Natural Dissemination of Gold.

Some years since very interesting
series of experiments was made by the
late Mr.. J. Il. Eckfcldt, then chief-as-
sayer of the mint at Philadelphia, and
his associate, Mr.. w. E. Dubois (the pres.
ent incumbenO, upon the Natural Dis
semination of Gold" The results were
presented to the American Philosophical
Society, in the form of paper, by Mr..
Dubois, and published in their "Pro-
ceedings" of June II, 1861.
The precious metal was found dis
seminated in marvelously fine division
through number of substances where
its existence had not been previously
suspected.
In the clay of which the Philadelphia
bricks are made, gold was found in the
proportion of about forty cents worth to
the ton. Each brick contains a sufficient
amount of gold to make a glittering
show of two square inches, If brought to
the surface in the form of leaf.
An estimate of the thickness of the
bed of clay under the city revealed the
startling fact that more gold lies Sc
curely locked up in it than has been pro-
cured, according to the statistics, from
Australia and California. A specimen of
gslena from Bucks county, Pennsylva-
MIA, yielded gold in the proportion of one
part Of gold in six million two hundred
and twenty thousand (6,22O, 0OO) parts of
ore; not quite ten cents to the ton. The
report of these experiments concludes as
follows: "Of this we may be confident,
that the atoms of gold are homogeneous
ly and equally dispersed through the
clay, or other mstrix; but by what nat
ural process OF for what final cause these
fine particles should be thus diffuscd,
seems quite beyond the reach Of human
philosophy. "--Popuiar Science 1e"thly.

CURRANT JEILY.-Fill porcelain pro-
serving kettle with currauts we'll picked
over, but not stemmed, set it over the fire
until the currants are thoroughly heated,
when cool strain through jelly bag and
measure the juice, stir until thoroughly
dissolved, pour into glasses or bowls, and
seal when cold. My practice in making
jelly is to use the currants as soon as ripe
not delay one day; if allowed to get
fully mature or as commonly termed
"dead ripe" there is more difficulty in
making good jelly.
GREEN TOMATO PREsERvR.-ChoOse
the tomatoes Of the small cluster kind,
just turning white, ss they do before

SINGING IN THE FAMILy.-Cultivate
singing in the family. Begin when the
child is not yet three years old. The
songs and hymns your mother sang, bring
them all back to your memory, and
teach them to your little ones; mix them
all together, to meet the similar moods,
as in after life they come over Us so mys-
teriously sometimes. Many time aud
oft, in the very whirl of business; in the
sunshine and gayety of the streets, and
amid the splendor Of the drives in park,
come little thing wakes up the memories
Of early youth-the old mill; the cool
spring; the shady tree by the little
school-house-and the next instant we
almost see again the ruddy cheeks, the
smiling faces, and tho merry eyes OF
schoolmates, some gray headed now, n ost
"lie Wondering in the grave" And 1.-THE
song your mother sang" springs unbid-
den to the lips, and soothes and sweetens
all these memories

WATERMELON VINEGAR. - Solomon
Jewett, now a resident of Vermont, writes
to the World as follows: About ten years
ago, while on sheep ranch, 1855 miles
back from Los Angeles, CAL, from whence
we received our supplies, took 40.
gallon oaken cask, and filed it with ripe,
or nearly ripe, watermelons, all being
bruised to pulp or into quite small
fragments, with wooden FOUNDER, as
they were thrown in. Then the head was
replaced, and every day we changed ends,
one resting on the ground. In q little
time the rinds of the melons changed to
pulp, and the whole mass was formed
into pleasant but not strong vinegar.
But by the addition of few quarts of
molasses, we drew out occasionally from
the larger cask into the smaller one, sup
piled with the plant, or smother" all Of
which made very fine vinegar.
