It would be curious to know lio» many of your readers have brought ful ly home to their inner consciousness the real significance of that little word "billien" which I have so often seen used in your columns. There are in deed few intellects tliat can fairly grasp it and digest it as a whole, and there are doubtless many thousands who cau not appreciate its true worth,even when reduced to fragments for more easy as similation. Its arithmetic symbol is simple and without much pretension. There are no large figures—just a mod est 1 followed by a dozen ciphers, and that is all it contains. Let us briefly take a glance at it as a measure of time, distance and weight. As a measure of time I would take one second as tlie unit anil carry my self in thought through the lapse of ages back to tlie first day of tlie year 1 of ot'r era, remembering that In all those years we have 365 days and in every day just 86,400 seconds of time. Hence in returning in thought back again to this year of grace, one might have supposed that 1,11X1,000,000,000 of seconds had long since elapsed, but tliis is not so. We have not even passed one-sixteenth of that number in all these long eventful years, for it takes just 31,686 years, seventeen days, twen ty-two hours, forty-five minutes and five seconds to constitute 1,600,660,000,- 000 seconds of time. It is no easy matter to bring under tlie cognizance of I lie human eye a bil lion objects of any kind. Let us try in imagination to arange tills number for inspection and for this purpose I would select a sovereign as a familiar object, Let us put one upon tlie ground and pile upon it as many as will reach 20 feet in height. Then let us place num bers of similar columns in close contact forming a straight line and making a sort of wall twenty feet high, showing only the thin edges of the coin. Imag ine two such walls running parallel to each other and forming, as it were, a long street. We must then keep on ex tending these walls for miles, nay hun dreds of miles, and still we shall lie far short of the required number. And it is not until we have extended our im aginary street to a distance of 2388} miles that we shall have presented for inspection our 1,000,000,000,000 of coins. Or, in lieu of tliis arrangement, place them flat upon the ground, forming- a continuous line liken long golden chain witli every link in close contact. But to do this we must pass over laud and sea, mountain and valley, desert and plain, crossing tlie equator and return ing around tlie southern hemisphere, through the trackless ocean, retrace our way again across the equator, then still on and on, until we again arrive at our starting point, and when we have thus passed a golden chain around the huge bulk of the eartli we shall be but at the beginning of our task. We must drag this imaginary chain no less than 763 times around the globe. If we can further imagine all those rows of links laid closely side by side, and everyone in contact w ith its neigh bor, we shall have formed a golden band around the earth just 52 feet, six Inches wide, and this will representour 1,000,000,000,090 coins. Such a chain,if laid in a straight line would reach a fraction over 18,328,445 miles, and the weight of which, if estimated at one- fourth ounce each sovereign, would be 6,974,437 tons and would require for their transport no less than 2325 ships, each with a full cargo of 3000 tons; even then there would be a residue of 447 tons, representing 64,081,920 sovereigns. For a measure of height, let us take a much smaller uuit as our measuring rod. The sheets of paper on which the Time» is printed if laid out fiat and firmly pressed together ns in a well bound book, would represent u measure of about one-three hundred and thirty- third of an inch in thickness. Let us see how high a dense pile formed by a billion of these thirr paper leaves would reach. We must in imagination pile them vertically upward, by degrees reaching to tlie height of our tallest spires, and passing these, tlie pile must still grow higher, topping the Al[« nnd the Andes and the highest peaks of the Himalayas, and shooting up from thence through the fleecy clouds, pass beyond the confines of our attenuated atmosphere, and leap up into the blue ether with which tlie atmosphere is filled—standing proudly up far beyond the reach of all terrestial things—still pile on your thousands and millions of thin leaves, for we are only beginning to rear the mighty mass. Add millions on millions of sheets and thousands of miles on these, and still the number will lack its'.due amount. I»et us pause to look at the neat plow ed edges of the book before us. See how closely lie those thin flakes of paper; how many there are in the mere width of a span. Then turn our eyes upward —in imagination—to our mighty col umn of accumulated sheets. It now contains its appointed numlier, and our 1,000,000,000,000 of sheets of the Time» super-imposed upon each other and pressed into a compact mass, lias reach ed an altitude of 47,348 miles. Those who have taken the trouble to follow me thus far will, I think, agree with me that 1,000,000,000,000 is a fearful thing, and that few can appreciate its real value. As for quadrillions and trillions, they are simply words, mere wools, wholly incapable of adequately impressing themselves on human intel lect.

