: GOLD MINING IN WALEs.-About
two years ago a number OF companies
were started with view of working
the auriferous quartz deposits discov>
cred in several localities in North
Wales, and such was the confidence
entertained ut the time in the success
of Welsh gold mining, that capital
was obtained without difficulty from
the overecreduous public. The tenn
porary success of the Vigra and Clo-
gan mines was the greatest induce.
ment 10 enter into these speculations,
and tho warning that appeared from
time to time in the Times had little
effect upon the investing classes.
Among the companies formed were
the Cambrian, East Cambrian, Welsh
,iold Mining, Castell Curn, Dorchan,
Dolfrwynog, East Clogan, 81. David,
and many others, and fully one-half
the number are by this time either IN
course of winding up, or unable to
proceed, owing to having spent the
whole of their capital, and those that
are still working show hardly any
prospect of success. The Vigra and
Clogan mine, which formerly gave
such promising indications, has not
paid any dividends for three years,
which proves that gold mining in the
Principality is a speculation N the
widest sense of the term. Quartz
containing certain per csntage of
gold has been discovered at all the
mines, but the cost of reduction has
been far above the yield of pure
metal, and hence the Improbable
character of the speculations, and un-
til the mechanical appliances for ex'
tracing the gold from the quartz are
more perfect and less costly than at
present, gold mining cannot be sue
cesstully carried on in Wales.-Lom

INTERESTING CHEMICAL FAoTs.-A
platina crucibe is made and retained
red hot over large spirit lamp.
Some sulphurous acid is poured into
it. The acid, though at common tenn.
perature one of the most volatile OF
known bodies, possesses the singular
property of remaining fixed in the
red hot crucible, and not u drop of it
eraporates in fact it is not in contact
with the crucible, but has an atmos-
phere of it's own interposed. A few
drops Of water are now added TO the
sulphurous acid in the red-hot cru.
cible. The diluted acid gets into i'm
mediate contact with the heated
metal, instantly flashes off, and such
is the rapidity and energy of the
evaporation that the water remains
behind and is frozen into a lump OF
ice in hot crucible from which, seiz.
ing the moment before it again melts
it may be thrown out before the eyes
& of the astonished observer. This is
indeed Ga piece OF natural magic
aud as much like miracle as any
operation of the forces of nature could
produce. 1t is certainly one of the
most singularly beautiful experiment.

The SEVEN OLD AND SEVEN New
WONDERS OF THE WoRLD.-Tho Egyp.
tian Pyramids, the Mausoleum of
Mausolos, the Temple of Diana, the
walls and hanging gardens OF Baby.
lon, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Statue
of Jupiter at Athens, and the Pharos
or lighthouse of Ptolemy Philadel-
phus, 500 feet high, have long been
considered as the seven great mechan
ical wonders OF the world. The seven
modern wonders of the world are /:
the Steam Engine, the Printing Prcss,
the Telescope, the Microscope, the
Electric Telegraph, the Chemical Lab,
ratory, and the-Photograph. The
superior unitarian character of the
moderns over the ancients, is most
remarkably Iexemplified in the above
enumeration of the chief efforts sof
the highest mechanical genius Of the
two classes separately considered.
