A statistician has learned that the annual aggregate circulation of the papers of the world, is calculated to be 12,000,000,000 copies. To grasp any idea of this magnitude, wo may state, says the New Zealand Herald, that it would cover no fewer than 10,150 square miles of surface; that it is printed on 781,250 tons of paper; nnd, further, that if the number, 12,000,000,000, represented, instead of copies, seconds, it would lake over dill) years for them to elapse. In lieu of this arrangement, wo might press awl pile them vertically upward to gradually reach our highest mountains; topping ill these and even the highest Alps, the pile would roach the mngniliccnt altitude of 490, or in round numbers 500 miles. Calculating that Ihe average man spends live minutes rending his paper in the day, itliis is a very low estimate), we find that the people of the world altogether annually occupy time equivalent to 100,000 years reading Ihc papers.
