it, is estimated that Inc man was either

In the Crimean N%ar 95.615 lives were

At Cance, however, where the Ro-

their history, It is. said that 52,000 of
ILheir w1diers were slain. The Roman
arm�- irl this battle consisted of 146,-

As neNiTpapers are ready to chronicle
any peculiarity or curiosity in any per-

the curiosities of journalism should
also be recorded.

years before the Normans conquered
FAigland. In (in autocratically govern-
ed conintry "e China, it is remarkable
that it should have enjoyed such it long
life ; among the minor incidents of its
career is the fact that no less than
fiftY-seven of its editors have been ex-
eouted. C'binese Jouxitialists must be re-
markably murageous, for these figures
work out to one exeoution in the�staff

Still more curious is the Pekin Gaz-

records. It has the smallest cii-cula-
