HOW NUGGETS GROW.
A Chemist Shows That Gold Exists in *
.Soluble Form.
It is generally supposed that the nug
gets which are found in the river grav
els of Klondike and other auriferous
regions have been brought down by the
rivers direct from the reefs in which
the gold originally lay.
Many practical miners and scientific
men, however, have long been of opin
ion that this cannot be the case, for nc
masses of gold of so large a size were
ever found in the reefs themselves.
They believe, on the other hand, thai
the nuggets have grown where they are
now found, just as a crystal of salt will
grow in a strong brine; but with sc
insoluble a substance as gold it was
difficult to understand how such
growth could take place. Experiments
carried out in Australia have shown
that decaying vegetable matter will
cause the deposition of gold from solu
tions of gold salts. l*ut these salts are
not known to occur in reefs.
The mystery is now solved. A Sla
vonic chemist named Zzigmedy has
just shown that gold itself can exist in
a soluble form. By acting on a slightly
alkaline solution of a gold salt with
formaldehyde and submitting the prod
uct to dialysis, he has succeeded in ob
taining gold in a colloidal condition, in
which state it is soluble in water and
may be precipitated by the addftion ol
common salt.
It is probable that some of the gold
in quartz feefs exists in this condition,
it is washed out by the rain, carried
away in solution by the rivers, and
deposited in the river gravels wherever
there is anything containing salt to
cause its precipitation. In the course
of ages a large nugget may in this
way be formed.
The Flyiiiji Fox.
The flying fox is a very curious in
habitant of the forests near Moreton
Bay in East Australia, it lives in flocks
and moves generally toward the dusk
of the evening, and the noise produced
by the heavy flapping of the so-called
wings i« very singular. The flocks
like quiet places, where there are large
Araucarian pine trees, with an under
wood of scrub and creepers. The
foxes hang in vast numbers from the
horizontal branches of the pine trees.
When there is a clear space among
the trees, an enormous number of the
animals may be seen, and their noise
can be heard, for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter a short bark,
something like the sound made by
young rooks. Often every branch is
crowded and the flying foxes are seen
either flapping their wings and hold
ing 011 with their bind feet, and with
their head downward, or snarling and
lighting for places.
Suddenly the whole take to flight and
(Ta.). iVrfilr 'furry, wing-like sides and
wheel around like heavy birds. Many
lly with their young holding onto
them.
The creature is not a true fox and
there is a fold of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs. This is
called the wing, and it enables the
pteropus, as the animal is called, to
float and turn in the air.

