pITCHBLENDE IN COLO.

Some three years ago an intelligent
mineralogist discovered specimens of
pitchblende on the waste dumps OF
Denver City, Colorado, and, recog-
nize the value of the mineral, gathered
quantity and sent it to Swansea,
where it brought five shillings a
pound, or at the rate of 500 ton.
To what extent the mineral occurs in
that region does not appear, but the
incident affords another illustration of
of the facility with which unscientilic
miners may throw away minerals of
more value than those they are look
ing for.
Pitchblende, or uraninite, is an OK
ide of uranium, obtained in Saxony and
Bohemia, and used in fine glass max
ing. Glass colorcd with uranium has
the peculiar property of showing green
when looked at, although perfectly
and purely yellow when looked
through.

Tho Valuo Of Advertising.

We stepped the other day into the store
of ono of our mercantile friends, and was
greeted with tho romark that his advcr-
tiscment had boon of great benefit to him.
We were informed that an article adver-
tiscd by him had been almoct entirely sold,
and that tho sale of it was for the most part
due to tho advertisement This is good and
substantial benefit of letting tho world
know what man keeps in his store or is
doing in his shop. A merchant Jom etimcs
thinks that his use of printers ink does
him no good, but such is not the case. An
advertisement benefits him in ways and
times that nc knows not of. It is well
known fact that tho most successful busi-
ness men at the North have attributed their
success to keeping their names md business
before tho public. So let our friends never
grow weary in tho good work of advcrti-
sing.-Rock Hill Herald.

BILL ARR ON TIE PREss.-Your papor
is great comfort to me; in every number
I find something to put away in my mind
and momory; something that I did not
know before, and which will be of advau-
tage to mo in timo to como. If man can
read nc can get good education by taking
one good paper; he oan keep up with tho
world and make himself on entertaining
member of society; he can talk up little
on most any subject. Book learning is
very good thing, but know man who
has power of that but ho passes for q fool
in his naborhood. Some papors arc not
much account to appearances, but I never
took ono that didn't pay me in somo way
q good deal more than paid it. One timo
on old friend sturtod little paper away
down in Southwestern Georgia aud sent it
to mo, and subscribed Just to encourage
him, and SO after whilo it published q
notice that an administrator had an order to
sell several lots of land at public out,ry,
and one OF the lots was in my county. So
inquired about the lot, and wrote down
to my friend to attcnd tho salo and run it
| to fifty dollars. Ilo did SO, aud bid of tho
lot for me at thirty dollars, aud sold it in
month to man it joined for o hundred,
and so mado sixty eight dollars clear by
taking tha: paper. My father told mo that
when no was q young man he saw notice
in paper thatu school teacher was wanted
away oil in distant county, and hc went
down there and got tho situation, and q
little cir! was sent to him, and after whilo
she grew up mighty sweet and pretty, and
no fell in love with her and married her.
Now, if ho hadn't took that paper, what do
you reckon would have become of me?

1t Was Hot.

From the Detroit Free Pressl
 A good -natured Griswold street lawyer left his office unoccupied for an hour about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and some of the jokers in the block went in and built up rousing fire in his coal stove. He came back with his hat in his hand and almost dead with the heat, and was met on the stairs by law yer, who said
 ''This is the hottest yet. The thermome- ter in my room marks 12O degrees"
 Don't seem possible, though it's scorcher," replied the other, as he went to his room
 He threw down his hat, took off his coat, and began flaming himself but the harder he famed the hotter he grew. Two or three lawyers came in and spoke about how cool his room was compared to theirs, and were greatly puzzled to account forit. Several of fers were made him to change rooms, and pretty soon he grew ashamed of appearing so over-heated, and sat down to his table. In five minutes his shirt collar fell flat, and in ten he hadn't any starch in his shirt. The precipitation ran about in every direction, and he seemed to be boiling, when one of his friends looked in and remarked
 ttAhl old boy, envy you. You've got the coolest room in the block"
 Say" said the lawyer as he staggered over to the door, sT'm going home. Inever felt so queer in all my life. While I know that the room is cool and airy, I'm so baked and boiled that I can't lift hand. One drink of brandy wouldn't act that way on a man, would it ?''
 'sThat's just it,'' whispered the other Brandy always acts that way, especially if you drink alone. You ought to have known better.''
 sfSo had-so Ihad. Don't say word to the boys-I'n make it all right I thought something must ail me, and I was little afraid I was going to be sent Efor. I'm glad it's nothing serious-I'n be back in about two hours"

How to Be Weatherwise.

John H. Tice, the weather prophet of St. Louis, gives the following directions to those who aspire to be weatherwise:
 As everybody is interested in the weather, so each one should qualify himself or herself to read the sky, and to interpret the meaning of the wind, sky and clouds.
 An intensely blue and serene sky indicates heavy rains and severe storms in from twelve to forty eight hours. A gray, hay sky indi- cates continuous dry and generally hot weather.
 A southeast wind indicates the existence of low barometer, if not a storm centre, in the northwest. The aspects of the sky and clouds will tell whether 1t means mischief or not And almost immediate cessation of rain may be expected as soon as the northwest wind sets in. It matters not what the poets of the sky are when the west wind sets in fair weather will ensue it, and continue from three to four days. The passage of a storm centre from the Gulf and southeast ward of our locality is a partial exception only so far that it clears off more easily
 There really are but two primary kinds of clouds, namely, CD those that float at great height above the earth's surface, and CD those that float low. Those that float high, say from six to ten miles, are of 8 fbrous and gauzy structure they are hence called cirrus, that is hair tuft clouds The clouds that form inSthe lower strata of the atmosphere, say from one to three miles above the earth, are irregular in structure, and of more or less nodular form. They are called the cumulus, that is, the heap or pile cloud
 While the cirrus remains nebular in struc- ture and indistinctly defined against the sky, no rain may be expected. Under the low ba- rometer, however, they develop by accretion, become smooth and compact in structure and much enlarged in volume. They now sink lower and become sharply defined against the blue sky. Rain may now be expected, especially if they unite with the cumulus forming the nimbus or raincloud. If the cir rus instead of forming the nimbus, ,reascends, 1t dissipates, and no rain need be expected until it lowers again, which generally is in twenty-four hours.
