is made for those who have been
wounded in battles. The total, there
fore, is perhaps not so large as might
be expected, but 1t would hardly be
fair to include the wounded, for It
must be remembered that though in
an average engagement there are near
ly ten times as many wounded as there
are killed, the greater proportion OF
quarter Of a million men sacrificed to
the wounded eventually recover.

BRITAIN'S BATTLES.
Bookkeeping Balance of Victories
and Defeats Against All oppo-
neots

In the London Royal is p. w. Ever
ett's article on Where British Battles
Have Been Fought" Since the Con-
quest England has fought no fewer
than 467 important engagements, of
which 217, or nearly one-half, have
been with the French.
Mr.. Everett continues: "It is inter-
esting to work out the percentages of
battles won and lost with each of our
principal adversaries, but at the same
time 1t is unpleasant to find that the
Beers easily top the list with the
largest proportion OF victories. In
fact, till within the last three months
the Beers have been our only oppo-
nents to win more decisive battles than
they have lost. Quite recently, how
ever the magnificent British army now
fighting in South Africa has redressed
this adverse balance and the proper
tion of Boer victories now stands we'll
below the halfway mark.
Here are the exact figures for the
six nations which have made the brav-
est show against British army:

1t is rather curious to notice that the
least civilized nations have, as a rule,
fought with the greatest success
against the British army, which fact
rather tends to emphasize the asser-
ton so frequently made during the
present war, that we are, as a nation,
slow to adapt ourselves to any novel
or unrecosnized style Of warfare.
"A glance at the map of the world
will show how widespread have been
our fields Of battle. In various parts
of South America, in the West Indies,
I'm the United States and Canada, on
the high seas, all over southern and
western Europe Especially in France
and SPAIN, in divers parts of Africa,
in southern Asia, China and right TO
New Zealand, we have carried our
arms.
France and Spain tie for the doubt
full honor of providing our most fire.

and around her coasts we have fought
20 big fights. and exactly the same
number n and around Spain.
lnuld tOIHtS H'Nl' dS tHc 0Ntic VI
80 battles; then North America with
27, the West Indies with "a, and the
Soudan with IS.
1T is interesting, in view Of our
present naval supremacy, TO note that
we have not fought a battle on the
sea since the time of Nelson, though
out of the total of 467 battles over 40
per cent. have been naval engage
ments. The exact figures are as fol-
lows: Land, 264 sea, 19l; land and
sea simultaneously l2; total, 467."
on the subject of the lives lost In
our wars, the writer has some inter-
esting things TO say. He finds that
leach engagement has cost us 200 lives
on the average; thus, including our
civil wars, and bringing the number
of important battles 10 600, we have
loss OF life. calculated by multiply
ing 500 by 600 T. e., 100000. To this
total must be added at least as many
more for minor engagements, sickness,
etc, making a grand total of 100000.

DIvERTING THE WATERS.
The Attorney ,iea~-ai Of Kansas Want.
Colorado En- joined Z ON Appropris' ing
All the Water Of the Arhansa. X yer

Topeka, Kan, April 30.-Attorney
General Goddard left for Washington
Saturday night to present to the SUI
preme court of the United States his
motion for leave to file bill in equity
on behalf OF the state of Kansas
against the state of Colorado, to en-
Join Colorado from further diverting
the waters of the Arkansas river and
its tributaries for irrigation and other
purposes. He will present his motion
with briefs to-day. This action on
the part of the attorney general is
a matter of great interest to the set
tiers in the Arkansas valley. This
river flows through 10 Kansas coun-
ties, forming valley, almost as rich
as the valley of the Nile, of 100000
acres But the state of Colorado has
for many years pursued n policy of
attempting to appropriate all the
water which should naturally come
down this valley through Kansas, and
to such an extent has this action on
the part of Colorado damaged Kansas
that Mr.. Goddard has concluded to see
whether the highest court of the
land can afford this state relief.

AN LEGENDARY FIRE.
A Determined Attempt to Destroy the Do
minion Rifle Range ut Ottawa, ONT
Ten Acres Burned Over.

Ottawa, Ont, April 3O.--A deter
mined attempt was made Saturday to
destroy the Dominion rife range. The
brush in the immediate vicinity of the
buildings was set on fire to the wind
ward, and, being of dense growth and
very dry, fierce confagration was
soon created. The militia were at
once called out, and, after a severe
fight, succeeded in getting the fire
under control. About ten acres were
burned over on this range. There be-
ing no water service in this locality,
the battle with the flames was a des-
perate one indeed. There can be no
doubt that the origin of the blaze
was incendiary.
