According to reliahle reports, the war has brought about a decided dim inution in the infome of the Kaiser. The tearing up of the little "scrap of paper" bas already cost him personal ly £5,000,000. Wilkelm, however, has still a respectable fortune left, it a recent calculation by Herr Martin, AD authérity on German rich people, is correct. Wilhelm was supposed tc be worth £7,000,000, but Herr Martir bas pointed out that a trifie of, roughly, £13,000,000, the valuation of the Kaiser's forest lands and farms, had béen overlooked brings up the Royal estate to a"total of £20,000,000 The Kaiser, however, .has been the richest monarch in the world This honor belongs to the Czar, who on his accession came into the Romanoff private estate, yielding about £2.006,000 a year. Beyond that, his salary amounts to another two millions, besides many profitable investments abroad. There are small expenses to be deducted, such as some £500,000 a year to Grand Dukes and Duchéesses, but everything is taken into account the Czar's income is far ahead of that of the Turkish Sultan with his million and a half, or our own King, who is the poorest in pelf and palaces of all the Old-World potentates. A State gram of £1,500,000, added to his other revenues, briags the Czar's in come up to £8,000,000 a year Aut of this he bas at least £5,000,000 a year for his private use King George receives £470,000 per annum from the State, but little more than a fourth of this goes into the privy purse. It would be naturally -impossible for our King to live in a manner befitting his rank on an in- come of. £129,000 or so, but there are miscellaneous revenues from in vested funds and other private sources which help to swell the privy purse, The Emperor of Austria, who is also King of Hungary, draws twg salaries amounting to £562,500 each. The King of Italy receives £750,000 a year, but has to make allowances to several members of the Royal Family out of it. King Alfonso has an allowance of £357,500, a sum which is his own to spend as he pleases Belgium's King receives about £175,000. never Soldiers' Uniforms. Experiments have been made in Europe to determine what colour in a soldier's uniform is the least con spicuous to an enemy. Of ten men, two were dressed in light grey uni- forms, two in dark grey,' two in green, two in dark blue, and two in scarlet. All were then ordered to march off, while a group of officers remained watching them. The first to disappear in the lands- cape was the light grey, and next, surprising as it may seem, the scar let. Then followed the dark grey, while the -dark ble amd green re- mained visible long after all the others had disappeared. Experimrents in firing at blue and red targets, made at the same time, proved that blue could be more easily seen at a distance than red. Correctly Written. Jobes was given a form to fill in, and under the heading "Age of father if living," he wrote "1035," while under the heading "Age of mother if living" he wrote 192." "Look here," exclaimed the clerk when Jobes submitted the form, "isn't there some mistake about this?" "No, sir," "was the sponse of the other. it is correct." "Do you mean to tell me," demand- ed the amazed clerk, "that your par- ents are 105 and 102 years old?"

They are to be placed captur- ed in the vicinity of a descending air machine, and as soon as the airman | lands he is to rush at the unfortun- ate fowls and belabor them with a rod. until the hen or the pigeon believes on a large scale descending from the skies. All day long these terrified birds will strain their vision skyward and the remotest Speck in the vault of heaven will flutter the dovecotes jand hencoons as nothing else would. Another bird which adapts itself to { this military service is the common | crow. He has most extrordinary {eyes, which cnable him to see in { front of him and behind. An object | for which a man requires a telescope | iz easily discovered by the crow with-| { out any telescope.

Tobacco For The Soldiers. {Toronto Mail : | Should the soldiers at the front be | supplied with tobacco? The proper | answer to this question would seem { to be anothér one--Do they want it? | Some ladies who have worked zeal ously to furnish the men with com- forts believe that their philanthrepy should stop on this side of cigarettes, { for they hold that the tobacco habit {is a pernicious one, and that it would be doing an ill-service to the soldiers {to confirm them in it, or perhaps to : but temptation in their way. A minister of the Gospel here is said to have felt so | this point that he removed packages of cigarettes which the ladies of his | congregation had collected to be sent 'to nce with other little luxuries. It would be equally reasonable to | confiscate packages of tea on the | ground that tea-drinking is a bad ha- | bit, and tends to impair the complex- ion and shorten life. The point to { be borne in mind by those whose con- {Sciences are troubled at the thought | of soldiers smoking or playing cards {in the trenches is that the soldiers | are probably better judges of what they want than those who have re- mained at home.
