Newspapers of To-Day.

People generally, and even those
who may be termed steady readers
and close observers, have but faint
conception of the magnitude and in
ffuence the press of this country has
attained. From a careful examina-
ton of the advance pages of the 1885
edition of the american Newspaper
Directory, issued May 1st, by George
2. Powell & Co., of New York, it APP
pears that there are IA, 147 newspapers
and periodicals published in the United
Statesand Canada; of these the United
States has 1878, an average of one
paper for every 1867 persons. In
1884 the total number of newspapers
was less than by 1923 than at present,
and while the gain this year is not so
marked as in some previous years, it
is still considerable. Kansas shows the
greatest increase, the number being
78 while Illinois follows with a gam OF
~. 1t is curious to notice that New
York, the scene of so much political
activity during the last campaign,
should have only about one-thlrd as
many new papers us the state of Penn
sylVania. As an index to the compar-
alive growth and prosperity of differ
ent sections of the country, especially
the Territories, the number of new pa
pers forms an interesting study, and
may well occupy the attention of the
curious.

4 Large Load of Logs.

Some time ago Harper's Weekly drew
some unfavorable comment to itself by
a cut purporting to represent load Of
fourteen logs loaded in one Of the Wis
consin timber camps. It was said by
the untrayeled fastener, who had been
taught that one log was big load for
team, that no team could STIR such
load, even if it could be made up. The
present issue of the Weekly vindicates
its former statement. In a half. page
cut of Michigan lumber scenery it gives
a load of twenty logs with the driver
perched on the top Of the pile. appar-
emily on level with the surrounding
tree tops. The letter which ae-
companies the photograph from which
the illustration was taken states that the
load was made up in one of the numer-
Gus camps of the Gratwick, Smith &
Fryer Lumber Company Of Tonawanda.
The logs were sixteen feet long and seal
ed IA, 595 feet, board measure. It was
banled, four miles and banked in Otsego
Lake, Michigan. It is reckoned the
largest load of pine logs ever handled
BY one team.

Waste OF Bullets in War.

Our readers may have seen or heard
the statement that it takes a soldiers
weight of lead to kill him in battle.
and they may have considered it to be
merely rhetorical hyperboIe, sug.
gested by the obvious fact that com
paratlvely few out of the whole num-
Der OF shots in war take effect. It
seems, however, that the assertion,
which originated with the famous
Marshal SAKE, was proved by Cassen-
dl. after careful mathematical calcu-
lation, to be exaggeration, and. with
all the improvements that have been
made in muskets and in the art of
using them effectively, it is still not
far from the truth. At the battle of
Solferino a comparison of the number
of shots fired on the Austrian side with
the number killed and wounded on
the part OF the enemy shows that seven
hundred bullets were expended for
each man wounded, and 1900 for each
one killed. Now, as the average weight
OF the ball used was thirty grams, it
must have required at least 1875 kilo-
grams, or about 277 pounds of lead, to
kill a man. In the Franco Prussian war
the slaughter caused by the needle
gun among the French shows how
much superior that firearm was to the
Austrian carabine; but about 1890
shots were required then to accom-
plish the destruction of single sol
der. It is found in practice that a
great majority of the wasted bullets
60 over the heads of the enemy; hence
resort Is sometimes had to the expe-
dent OF pressing down, by means of
q stat. the muskets of q platoon Of
men about to fire; sergeant being
detailed for the service. When the
shots are aimed at an isolated soldier,

who Witnessed the performance, a
French company of chasseurs fired for
q quarter Of an hour at German
mounted sentry posted on hillock
about three, hundred yards Off. Full
four hundred shots were fred before
either man or horse was hit. A. really

A Strange Murder.

A paper calico, Nature, published in
Paris, has picked up story almost
eclipsing that of the cock and bull, for
which it cites as an authority the
director of a glass factory in the dis
trict of Aniche. This gentleman had
a dog, and this dog was turned out to
play with other dogs in the open field
behind the factory. 1t was the time of
hard weather, shortly after the recent
snow-storm, and the dog, which was
a rough-haired terrier, had not finish
ed his gambol when he was attacked
by a whole flock of birds, described by
the paper as crows. By this, probably,
rocks are meant, for the crow, as Var
rell informs us, is solitary bird found
only alone or in pairs, whereas the
glass manufacturer writes that there
were one hundred of the black birds
in question in the field where the dog
was, out of which only about thirty
Joined in the onslaug ht. However,
the battle, once began, proved a very
one-sided affair, half the attacking
squadron keeping in front of the
wretched quadruped and the other
half behind him or on the flank. The
former, lowering at a height Of about
six feet, made dashes from time to
time at the head of their victim, aim
ing their beaks at his eyes and at
particular spot in his neck, where they
soon established an open wound.
The unfortunate beast, who in vain
attempted to fee. would have actually
been picked to pieces on the spot had
he not been carried off by q boy who
came to the rescue and brought him
home in his arms. while the detach-
ment of prosecutors lowered with
angry movements overhead. The
dogs life was saved for the time, but
the narrator adds that day or two
afterward his wounds became 80 dam
gerous that he was obliged to have tho
poor wretch executed. After this We
nav expect soon to hear OF fox as-
saulted and done to death by con-
fraternity of geese--Lo,ado's Glods.

STOCK SwINDLING.
A Scheme Whereby Mutual Union Tele.
graph Stock Took an Advance.

n SCneme whereby MUTUAL Union Iele-
graph Stock Took an Advance.
New YORK, April 13.-A very sharp
swindle was developed to-day in the stock
market in Mutual Union telegraph stock.
This stock is being converted into New
York Mutual Union. with Which company
it is being merged, and there are only 1917
shares of the Mutual Union still outstand-
ing. A week or so ago letters were re-
ceived by a dozen or more brokerage
houses with orders to sell Mutual Union,
the orders being accompanied by checks
for margins, which checks are now pre-
sumed to be worthless, and also accompa-
MED by stop orders" at two or three
points in advance. A good many brokers
were induced to sell stock short on the
orders. To-day the stock began to advance
being presumably bid up by the same I'M
known parties who had sold the stock
short. The brokers who had sold short
for their supposed clients tried to buy in
at the stop order figures, but found
there was no stock to be had. They kept
bidding, however, and ran the stock up
fourteen points on themselves. Tuesday
the stock was 1917. To-day it sold at
thirty-one. Measures have been taken by
the stock exchange for an investigation.
