in my body and left leg forced me

But where was I? And how did ]
get there? As lay Illuminating on
these questions my eye wandered
around the apartment. All was en-

couple of guns, one Winchester.

the gentle splash of dripping water

Giants OF Old.

We are led into tangle OF thought by
the queer fact that those twelve-foot-high
giants whose skeletons were recently I'M
earthed In the Andes, as told in last Tues
days Sun, have all perished, while the four
foot dwarfs of Central America, not far from
the Andes, still live and flourish. We
can but ask few questions, which,
we trust, the dwarfs will answer when
they receive visit from our correspondent
who Is exploring Spanish America How
does It happen that the dwarfs hold their
ground till this day, while the giants are all
dead and buried? Did the giants Of the
Andes and the dwarfs near thereto fight
each other to finish, and to the extinguish-
ment of the twelve-footers by the four
footers? 1t Is possible, Did the dwarfs
march across the Isthmus of Panama to
the city OF the giants recently discovered by
Prof. GUTIERRICH, slaughter the whole OF
them, including their gigantic wives, and
then march back over the Isthnus to their
own placs' II looks that way, for the skel-
etOns Of the giants were found lying in
their gigantic city, right where they fell,
while the dwarfs still enjoy life in their
ancient homes. Why were the dwarfs
so merclless toward the giants That
has yet to be found out by SPEARS. Should
not the dwarfs have let at least one giant
and one giAntess live, carrying them back in
triumph, 50 as TO show what kind OF hair
pins they were' We think they should, but
IL appears that they thought otherwise. Did
the dwarfs eat the giants, leaving only their
bones among the gigantic ruins Of the city
Of Puraee Il is likely for the dwarfs even
yet living in Central America are charged
with cannibAlism.

was natural result under the operation OF
the existing laws. The civil war had ended
thirteen years before, and, Of course, its sur
vivors were gradually decreasing in num-
bers. In like manner the disbursements
diminished from e29, 1 ,2s9 in 1873 TO
26,s44,4t5 in 1879. Then, however, a
series Of extravagant legislative measures,
beginning with the Arrears act, carried the
rolls to the prodigious figures Of to-day.
1t Is not safe to say that the million mark
in pensioners and the s2OO, 900, 900 in pen
sions may not yet be reached. Should Con-
gress for example, pass bill pensioning
every Union soldier that served in the war,
we should see the figures mounting.
Just now there are some facts showing
that the total will go still lower next year.
One Of them Is that there were only 40, lag
new claims in 1924, against more than nine
times that number three years ago, while
most of such new claims are for increases Of
existing pensions which will add no new
names to the rolls. Another fact Is that a
great part Of the existing claims Of persons
not already on the rolls, amounting TO 2S7,-
goo, have already been examined and found
defective in certain particulars, 30 that 1t il
doubtful how many Of them will be per-
fected. 1t is ebb tide, at last, in pensions.

Ehh Tide a, Last in Pensions.

Will the million mark ON the roll OF pen
sioners, after all. he reached' Two years
ago there seemed to be very little doubt of
It. On June 80, 1890, there were 5B7, ,944
names on the roll. A year later they had
increased to 67B, 18O. Another twelve
month brought them up to s76,O6S June
80, 1898. saw them further augmented to
966,Ol2. The prospect, therefore, was that
the round ,OOO, 900 would be surpassed
in 1894. But the annual report just made
by Commissioner LOCHREN shows that there
was actually dropping on in the net num-
ber during the last fiscal year. SO that the
pension rolls carried on June 80 total Of
only $50, 544 names
That is the great fact Of this years pen
sion statistics. The tide that for so many
years has been at fOOd, has now turned and
is actually ebbing Commissioner RAUM
also thought that the maximum would
be reached somewhere about June 30, 1894,
but his figures put that maximum at 600
900, and he believed that an appropriation
Of slss, 900. 900 would have 70 be made
TO meet the additional expenditure.
