A Costly Sport.

When an Indian went Ton the warpath armed with a bow and a tomahawk the money cost of killing a foe in battle was but a trifle. The more civilized and ingenious men become, the higher the price paid to slaughter an enemy in war. I once quoted a Frenchman as saying that it cost $20,000 to kill one German in the Franco-Prussian war. He divided the cost of the Avar by the number .slain and so reached his result. An official report says that in one recent engagement 200,000 j shells were fired by one army in one hour. Such "Wnnonading is deadly work for an enemy and likewise devastating work for the poor taxpayer back at home who must supply the enormous sums of money required to pay for smns and shells.

When horses last but four or five days and auto trucks but a/week, when rapid-fire guns rain steady streams of millions of shot, the money cost of maintaining an army greatly exceeds that in any past war.

And so skillful have the surgeons and physicians become that they allow very few soldiers to die of disease and Wounds. That again adds to the money cost Of putting an army out of business.

Disease during the Crimean war did for nothing what costly shot and shell must do now if an army is to be routed. Thus medical science in saving life counterbalances mechanical science which invents new methods of destroying life and so piles up the cost of this sport of kings called war.-—Philadelphia Ledger.

A Great Works (Me.) man has performed with perfect safety such aerial stunts as walking across the St. John whirlpool on a wire an inch thick suspended about 200 feet above the whirlpool, but met with a serious accident by fallingfrom a ten-foot staging.

A brick chimney in an Akron (O.) house has grown up six inches in the last two years. Building inspector Gill, called to investigate, found that the chimney had been built on a tree stump that has since sprouted.
