These figures, it should be remem-
bered. are not for wartimes. They
are peace estimates. The Journal
thinks $lO,O0O,OO0 should be slashed
off the gigantic sum solicited by Sec
Ietary Alger. If is of the belief that
this would "stlll leave us more than
twice as much as we were accustomed
to spend ON our military establishment
before the Spanish war. Such an
amount, he thinks, ''would be ample,
with the co operation of mighty
navy, to maintain our rights in every
part of the world. Anything more
would be reckless extravagance."
The German empire has popula-
tion of S52,279,9Ol. 1t is therefore
expending about $3.50 per capita.
The United States has an estimated
population of 74,5oO,Ooo. If the adj
ministration's estimates SHOULD be
adopted, it would expend nearly So
per capita.
1t should be considered, though,
that Germany pays her soldiers
wages and salaries which would be
out OF question in the United States.
A lieutenant in the American army
is paid five times as much as a lieu
tenant in the German army, and the
pay of the men and other officers is
scheduled on about the same basis.

MILITARY BURDENS.

Some figures published by the New
York journal viii surprise those per-
sons who have imagined that the mil
itary burdens of the great powers of
Europe are of crushing weight in
comparison with the military expen-
ditures of this country.
The German naval and military
budget for 1898 80 is given in the
new Almanach de Gotha, just pub
lished. 1t shows that Germany's
expenses this year for all warlike pur-
poses, including army, navy and pen
sions, foot up as follows:

gold in Hiero's crown. He observed
that when he stepped into full
bath the quantity of water which
overfioWed was equal to the bulk Of
his body, and it occurred to him that
the worth of the crown might be
tested by such means. He thereupon
made two masses of the same weight
as the crown, one of gold, the other
of silver, and immersed them sep
arately in vessel filed to the brim,
measuring exactly the quantity Of
water that overfowed in each case.
Having found by this means what
measure of the fluid answered to the
quantity of each metal, less in the
case of the gold than of the silver
the bulk of the former being less,
weight for weight-he next immersed
the crown itself, and found that it
caused more water to overflow than
the gold, but less than the silver.
Having found the difference between
the two masses of pure gold and sill
yer, in certain known proportions, he
was able to compute the real quantity
discovered the fraud that had been
practised on the king, to whom he
hurried, exclaiming, Eureka! Eure-
ka!" (''I have found it! have found
it!') an exclamation that has ever
since been used to express exultation
over a discovery.
Coming down now to our own time,
the account Of the discovery of
saccharine, one Of the numerous by
products of the gasmaker's refuse,
whose sweetness is three hundred
times more intense than that of
cane-sugar, reads almost like a ro-
nance. Dr. Fahlberg had entered the
Johns Hopkins university in America
in order to devote himself exclusively
to study of the chemistry of coal
tar derivatives. Some months had
passed, when one evening at tea-time
he detected an intensely sweet flavor
upon his bread and butter. He traced
the sweetness to his fingers, to his
hands, and to his coat-sleeves; and
it dawned upon him that it must have
been derived from one Of the new
compounds which he had that day
succeeded in producing. He promptly
returned to-his laboratory and tasted
the contents of every vessel with
which he had been working. His
idea was correct. One of his beakers
contained the sweet material.

whom have a noble name which pre-
vents them, in their opinion, from
taking up any business land lack OF
means prevents a university course
and preparation for a learned profess
sion as well), there is only the army
For a man with small private IN
come, or as in some cases with none
at all, the army is a martyrdom, which
few outsiders would care to expert
ence. The salary of a LIST or I'd lieu
tenant is not nearly adequate for one
half of the expenses necessitated by
the position. But it is easy, fatally
easy, for an officer to borrow money;
the money-lenders come to him as
soon as he enters a new garrison and
offer their services. For they know
he needs them, and they know that
his business inexperience and his
necessity will permit them to obtain
his signature for an exorbitant rate OF
interest. The payment is sure
enough, for there are plenty of rich
girls only too eager to marry an OIL
Ger, and if not, even if the harassed
debtor turn to the pistol as last
refuge the honor of his family, his
name, requires that his debts be paid.
If no one else, then even the regiment
will come to the front, and pay up to
shield their comrade. A good trait,
perhaps, but how much better if con-
ditions were such that the last gener-
Osity we're not necessary?
Army statutes forbid a man to
marry unless he or his bride can
show just so much capital, 10000
marks, I think it is. Unless the Off
GER has private fortune, he certainly
cannot save that amount from a sal
airy not sufficient for him to live upon,
SO no choice is left him but to marry
for money. We may not be senti-
mentally inclined nowadays, but I do
think that there are many people who
do not feel that for a man to find
himself compelled to marry for
money, to sell himself. is a state of
things which is most deplorable. The
whole unhealthy atmosphere of the
profession mentally, the fighting
against debts and creditors on the one
hand, and the feeling ones self a
little tin god on the other, has re
suited in creating a class of men very
elegant to look at physically, but in
tolerant, overbearing, selfsatisfied,
and as undressing mentally as a
man can we'll be in these days of
cheapened education.
There is no class of men in Europe,
and this is a strong assertion, who are
so insolent to- women as are the Ger
man officers. While all politeness to
the women whom they consider their
social equals, their behavior in the
street is an outrage on all decency.
The coat they wear is supposed to
give them the rank of gentlemen, but
their behavior toward unprotected or
self-supporting women lacks any
thing that would show the first in
stincts of a gentleman.

SOME INVENTIONS.
Many Remarkable Results Obtained
by Accident.

An Augustinian monk, Berthold
Schwartz, having put composition
of sulphur and saltpetre in mortar,
it took fire, and the stone that COW
cred it was blown off with great VIC
lence, which accident led the chemist
to think it might be used to much
advantage in attacking fortified places,
says Chambers Journal. He &C
cordingly added to it quantity of
charcoal to render it more apt to take
fire and increase combustion.
Leaden shot are attributed to a
Bristol plumber, who, one night about
the year 1888, chad dream which
was not all a dream" that he was out
in shower Of molten lead, which fell
in the form of sphepical drops. His
curiosity being aroused, he went next
day to the top Of a church AMI
poured some melted lead into yes
sci of water lying below. To his
great delight, he found that the lead
had gathered into beautifully formed
globular balls, and he at once took
out a patent.
A Nuremberg glass-cutter happened
to let some aQuafortls fall upon his
spectacles, and noticed that the glass
was corroded and softened where the
acid had touched it. Taking the hint,
he made a liquid, then drew some
figures upon piece of glass, covered
them with varnish, applied mis- cor
roding fluid, and cut away the glass
round his drawing. When he re-
moved the varnish the figures ap-
peared raised upon a dark ground;
and etching upon glass was added to
the ornamental arts.
One day nearly 300 years ago, a
poor optician was working in his
shop in the town Of Middleburg, in
the Netherlands. His children help
ing him or amusing themselves with
the tools and objects lying about,
when suddenly his little girl ex-
claimed: ooh, papa, see how near the
steeple comes!" Anxious to learn the

she was looking through two lenses,
one held close to her eye, the other at
arms length; and calling her to his
side, he noticed that the eye lens was
i plano-convex. Taking the two glasses,
| he repeated his daughters expert
ment, and soon discovered that she
had CHANGED to hold the lenses at the
proper focus, thus producing the Won
derful effect that she observed His
quick wit saw in this a wonderful dis
covery, and he at once set about max

tube of pasteboard, in which he set

so the telescope was invented.
