A statistical report lately addressed to the Minator of the Interior, estimates the damage done by wolves in 15 European Governmonta af Russin daring the year 1873 at 73 millions of roubles. The Government of Sitara was down as the greatest suffexor to the extent of €50,000 rotibles; nort came Vogolta, at 500,000 | rakles, and so on. The Polish and Baltie pro Vincor, and Arahetigel onms of hat. But cout peccat judges consider this estimate of wolfsh orchief as much too low. It is calcointed ou the basis of a low average value for all Busais, as if the price of an ot or a sheep was about the zato everywhere throngbeat the Empire. It also seta tha shsoluta amount of mischief at far too low a figure. Probably 15 millions of rouhlas or £2,000,000, would more ansely raresent the vaico of the deniastia muimals manually destroyed by wolves in European Russia. To this should, be added the value of the wild animals destroyed by them. The reindeer alone kiled fa Siberia would represent a high figure. Then there is the Jess of human life which can never be accurately koorn. In 1875 the police reported 161 persons| killed by woltes.
