CONSUMPTION OF LIFE DURING THE REIGN o3
THE EMPEROR NIcHoLAs.-The consumption oI
human life during the reign of the Einpero,
Nicholas has been enormous:
He has carried on war with the Circassiani
uninterruptedly for % years, at nm annual cosI
of 10000 lives on the Russian side alone, maj
king grand total of nearly 100000 Russians
who have perished in attempting to subdue thd
independence Of Circassia. In the two cam
paigns against Persia, as in the Hungarian CAM
paign and the two Polish campaigns of ls3l-'s2
there are not sufficient data 10 form corec,
estimate of the loss of the Russians, which was
however, in the Persian and Polish wars, enor;
nous. In the two campaigns against Turkey o.
ls2S-'29, 100000 fell; of whom, however, 5or
900 perish by the plague. The loss of the
Russians in various ways since the entry of the
Danubian Principaties is understated at 10000
In these calculations it should be borne in mind
that no estimate is attempted 10 be made of the
sacrifice of human life on the side of those who
fought for their liberties against the aggressions
of Russia.-Edinburg Advertiser.

ANCIENT INHABITANTS OF NEBRAsKA.-Onth the
Upper Missouri there exists a tract of country
known by the name of Mauvaises Terres, or bad
lands at one time, probably, the bottom Of an
immense lake, in which perished thousands of
animals having now no representatives on earhs
It appears that the waters of this immense pond
were removed by some convulsioh of nature or
other; and the sediment at the bottom became
indurated.
The portion of the valley thus excavated
form surface of ninety miles in length and
thirty in breadth: The remains Of animals
which have lived and breathed long before the
advent Of mar. on earth ars2here foand in such
abundance as to form Of this tract fmnirl5e
cemetery of vertebrate. The bones are said to
be. completely petriied, and their cavities filled
with silicious matter. They are preserved IN
various degrees of integrity, some most beanti-
fully perfect; and others broken. &
Two remarkable species of rhinoceros-the
first ever found in America-were discovered
here, and also sort of panther, smaller than
the present variety, and likewise numbersof
strange animals with long names unlike. any
thing which man ever saw alive. We know,
then, that there were once individuals in Nebras.
ka Nd curious and as strangely shaped, and as;
pugnacious as any squat!er whom the present
great rush of immigration will carry thither.

A PRAIRIE PEcULrARrrY.-A correspondent
Of the New York Post states that the consump-
tion Of wood upon the prairies in cold weathr
in the locomotives is much greater than, among.
the settlements or in the timbc5ed country, and
the amount Of steam produced much less. A
train will leave Detroit with from twenty-five.
freight cars, and from eighty to one hundred
pounds of steam. As it nears Chicago, on the.
open prairie, the steam will fall gradually to.
thirty.6ve or forty pounds; and the engines
leaving half the train, runs with the remainder
to Chicago. So, put an iron box stove, on1hs
top of the cars on the prairie, let the FIRE burn
intensely, and the surface of the stove will not
burn the hand laid upon it. 1t is a problem,
the solution of which would make the fortune
Of an inventor, how this rapid loss of heat ean
BE prevented
