REAL MEANING OF MILLION
Some Figures Given That May Give
Significance to Greatly Used
Term-Distance to Sun.

We think and do things in millions
these days. yet. though we are accus-
toned to employ the term lightly. the
Significance of the word million" is
really hard to grasp.
II has been estimated that 100000
persons assembled In a crowd. with
| due allowance of, say, three square
feet person. would cover an area OF
| 6S.S acres. or. to put 1t more conven-
| iently. let us say 10 acres; or II could
be contained In square having sides
SITS yards long. Or. again. allowing
| 18 inches to each person. standing
shoulder to shoulder. 100000 indi-
viduals would extend a distance of
2S4.1 miles. The population OF Lon
don amounts. roughly speaking, to
6,549 900. Allowing Is inches TO each
person. shoulder to shoulder. this hu-
man aggregation would constitute a
wall 1850 miles long.
In astronomical calculation 1t Is
most difficult to grasp the meaning of
millions of miles, but some idea in
this connection may be gathered from
the statement of the time that would
| be consumed by an express train or
the shot from cannon to cover celes-
tial space.
Now. the distance from the earth
to the sun is about 92.000.000 miles.
and light travelling from the solar lum-
mary comes to use at the rate OF 1885,
| TOO miles a second. II traverses this
distance In S1z minutes. but rail-
way train proceeding at 60 miles an
hour. would take IT'S years to cover
the distance to the sun.
The circumference of the eclipse
forming the orbit OF the earth round
the sun is about 577 100000 miles in
length. and the earth covers this dis
tance In 365A days, travelling at the
rate of 65.910 miles an hour. 1..0ss
miles minute. or nearly 1.100 times
as fast as a train going at one mile
a minute It is therefore clear that a
train proceeding at this speed would
require nearly 100 years to accom-
plish the journey around the earth's
orbit.
According to high authority. the We
locity OF rife bullet is something
like 2,130 feet second. or 24.2 miles
a minute, and that Of the projectiles
weighing $50 pounds from quick fir-
ing gun is about 5000 feet second.
