correct in the light of the battles fought in the last half century.
 The Baltimore Sun points out that in respect to losses General Bliss theory Of percentages is not entirely satisfac- tory. An army of 100000 men may suf- fer heavily, but it's percentage of loss will not indicate the extent of the dis aster as strikingIy as would be the case when a smaller army sustained severe losses. An army of 10000 men loses 4,- 900, or 20 per cent. An army of S00,000 has SO,G00 casualties in battle, or loss of only 10 per cent. of it's total strength. At Mukden the Russian loss in killed, wounded and prisoners was 107,0Oe, &C., cording to Russian reports. The Jap anese losses approximated 5000. The percentage of losses for the combined armies was not greater than 15 per cent. At the battle of the Sha river the Jap- anese claim to have buried 1S,000 Rus sian lead. The Russian losses in that battle did not exceed 14 per cent. Judg- ing from percentages alone. the losses inflicted with modern weapons do not seem to be greater than the losses in the days of the smoothbore. Yet, so far as authentic history reveals, there has been no battle equal in destructive ness and the number of men engaged to that extraordinary ten days fight at Mukden. But the percentage theory doesn't bring out this fact as satisfac- torily as might be desired.

packers use part of the horns and leg bones of the cattle slaughtered in the manufacture of various novelties. 9th erwise these materials are sold to out side concerns for that purposce. The remainder os the feet, however. with the trimmed heads and various other minor parts and trimmings, are sub Jeeted to processes of treatment by means of which tallow, glue, neatsfoot oil and other minor products are ex- tracted. The residue after such treat ment is used for fertilizer. The blood of cattle and various soft parts not containing other valuable material are also converted into fertilizers. The leading packers manufacture a great variety of commercial fertilizers, in cluding those in which phosphates and other mineral substances are combined with the animal products.
 The only remaining by-products of any importance are those derived from the intestines, which are carefully cleaned and converted into castings for sausages and other similar products. The weasand, or gullet, and the blad- der are also cleaned and made into containers for various commodities, some weasands, for instance, being used for packing snuff.-From Com missioner Garfield's Report on the Beef Industry. -,- ..-.. ,~-~. ~-

dFYBls 4 ROTAL. LOTTERY,

It is hard to beat a royal lottery, but perhaps the United States can do it. An investigation by a special agent of the Post Office department is to be made into the operations of the Royal saxony lottery in Brooklyn and Man haitian. King Frederick of Saxony is known as an old offender to the Wash ington officials who are charged with the duty of preserving the anti-lottery laws. The government has been fight ing the Kings lottery scheme for many years. Fraud order after fraud order has been issued against the various bankers and brokers who serve as his agents, yet in spite of all the efforts of the government to keep all the letters and circulars of the lottery concern out of the country. they find their way into the hands of gullible victims. During the past two days a score or more of the advertisements of the Royal Sax ony Lottery have been forwarded to the department by persons to whom they had been sent Most of these communi- cations were mailed abroad. Practical ly all of them give the firm of H. Lan- genhahn & Co.,, of Bremen, as the agent of the lottery. A fraud order was is- sued against this firm some time ago, and the postmaster at New York and other large cities notified not to issue money orders to it.
 It will be sad enough if the United States can't shut out this royal Saxony fraud and nuisance Of course we rich United States folks can afford to con- tribute to the Royal Saxony Lottery, but it is foolish to do so.

THE FAITHFUL DAY.

To-day the vessel shall be launched" !" The preliminary campaign has been both interesting and significant. Not for long time have so many and such signs Of real independence been exhib- ited in New Haven politics, Everybody seems to be independent except those who are not saying word. and it is suspected that some of them are Dem- ocrats are contending against Demo- crats, Republicans against Republic ans. What the harvest will be re- mains to be seen, although it is req sonable to suppose that the powerful and we'll directed Republican organiza- tiop, with the assistance it is able to command, will succeed in re-electing Mayor studley. Many who voted for him two years ago are going to vote against him to-day. There is no doubt about that. And had the situation been properly utilized by the political sects which are fighting each other they might have been able to successfully fight him. But if he is not reelected there will be a genuine surprise among those who have reason to think they know something about politics as she is played in New Haven.

ANCIENT AND MODERN VARS.

General Tasker Bliss, of the United States army, president of the War Col lege, is quoted as saying in a recent ad-
 dress that the percentage of loss in battles has been steadily decreasing with the perfection of the weapons of warfare, and the percentage of the present war has been less than that of any previous great conflict Wars in the past" says General Bliss" have shown losses averaging as high as 14 per cent. to the victors and 19 per cent. to the vanquished, while in fourteen battles of the present war, excluding the siege of Port Arthur, the average loss for the Russians, was 9.5 and for the Japanese 4.6 per cent" The princi- pal difference in the ancient and mod ern battle, according to the General, consists in this: "Whereas in the an- cient one the death grapple extended from end to end of the line, in a modern one large parts of the two armies are simply sparring with each other, en-
 deavoring to hold each other fast, while the whole intensity of the struggle is concentrated at perhaps one point" The latter observation is manifestly

The somewhat startling announce ment is made by the American Railway, Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association and the American Society of Civil Engineers to the effect that many of the railroad wrecks which are annually bringing death and injury to thousands of passengers and destroying millions of dollars worth of property, are due to defective rails, which are recognized by the members of both or ganizations as among the gravest dan gers to the same operation of railroads. The cause of these inferior rails is stat ed to be the desire of manufacturers to secure economical operation and an en- larged output. With view of compel ling manufacturers to provide safe rails the Engineering association has decid- cd to make change in the standard specifications for the manufacture of steel rails.

"A French writer says that the first so-called picture post cards originated during the Franco German war. At a small place in the Department of La Sarte some 4o,OO0 French soldiers had been concentrated, and some of the privates who came from the South, wanted to describe to their relatives the magnificent scenery surrounding them; however, not having time for writing long letters, they went to a stationery store and inquired for photographs These inquiries became so numerous that the proprietor of the store had postal cards printed showing various views of the town and the surroundings After the war the postal cards were forgotten, until they came up again in Germany in the sos, and to-day there Is scarcely spot on the globe where one cannot buy an illustrated postal showing the respective locality.