BEARS SLY AS FOXES.
Tliey Throw Lump* of Ice at U'altmei >1
Stan ami Capture Ttieiu.
11l his native home the polar bea:
does not often meet with small boyi
anxious to treat him to buns and othe;
dainties. The consequence Is tha'
Bruin has to devise many curious wayi
of securing his foo<', and none are mort
strange and interesting than that re
lated by two trustworthy travelers ii
Greenland, that country of strangi
sights.
They have known the polar bear t(
take a stone or a huge lump of ice ii
his fore paws and from a favorabli
height, as a cliff or a precipitous ici
hill, to hurl the missile down upon thi
head of a walrus —an enormous brute
often twice the size of the hear —and s<
6tun him that Bruin could rush in ant
complete the destruction at his leisure
thus securing a month's rations.
The most useful food of the ice bear
as the Germans very appropriately cab
this beast, is the common seal of tin
arctic regions. The latter is the wari
est animal of the north, and both Es
kimo and polar bear need their besi
strategy to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow
is off the ice of the ocean shore anc
islets, the seals can be plainly seen ai
black dots on the ice. probably asleep
but always near their holes, which leac
down through the thick ice to thi
water below, and into which they car
throw themselves by the least move
ment. Bruin, seeing one afar, walks
up as near as he deems safe, and ther
begins crawling on his wary prey.
The seal, if the weather be sunn)
and pleasant, takes short naps, relieved
by shorter moments when it is scan
ning the vicinity for signs of the ene
my's approach. During these timet
the bear is very qdiet and as still as
death itself, with eyes apparently
closed, though real'y a corner of each
is kept open, and ii": this way he hopes
the seal will take him for a heap ol
snow, an appearance which his coal
readily helps him to assume.
During the napu he creeps forward
with greater or less rapidity, according
to his nearness to the seal and conse
quent fear of being seen or heard
When but ten or twelve yards away
and the seal is in the depths of a good
nap, the bear rushes upon him. and
with a single blow of his powerful paw
knocks the smaller brute senseless anc
so far away from lhe hole that he can
not escape by tlia: way, even if th€
blow received is no. immediately fatal
In winter time the ice is covered
with snow, and tujs is hollowed oul
by the seal into a anow house, cover
ing the hole in tlia ice and connecting
at the top of the do UP with an aperture
about the size of :. shilling, called the
blow hole, for it through this that
the seal breathes T hen he is in want
of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many a
long hour, if nece-sary, and when the
snorts of the seal . re heard he crushes
in the fragile don. • of the snow house
with his paw, imp"ling the seal on his
curved claws, and proceeds to practi
cally demonstrate how polar bears can
subsist in an arctic winter.
Ingenuity of tlie Tnliituua.
The Tahitans an- said to be the peo
ple most serviceable to the traveler.
They seem, in fact, to command at all
times the principal conveniences ol
life.
Half an hour of daylight is sufficient
for building a house of the stems and
leaves of the fehi-banana, and fire is
produced by rubbii:g sticks.
If the running water is deeply sunk
among stones by working in banana
leaves they bring it to the surface.
The chase of ee'.s. which in those
dripping mountain.-', become almost am
phibious, offers another instance ol
their ingenuity.
They tear off with their teeth the
fibrous bark of "puran" (Hibiscus til
iaceus), and a moment after apply it
to noosing small fish.

IN JAIL FOR DEBT.
A Debtor** Prison Wliere Immorality
HelgueU Supreme.
The King's Uenr:i was the largest of
all the debtors' prisons. It formerly
stood on the east side of the High
street, on the site of what is now the
second street north of St. Gporge's
Church, London. This prison was
taken down in 1758, and the debtors
were removed to a larger and much
more commodious place on the other
side of the street south of I.ant street—
the site is now marked by a number of
new and very ugly houses and mean
streets. In the year 177 C the prisoners
had to lie two in a bed. and even for
those who could ray there were not
beds enough, and many slept on the
floor of the chapel. There were :19!>
prisoners; in addition to the prisoners
many of them had wives and children
with them. There were 279 wives and
275 children a total of 1,399 sleeping
every night in the prison. There was a
good water supply, but there was no
infirmary, no residwnt surgeon, and no
bath. Imagine a pl.ice containing 1,399
persons, and no bal'.i and no infirmary!
Among these prisoners, about a hun
dred years ago, was a certain Colonel
George Hanger, who lias left his ".Me
moirs" behind him for the edification
of posterity. Ac-.oidlng to him the
prison "rivaled th<t purlieus of Whip
ping, St. Giles, and St. James' in vice,
debauchery, and drunkenness," The
general Immorality was so great that it
was only possible, he says, to escape
contagion by living separate, or by
consorting only \vl;li the few gentle
men of honor who might be found
there. "Otherwise a man will quickly
sink into dissipation: he will lose every
sense of honor and dignity, every moral
principal and vlrti'ous disposition."
Author* tn riiliiu.
Authors in China have a lovely time.
When the editor r -jects a contribution
he does not return it together with a
cruelly polite little printed slip which
states that "it is tot because of any
fault with the MS., bit because of the
present large supply on hand of matter
of the same description" the article is
returned. No; il>i is the kind of let
ter the Chinese editor writes:
'"lllustrious Hrotlier of the Sun and

