KILLED AND WOUNDED IN ANCIENT
AND MODERN WARFARE.

At the battle of Talavera, 1909, the loss
in killed and wounded was one-eighth
OF those engaged. At Austerlitz, 1905,
it was one-seventh. At Malploquet,
1909, at Prague, 1859, and at Jena, 1906,
it was one sixth. At Friedland, 1907,
and at Waterloo, 1915, cne-tifth. At
Marengo, 1906, it amounted to one-fourth.
pAt Salamanca, 1872, out OF 10000 COM
batants 900 were killed and wounded.
At Borcdino, 1912, out of 250, 900, $4,000
fell on the two sides. At Leipsic, 1878,
the French sustained loss of one-third
of their total effective. At Preussich
Eylau, 1907, $4,000 were killed and
wounded out of combined total Of 16O,-
900 combatants, giving a loss of more
than one-third; while at Zorndorf, 1858.
the most murderous battle which history
records IN modern times, out OF $4,000
Russian and Prussian troops engaged,
81 800 were stretched upon the field at
the close Of the day. Let us now come
to more recent times. The first great
battle in which ritled firearms were used
was Solterino, 1859, and when the war
broke out it was confidently predicted
that the effects ofthe new weapon would
be trightful but the loss actually fell to
one-eleventh of those engaged. Al
Koniggratz, where, in addition to rified
weapons, one side was armed with
breech- leaders, the actual loss was fur
Their diminished to one-fifteenth. Finally
we come to the last war. in which the
proportions were: Worth, one eleventh
Gravelotte, one.twelfth, and Sedan, one
tenth. These figures may surprise many
who, not unnaturally, imagined that
improved weapons entailed increased
slaughter. 1t is not intended to imply
that battles are still not sanguinary, Du
it is incontestibie that they are much les.

HARD TINES IN ENGLAND.

Hard times, Hard times. Dizziness.
dependency, depression everywhere and
in all trades; thousands OF houses in the
West End shut up for rent furnished; ;
empty theatres idle workmen reduc-
ton of wages and shortening OF hours in
the manufacturing districts-this IS what
YOU hear or see day after day. You in
America can now sympathize with your
English cousins. Tor they are beginning
to suffer what you have SO long endured.
1t is no: rag money or initiation which
has caused the trouble here but proba-
bly, over-trad;ng and over-production
have had something to do with it. The
mill owners in the north have Tor the
most part agreed to adopt short time
beginning with Friday Of uext week the
mills are to be run only thirty-eight hours
per week-nine and half hours on
Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday, and not at all on Saturday and
Monday. This will diminish the pro-
duction by more than ono third. and it Is
hoped that thus the immense stocks
which now overburtlen the market may
be worked Oft. The initiative in this ar
rangcment has been taken by the coop
erativc or joint stock mills. and the 9th
ers were glad enough to follow suit
Some OF the employers. however. have
reduced the rate OF the wages AS we'll a

FARM AND GRANGE
A NUGGET FOR SCIENTISTS.

Mr.. Al. White, the engineer, while on
watch at the door of the Weatherford en-
gine-house about 4 o'clock yesterday
morning was startled by a sharp report
like that Of pistol, and instantly follow
ing some heavy substance tell into the
street a few feet distant. Mr.. White
searched for the mysterious missile, and
found imbedded in the hard street a pc
culiar dark stone of the appearance of
dark flint, weighing about two pounds.
The stone was broken to pieces and ex-
amined during the day by several scien-
tifc gentlemen, who pronounced it gen.
uine meteoric substance. The probable
solution is that the explosion occurred at
a greater distance than was supposed,
and that this was but small fragment OF
large aerollte.

THE NORTHAMPTON BANK ROBBERY

The famous Northampton bank robbery
of last spring is again recalled to public
attention by some fresh information
about the progress of the negotiations.
When the bank officers were in New
York recently in an interview with the
man through whom they are negotiating
tor the bonds, they expressed themselves
as dissatisfied, and wanted to know what
proof he could give that he had got the
bonds, and that he was not trying to
play game on them. He told them
that for proof he would mail to South
Hadlev man who owned some OF them,
all of his bonds that same day, and that
1.-THE man received them, that ought to
satisfy the bank folks. He also said that
the night the robbers wentupt to North
ampton they were intending to rob anoth-
er bank besides the one they did crack,
but when they got into the room over
the bank and bored hole down, they
found it would take several nights, and
they decided to take the first instead
After the bank officials returned to
Northampton they made an examination
and found hole through the floor OF the
room above tie Northampton national
as they had been told they would, an,
the South Hadley man also received hi
bonds by mail.

UNlUCKY FRIDAY.

The editor1of the Pittsburgh News has
been inquiring into the influence Of the
unlucky day notion upon steam travel.
We quote:
We remarked to conductor on the
Central road west of Syracuse on Friday
last, you nave made light train to-day,
travel must run very light. Yes he re-
piled, this is Friday carry on an aver
age $50 less passengers on this than on
other days ofthe week. Il is fact, sir,
people are superstitious. Would you
prefer to see the moon over your right
or left shoulder? Many an engineer nails
horse shoe on his engine as an omen OF
good luck; for the same reason New
England people nail a horseshoe on the
bottomof the churn to keep off1he witches
fact. sir, though they will not own it, II
is true, and every Friday on this train,
there is evidence OF the truth.

of n few days would not put him to
much inconvenience, but if he lost any
thing by the delay they would make
it good. The goods not coming, Mr..
Bentley wrote to Robinson d Co.,
which was the first information they
had of anything wrong, and upon in
curry the facts detailed above were
developed. The call at Bentley's was
evidently to delay him in writing, to
give them time to dispose of the goods.
This was known Thursday evening,
and a dispatch was sent to Paducah to
detain the goods and arrest the men
who would call for them, but the par
ties at Paducah declined to act upon
the dispatch, which they said was not
definite enough. A second dispatch
was sent, but in the meart;n the
goods had been obtained from the
depot in Paducah, sold, and the par
ties left, which was the answer sent to
the second dispatch. The detectives
are on the track of these sharpers, and
will in all probability capture them.
