Wealth of the World.

What is the world worth? No stat
istician, SO far as We know, has ever
attempted to estimate it. Mulhall cs'
Inmates the wealth of fifteen nations.
According to his estimate, which is
largely compilation of statistical in
formation, the United States is the
wealthiest nation in the world, being
ahead OF Great Britain by about 40
per cent of the latter's wealth.
According to Mulhall, the United
States, Great Britain, France, Ger,
many, Ru sia. Austria, Italy, Spain,
Australia, Belgium, Holland, Canada,
Argentina, Sweden and Roumania have
acombined wealth OF $2S7, 756, 600, 900.
OF this amount nearly one-fourth is
accredited to the United States. These
countries have o combined population
Of 400, 100000 in round numbers, or
only one-fourth of the population OF
The world. They probably have far
more than half its wealth.
While the United States is rated aa
the richest nation, it is only 80 because
Great Britain's colonies are counted
as separate nations. Great Britain,
Australia and Canada, with only 5O,'
900, 600 people of the British empire
cut of total of $50, 100000, have o
property valuation of $5S, 900, 600, 900,
against s64, 600, 600, 900 for the 63,.
O0O, 900 people of the United States.
The remaining 800, 900, OC0 subjects oi
the British empire are probably rich
enough to carry the wealth Of the EN-
pire beyond 100000, 600, 600. -E1'

FOUNDATION FOR A s1Lo.


The foundation for a silo must be
perfectly air tight or it will be of no
use, the entrance of air into the CON.
tents being wholly destructive to the
ensilage. This is thus the most i'm
portant part of the structure, and must
be most carefully made. AS TINS:
The formulation is laid in cement and
should lie of brick or good stone or
concrete. 1t is built in this shape:
The studding insi lie and the inner
lining are not shown. The sill is ten
by six inches. This gives space Of
ten inches between the inside and the
outside wallis. The surface of the
ground is levelei down to the solid
earth, the foundation for tho wall il
dug out foot or more, and the wall
laid up as shown, to foot above the
surface. The floor is then cemented
over with three inches OF concrete,
and this is carried up on TO the wall,
the sill being bedded in it to make
this part completely dir and water
tight. The studs are covered outside
with dressed siding, lad On tarreo
paper, and the inside is lined with
matched stuff, also en- tnrred lining
paper. This makes perfectly all
tight wall, and consequently frost
proof as we'll. Or the inside lining
may be doubled, with The airproo.
