APPALLING COST OF WAR

That is the total direct and i indirect cost of the war. estimated up to July 31, 1915. Of that amount Great ! Eritains share will be $G,29G, G,000000 which covers the direct expenditure of i the government the capitalized value 1 of the loss of human life, and the loss of productions
 | It is pointed out, however, by Edgar Crammond, the recognized authority on [ war finance, that the accumulated wealth and national income of Great ! Britain is on such sound basis that these have only been slightly affected ! by the war. While Germany iq said to be utilizi B 2 F ic. ronans, only the fringe Oi British resources in men, money, foodstufr9 anl raw material has been touched, in spite of this estimated vast expenditure to the end of July.

 will have expended 3,875, 900. OOO Ger many's loss of production will amount to Tt least $3.375, ,O0O, 900 in the first twelve months of the war, while she is spending S1O,00O00O day. or at the rate of $3,650, ,0OO,OO per annum, on the upkeep of her army in the field.
 Frances bill for the maintenance of her 3,000,00 men now available for ac- tive service and the l.000.000 in the re- serve, is very heavy. Crammond puts it at S7,500,000 a day, while as prac- tically the whole of the male population between 19 and 50 have been with drawn from production, the total loss of production amounts to $3,125, ,000. 900.

BELFAST WAGES ARE POOR

Harold Begbie, the English writer, points out that the wages of ordinary men workers in the linen mills of Belfast run from $2.SS to $3.44 a week, and those of women $40. As to home workers he says that em- broiderers can earn Ness than six cents a day. For hemming fine cambric handkerchiefs the pay is one cent a dozen, the operative to carry the goods to and fro and pay for needles and thread.
 These are but two out of many such rates given by MT. Begbie. who says apparently it is of general

IS THE SHARK A MANEATER?
4 Reward Offered for Proof has not
 Been Claimed

So many years ago was it-some twenty or mo~e-when the late Her
 mann Oelrichs started the papers ali
 over the country to discussing
 sharks, that it would seem to be
 time to. revive the controversy he
 excited.
 MT. Oelrichs contended that the ancient and widespread fear of
 sharks had little or no support in | the shape of verified or verifiable cases in which they had killed or even injured a human being. So convinced was he of the harmless ness ot this family of fishes that not only cid he utilize such opportunities as chance provided for going in swimming among them, but he ad- Vertised a reward of $500 for such proof as court would accept that in temperate waters even one man. woman or child. while alive, was ev- attacked by a shark. He limited the offer to temperate waters because he had little Knowledge of shark habits in the tropics, but even there he thought them harmless scaVengers.
 Tho reward was never claimed. Yet to this day there is nothing that will so quickly set a crowd of swimmers scurrying for our beaches as the sight of a sharks fin in the offing, and the officers at Fort Totten have felt it their duty to make wide an nouncement of the fact that they saw and Vainly tried to catch a shark there last week.
 Some years ago there was pub lisheG a photograph, said to have been taken from a steamer in the Red Sea- and seeming to show a shark in the very act of closing lis jaws on man, and the bitter hate that every sailor feels for the whole shark tribe can hardly be wholly baseless, for hate is always the exact measure of fear, and all fears have reason of one sort or an other. But that sharks can properly be called dangerous, in this part of the world, is apparently untrue. and at least one traveller who asked questions on the subject all through the West Indies was unable to get any first hand evidence of death or injury inflicted by them.-New York Times.
