MAGNITUDE of n Million.

Magnitude Of Million.
In some public schools where large
halls are available an effort has been
made to realize the meaning of mil
lion. They secure 100 large sheets Of
paper, each about four feet six inches
square. ruled in quarter inch squares
In each alternate square a round
black wafer or circle Is placed, a little
overlapping the square, thus leaving
an equal amount of white space be-
tween the black spots. At each tenth
spot double width is left SO as to
separate each hundred spots, ten by
ten. Each sheet then holds 10000
spots, each horizontal or vertical row
containing 1000. One hundred such
sheets contain, Of course, a million
spots, and they would occupy space
$50 feet long In one row or ninety
feet long in five rows, so that they
would entirely cover the walls Of a
room about thirty feet square and
twenty-five feet high from floor to
ceiling, allowing space for doors, but
not for windows. The Bible from
Genesis to Revelation Is supposed to
contain 100000 letters. If every let
ter in the Bible were a dollar it would

An Ironclad Of 1885.

It is generally supposed that the
first use Of armor for battleships was
during the Crimean war. As matter
Of fact, the Dutch claim to have been
the pioneers Of ironclad building more
than 300 years ago. During the IA
nous siege of Antwerp by the Span
1ards in 1856, says J. r. Hale in ga
nous Sea Fights" the people Of the
city built huge fat bottomed war
ship, armed with heavy iron plates,
which they named the Finis Beln, q
boastful expression of the hope that
she would end the war. An old print
of the Finis Beln shows four masted
ship with high poop. But the yes
sci steered badly and eventually ran
aground under the Spanish batteries
and fell into the hands Of their com.
mander, the Duke Of Parma. He kept
the Finis Beli as a curiosity till the
end Of the siege.

Judge Weller Of San Francisco H.

back to the farm and the simple life.
This n the word of tho big left
handler himself. On the way to the
ground one day recently he and Jack
Coombs were talking about the strain
on a ball player. Both agreed that
each season, with It's worry, It's strain,
its physical wear and its mental wor-

Genius and Appetite.


Sir Francis Cation held that good
appetite is one of the attributes of
genius. Most notabilities have been
great eaters and excellent digesters on
the same principle that the furnace
which can raise more steam than is
usual for one of its size must burn
more freely and we'll than Is common"
Scott was Of the same opinion. In a
letter to Canning respecting an article
promised to the Quarterly Review he
advises him to break the neck Of it
after hearty meal, preferably of
boiled chicken" And he practiced
what he preached, for, like Tennyson,
Dickens, Thackeray and many other
nineteenth century authors, Scott was
an excellent trencherman. - London

Tho Longest Fast.

The record for fasting, so far as our
best information goes, is held by
CRANE, a French murderer, who de-
termlned to starve himself to death
and from day to day after his arrest
refused to eat. In spite Of every effort
on the part Of his keepers, who first
tried to tempt him to eat by placing
the most dainty meals in his cell and
when that failed attempted feeding
him by force, he held out for sixty
three days, at the end of which period
he died. With the exception Of CRANES
case the longest well authenticated in
stance Of fasting on record is that &C.
complished by Giovanni Succi, who
lived at the Royal Aquarium, London.
