The Wonderful Telluride.

professor Jaldin Smith, state geologist
of Colorado, lately telegraphed that the
most remarkable "strike" made since
1875 in the wonderfully rich telluride
belt of Colorado had just been made in
the cross cut from the American to the
Ajax lode, in the American consolidated
company's property. The mail brings
full description of the new vein and
samples of the ore, which prove to be as
rich telluride and free gold ore as the
famous samples from the American, some
of which have yielded al the United
States assay Office here at the rate Of
$40. 900 per ton, and others ran up as
high as 500, 900 per ton. The workings
in the American itself continue to show
increase of ore with depth and increase
in average value. The developments
continue to increase the reserves of ore,
notwithstanding the increase of. output.
Workings on the "slide," the newly
acquired property of the American, are
being pushed in that shaft and levels,
and this vein holds its exceptional
average, the developments ON the vein
yielding over 5000 per mining fathom.
The entire reserves, opened by nearly
one thousand feet of shaft and levels In
the "slide,o are still intact, no stopping
having been done to date. This, however,
will soon be done, doubling the output
of the American consolidated. The
immediate effect of these successes is
extraordinary stimulus to mining and
business throughout the entire belt of
this the richest ore ever found.

Myths Are EBme Sym bols Of Trmth.

AS the scholar sees in the vain but beauti~
full mythologies of the ancients the embodied
expressions of the hungry human soul,
blindly cropping after the Infinite, so the
physician sees in that popular myth of the
sixteenth century the fountain of perpetual
health and youth--ar expession of the long.
ings of suffering humanity for remedy that
should forever prevent the incursion of dis
ease. The wilds of Europe were ransacked
for this wonderful fountain, and Ponce de
Leon sought for it in the cypress~swamps
| and tangled everglades of our sunny Florida.
Men have searched for it. everywhere and
anywhere but where it really is-in the hu-
| man body itself. The blood is the real foun-
tain of perpetual health and youth. When
this source is corrupted, the painful and
sorrow-producing effects are visible in many
shapes. The multifarious forms in which it
manifests itself would form subjects upon
| which might write volumes. But as all the
varied forms of disease which depend upon
bad blood are cured, or best treated. by such
medicines as take up from this fluid and ex.,
crete from the system the noxious elements,
it is not of practical impor, snce that should
describe each. For instance, medical authors
| describe about fifty varieties of skin diseases,
but as they all require for their cure very
similar treatment, it is of no practical utility
to know Just what name to apply to certain
form of skin disease, SO you know how best
to sure it. Then again, might go on and
describe various kinds OF scrofuious sores,
fever sores, white swellings, enlarged glands,
and ulcers Of varying appearance; might
describe how yirulent poison may show itself
in varieus forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore
throat, bony tumors, etc. but as all these
various.appearing manifestations of bad
blood are cured by uniform means, deem
such course unnecessary. Thoroughly
cleanse the blood, which is the great fountain
Of life, and good digestion, fair skin, buoy
ant spirits, vital strength, and soundness Of
constitution, will all return to us. For this

Mari and Lime as Fertilizers.

Sand or clay was most conspicuous in
the marls used by European farmers.
Chemistry revealed the presence Of lime,
iron, potash, magnesia, soda, chlorine,
phosphoric, sulphuric and carbonic acids
in many marls. The fertilizing substan-
ces attracted more attention than either
sand or clay, for their value depends
mainly on the alkaline earths, alkalies
and acids present. Lime and magnesia
are called alkaline earths; potash and
soda, alkalies. ANY earth deposit
whether clay or sand predominates, that
contains good deal of soft unctious
ime, magnesia or potash, may be con-
sidered as variety of mari.
II seems that minerals which form the
food of plants, have an attraction for
each other 70 as to accumulate in masses,
instead Of remaining widely separated as
in the ocean or in primitive rocks. For
instance, there is a law which unites the
lime derived from hornblends and SVEN
enite with potash that comes from very
different rock, namely, granite. Our
largest oaks, poplars and hickories grow
on limestone soils, where they find not
only lime, but full supply Of potash, as
may be demonstrated by the strength of
their ashes in this alkali. Let one learn
how rich mari is formed by manure,
and he win be likely to understand
how fertile soils are made.
The same law that accumulates lime
rock in mountain masses, and iron in
little less quantities, collects salts Of soda,
magnesia, potash and lime in quantities
available as manure in concentrated
form. Thus, the phosphates found in
South Carolina are sent to England to be-
used as food for growing crops, along
with nitrates from Chill and guano from
Peru. Mineralfertilizers should be more
studied, for they exist wherever agri.
culture Is possible; and mari and lime

Skin of Flesh-Eating Animals.

