Does anyone know the original source for the Borel-Kolmogorov paradox? Is it online somewhere? Kolmogorov doesn't give a precise citation. (He does list three works by Borel in his bibliography, but it is not easy for me to check them.)

Borel discusses the problem of the distribution of latitude along a meridian of longitude beginning near the bottom of page 102 of his Eléments de la théorie des probabilités, published in 1909 and accessible online here.
The references in wikipedia do not lead to an answer?
