Learning 10 Swim.

EVERY boy should learn tn swim. II is
both pleasant and healthtul sport !:
and in these days when So many travel
over sea or ocean, or are carr cd from one
place to another along our coasts, or up
aud down our rivers. not fc F.. sometimes
su uidcnly find themselves in the water,
when life depends upon reaching bale
OF cotton, or Il plank, or something else
floating near.
IL is estimated that from fifty TO hun
dred persons annually lose their lives in
the United States alone for lack of know
ing how TO swim. Boys should learn
when they are young, and this is the way
TO begin:
A boy who cannot swim should never
go into The water without the consent OF
bis parents. They always know what is
best. Neither should he go except in
company with some swimmer; and, most
important of all, he should never venture
in where the water is beyond his depth,
or where there may be deep hole either

Gold and its GOings.

The estimated amount of gold in exist
cree at the commencement of the
Christian era was $427,C00.000. At the
discovery Of America, in l f32, this amount
bad diminished to 100000. In 1000
the amount had risen to Sl05,00G,OO0; in
1TG0 to $351, ,000s00; in 1900 to Sl,2N :
000,G00. The Russian mines, extending
over onc-third of the surface of the glsbe,
Oh parallel 80 degrees north latitude,
were discovered in 1919.
In 1918 the estimated amount Of gold
in existence was S2,000,000, 0,O00
Next followed the discoveries in Cali
fornia, February 8, 1913, and in Australia,
February 12, 1851, which added enor.
n.ously to the gold production. In 1853 the
amount in existence was computed st
$3,000, ,G00,000; and in 1859 It was Sd 900, :
OG0, 500.
Ffof1 the commencement Of the Christ
ian era to the discovery OF America, it
was estimated that gold had been taken
from the surface ana mined TO the amount
Of $500 Geo. GEO. From that date to the
close OF 1872, 3, 800, ,0C0, coo; to 1850, Rus
sia adds STAG 00C eco, and California and
Australia $4,000, ,00000O more. The
amount Of gold at present in existence is
estimated ct S5,950,00O,000. The quantity
of gold and silver coin of all denominations,
in all quarters of the globe. is set down
by the best authorities at from three to
four hundred million pounds sterling, ard
the quantity of plate and ornaments al
about $4G0 100000
In the reign OF Darius gold was thir-
teen times more valuable, weight for
weight, than silver. In the time Of Plato
it was twelve times more valuable In
that of Julius Cesar gold was only nine
times more valuable, owing, perhaps, to
the enormous quantities of gold seized by
to ask what became of the gold and
silver? A paper read before the Poly.
technic Association by DR.. Stephens, re-
Gently, is calculated TO meet this inquiry.
He says Of our annual gold product, full
- per cent is melted down for
manufacture; 81 per cent goes
to Europe; % per cent to Cuba Is per
cent to Brazil; per cent direct to China,
Japan, and the Indies; leaving but per
cent tor circulation in this country. OF
that which goes to Cuba, the West Indies
and Brazil, full 80 per cent finds its way
to Europe, where, after deducting q large
percentage used in man ufacturing, four
tifths of the remainder is exported to In.

metal is at an end. Here the supply, how
ever vast, is absorbed, and never returns