Turning to the structure of the group,
one of the first things that strikes US is
the looseness of their skin, which instead
of being stretched on the body as tightly
as drum parchment, as it is in grass
eaters-.for instance, the OK or hippopota-
mus-is quite "baggy," having between
it and the flesh OF the beast layer of the
loosest possible fbers. It is for this
reason that the skin of any but very
fat dog can be pinched up SO readily,
while of Herbivore it may be said, in
the words of eulogy uttered by Mr..
Squeers of his son. Wackford, Here's
frmness, here's solidness! why you can
hardly get up enough Of him between
your fingers and thumb to pinch him
anywhere" In consequence of this the
operation of skinning lion or bear is
a comparatively easy one. After the
first cut the beast may be pulled out of
its skin, almost without further use of
the knife; while with the antelope or an
OK the skin has to be cut ava, carefully
and laboriously fram the underlying
flesh. The use of this loose skin will be
very evident to any one who will take
the trouble to watch the great cats play
ing together at the Geological Gardens.
They are continually scratching one
another; but the loose skin is dragged
round by the claws, which, in conse.
quence, can get no hold, and do no harm !;
with tight ski1, on the other hand, the
slightest scratch of such claw as a
tigers, would cause 8 serious wound.
The looseness of the skin is very evident
in the puma and jaguar, in which it
hangs in fold along the middle of the
belly, like great dewlap. Cassell's

Of the world. The attention of such is

armers' cattle killed in twelve months,

/ farmers cattle killed in twelve months
I tell the reader of the existence Of kind
of warfare from year to year and from
generation to generation, of which we
know next to nothing in the southern
states. The government of the empress
of India pays bounty for the destruc-
ton of the snakes and ferocious beasts
most harmful to man, and we find the
statistics exceedingly interesting. Wolves
killed 1,o61 persons, and in return 2,525
wolves were slain. Tigers killed 828
persons. The number of tigers slain is
not stated. Leopards slew 204 human
beings and of these animals 2,512 were
slain, the bounty being high to
lessen their number. Bears slew 81
persons and lost in the warfare, 1,181
of their number. Hyenas slew 68 of our
species, and 1886 of the tribe were slain.
Strange to say, wild beasts commit little
havoc as compared with the loss by
snakes. In the year under notice these
reptiles killed 1910 of our fellow-beings
"a very respectable army.
But the war was carried into Asia by
the government of the new empress of
India, which paid bounty on the sew
eral heads of 27O,1S5 poisonous snakes
killed in one year. Did this enmity be-
tween man and the serpent begin with
our first parents? 1t is curious that
while snakes killed over 10000 of the
biped that laughs and cries, they caused
the death of only 3,166 cattle. In the
province OF Madras leopards killed 4,309
cattle and only A human beings.
We have cited facts enough to prove
that the wheat and cotton growers in
British India labor under peculiar diff.
culties.
it is mistake to suppose that Nature
and Providence favor man conspicuosly at
the expense of reptiles, tigers and
wolves. While woman in her best
state adds one or two to the pop
ulation of India of her species
a female serpent may add 100 to her low
reptile race. Hence, war of extermi-
nation against poisonous snakes waged
5000, and, probably, $4,000 years, finds
these snakes numerous enough to kill
II 900 OF their enemies in q year in
single nation. Agricultural obstacles
are net SO easily surmounted as many
suppose. As farmers we must go back
to the origin of things.
Not to do so is to take a very super
fetal view Of agriculture. Our advan-
tages are large, but not without some
prominent disadvantages. Perhaps the
greatest difficulty we encounter is the
absence of taste for sound agricultural
reading and want of appreciation of
useful knowledge. In his late message
to the legislature, Gov. Robinson, of New
York, says the common school libraries
of that state contain 765, ,546 volumes,
equal toabout 70 to each school. Agri-
cultural libraries are too little known to
common farmers in the south and west.

are proper starting points in the investi
CATION. An East Tennessee farmer says
| that it costs him only $500 to burn SOC
bushels Of lime, an average Of u cents 8
bushel.
He applies from $50 to $50 bushels OF
unslacked lime to the acre, and spreads
it as soon as the heaps become air-slaked.
He finds it profitable on both clay and
sandy lands. This is burning lime for
less than half the cost in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and New York. MARI is
more used in New Jersey than in any
other state. Potash mari is preferred.
The German chloride of potassium is re-
garded as the cheapest source Of this
alkali, except where one has mari that
contains it near by. Lining helps soils
to produce clover and wheat.
Mixing clay and sandy land to im'
prove the texture and constituents of
both is practice quite as old as any
written history and lining and marling
are the FIRST steps In advance of that
primitive art. PAIRING turf and chsrring
it to obtain turf ashes and roasted clay
come next in order. There are many
ways in which fire will increase the solu.
bility of minerals used as plant food,
besides burning limestone, bones, clays
and rotten granite. A little heat pro-
notes fermentation and the revolution of
much carbonic acid gas, which is a power
full solvent. Water thrown on quick
lime generates at once a remarkable
amount of heat.
We have known this heat used to kill
the life in the seed OF weeds that may
exist in dungheap. The lime is slaked
under the heap of manure. Lime is not
to be regarded as substitute for manure,
but as an aid to increase fruitfulness. A
little stable manure goes farther on land
marled or lined than on land not to be 80
treated. Glover, peas, and other reno.
waiting plants do better on calcareous soils
than on those where lime is deficient.
1t often happens that one must improve
titled ground or abandon his farm, or
work for very small compensation.
