year. Let us suppose
now that Adam, at the beginning Of his
existence, had begun to count, had con-
tinued to do so and was counting STILL
Had such a thing been possible he
would not yet have finished the task
Of counting billion. To count a bill
lion would require person to count
200 minute for, a period of 0,512
years 542 days 5 hours 20 minutes,
provided that he should count con-
tinuously, But suppose we allow the
counter twelve hours daily for rest,
eating and sleeping. Then he would
need 1S,025 years $40 days 10 hours IS
minutes in which to complete the task.

Sam Davis Of Nevada once made a
wager that he could successfully iml-
tate the style Of any living or dead
poet and do it SO thoroughly that the
difference was not discernible and that
the public, the press and the critics
would not detect the fraud. AS re-
suit he wrote "Binley and 49," to which
he signed r: Bret Harte's name The
fake was put out in publication
known as the Open Letter. 1t describ-

Its authorship. The poem has since
