PHILADELPHIA NEwsPArERs IN ls24.-In the year
1924 the following daily newspapers published
in Philadelphia We annex also the date OF their
institution:
Morning. THE American Daily -Aduerfiser, 1884;
The aurora, 1870; The United States Gazette, 1871;
The Freeman's Journal, 1904; The Amsrican SENT
mel, 1916.
Ebening Philadelphia Gazette, l7ss; The
Democratic Press, 1907; The FrankIi Gazette 1918;
The National Gazette, 1920; The Columbian Oh
ssrpsr, 1923; The City Register 1928.
twill be perceived that the evening papers were
in the majority, which is rather singular fact in
the history Of newspaper publishing. None Of the
above were penny papers, and not one of them ex-
let at this writing under its original name.
The weekly papers publishedin 1924 were as fol-
lows: Grotjan's Public Sale Report; The Saturday
Eoening Post; The Philadelphia Recorder; The Cris
fian Gazette; The Cristian; The Gazetteer; The
Liberal OF these the Saturday EUening Post Is the
only one now published under Its original name.
The estimated yearly impressions OF the dalies at
that date was $1,000 Singular il may appear,
there only eight dailies published at this time,
viz The Daily Netcs, Pubic Ledger, Spirit Of the
Times, Pennsyluania Inquirer, North American,
Pennsyluanian, Sun, all morning; and Bulletin,
evening-the only evening paper. And yet, al
though there are three less published now than in
the year named, the estimated yearly impressions
of the eight is IL ,472 900, being an increase Of

GoLD MININo.-Sir Roderick Murchison, the eel
ebrated mineralogist, recently delivered at the
Royal Institution of Great Britain most interest
ing and instructive lecture on "The distribution of
gold ore in the crust and upon the surface OF the
globe"
He stated il to be an axiom, that gold ore never
occurs in any great quantity except under certain
conditions or Constants" which may be thus
briefly explained to be where the ancient stratfed
rocks which constitute the backbones of continents,
or great islands have been penetrated and altered,
and crystalzed by the intrusion of igneous erup
tive matter. The golden vein stones which rise up
from beneath have been carefully examined to
very considerable distance below the surface, and
il has been ascertained that they invariably deter
crate in value, i. e., in the per centage of pure
gold the weight Of the ore the deeper the
search is made. All the rich portions are found
triton which that surface has undergone in ancient
times has, by grinding down the tops of mountains,
carried away by far the greatest quantity of valua
Die ore, and distributed Il in heaps of gravel and
sand, in plateaux or in valleys
The learned lecturer inferred that gold was of
a very recent date respects geological history,
though Of great antiquity a. respects the human
race. Indeed, the Accommodations on the TANKS Of
the Ural mountains clearly proved that iron and
copper were formed before gold. These Ural
mountains and Siberia furnish more than half OF
all the gold produced throughout the world. From
the Ural mountains and the twenty five districts of
Siberia, in the region around the hourishing city
of Krasnojarsk, OF which IL two hundred miles
in length and one hundred in breadth, where the
metal Is invariably found in the broken materials
and debris above mentioned, nearly the value Of
E3, 800 900 in gold is annually derived. Precisely
similar, geologically, are the chief backbones Of
the American continent which also afford at inter
walls clustered collections of gold ore. As proof
that gold in a mine dimnishes as the solid rock is
perforated downwards, the authority Of Colonel
Colquhoun, X. A., long resident In Mexico, was
cited to show that in Guadalupe Calno, vein
stones opened out by British enterprise, though at
first productive, gradually declined in value, and
became poor the ore was sought for deeper, and
finally became purely argentiierous. The same
was shown by Mr.. Warrington Smyth TO be the
in the gold mines of Hungary.
A brief historical sketch Of the subject given,
In which IL stated that Job a true and good
geologist when he said, There is vein for the
silver" and "thc earth hath dust Of gold" "If,
however" said Sir Rodcrick, in conclusion, 1--WE
allow ourselves TO speculate the moral effects of
this golden shower, we must. apprehend, admit,
with an ancient historian, (but no gcologist) Do
dorus Siculus, that gold il obtained with toll n
tanned with difficulty, creates every whore anxiety,
and In its use produces both pleasure and pain"

Rheumatism Can be Cured.
BY THE PROPER USE OF
MYERS EMBROCATION!

THIS sovereign and effectuul remedy for
that painful disease, was discovered upwards
of sixty years ago by the Grandfather of the
undersigned, "a German Physician of his dav)
and has neverbeen made known out of his
family. "
Its incredible cures have astonished thou
sands who have witnessed its power over that
disease. Unfortunate, despairing invalids, who
have been bed-rdden for years, have been re-
stored to the enjoyment Of perfect health. 1t
banishes all pain in few days, and its efficacy
is gladly realized by the patients being able to
resume their usual avocations, after having
suffered in torments for months and years.
The wonderful success of the EMBROCA-
TON, in curing the worst cases Of Rheu-
matism, has acquired for it celebrity I'M
precedented, and its fame originated from
its own merits. 1t never has failed to cure
Rheumatism. either iDfammatory or chronic;
and feel safe in saying it never will if fairly
tried. pledge myself TO refund the cash to
any person who uses IL properly without being
benefited thereby. Youwho ire afflicted may
have tried every other remedy but this. Try
IT, and if it does not cure, it will not cost
you any thing. By this rule desire it should
be used.
Persons are warned to be on their guard OF
whom they purchase, as several mean at
tempts have been made to procure the RECIPE
from which this medicine is prepared. The
proprietor deems 1t his duty to say to tie af-
fiicted, that he will furnish travelling agents
with written authority for depositing it.
