I pressed the bell. "Central," said I, "connect again 2241 and 584 B." A phantom central repeated the numbers; there was a pause, and then "Two two four one," came in a tiny voice into my ear a voice with the English sing-song the voice plainly of a gentleman.

These figures, however, did not agree with figures compiled in this country. The New York "Journal of Commerce" records only 93 ships of a total tonnage of 123,397 as having been sunk in August, 1916. The same authority also announced that in the period from August 1, 1914, to September 1, 1916, there had been destroyed, 1,584 merchant ships, aggregating 2,939,915 tons.
Never had a Roman army exhibited such wretched discipline as the force under these commanders. They had so disorganized the army that, even in the next campaign of 584, the new consul Aulus Hostilius could not think of undertaking anything serious, especially as the new admiral Lucius Hortensius showed himself to be as incapable and unprincipled as his predecessor.
The intervals between her successive reappearances in the evening sky, measured by her synodic period of 584 days, are sufficiently long to give an element of surprise and novelty to every return of so dazzling a phenomenon.

Boris Sidis; and Abnormal Psychology, by I. H. Coriat. Clinical Lectures on Mental Diseases, p. 584. Sanity and Insanity, chap. viii. The Soul of a Christian, p. 178. It should hardly need pointing out that the facts presented in the last chapter are not offered as an attempt at the to use Professor William James's expression "reinterpretation of religion as perverted sexuality."
A. B. Shepperson, of the New York Cotton Exchange, estimates the number of working spindles in the United States on September 1, 1892, at 15,200,000, an increase of 660,000 over the year 1891. The consumption of cotton by American mills in 1891 was 2,396,000 bales, and in 1892 2,584,000 bales, an increase of 188,000 bales.
In 1903 there were 9,496,000 votes cast; in 1907, 11,304,000. The German Reichstag has 397 members, or 1 representative to every 156,000 inhabitants; the United States House of Representatives has 433 members, or 1 for every 212,000 inhabitants; England, 670 members, or 1 for every 62,000; France, 584, or 1 for every 67,000; Italy, 508, or 1 for every 64,000; Austria, 516, or 1 for every 51,000.
Two foreign engineers whom he tempted into his service, first invented "shells." Stow, Chronicle, p. 584. State Papers, Vol. II. p. 237. State Papers, Vol. I. p. 446. Ibid Vol. II. p. 253. Lord Thomas Fitzgerald to Lord Leonard Grey: State Papers, Vol. II. p. 273.
If they did, there would be a transit each time that our twin-planet overtakes us in her more rapid circling that is, on an average, every 584 days. As things are actually arranged, she passes above or below the sun, except when she happens to be very near the line of intersection of the two tracks.
