COST OF THE WAR.

Il is now estimated that the war with
Spain cost the United States $500. 900, coo.
When 1t is taken into account that the
transportation of it's armies meant the
moving Of thousands of men across a
continent and an ocean. that an entire
system in the War Office had to be de-
the supplies purchased at rush order
prices, the spending Of this sum will be
Easily understood.
The first query will be, of course. did it
pay. and the next, from whence will the
returns come. To answer the first 1t IS
necessary only TO consider the causes
OF the war. 1t was no thought OF gain
which stirred the hearts of the Ameri-
can people. The interests of humanity
demanded that there be peace in Cuba,
where desolation reigned. 1t has come.
Attendant upon the humblinE of Spain s
power was the taking OF the Philippines
and Porto Rico. Already there are
Sisns OF the great future which must
lie before the latter. The island has
been rejuvenated- The expenses are
paid by the revenues of the country.
There are investments OF American cap

In the Philippines the solution is u

No weather belief is more absurd
that of a wet moon" and dry
moon" There is no connection be
tween the position of the moons horns
and the rainfall unless the same
weather recurs at the same time each
year, for, as Mr.. A. X Bartlett has
lately taken the trouble to explain, the
crescent moon always appears upon
its back" in spring, near the vernal
equinox, and upon it's end in au-
tumn, near the autumnal equinox. The
change of direction in which the horns
are turned depends upon the difference
in declination of the sun and moon
If the moon be further north than the
sun soon after the new, the sunlight
strikes under her, and she appears with.
her horns upturned; but if she be fur
Their south, the light reaches around
her disk to the northward, and her
horns appear nearly vertical The line
joining the two horns is always at
right angles to line joining the sun
and the moon.

Horse chestnuts contain about q per
cent. of albumen, this remarkable pro-
portion being greater than is found in
any cultivated plants, but their bitter
taste, due to the presence of about 10 per
cent. of a bitter resin, has condemned
them as unfit for food. By extracting
the bitter principle, r. Flugge, of Han
over, claims TO have made useful anoth-
er waste material. After partial roast
ing to loosen the shells, the kernels are
removed and pulverized, and the powder
is placed in At tight percolator with alco-
hol for about a week. To extract the
bitter completely, it may be necessary to
replace the fluid with fresh solvent. The
alcohol dissolves out the resin, leaving
a pleasant and nutritious meal, which
contains all the albumen and starch of
the chestnuts. and is a valuable food

A device described by NJ Rateau, of
Paris, uses the lost power of machines
worked internationally, like winding
engines, or the reversible engines of
rolling mills, and is claimed to add 500
a winding engine plant of ordinary
size. The extra apparatus consists of
low pressure reservoir and a turbine.
The reservoir has a series of basins for
collecting and carrying away the con-
densed steam. and is by its peculiar
construction made much smaller and
less expensive than an ordinary reser-
yoir. 1t makes practicable the supply
ing of continuous flow of steam to
the turbine from an intermittent
source.

250 yards long has engravings in the

made out can be recognized the horse,

The Risk Run in Publishing "Undcr-

During the few years when terror
istic" Nihilism was at it's height, when
the revolutionary party was mining rail-
road tracks over which the Gar was ex-
pected to pass, these champions Of lib
erty- scarcely managed to publish two
underground" papers. Now the number
Of revolutionary organs, more or less reg
ularly brought cut siilaer the very nose
of the gendarmes," is twelve. 1t is ad-
mitted, however, that those who take
part in the printing or. circulating Of
these papers do not run the risks which
the same sort of work involved in for
mer days. Time was when persons ar
rested in secret printing Office were SEN
fenced to long terms Of hard labor in the
Siberian mines. This, as a rule, actually
meant death, within a year or two, from
consumption, scurvy, or insanity, in a
damp, isolated dungeon in the fortress OF
Peter and Paul, or of Schlusselburg.
The men and women. therefore, who vol
unteered to set type in the revolutionary
printing establishments OF. fifteen or
hands. Having nothing to lose, they
were armed, and when raided by the
gendarmes they defended themselves des-
perately. Thus, when the police: had dis
covered the house where the organ Of
the terrorists was printed, shortly after
the assassination Of Alexander H., the
firing on both sides lasted about an hour
and half. The case is different with
