THERE is a demand for another of

II is about as difficult TO run a

they have abandoned the attempt.
The effort to get the team together

the announcement that the thing

something to do with the failure to

THE c0Sr OF WARS.
Conflicts OF the Past Century Have Cost
Nearly $50, 900, 900, 900.

A writer in the home Magazine
estimates the cost OF wars of the nine
tenth centary to nearly reach the
enormous tsum of $40, 600, 600, 600
Just how much is billion? be asks.
1t is one thousand millions; but that
fact is not expressive. There are only
3, 155, 673, 900 seconds in century,
that is, six dollars have been spent on
war for every second Of the century.
II we take Archbishop Usher's ehron-
ology, and consider the world to BIO
5, 904 years old, we tiud that the Ma
tions have spent on war during the
nineteenth century at the rate Of six
dollars minute since the creation.
The most costly building In the
world is the Church OF San pietro IN
Naticauo, known TO us as st. Peters,
Rome. 1t has cost not less than $40,
600, 900 since It's foundation stone was
laid, yet nearly 300 other churches of
equal cost could be built out of what
the world has spent on wars during
the nineteenth century. The costliest
building In this country is the phila-
dtipiffo upl1 WulCu
sents nearly $40, 600, 900 yet nearly 700
copies Of this great pile could be erect
ed out OF the money spent on war dur
ing the last hundred years. The
world spends upwards OF $500, 600, 900
a year on education. Ii it spent 81
times as much 1t would not equal the
war expenses Of the past century. The
population OF the world is estimated
at |, 100000, 900; the money spent on
war between 1901 and 1900 would
give to each man, woman and child
alive to-day more than $l3. as pocket
money.
If a man counted 200 minute for
10 hours day, six days week, he
would have counted one million in s
days, hours and SO minutes. At
the same rate be would need s,333
days, 3 hours, and 20 minutes to count
one billion, or 20 years, 1875 days, )
hours and so minutes, not counting
Sundays. To count twenty billions
would take 532 years, 1850 days, 6 hours
and 40 minutes.
