KILLED IN BATTLE.
Confederates Lost Eighteen Per Cent.
Of Their General offers
During War.

From the archives Of the confeder-
acy on deposit in the war department
the military secretary. Maj Gen.
Ainsworth, has brought to light some
interesting data concerning the COM
manders of the confederate forces in
the field in the fateful days OF 1876.
Deducting II names Of officers who
did not qualify for one reason or an
other, says the Army and Navy Jour
nal, we have in the list AIS generals,
and the records given show that of
these "a were killed Or mortally
wounded in action, or 10 per cent.
This Is very striking showing
when we recall the almost entire i'm
munity Of the Russian and Japanese
armies fighting in Manchuria from
fatal casualties to general officers.
We recall but one who has been re-
ported killed in battle in the far
east, and If there are others they
must be very few; whereas the per-
centage of casualties among the gen.
eral officers of the confederacy are far
in excess of the percentage Of casual
ties among the rank and file of the
Russian and Japanese armies as given
by Gen. Bliss, who has the best OF
facilities for learning the facts.
No less than % general officers of
the confederacy were killed in battle
during the IL months Of campaigning
and the eight months of fighting COM
mencing with Grants battle Of the
Wilderness and ending with Appomat-
tox Ten brigadier generals OF the
union army were also killed during
this campaign, besides IL colonies
commanding brigades, six of them at
Cold Harbor alone. At Franklin seven
confederate generals were killed, and
during Sherman's campaign five, the
union army losing three. At Gettys-
burg five confederate and five union
generals were killed, ten in all, be-
sides three union colonies command
ing brigades At Fredericksburg two
union and two confederate generals
were killed. In all the union army
lost in killed or MORALLY wounded So
general officers, % brevet brigadier
generals and "a colonies commanding
brigades.
Taking the proportion as one killed
to 1852 wounded, this would indicate
that 4O7 confederate generals were
killed or wounded out Of total OF
Ais. Probably, however, the general
officers were the selected victims OF
the sharpshooters, who shot to kill

burg, % per cent. of those engaged
were killed and 81 per cent. were
killed or wounded. In AZ other regi'
ments the percentage of killed In diff
ferent battles was or more. The
ratio Of killed to wounded in Sc bat
ties of the civil war was 1 to 49,
varying between 1 to at Williams.
burg and 1 to 81 at Arkansas Post
The average among the regular troops
was 1 to 4.52. The mortality wounded
equaled GA per cent. of those killed
outright. In the German army dur
ing the war with France the proper
ton was 81 per cent.

ACOMPOUND PULLEY.
Apparatus Which Any Boy Can Con-
struct for Himself and Which
Will Give Him Much Fun.

Three cents for a half dozen screw
hooks is all the money you need for a
compound pulley, and any boy or girl
can make one. Two large spools, two
small spools, four strips of wood seven
inches long, one inch or a little less
wide and half an inch thick; four
small blocks Of wood and heavy cord
are the necessary materials.
Cut or saw each spool quite near
the shoulder, as shown by the dotted
lines. Put pin through the two ends
OF each spool, letting the ends project
for an axle. This gives you q very
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1905-12-21

neat wheel. Be careful to make the
four wheels of equal thickness.
The four blocks should be each .
trihe thicker than the wheels, al
broad as the side strips are and
about one inch long. Make two holes
in each strip two and half inches
from the ends and the size Of the
axles.
Now you are ready to Join the parts.
Take two side strips, one large and
enc small spool, place the axles in the
holes, put a block in position at each
end and fasten it firmly by means OF
glue or screws or nails. A screw hook
in each end completes one part.
Make the other part in exactly the
same way and put in the cord a.
shown in the drawing.
To use the pulley, fasten one block
to the ceiling or some other high place.
Attach the lower block to the object
you wish to raise. It will seem sur
prisingly how heavy weight can bs
lifted with but little strength.

In this Investigation the compare
tive digestitility of the phosphates and
other mineral constituents was not de-
termined, nor were the quantities con-
sumed and the amounts and proportions
excreted in the urine and feces studied.
AS yet entirely satisfactory methods
have not been generally adopted for de-
termining the digestibility of mineral
constituents, and consequently there is
lack of definite knowledge concerning
body requirements and the changes
of the ash constituents of the diet. Con-
siderable work along these lines is now
being carried on by number Of in

Europe, and in the United States studies
