GOLD MINING HIT BY WAR
Many Properties That Were Profitable
Have Been Forced to Close Down
Temporarily.

Gold is one of the war victims. The
was has forced down, in market value,
measured by human labor, many kinds
Of property and most of the staple
commodities, until some gold mines
which yielded a fair profit before the
wal have become temporarily useless
to their owners. 1t costs so much to
operate them that they cannot be
worked without a loss.
There has been change In the value
of gold itself, In the money of great ma
tions which have maintained their
monetary systems IN the specie basis,
while almost everything else has gone
up. The result Is that any given num-
Der of ounces of gold mined will buy
much less material used In mining,
such as explosives, drills, pumps and
other machinery, and will pay for few
er days work. This change is still
going on and the position of the gold
mining companies grows less and less
secure and sound.

Effect Of Poison Gases on Troops.

Certain gases have for their more
immediate object, the irritation of the
eyes (the lachrymatory gases, n part

porarily binding the victim; others
are designed for the irritation of the
nose (the ''sneeze-gases'), making 1t
almost impossible for the fighter to
overcome the tendency to throw off
his mask; and others again, for the
production of burns when in contact
with the flesh, which are of a most
distressing character, and, even II
they do not cause death, i%ncapacitate
the victim for service for a period of
months. The last-named gases are
likewise toxic and ~lachrymatory to Il
high degree. The so-called mustard
gas" a compound somewhat similar
in character to mustard oil, but far
more of an irritant, has proved par
ticularly destructive, and doubtless ac-
counts for many of the casualties in
recent attacks.-Henry p. Talbot, In

No Better Security on Earth.

The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the Spanish war,
. per cent bonds were offered at par
and oversubscribed. This is a finan-
clal performance no other nation has
ever equaled. United States 4 per
cent bonds in 1883 sold as high as $50,
and In 1901 brought 1875 on the stock
market. The United States has new
er defaulted on any of its bonds. Not
one OF its bondholders has ever lost a
cent of principal or interest. except
those who voluntarily have taken
losses by selling their bonds In a pc
riod of temporary price depression
