ONE FAMIlY'S
GREAT WEALTH

Is the wealth Of any one family so
great that IL Il we're changed Into
American silver dollars the coins, placed
edge to edge. would make a track Of
silver dollars as long as the distance
from the earth to the moon and more
than two-thirds OF tho way back? IL
this could be done and the strings OF
silver pieces were OF new coinage and
bright, and were strung from earth to
its satellite, tho poetic fancy or the
ladder OF light leading up to the noon
would indeed be realized. ~
The extent Of the wealth of the yers ;
rich is never an open book. A recent
estimate OF the Rothschilds' wealth is
made In an interesting roundabout wav.
The fortune OF the house Is said to have q
been founded on profits made on the
London Stock Exchange by a Rothsehid
through his having early Information Of
tile outcome Of tho battle of Waterloo.
In the guess as to the present wealth OF
the family II is recalled that when one
OF the four sons OF James, who founded
the French branch OF the house, died he
left to his daughter Helen about SO
OlOOo The fortune OF Helen's father
was twice that sum. and his thru,
brothers and one sister inherited as much
as fell to him. From this II is presumed
that the combined fortunes OF the five
heirs amounted to between 500. 10000 and
sso'cn,oOo in 1854 There were four
branches Of the family supposed to be
equally rich at that time, making their
wealth between Ssoooooceo and ss,so-
COCO fifty-seven years ago.
~ five per cent profit a year a fortune
doubles In twenty years. IL the Roths-
ehllds could do no better than that with
their money they should have had from
'S.soooo,ooo to ss.4caoo.ooO in 1854 and in
1901. from 81, 10000 to sI2.SOa coon
Since 1904 the combined fortunes OF the
family should have been augmented by
one-third so that according to this rea-
sonlns the Rothschild family is now the
possessor Of the snug sum Of between
si, 500 ooc,Ooo and sl7,loooo.OOo.
The American silver dollar is a shade
less than an inch and a half In diameter.
Eight OF them placed edge to edge cover
a trtfle less than a linear foot. There are
$50 feet In mile. A few more than g.

distance OF the moon from the earth Is
about 90 miles short Of $4,000 miles. The
number OF American silver dollars placed

would be approximately 1o1ST. $4,000. The
larger estimate Of the Ro,hschild tamiIy's
fortune IS 81. 100 10000.
