no man is able to count It, You will
count 100 or 10 minute. but let us
suppose that you go up as nigh as 200

rate you would count $1,000 an hour,

Let us suppose now. that Adam. at the
beginning Of his existence. had begun
to count. had continued to do so and
was counting still. Had such thing
been possible he would not yet have
finished the task of counting billion.
To count billion would require a por-
son to count 200 minute for a period
of 9.512 years $40 days 5 hours 20
minutes. provided that he should count
continuously. But suppose we allow
the counter twelve hours daily for

would need 1929 years 3l9 days 10

Moors as fllthy-that is, washing our

we are washing with must necessarily
