destroying million of lives. Probably
his wars cost q billion of 10 lars. Keep
ing him a prisoner on the island of St.

lion of pounds sterling. He died and was
buried, and in 1910 his remains were taken
to France, at cost of 81 100000.

LINE AND Its CoMpouNns.-Lime oc- [

LINE AND ITS COMPOUNDs.-Lmeo oc-
ours very extensively distri uted in nature,
principal y in combination with nitric,
and sulphuric acids-as in limestone, mar
bile, chalk. gypsum. SIC. Lime is looked
upon by most chemists as being charac
teristic of the animal, rather than the
mineral kingdom of nature. Thus, the
skeletons of the vertehrated anlmals,-
those animals the bony frame work Of
which is incased in the soft structures of
the body-are composed mainly of the
phosphate of lime, whilst the testaceOus
skeletons of the invertehrated animals
are composed of the carbonate of lime,
as estimated in shell--as the nautilus,
sepia, &c The fuorde of calcium is
also found in the bones and teeth of
animals, both recent ana extinct, and it is
supposed by some chemists that the bones
of fossil or extinct animals, contain more
of this salt than those of animals now ex-
listing on earth.
All limestone rocks consists of nothing
but the aggregated skeletons of myriadS
of microscopic animals, which have lived
and died in countless numb RS, long be-
fore the historic period. So true is this,
that there is probably not ii particle of
limestone, marble, or chalk, that has not,
at some period of the history OF the world
formed a part of the skeleton of some
form of animated existence.
All Of the lime that forms constituent
part of the human skeleton has before
performed the same office in the lower
orders of animal life. Plants take It up
from the soil and hold it in solution in
their juices, and they in turn are consum-
ed by ANIMALS, and after the death of the
animal it is again returned to the mineral
kingdom, to be, in course of time, the
subject of similar mutations.
The Sphinx and Pyramids of Egypt
consists of u congeres of animal remains,
being composed of the SO called nummuli
tic limestone; this name is given to it on
account of its containing millions of uni
valve shells, termed nummulties, trorL
their resemblance t, small pieces of mo-
ney.

The word "rariff," is taken from a
fortress which is situated on the Straits
of Giberalter promontory which is ad-
mirably adapted for commanding the en-
trance of the Mediterranean Sea, and
watching the exit and entrance of al
ships. II was the custom of the MOors to
watch from this point all merchant ships
going into or coming out of the Midland
Sea; and issuing from this stronghold, to
levy a certain fixed scale of duty on all
merchandise passing in and ont of the
Straits, and this was called, from the
place where it was levied, "taria," or
ntariff," and in this way we have acqu'r"
ID the word.
