This suggests Sir Jervoise Clarke of Australia, one of the five men in that Pacific commonwealth who may pose as possessors of seven-figure fortunes. But he Is richer than the other four combined, for his sheep ranch of fifty million head the largest in the world, is valued at $150, 0,000.000. Lady Clarke is now in this country on tour of the globe.
 Crossing the Indian Ocean, westward, the statistician comes to a land as potentially rich as Australia, where, again, in South Africa, he finds just five residents put down as millionaires. -or, rather. four residents, for Alfred Belt some years ago established his home in London. Perhaps he felt safer there with the $500,000,O0O which had come from his diamond mines. So far from turning his back on the land where his wealth was born, Abe" Bail ley of the Rand, next to Belt on the list, is today the leading figure in it's Progressive Party. and so decided a philanthropist that he gave at one time 80. 900, 900 acres of land to the Salva- ton Army.

''Rich as Croesus? ?"

RICH as OTUBbuS!
 Yet the ancient Lydian of golden memory was worth but the equivalent of a paltry $S,000,000, historians now tell us Mark Antony was nearly as rich as he, and Caesar and Seneca were richer, while the Emperor Tiberius left a property of $118,000.000.
 Rich as Croesus!"
 What would that venerable worthy look like in these times of nine figure fortunes, with millionaires counted, not as individuals, nor by the score even, but by the hundreds and thou sands? Taking the dollar for the stan dard, there are more than 10000 known millionaires in the present-day world

 5,027 American MiIIionaires.
 Today's record surpasses that almost as far as 1t surpassed the list or Moses Beach. Statisticians now point to 5,02T millionaires in the United States, their fortunes totaling at S9'- 0oO, 900, 900 at the very least.
 This estimate was shown the head of one of the most influential fiduciary institutions in the country, and he said 1t was much too low. In his oplhloh there were quite 5000 persons in the United States worth from one million to three; 1000 others worth more; anu at least two dozen whose fortunes were so immense that there was scant chance for an outsider even to approximate correct figures. Further, he placed the aggregate wealth of Americas mis- lionaires at s12.000, ,o0o.ooo.
 The items which build the total or 5,027 millionaires in this country are found in every State of the Union. New York City, naturally, leads with some thing like 1,390-where else in all the world is such another moneyed district as that which stretches north from 59th street, dions lhe SoSe SAoS N

fact that case has been reported of
crows nest having been found which

thing resembling a twig is pressed into

glass-stoppered bottles came into use
for soda water, many nests were made
Of the wires used to keep in the corks
of such bottles. A nest constructed
out of brandy bottle wires was once
taken in palm tree outside of Mad

of bits OF tin stolen from the tin ba-
Zaar in Madras. One pair of crows
constructed a nest out of gold and sill
yer spectacle frames purloined from
the factory Of Messrs. Lawrence &
Mayo, in Bombay. The materials for
this nest (of which the value was
400 rupees) were stolen by the willy
crows during the luncheon hour. 1t
was noticed that the spectacle frames
were disappearing from the factory in
a mysterious manner, but it was some
time before the thief was discov-

A conscientious, Woodworking and
eminently successful clergyman writes:
81 am glad to bear testimony to the
pleasure and increased measure Of eff
cheney and health that have come to
me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as
one of my articles of diet.
For several years / was much dis
tressed during the early part Of each
day by Indigestion. My breakfast usu-
ally consisting Of oatmeal, milk and
eggs, seemed to turn sour and failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only to
return, however, next moning.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food,
finally concluded to give it a fair trial.
I quit the use of oatmeal and eggs,
and made my breakfasts Of Grape
Nuts, cream, toast and Postum. The
result was surprising IN improved
health and total absence of the dis
tress that had, for so long a time,
followed the morning meal. My diges-
ton became once more satisfactory,
tie headaches ceased, and the old feel
Ing of energy returned. Since that

Oyama Uses Up-to-Date Methods in
Handling His 100000 Men.
Among many things which the jap
anese have done during the war which
they are now waging and which have
attracted the attention Of the world,
their use of the telephone is one, says
the Electrical Review. AS each ad-
vance was made or a trench was dug
connections were made with headquar-
tiers by telephone. Thus not only was
all important information transmitted
Immediately to the commander, but
fighting was directed from the later
point by the same means.
The commander was able to direct
the fire of the guns and to order adj
vances when the proper time arrived.
The telephone in this service has
taken the place Of the courier and does
the work better and more quickly. BY
Its ability to communicate instantly
with many and widely separated
points not only are the army's opera
tons directed more effectively, but one
commander is able to control larger
force than was possible under the old
system.
Could Field Marshal Oyama have d.
rected the operations of 100000 men
and have timed his strokes so exactly
had he been forced to depend upon or
hers carried by horse? How could he
niles long? Without the telephone the
operations would have been carried ON
by numbre Of generals, each acting
according to a certain plan, but de-
pending largely upon his own judg-
ment for what to do and when to do
t.
That the fight would have been car
lied on as brayely none can doubt, but
the telephone co-ordinated the actions
% each division and reduced the armies
to one vast machine. Nothing was
left to chance; every stroke was cor
rectly timed, and the commander-in-
chief was at once informed Of its re-
suit. Even the flying columns were
followed by the engineering corps and
the result of every skirmish and the
taking of every village were known
within short time at headquarters.

The Old Battle Flags.

Military Secretary, General Aims
worth, by command of the Secretary
Of War, has returned the Confederate
battle flags captured In the Civil War.
There are between five and six hun
dred of them, besides one hundred
Union flags which fell into Confederate
hands and were surrendered at the
close of the struggle. This act Is an
expression of goodwill voluntarily
given, in a resolution of Congress
passed at the last session.
Not long after the war Charles Sum
ner moved in the Senate to have the
names of victories won from the Con
federates removed from the regimental
colors of the United States troops. But
the conQuerors were not ready for such
a display of magnanlmity, and were ir-
ritated by such a proposition. The ac-
ton was severely censured by the leg
islature of Summers own State.
In 1887 proposition to return the
captured flags was received with great
excitement, even fury. The South,
which had not asked for the trophies,
did not wish to receive them from un-
willing hands, and commented on the
situation in dignified press article.
sLet the North keep the flags II she
wants them. The peace and goodwill
their return would hasten will come
in Gods good time. The war Is over,
its results are fixed, its passions dead.
and its heroisms and sacrifices have
bound the people together as never be-
fore"

it was called, a writer In the Magazine
of American History tells of his visit
to the much-talked-of banners.

half the flags were attached to poles,

''The captured Union flags, on clean,

material, showing abundance Of re-
source. The majority Of Confederate
fags were OF cheap bunting, and

To-day tEe feeling that accompanies
the return Of the flags is very different
from that expressed twenty years ago.
