What Is a Billion2

Or. rather, what conception can we
form of such a quantity? We may say
that a billion is a million of millions,
and can easily represent it thus:
1000, 600. 100000. But schoolboy's call
culation will show how entirely the
mind is incapable of conceiving such
numbers. If a person We're able 70
count at the rate of 200 in minute,
and to work without intermission IL
hours in the day. he would take to
count a billion 6,944s444 days, or 1926
years S19 days. There are living crea-
lures so minute that a hundred millions
of them might be comprehended in the
space OF a cubic inch. They are sup
piled with organs and tissues, nour-
ished by circulating fluids, which must
consist of parts or atoms, in reckoning
the size of which we must speak, not
of billions, but perchance of billions
of billions. And what is a billion of
billions? The number is quadrillion,
and can easily be represented thus:
900, 000, 900. 900, o00. 900. 100000, and the
same schoolboys calculation may be
employed to show that to count qua
would require all the inhabitants OF
the globe, supposing them to be a
thousand millions. to count incessantly
for 19,025,S75 years. or more than 1000
times the period during which the hu.
man race has been supposed to be in
existence.

A FAMILY CHAT WITH THE JUNIORS

In spite of the fact that It was a
holiday season, during which they
could Iegitimately consider them
selves absoIFed frem every form OF
work, the juniors have been exceed
ingIy industrious during the last
week, as will be seen By the large
number Of interesting stories which
are published today on the second
page. This page proves two things:
First, the interest which the juniors
take in The Junior Call. and second,
that the subject which the Junior
Call has selected for its present
writer's contest is a very popular
one. All boys and girls like dogs.
and iHdging from the tone of the dog
stories thus far received regard the
dog as the best possible kind of a
plRyfe1OH, the dearest kind of a
friend and a most affectiOnate guard
ian, and this spirit so plainly mani
tested by the children is simply de-
lightful. 1t Is 4 fOregOne cOncIu-
sion that this contest is geing to be
highly successful.

He Is gone on the mountain,
He is lost TO the forest.
Like summer dried fountain,
When our need was the sorest.
When the font reappearing,
From the raindrops shall borrow,
But to us comes no cheering,
To Duncan no morrow.
The hand of the reaper
Takes the ears that are hoary,
But the voice Of the weeper
Walls manhood in glory
The autumn winds rushing,
Watt the leaves that are serest,
But our flower was in flushing,
When blighting was nearest
Fleet foot on the correi.
Sage counsel incumber,

How sound is thy slumber,
Like the dew on the mouatain,
Like the foam on the river.
Like the bubble on the fountain,
Thou art gone, and for ever.

WITH THE SHORT STORY
A w Wonderful Doll

TO be a doll in a Spanish family Is
] to occupy a very important place;
and very often when one pays a visit
in Madrid one finds the doll in the
drawing room beautifully dressed ac-
cording to the season. This is the case
with Sara, the delightful doll to which
wish to introduce YOU Really the
pretty salon of the charming wife OF
the far famed writer, Senior Don Palacio
Valdes, would look quite empty with
out Sara. the perfectly dressed flaxen
curled doll of the lady standing or
sitting in some pretty attitude. Sara
has sweet face. and her continual
smile sets off her pretty hats and bon
nets. Sonora Valdes, the owner Of the
doll had lot of her own hair cut of
for her, and a barber made it into
beautiful curls and put them on the
dolls head.
AS Sara is never cross, the servants
are very fond OF her, and the one who
calls herself her nurse takes quite a
pride in seeing that her little charge is
tidy and ready for visitors when they
are shown into the drawing room.

ProcrastinatiOn

Take thy time while time is lent thee;
Creeping snails have weakest force:
Fly thy fault. lest thou repent thee;

Lingering laoors come TO naught.
Hoist up sail while gale doth last:
Tide and wind wait no mans pleas

Seek not time when time is past:
Sober speed is wisdom's leisure;
Afterwits are dearly bought.
Let thy forewit guide thy thought.

Fake thou hold upon his forehead;
When he flies he turns no more.
And behind his scalp is naked.

Long demurs breed new delays.

Confession,

Prominent men realize the importance of
the city sending good men to the Legisla-
ture, but few seem willing to become can
didates.-Baltmore SIM.
That has been the case, confessedly is
the case, and with more representation
there is no assurance that good men"
will correspondlngly multiply for the
legislative office.
The fact is, the counties, habitually
sending comparatively better men to the
Legislature than the city, are protection
rather than an injury to the latter.
There are legislative contingencies
under which the city may we'll use the

But how vain a plea SO ptiful with

One Ticket in the Field.

The result, briefly stated, will be seen
in reading the following ticket:

For Baaif-Frank Spates
For Njyht PoijccD,an- Cornelius Bahen.

Disagreement

Either Mr.. Devecmon is grossly wrong
or H. f. Flack, reported by the Balt-
more SIM, is "otf as "a s!atisticiln.'
Mr. Devecmon furnishes official figure,
to show that Baltimore receives over | =
million dollars annually from the State.
Mr.. FIack says nearly 100000, or a
little less than one-haIf of Mr.. Drvec-
mon 5 accounting.
Very clearly there should be some
complete statement of official figures
that will give the true beneficiary Sf"fty
of State and counties.
Meanwhile. looking at the SUMS dis
claimer of $40 600 to the Maryland peni-
Tertiary from the State as an item typical
of what the city doesn't get, we are
forced, reluctantly but surely, to the
dire conclusion that there is positively
no limit to the range and resources of
fiction
