reach the globe.
In demonstrating the properties of
this light before the Academy of Medi-

his lips, all the lights were turned cut

was turned on.
Immediately the boys cheeks be-

THE New York Sun has been
figuring ont the cost Of the civil
war in lives and treasure to the
government. The Sun says; "A
conventional formula frequently
employed by loose speakers and
writer's is that the wal Of the re-
bellion cost the North a million
lives and a billion Of treasure. -
By a formidable array of figures
It is shown that this popular no.
ton is grossly inaccurate. 1t is
shown that the total number of
deaths in the union army, from all
causes, during the war was but
100000 and Of this number more
than half died Of diseases. Only
about 10000 men were killed IN
battle on the northern side during
the war and about $4,000 died of
wounds received in battle. Thus
it is shown that the number of
lives lost was less than one-third
as large rs been supposed by the
masses of the people. On the
other hand it is found that the
cost Of the war was more than
$4,000, 600, 900 or more than eight
times as large as the average citi-
zen supposed it to be. OF this
vast amount there has been paid
in pensions over S1,400, 900, 900 or
considerably more than some of
the public speakers Of the country
would have us believe the entire
cost Of the wal was There has
been more of design in thus mis-
representing the actual state of
affairs in reference to the war than
ignorance. The people of this
country have been taught to be-
lieve that the cost of the war was
light when the great number of
men engaged is taken into consid-
Grafton. If a million men had
been killed and the war had cost
a billion dollars, it would have
cost a thousand dollars for every
man killed, bnt as there were less
than a third Of a million men
killed and the cost of the wal was
over eight billions it makes the
cost of the war to the government
more than $4,000 for each man
killed, or 25 times as great as the
people have been led to believe.
The pension payments look rather
large in proportion to the casual
ties in the war.

The Territorial board of Worlds
fair managers is not disposed to
allow Commissioner Mills all the
money he wants for current expen-
ses. At the last meeting which
was held last week he drew for
$1,000 but the board decided to
allow him but $1,000. 1t appears
that the business is not running
as smoothly as it might and there
is a possibility that there will be
an open rupture before the close
of the fair. The appointment of
@. H. Laidlaw by the Sierra coun-
ty board does not suit the manag-
ers in Chicago but it is more than.
probable that he will remain there
inasmuch as he was the choice of
the Sierra county people.