A coniession has lieen secured by an American for the construction of an electric railway between Tokio and Yo kohama, a distance of about thirty mile«. Two American engineer, a.« said to tee now on their way to Japan in connection with the matter. ■re Orowlng Scarce and Soon Will Disappear Altogether. One of the chief industries of Formo sa is the manufacture of camphor gum from tlie camphor laurel tree. It is fairly profitable work, but the difficul ties connected with It are by no means light. In the first place, the camphor laurel grows in savage places only, and the liillmen, the Hakkas, who border on that territory, have to make mone tary or other arrangements with the savage chiefs to protect or refrain from destroying tlie stoves or stills wbichtbo farmers and farm bands set up in their country. These arrangements ure, as a rule, very unsatisfactory, for as soon as trou- ble arises, no niatter what may have lieen tlie cause, they proceed witbout delay to vent their resentment en the stills, whicli are promptly de stroyed. Several foreign firms are en gaged in the trade, and their method of conducting the business is worthy of uotice. Advances are made to the lilll- nieu, ou condition that tucy set up a certain number of stoves, and supply mont lily the amount of camphor at tlie price agreed upon, and repay the ad vances by installments at certain stated periods. Bonds are entered into and securities given by tlie liillmen. As soon as the liillmen have settled all preliminaries with the savage chiefs they run up a slied or rough building, the size of which depends upon the number of stoves it is intended to con tain. If ten are to be used the building would lie twenty feet long by twelve or thirteen feet broad. In. the center of the floor nil oblong structure, some four feet high, ten feet long and six feet broad is built of sun-dried mud bricks, having five flreplaces or boles at each side, raised a foot or so above tlie floor of the room. Tlie two ends of tlie structure are sol id and without flreplaces. The latter are so built thut an earthenware pot can easily lie inserted above the Are in each hole. An earthenware cylinder connect» the mouth of each pot with the surface of the structure, or still, as it may conveniently be called. Be tween the pot and the lower end of tlie cylinder there is a round, thin piece of wood Atting both the mouth of the pot and the lower end of the cylinder, and perforated so as to allow the steam from the water in the pot to pass Into tlie cylinder during distillation. The top of each cylinder is UHually about a foot in diameter, and is level with tlie surface ot the still, Snell a still would present to the eye u mud structure, with ten round holes on the top and five fireplaces at each of the two longest sides. To complete it,how ever, ten large earthenware jars are re quired. These, during the process of distillation, are placed, inverted, on tbe top of the still immediately over the upper end of the cylinders, so as to form the eondeusers. To prevent the escape of steam from tlie condensers, bands of jute are fitted firmly between their mouths and the top of the still. Suppose, then, there is a heap of camphor wood chips at band, from which it is required to extract the cam phor. The pots are fllied with water and the cylinders with chips; the jars are in position on top of the still, and tbe firewood is lighted under tlie pots. When the water boils the steam passes up througli the perforated wood into tbe cylinders, heats and moistens the chips and ascends to the condensers, carrying with it the camphor fumes whicli the chips have given forth. The steam then condenses on tlie inside of the jars, and when the latter are re moved a layer of white camphor crys tals is found adhering to tlieui. This is brushed aft by hand and placed in baskets. The chips are then with drawn from the cylinders, fresh chips, take tlieir place, water is added to the pots, tlie condensers are again placed in |MHition, additional firewood is thrown into tbe fireplaces and distilla tion re-begins. The camphor laurel attains an enor mous height and girth ill Formosa. There is to be seen a horizontal sec tion of a stem Which was at least six feet In diameter and which at one time formed the entrance to the house of a savage chief. The doorway Is cut out of the section. It is now a trophy lie- longing to a missionary and has to lie accommodated ou the veranda of his house. Much difficulty is experienced by the liillmen in felling those forest giants, and recourse is had to firing, so as to expedite their work. Tbe tree onee felled, the branches are removed and tin- trunk sawn up into planks. Branches and planks are then set upon by a number of men, each armed with a small scoop-shaped adze, every stroke of which removes a chip about an Inch long. In time the iriant is reduced to a heap of chip«, which are treated for the camphor as described. Tbe extract re mains a grayish white powder, which, unlike tlie camphor produced in Japan, does not solidify under pnsanre. A ready market Is found for Formosan camphor, which is an important ingre dient in the manufacture of smokeless powder. Excavations in Oisseau 1e Petit, de partment of tlie Sarthe, France, have revealed a Gallo-Roman city which ap pears tn have been destroyed by an earthquake. The eity probably con tained some 30,(XX) Inhabitants, but its name Is not kne^rn Hi French history. The ruins include a great temple, part of which la still standing, also a theater and monuments. — Engineering Mining Journal. PROGRESS IN PRINTING. Stereotyping and Machine Composition Ha* Stimulated Newspaper Production. The facility witli which events are now recorded in the printed page, to lie multiplied in ’countless thousands of copies in time so brief as to be but bare ly appreciable, Illustrates the march of modern inventjou. The art of printing from movable types is something over four hundred years old; but it is only within the last thirty years tliat tlie Improvements have lieen such as to make possible marvelous work now done by modern newspapers. There were fast printing presses before 1860, presses which would turn oil’ twenty thousand copies of a paper au hour; but these presses printed direct from the type forms, for whicli the type were set by hand. The perfecting of rupid stereotyping processes, by means of which one type form would furnish duplicate plates for several presses, was effected between 18(H) and 1865. This gave rise to tlie system now in vogue of printing from an endless roll, in stead of tlie sheets being fed singly by an army of hand feeders. A far liiglier speed and a great saving in the cost of presswork were the immediate results This lowering of the cost and making possible tlie largest desired issues in the shortest time, while the news was fresh, has stimulated newspaper pro duction to a remarkable degree. Notwithstanding tlie improvements made in other departments of the prilling business,¡the typesetting—tlie work of picking up singly by hand each individual letter and character forming the printed page—has until re cently remained unchanged. Work could be hastened by employing many hands, each one putting in type a few lines, but the process was slow and ex pensive. Thus, in all descriptions of printing, the largest item in the initial cost is that of putting the work in type. That inventors have long realized the importance of improvement in this di rection lias been plain enough, some two hundred patents having been is sued from tlie United States patent office relating to typsetting and type distributing machines. But the diffi culties in the way of success have been enormous. Only two styles of ma chines have been put on tlie market of this country, and one in Europe, which have met witli some degree of success commercially for a period of fifteen years, and another and later candidate for favor is the Mergenthaler, or linotype machine. In tlie Mergen- tlialer only one operator is required, nnd the rate of speed attained probably about four times the rate of typesetting by hnnd. VOL. VI.
