Large Receipts for the Government In
January.

Government accounts for the month of
January continue the favorable showing
made for the preceding month The treas
ury receipts amounted to S4S, 012, 1914, an
increase of over Sl,20O,000 as com
pared with the preceding month and
of over 100000 as compared with
the corresponding month OF the pre-
ceding year OF the total receipts those
from customs showed the largest gain as
compared with year ago, the amount of
increase being about double that shown in
the case Of internal revenue. The expend.
itures for the month amounted to $50,
189, 096. This represented a decrease of
over $1l, 900, 900 as compared with Janu-
airy, 1899. The heaviest item of decrease is
one of about$9, 800, 900 In the expenditures
for the war department. There was de-
crease of about 81 900, 900 in the payments
on account of interest and an increase OF
about 81 ,220,0 900 in the civil and miscella-
neous expenditures. The other changes
were small in amount. On the face of
this showing there was an excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures amounting to S..
SOC, 900. This is well above the average
for the portion of the fiscal year which has
already elapsed.

The War In south Africa.

Great Britain may well be amazed at the
extraordinary force required to fight the
Beers in South Africa No less than 213.-
900 men and ASP guns have been gathered
for the war, although the Beers are not
supposed to number more than 10000. OF
these 2l3,0O0 men 10000 have already
been lost in battle and 10000 more are
locked up in Ladysmith. There are be-
sides II, 900 atloat, leaving 10000 available
for action. But large force must be kept
at Cape Town and other parts Of Cape Col
ony TO prevent an uprising of the Dutch,
who greatly outnumber the British even in
the British colony, so that from the present
force, not more than 100000 can be put on
the firing line. Winston Churchill, who
had some experience with the Beers while
he was their prisoner verifies the Boer es-
innate that one Boer is equal TO from three
TO five British soldiers when he is fighting
on the defence in his own country. II the
Beers have 10000 men all told they can
probably put 70, 200 on the firing line and
force Of 100000 British is not strong
enough TO overcome them.
1t is now reported that Gen. Roberts has
called for 10000 more men, and that the
cabinet is about to send him 80. 600 militia
and volunteers, and 10000 militia reserves.
This would raise the army in South Africa
TO nearly 100000 men. The magnitude
OF the war which Chamberlain so lightly
precipitated may be judged by compar-
sons. England sent $4,000 men to the
Crimea; Wellington had only $1,000 at
Waterloo.
President Kruger said at the outset that
the civilized world would be astonished at
the cost Of war for the conquest of the
Beers, and Great Britain has already been
astonished. Moreover, there are some
competent military critics who are becom-
ing alarmed because of the unprepared-
ness of England for self-defence. Not only
have her soldiers been sent to South Africa,
but many of her guns have been taken
from the home defences TO supply the
demands for artillery in Natal. What
would happen then If England should be-
come involved in war with France? Her
navy, if not too much scattered, might
prevent an invasion, but it would be the
policy of her enemy TO force an entrance
TO British soil at almost any cost, knowing
that once landed he would find her almost
defenceless. The danger Of such invasion
is very remote, but it is nevertheless q
danger that has heretofore been recognized
| by the government itself, and that has been
| increased ten fold by the stripping of hel
forts aud garrisons in order to sustain the
war in South Africa. - Philadelphia Ledger

New Roller Boat.

John w. Thompson of Greenfield has in
vented roller boat, which he expects will
revolutionize ocean travel. A working
model of the invention was forwarded to
E G. Preston, secretary of the chamber of
commerce in Boston recently, together
with diagrams relating to the boat.
The vessel is supported in the water as
we'll as propelled by the action of a number
of cylinders, hollow or solid, which serve to
buoy up the vessel. In the model these
cylinders are made of cork. The body, or
hull. of the model is built in such form
that it is wholly or partly supported on the
water by a suitable number of buoys and
operated by sprocket wheels and chains by
means of which the vessel is rolled forward
over the water, it is claimed, with marvel
lous rapidity.
