Gold Mine Elevators.
A new kind of elevator for use in gold
mlnesls mentioned in the mining jour-
nals. It is constructed so that one side ex-
actly balances the other. On one side is a
large cage on which a loaded car is run,
to be hoist'rld to the top of the mill, and on
the other is a huge water tank capable of
holding sufficient water to raise the car,
load and German to the top. The enrrnun,
from his station at the bottom, pulls a
rope which opens a stopcock and this the
tank with water, ,at which the tank (is.
sounds, and the cage, containing our, car-
man and all, rises to the top of the bin,
when the car is dumped. The curmuu
then pulls another mp0, which opens a
valve at the bottom of the tank and lets
the water out, and thus the cage and car,
now being the heaviest, descends, its
movement, of course, being always under
the control of the operator or cannon. The
cage is provided with strong brakes, capa-
ble of holding it and the contents station-
ary at any point, either in going up or
coming down, and the whole is hung on
an 8 [not wheel by a 1% inch wire rope of
great holding capacity—New York Sun.
“'hat War Costa.
It is really surprising to see how much
monoyis spent for every man killed in
war on the field or sent. away to die of
his wounds or of sonic sickness in the
camp. In the Crimean war, where a vast
number of men were got together at very
close quarters, there Were more than 750,-
000 men killul, each of them at the cost
of £00. The maximum 0! cost was reached
in the American civil war. Each one of
the 251,000 deaths, though this is a small
estimate We should imagine, was pur-
chased by an expenditure of £3,345. The
holligurunts in South, America did the
business more cheaply, not spending more
than £llUU per mun.
Small wars are generally costly. The
Danish war extinguished 0,600 lives at on
averngo cost of about £2,000. The com-
paign which i'nllt'd at Sudowa must be
reckoned, curlsldrring its brief duration,
to have bot-n cxrmnsive. Every life cost
nearly £1,500. it is a strange necessity
which mulws civilized societies expend
