THE CHANCES OF WAR. 1,000 to 1 Against Being Killed on tho Battlefield. Prom tho London Mali It Is oeitalnly a crumb of comfort to a man about to fight for his country to know that In battle not more than one in every 1,000 projectiles of all descrip tions and weight takes effect. Competent authorities state that on the average It takes a ton of shot to kill one man. Foi Instance, It hns been estimated that In the Ciimenn war tho Urltlsh nnd Fiench troops fired be tween them the criminous amount of 43.000,000 projectiles, resulting In the death of only R1.0C0 Kusslnns, while on their side the czar's adherents killed some 40,000 of the allies with nn cx pendltuio of over 50,000,000 projectiles, this rcpiesentlng a death for eveiy 1,087 shots Hied. The Ameilcan civil war ieturn'", which were got out with great care, showed that the loss to both the Feder als and Confederates was about 7 per cent, of the forces engaged, to brln about which Involved the expenditure of nearly twenty-two hundredweight of ammunition per man. At the siege of Mezleios, In the Fianco-German war, the Prussians threw no fewer than 197.000 projectiles Into the Ill-fated town, but, sttango to say, less than 400 persons were klllel oy them. Then at Trouvllle, two per sons only were killed after some 27,030 odd shells had been discharged At Sedan, however, the aim of both the Germans and the Trench showed a marked Improvement, for after 210,000 projectiles had been fired nearly 9,000 Fiench and Prussians were killed. Tor the Spanish-American ar tho returns showed a tremendous amount of shot and Miell fired for very meagre results. Of course In this case, al though the mortality was not gieat. the damage to earthworks, fortifica tions nnd government buildings gen erally was enounous, nnd there can be little doubt that If the Spaniards had not made themselves scarce the death roll would have been appalling. Again, when the American marines landed at Santiago, dm lug a fusllade upon the enemy lasting two nights, the machine guns and rifles alone nc coitnted for tho consumption of over 25,000 rounds of ammunition Sixty eight deid Spaniards were found as a result of this enormous expenditure of ammunition Our own experience In our "little wars' has been very little, If nny, better than the results Just recorded Take, for Instance, the Chartered com pany's expedition Into Matabeloland. Kvcjy one will remember how the vvar ilois of I.obengula were mowed down by the Maxim guns like skittles, but even In this instance, which, perhaps, Is tho most effective on record, ns tho Impl advanced on the Biitlsh lines .1 solid masses, it would have puzzled a blind man to have missed shootlngsome of them. The mortality was veiy small considering the vast number of cart ridges expended, hut this Is occounted for by the fact that on examination somo of the dead bodies contained more that fifty bullets In each On another occasion, at nn attack on n laager some twenty miles south of Huluwayo, 14,000 round of ammunition were disposed of, with 1 result of 348 dead Matabele Military authorities now tegnrd ra pidity of fire as being more essentlil than rnngo and precision, and content themselves with giving general orders to aim low, and this, perhaps, accounts for the fact that most wounds nre In flicted on the enemy's lower extreme ties, statistics showing that on the av erage 45 per cent of wounds occur in the legs, 33 per cent. In the abdomen, 21 per cent in the arms and chest, nnd only 1 per cent. In the head. It will be Interesting to leain how many IJoer bullets It taKes to kill .i llrltlsh soldier, and vice versa, If only for tho sake of really ascertaining whether the Tinnsvnal burghers' abili ties as crack shorn have not been con siderably overrated. Curo Whtre Others Fall. THE MARKETS. Wall Street Hevlew. New York. Dec. 11. Expectations of a further stress of liquidation In the stock mnrket were not dlsappolntcl this morning. Heavy offerings were thrown on the mnrlset from tho outBct nnd the bears were very bold and de termined In offering prices clown. Hut It was obvious that there was not so nn acute n pressure of necessity on the matket to realize ns was the case yes terday nnd sevciat developments over night helped to encourage n support ot prices. The market, therefore, did not at any time take on the extreme demoraliza tion of yesterday, as vvns feared, nnd about midway of the session the benrs had relinquished their position. The conflict of speculative Interests vvns n fierce one befoto the Issue was decided, nnil pi Ices moved both ways tit once in tho opening mniket nnd never long In one direction. The determined support In Sugar was n notice to the beats from the outset thnt they were not to have things nil their own way, nnd though they wiped out Sugar's opening rise In short order nnd made heavy inroads at other points In the Industilal list, and even forced St Paul n half point be low yesterday's low level for the year, the absorptive power of the stendv buying demand moved too much for the reactionists Subsequent attacks were made upon the Iron and Steel I stocks, tho New York city specialties and, In fnct, every stock where any Information could bo had of n heavy nccount on the long side with tho hope of wiping out margins and forc ing liquidations. It vvns noticeable, on the other hand, that tho buying de mand died away at the higher level of pi ices achieved. This encouraged re newed Inroads by the boais In the period on the last reaction, when they refrained from nttacklng the market, and the closing vvns firm, near the top level, nt substantial net gains all through the list Total sales, l.OSI.OOO.
