THEY PUZZLE GREAT MINDS

A.-The writer of this question must

twenty-five trllion miles Write row
of units HILL. to the star and let
each unit represent one mile; then the
distance represented by line of Is
twenty-five triIion miles long. sub
merges all human powers of imagina-
ton But write row of 222222.. twen-
ty-fivc trillion miles long; then the
number Of miles represented would be
twice as great. Then write row, Of
909099... equally long, and the distance
expressed would be nine times as great
as that represented by the rs.
But no human can think of the dis
lance expressed by the is. Let the
first row of figures extend twenty five
triliOn or fifty or a thousand trillion
miles to the east then a row could be
extended toward the west. Many mil
lions of years would be required to
write the long rows. Suppose that
you write 9's both ways during thou
sand million years each Then the dis
tance in miles would be thinner than
a spiders thread when compared to
an infinite distance.
