The infinitely little and inhn-
itely vast alike battle the under
standing, developed as it is by
our concrete finite life. Creation
is typihed by the sphere. A
circle is straight line that at
every point ceases to be
straight line, and the earth's
surface is a plane that every
moment ceases to be a plane.
Following the surface of the
earth does not carry us to the
under side, because there is no
more an under side than there is
an upper side-there is only
boundless surface. But if it
were possible for us to build a
globe on the globe, as large as
the one we inhabit, would it not
have an upper and an under side?
The rain causes the grass to
grow, and the sun causes the
snow to melt, but we cannot ap-
ply the idea of cause, in this
sense, to Nature as a whole, but
only to parts of Nature. Crawl
tatlon caused Newton's apple to
tall, but what causes the earth
to fall forever and ever, and
never fall upon the body that is
said to attract it?

Figures Compiled at Berlin Shows
Vastness of Great Conflict.

In justification of the superlative
adjectives that are applied to the
present war, William Michaelis has
compiled figures in Overland and
Sea, showing just how big the war
really is.
He estimates that 2l,770,000 men
stand opposed to each other-12,8 $780,
900 on the side of the allies and g.
100000 for Germany, Austria and
Turkey. On the naval side, his esti-

that former years the price of legislators ranged from

that this senator knows the price of legislators that

The Cost of War.
The daily cost of the war to the

at 100000 marks ($42,250,0OO) and
he estimates that up to the first of
April the total cost of the war was
100000 600 marks ($10,0000 0O,OOO)
Italy again excepted he placed the
annual cost of such a war at $150OO,-
100000.
1t would take 100000 of the huge
l000-mark bank notes to paw this
cost. and these notes, stacked up one
on top of the other would make pile

height. In gold this same sum would
weigh 24,000,000 kilograms (52.912.-

production of the entire world during
the past 500 wears has amounted TO
but I 100000 Kilograms.
The daily costs for the German
omDirc he places at 100000 marks
($8 250,000) and only 40 DAYS Of this
conflict cost as much as the whole
Franco-Prussian war of 1901. The
cost to England is about the same,
and three months of this war cost
Great Britain as much as the Boer
war lasting two years and seven
months. France spends little more

LIFEBoATs NOT SAFE ENOUGH.

ton last night of the text of the latest
note sent by the United States to Ger
many in the case of the American shiT
William p Frye reveals that the Unit
ed States does not regard IAN opportuni'

safety for passengers and crew of any
American vessel destroyed when carry

In this note, dated October IL, Seere-
tary Lansing expresses satisfaction that
Germany agreed TO the American propo-
sition for a Joint commission of experts
to fix damages for the loss of the Frye
sunk by the commerce raider Prinz Eitel
Friedrich, and conc,lrs in the suggestion
from Berlin that il is not necessary TO
appoint an umpire in advance.
In agreeing TO submit TO arbitration
differences which have arisen over the
Interpretation of the Prussian- American
treaty of ISIS, the United States places
on record its understanding that no
rights are waived in the interval. Ger
many already has given assurance that
pending arbitration American ships car
rying conditional contraband will not
be moIested, but since virtually every
commodity of importance has been
made absolute contraband, the value OF
the assurance is regarded by officials as
comparatively small.

CARSON'S RESIGNATION
FIRST OPEN BREAK
British Cabinet Is on the Verge of Be-
ing Smashed, Is the Indication Now
Exciting Debates Ex-
pected.

London, Oct. l0.-Sir Edward Carson,
attorney general, has resigned from the
British cabinet.
The resignation OF Sir Edward Carson.
the first open manifestation of the di-
vergence OF views known TO exist among
the ministers, is the result, according 10
an authoritative statement, not OF the
controversy over conscription. but of the
condition OF affairs in the near East.
Sir Edward himself so far has made no
personal explanation of his reasons for
resigning, but it is understood, that he
disapproves Of the policy which is being
followed in the Balkans and Of the meth
cd OF confiding the whole national policy
TO a small "inner cabinet"
1t is expected there viii be exciting
debates in the House of Commons this
week, as severe attacks on the govern
ment are planned by members OF the
House in connection with the general
military policy, especially in the near
East.
