MAGNITUDE Of n 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 round
black wafer or circle is placed, little
overlapping the square, thus leaving
an equal amount of white space be-
tween the black spots. At each tenth
spot a 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, million
spots, and they would occupy space
450 feet long In one row or ninety
feet long in five rows, so that they
would entirely cover the walls Of n
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

An lronclad of 1886.

1t 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 800 years ago. During the ia
nous siege of Antwerp by the Span
iards in 1885. says j. r. Hale in ga
nous Sea Fights" the people of the
city built n huge fiat bottomed war
ship, armed with heavy iron plates,
which they named the Finis Bell, n
bOastful expression of the hope that
she would end the war. An old print
of the Finis Relli shows four masted
ship with a 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 Belli as a curiosity till the
end of the siege.

breeze behind him, have the little ras-

The Moves In Chess.

In the number of possible moves
chess stands alone among games, and
not only is it perfectly safe to say that
no living man has ever made even
once every possible move, but it is
highly improbable that in all the cen.
turtles of the history of the game has
every possible move been made. The
different ways of playing the first four
moves on each side are so numerous
that If every man, woman and child
in a city Of half million population
were to set to work playing them at
the rate of four moves a minute night
and day it would be more than a year
before any one would be able to leave
the chessboard.

How Clouds Are Colored.

The color of cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls
upon ii and the position of the OBJ
server 1t will be noticed that high
clouds are always white or light in
color, and this is because the light by
which they are seen is reflected from
the under surface by the numberless
drops Of moisture which go to form
the cloud. Heavy rain clouds. on the
other hand, are found much nearer the
earth, and so the light falls on them
more directly from above. giving a
silver lining to the cloud, though the
under surface appears black, owing
to the complete reflection and absorb
ton of the light by the upper layers.
Seen from above by an observer In

pear of the most dazzling brilliant
