SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE
HOW MINERAL DEPOSITS ARE FORMED.

HOW MINERAL DEfOoilo AM CA-A
The metallic solutions which have formed
our ore deposits have been ascribed to TWO
sources. One theory supposes that they nave
drained highly metalliterous zones deep IN
the interior of the earth the other, that they
have leached diffused metals from rocks OF
different kinds comparatively near the sur
face. The latter view is the one that Profess
sor Newberry favors. However probable
such thing might SEEM, no. evil
dence of the existence of distinct
metallic or metalliferous zones in the interior
Of the earth has been gathered. On the con-
emissions which may be supposed to draw
from a lower level than water could reach,
are not specially rich in metallic matters, aud
the thermal waters which have by their de-
post filled our mineral veins must have de-
rived their metallic salts from zone not
many thousand feet from the surface.
The mineral springs, which are now doing
similar work. are but part of a round or cir
culatiOn of surface water, which, falling from
the clouds, penetrstes the earth to point
where the temperature Is such as 10 drive IL
back in steam This, with fluid water under
pressure and highly heated, possessing great
solvent power, NAV be forced through vast
beds of rock, and these be effectually leached
by the process. Should such rocks contain
the minutest imaginary quantity of the
metals these must inevitably be taken INTO
solution. and thus flow toward or TO
the surface, to be deposited when, by di-
minished temperature and pressure, the solvent
power of the mensruum Is diminished. 1t Is
evident from these facts that we cannot trace
the history of the metals back beyond the
LaureDtian age. And since we find them diff
fused in greater or less quantity through the
sedimentary rocks of all ages, and also find
processes in action which are removing and
redep0siting them in the form OF the ore de-
posits we mine, il is not necessary TO look
further than this for SUFFICIENT theory OF
their formation.

SIN SPOTS AND WEATHER.

Those meteorologists who believe that the
weather depends upon the presence or absence
of spots on the sun do not get much comfort
from Mr.. Dallas. of the British Meteorologi-
cal Office. According TO Mr.: Dallas all pre-,
dictions or assumptions based on the assumed
concord between sun spots and the weather In the
British Isles are worthless. There Is no con-
cord whatever, he says-and he adduces facts
and figures which certainly appear 10 bear out
the assertion-between the relative number or
sun spots and the heat radiated on the British
Isles.

STOPPING ENGINES BY ELECTRICITY

An improved methci of stopping esngin es,
says The Electrician has recently been devised.
The main object of the device is to enable
any child or unskilled person in any part OF a
mill to stop the engine in case of accident. The
action IL exceedingly simple. BY touching u
snripg similar to the spring of an electric bell
an electric ball is set in motion. The ball
drops and shuts one of the valves, which pre-
vents the steam from escaping, and the engine
is brought TO a standstill.
