with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump,
Centrifugals, Elevators, Plows, Raft
ways and Hosts; also, furnish light
and power for radius of from Is to
80 miles.
Electric Power being used, saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away WITH i1igh-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill
Where water power is available it
costs nothing to generate Electric

out in mid-ocean the old elephant

knots per hour jog, and everything
was lovely. There were two men in
the party who were in love with the
same girl who was also passenger.
One was accepted and the other was
not; the latter was sore, and, in or
der to have revenge he waited until
one night when everything was still
and then he went and cut the rope
which held the elephant to the bal
loon, just as he was about to do 1t,
grasped the rope and was taken up

COST OF A WAR.
Figures are Provided by
a French Official.
Eighty Cents a Day Per Man-Arrny
of 100000 at One Time
Would Be More Now

\ former French Minister of Public
Works, VI. Jules Roche. has been count
ing up the probable cost OF a war in
which France would be compelled to
bring her immense resources into the
field. He says that in the Franco-Ger-
man war France had coo. 900 men in the
field, each OF whom cost fr. soc a day.
In the next war. taking the lowest fig
ures. he estimates that the French reg
ular army would include 1000. 900 men.
$4,000 men. Assuming that the ac-
tual figures would be only 1900. 900
men, at S IF. soc. a day per man. the
cost per day would amount To 26.iO0.-
900 +. This sum may be reduced, on
account OF the excessive cost of the
improvised armies which France raised
with so much energy in that war. 20
%, 00O. 900 or even 20.000.000 francs.
The fault with this calculation Is that
France can never maintain three mil
lion men under arms ut one time. With
all her preparation il is probable that
half that number is the maximum
strength both for garrisons and the
field. While NJ. Roche gives the
strength of her army in 1870 as 60O. 900.
We believe the number of individuals
under arms at one time or another was
100000. Still the 100000 per day
which they cost could rise easily 20
5000, 900. and would be a heavy bur-
den, and to it NJ. Roche adds 100000 :
900 as the cost OF mobilization and pre-
liminary expenses. This Is not all the
money the State would need. The saw.
ings banks had deposits OF only $780,.
000,0O in 1870. Now they have $780,.
100000, and a large part OF this would
be withdrawn. So France would hay,
to provide for a thousand or twelve
hundred million dollars If she enteret
into a continentsi war and with suct
facts in prospect he thinks her borrow.
ing capacity would not equal present
expectations.