BURNT WOOD ORNAMENTS.
The Manner In Which to Decorate With |
Heated Irons.
The decoration of wood by the appli
cation of heated irons is an art of long
standing, and many interesting ex
amples of old work are occasioally to
be found. For a trifling sum a complete
apparatus may be bought, which in
cludes a platinum point that is kept
heated while the work is in progress,
not by electricity, as many suppose,
but by fumes of benzine, which is sup
plied by pressure on a rubber bellows
which is connected by tubing to a bot
tle half filled with benzine. When be
ginning the work, the point should not
be heated in any flame but that of an
alcohol lamp. Any other flame would
be liable to smoke and ruin the point.
In burning outlines remember that to
make a broad, firm line It is not neces
sary to press. The lines are to be 1
scorched, not incised. The point is
held and guided much in the same !
manner as a drawing pencil, but some
little practice is needed to enable the !
worker to pass it smoothly and readily ;
over the wood, the tendency of all be
ginners being to allow it to rest and
malW- dots. No discouragement, how
ever. must lie felt at this, as with a
little practice the manipulation will be
come easy, and the worker be able to
make dark or light strokes at will.
Bold outlines and strongly burned
backgrounds come out well on ordinary
white wooden articles, such as tables,
stools, chairs, bowls, plates, racks, etc.
>lnk«* \oiir Ou II Ozone.
Almost every person has noticed the
peculiarly refreshing smell of clean
linen, especially when just removed
from the lines. But few people are
aware that there is any connection be
tween fresh, cool linen, just from the
outside air. and the ozone of an apart
ment. it is stated that the atmosphere
of an apartment nay be charged with
ozone by bringing Into it damp linen
sheets that have just been exposed to
a dry. sharp wind; bringing them into
the house and shaking them or waving
them about in the air of the room will,
according to the statements made,
change the character of the air. This
is a matter of importance to invalids,
who often become exhausted from lack
of ozone In the air they breathe. A
means so simple and effective and one
that Is within the means of every per
son should be generally understood. It
seems that all that is necessary is to
bring tite linen to the room immediate
ly after it is taken from the lines out
of doors and shake and whirl it about,
when the character of the air will be
altered at once.
He Knew How to Advcrtlar.
All original form of an advertise

a profit for the maintenance of a wife

form the public that this advantage
will shortly be withdrawn from them,

will, therefore, do well to make their
purchases at once at the old rate."
The result was that there was such
a run on the shop that in the course
of a few days this shopkeeper had
made enough money to pay the ex
penses of his wedding on a very lavish
scale,

■ The Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station.
MADISON', Wis., July 13, 1807.
In conducting our Dairy School, we have had occasion to use the various sizes
of Improved U. S. Separators for dairy instruction during several winters past.
Our students have always been pleased with the operation of these Separators,
autl we find that they skim the milk very clean indeed from fat, and that they
arc Kcncrallv vet v satisfactory.

We have used the U. S. Separators for the past four or five years, aud have
found thein at all times effltrient and reliable. They are easily cleaned and kept
in order, and can be depended upon for satisfactory work.

We regard the Improved United States Separator as one of the verv best all
round machines. In cleanness of skimming it surpassed all the others. It
compares favorably with the rest in capacity. Our man calls it the smoothest
running machine we have, although it lias been in use nearly three years—a
good comment on its wearing qualities. F. S. COOLEY, Prof, of Ag't.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, MICH., Jan. 47,1897.
Your No. 5 Separator was received, set up, and has been operated daily since
the 4th of January. Kach of our dairy boys has now had a turn at it, setting it
up, running it, washing it, and testing the'skim-milk. They all like the machine,
on account of its easy running and simplicity. We are running through milk
13 to 24 hours old, warmed to over 80 and usually about QO degrees. The per
cent, of fat in the skim-milk, so far as reported, will not reach on the average
a tenth of a per cent., and often i.s too small to read, in the skim-milk bottle. We
are ult-.tsed with the machine in every possible way, as far as we have beeu able
to observe it in a month's use.
