The price Of wheat is getting so
high that an official proble may be
made to discover the cause. With
all Europe fighting instead of raising
wheat it is hardly to be wondered at
that the price of wheat is soaring.
The return of civilization to Europe

COST OF sHRAPNEL.

Each shrapnel fired in this war is
now costing SIS on the firing line.
Manufacturers in this country and
Canada are getting from SIS to more
than SIG for each shell, the additional
expense to the foreign countries being
cost of transportation, and, in certain
instances, filling the cartridge case
with powder abroad.
For the destruction of human life
there Is no agency so effective. It is
composed of a time fuse as delicately
constructed as the works of watch;
a hollow steel shell filled with bullets
and black powder, and brass car.
fridge with smokeless powder to
shoot the projectile from the gun.
When it explodes the bullets are
hurled over range of about ESQ
square yards. The cartridge case is
from foot to almost two feet long,
and is made of sheet brass and filled
with smokeless powder. It is set of
by percussion cap, and will hurl the
projectile 5000 yards, making that
distance in trifle less than twenty
seconds.

TWO MEANINGS.

The manner of handling the many
British war loans was discussed by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer as
Indicating great thrift, because in the
past, the war loans were handled in
blocks of $500 and upwards. The gov
eminent determined it wise and nee
essary to decrease the sum to $25 and
5 per cent. Previous war loans were
handled by the large bond holders at
AZ per cent. The government has
authorized the post Office department
to accept sums as low as five shillings
and per cent. Thus has the British
democracy, which we heard so much
about in the connection with the
Home Rule Bill, been called upon to
finance the government as they never
have been called upon before. Every
one was urged to lay by few shil-
lings for rainy day. Everyone was
urged to buy war loans. The public is
advised that money is scarce and that
money will be scarce, and that bust
ness which depends upon large capt.
tai, will feel the pinch when the war
is over. The clever announcement of
the Chancellor of Exchequer that the
small denominations of war loans in
dictate thrift, is meaning given to it
by necessity, ...,.-, n ,-..e
