How The Lehigh Zinc Mines were Discovered
by Rare Plant.

A BOUT three miles to the westward
IA of Hellertown station is situated
the little village of Friedensville, known
far and near from its connection with the
Lehigh zinc mines. These mines have
been worked for this valuable metal for
number of years, and with regard to
their original discovery an interesting
story is told by the Easton Free Press
which shows the advantage of a scien-
tific education.
On bright summers day in the year
lS45,a savan skilled in the living science
of botany, as well as the dead one of ge-
ology, was making an excursion across
these fields intent upon adding some of
their products to the contents of his
herbarium when he recognized a rare
plant which he knew grew only in con-
nection with some ore of zinc, or where
this metal was abundantly found, and
was commonly situated in close proxim-
ity to the outcrop of the vein itself.
Reasoning upon this discovery, he sur
missed, the existence of zinc deposit,
and, as the surroundings were favorable
he had search made, and was rewarded
with the discovery of this valuable mine.
Not long afterward company was
formed for the working Of the deposit,
and furnaces and smelling works were
erected at Bethlehem for the purpose of
reducing the ores.

0'Conor's Wooing.

Charles O'Conor has very direct ways
about him. The story of his wooing is
thus told: The young and beautiful
widow of Commodore M'Cracken of our
navy, returned from abroad after her
husbands death, and finding her finan-
cial affairs in complicated state went
to Mr.. O'Conor to get his legal advice in
disentangling them. Mr.. O'Conor, upon
examination, discovered that the COM
modore had died insolvent, and the beau
tiful widow was left to the cold mercies
of selfish world without penny to
call her own. This fact he was obliged
to break to her, whereupon she held up
her hands in piteous dismay, crying,
I" oh, Mr.. O'Conor, what shall dop
who have lived in luxury all my life?
" Madam" said the great lawyer, "the
best advice can give you is to marry
me-" Whereupon they were married.

An Expensive Fire.
II JONES, you have heard of the fire
u that burned up that mans house

y
u that burned up that mans house
and lot ~
"No, Smith, where was it?''
"'Here in the city,
"What misfortune Was it good
house?"
Eyes, a nice house and lot-a good
home for any family"
What pity. How did it take fireY"
"The man played with fire, and
thoughtlessly set it himself"
" How silly Did you say that the lot
was burned, too?"
Yes, lot and ALL All gone slick and
clean.'
That's singular. 1t must have been
terrible fire-and then 1 don't well see
how it could burn the lot"
"No, it was not large fire, nota very
hot fire. Indeed, it was so small that it
attracted but little attention"
''But how could such a little fire burn
up house and lot ? You haven't told
me-"
"It burned long time-more than
twenty years-and though it seemed to
consume very slowly, yet it wore away
about $3.50 worth every year, until it was
all gone"
''I can't understand you yet. Tell me
all about it,"
Well, it was kindled in the end of a
cigar. The cigar cost him, he himself
told me, twelve and half dollars a
month, or $3.50 year; and that, in
twenty-one years, would amount to
S3 ,450, besides all the interest. Now the
whole sum wouldn't be far from $4,000.
That would buy fine house and lot. 1t
would pay for large farm in the
country"
Whew l guess now you mean me,
for have smoked more than twenty
years but didn't know it cost as much
as that. And L haven't any house OF
my own. Have always rented-thought
L was too poor to own house. And all
because have been burning it up!
What fool have been ~
The boys had better never set fire
which costs so much, and which, though
it might be SO easily put out, is yet so
likely, if once kindled, to keep burning
all their lives.

The Latest Waists.

Ladies' waists, says fashion writer,
are now made to appear, by the dress
bodices as extending behind lower. than
the spine. To produce the required
length with as little breadth and thick
ness as possible is the modiste's aim.
In this she is assisted, of course, by her
patrons, who not only weartheir stays
whose whalebones fail to cease where
anatomy suggests-laced over their
skirts, but the new skirts are devoid of
starch or stifiening of any kind. In
fact, many ladies', in order to obviate all
chance of bunchiness at the hips, have
discarded muslin petticoats and wear
instead long flannel one trimmed about
the bottom with an embroidered flounce,
with costumes, and short flannel
petticoat with long, narrow white
surah one over it, for evening toilets.

trlct, like the one on the other side of
the mountain, is very much broken UP
by anticlinals and synlinals, contor-
tons, bendings, and probably faults.
Numerous varieties of the ores of zinc
have been found at this mine, and some
very fine specimens are shown in the
company's cabinet at Bethlehem. The
ore from which large quantity of the
metal is derived is zinc bIende or sui
phuret of zinc, which is one of the most
Protean metals known, assuming nu-
merous forms. Occasionally 1t will
have the lustre and color of beeswax !;
again IL will possess a certain degree of
translucency, combined with yellowish
brown color, and peculiarly fracture,
when, save by its specific gravity, it is
very difficult to distinguish from rosin.
Another variety of the same ore ex-
actly resembles the ordinary gray lime
stone of the region, and sometimes it
appears like the yellow sulphur Of COM

pose, and has enlarged his store, fronting on
Main street.
On the opposite corner of Coryell and Main
streets, another change has taken place. Mr..
Amos S. Burroughs, formerly of the firm of
