Gold is used more extensively IN the arts
than is generally imagined 1t Is stated that
nearly $50, 900 worth Of this metal is consumed
every year in the decoration OF chinaware, IN
England, principally at the stafordshire potte-
fies. The total amount used In gliding gene
rally in England and France Is estimated at
500, 200 per annum. The trades in England
using standard gold. go regularly to the mint
and purchase the clipped sove-eigns BY weight.
In this way the government saves the expense
OF recoinage Of the Light pieces, and satisfy a
legitimate demand of the industrial arts.
The great fire in the pine woods OF the up
per peninsular Of Michigan is described as a
most magnificent sight. For more than week
pastthe whole atmosphere has been timex with
smoke, at times obscuring the sun. Persons
who have approached the fire describe it as
vast w,lirlwind, in the shape OF funnel, trav-
: cling through the woods at railway speed, set
ting fire to and burning everything in it's way.
The destruction of timber has been very great,
and the piles OF green cord wood are consumed
in a short time, in spite of every eIerdon.
