War Is Costly.

Viewed simply from a monetary
standpoint. war is always expensive.
1t is stated on good authority that the
Napoleanic war cost England and
France not less than 50, 500, 900, 900,
and that the two years Crimean war
cost the nations concerned 81 500, 900,
900. The Franco German war in
volved an expenditure of 81 500, 900 900,
and. besides. France had to pay an
indemnity of 81 900. 900. 900. and in
addition coded Alsace Larraine, making
the total cost not less that 50, 900, 900,
900.
In this country. the estimated cost of
the War of independence is placed at
Sl35. 900. 900.
That of the late Civil War was Ss,
600 600 600 To this must be added
the interest on the debt created by the
war which, since 1861. has not been
less than 81 600, 900, 600, and the
amount paid in pensions. which ag
oregates 10 date, e. 1873, 926. r. The
GRAND total is over sl2 600. 600, 900, and
the end is not yet.
II Is now estimated that should the
nresept war continue one year the cost,
aside from loss of men and vessels.
would be not less than $500 000, 600,

THE war was expected to develop the
use of the carrier pigeon service in
communicating with ship sat sea. but so
far the system does not seem to have
been made use Of. OF II 80 the results
have not been satisfactory. Some of
the finest birds which have records
abroad were secured by the government
several months ago from the famous
pigeon cotes in Germany and distributed
among the principal stations along the
coast. Then also the balloon and the
kite with Photographic attachment
were to have cut big figure. but so
far nothing has been heard from them.
