Metallic Accumulation in the Earth.


In work of real value on the sub
several years since in England by Mr..
Jacobs, the suggestion is thrown out
that it is possible that gold, silver,
copper, iron, ETC., actually reaccumu-
late in certain localities under the po-
tent influence of law not yet discov.
cred Such is the loss of coined
metals in this and all commercial
countries of Europe, by mere friction
of the pieces in the pocket, and IN
packing, repacking. and by transpor-
tation, as to amount to startling sum
in the aggregate in single year,
A grave question is this: What be-
comes oft? The incest chemical re-
searches into the composition of the
soil where the major part thus lost by
abrasion disappears does not show the
slightest trace of it. What becomes
OF the pins? That is an equally philo-
sophical inquiry-made the more ur-
gent when it is recollected that four
teen tons of brass wire is manufactur-
ed into pins In one town daily.
1t seems, therefore, when the metals
are reduced to impalpable atoms, as
they are by use, they are transported
by the atmosphere where they are re-
collected and re-consoiidated. 1t is
by no means an. unscientific thought
that such. involvement of atoms may
take place. Miners in gold regions
re-sift the earth. after a. year or two.
which had every particle of gold
washed out at first, because they say
it grows again Here is. a hint, at
least, for commencing some new train
oflinvestigations. aa 5ala.. s ID
What an enormous quantity of iron
decomposes and disappears annually,
everywhere, if not protected against
the disintegrating Influences of air and
water, which is not to be found where
it disappeared; and the inquiry is per-
tinently Observation-Disclosures does it
go to? 4ta flt Z. 49,
Beyond a doubt all the metals are
subjected to laws like all other ele-
ments. Their separation from their
native localities like burning coal, is
but liberating a prisoner. After vari-
Gus phases above ground they wear
out. and at last they diminish in
volume and disappear; but they are
not lost. In the course of ages they
are re conducted to.regions that have
the property of concentrating floating
atoms, and again they are dug out of
| the rocks for the qualification of never
satisfied man. 49,
Untold thousands of tons of gold
and silver disappeared three thousand
years ago, which may now be re gath
ering in the Pacific mines or in the
sands of Africa. All the iron ships
will sail for unknown aerial ports at
last, and, at some vastly distant epoch
in the future history of the globe we
inhabit, again be quarried, smelted,
aud fashioned for the use of our de-
scendants when the world is further
advanced in wisdom. = Harper S

ports of the islands, which are chiefly
agricultural, amount to about 81 ,O00,-

in excess of that sum- The Govern

posed to be anxious to sell out Since
the advent Of missionaries, in 1920,
the islands have been, to some extent.
mericanized. Schools and courts
have been established; the American
style of dress has been introduced; the
English language is taught and used
to a very great extent; and of late
years a number of the Cabinet officers
have been Americans. The decrease
in the population in these islands Is
more remarkable. IN 1923 the popu-
lation was 10000; in 1892 it was l30,

in 1853. 70, 230. La a country where
food is abundant and cheap, where
epidemcs are unfrequent, and where
the mean temperature Of the year Is
IS degrees, this decrease in population
is wholly due to the vices of the peo-
pie. not simply or mainly of the pres
ent population, but of their ancestors
from time immemorial The Hawai-
ians seem destined to share the fate of
the Indians. They are not dying off
as rapidly, but as surely.

Charles Dickens Sees a vision.

Mr.. Dickens relates in Aitbe Year
Round the story of strange coinci-
dence, having, almost supernatural
character, which recently occurred to
himself. 1t is contained in note
which he appends to an article by a
contri butter, who advances some new
theories with regard to spectral APP
pearances. and tells the famous stories
of Lord Lyttleton with some add
tons not hitherto published) and of
Lord Tyrone and Lady Beresford.
Remarking on the latter, Mr.. Dickens
thinks that natural explanations are
sufficient; and, in illustration of the
broad margin of allowance that must
always be left for coincidence in these
cases." tells the following singular
story: I'VE dreamed that we were in
a large assembly. and saw a lady in a
bright red wrapper, whom we thought
we knew Her back being towards US,
we touched her. On looking round
she disclosed face that was unknown
to US, and, on our apologizing. said,
pleasantly: Il am Miss N, men,
tioning name, not the name of any
friend or acquaintance we had, al
though well-known name. The
dream was unusually vivid, and we
awoke. On the very next evening we
recognized with strange feeling),
coming in at the open door of our
room, the lady of the dream, in the
bright red wrapper. More extraordi-
nary still, the lady was presented by
the friend who accompanied her, as
Miss N, the name in the dream.
No circumstance, near or remote, that
we could ever trace, in the least ac-
count for this. The lady came on the
real. common place visit, in pursuance
of an appointment quite unexpectedly
made with the lady who introduced
her, only on the night of the dream.
From the latter we had no previous
knowledge of her name, nor of her
existence"
