PecnI,arities of Gold.

Estimating the yard of gold at 92,O0O,OOO,
which it is in round numbers, and all the gold in
the world might, if melted into ingots, be contain
ed in cellar twenty-four feet square and sixteen
feet high. All the boasted wealth already. OBJ
tanned from California and Australia would go
into an iron safe nine feet square and nine feet
high. The contributions of the people, IN the
time of David for the Sanctuary, exceeded t6, :
100000. The immense treasure David Is said
to have collected for the Sanctuary, amounted
to fss9, 900, 900 sterling, Critic says 79s millions,
sum greater than the British national debt
The gold with which Solomon oyerlaid the
"most holy place." room only thirty feet
SQUARE amounted to more than thirty-eight mil
lions sterling. When refined from all impurities
and alloys of inferior metals, gold is denomina
ted pure, or gold of twenty-four carats, this be-
ing the standard of purity recognized by gold
dealers and at the mint. In reality, however,
there is no gold so very pure, but that it wants
about quarter of carat of this standard. The
carat is divided into a. l-8, 1-l6, 1872. These
degrees serve to distinguish the greater or less
quantity of alloy therein contained: for instance,
gold of twenty-five carats has two parts OF sill
yer. or one part of silver aud one of copper, and
twenty-five of fine gold; that of twenty three
carats has half part, or half twenty-fourth
of each. A single grain of gold may be beat into
an extent of several square feet, and yet the leaf
remain so compact as not to transmit the rays
Of light; :; and Dr. HALEY found that small cube
