SLAIN BY WAR.

II has been computed from the very

about fourteen thousand millions Of hu-
mar being have perished in war since
the world began. This Is a number Of
which we cannot form an adequate con-
cepiion. have been trying TO get hold
Of It, but do not succeed. The number
is beyond the grasp Of my intellect. ]
cannot with my minds eye distinctly see
100000, as can 100, or a 1000, or
even 10000. Il Is equal 70 about eight
cen times the present estimated popula-
ton Of the globe. end that 10 count as
rapidly as ! can, and distinguish the
numbers one, two. three, &c, / cannot
average more than three a second. Let
any one try the experiment, and be win
fiBd ii very difficult and fatigaing to do
this for an hour together.
Now, how long woald IT take a man,

number the killed IN war. lie would
count $50 in a minute; 10000 IN an
hour 259,200 in a day 9l,e0s 900 in
