A Curious Breakfast of a Cod

The Scottish Leather Trader of Glas-
gov has this to say about an enormous
cod, weighing seventy three pounds. The
great size Of the fish, and his evidently
dlstended paunch, attracted our attention
as he lay in the window with his mouth
open as wide as door, and induced rs to
make an investigation The dealer was
kind enough, after selling the head and
shoulders to the ST. Enochs Hotel. to per-
NIT us to examine the interior of the sea
monster. We were surprised to find in
the stomach, among other curiosities. a.
mans e!astic-side boot; but the most re-
markabe thing about the boot was the
effect that had been produced on the
leather and othA materials of which the
boot had been made by the action of the
juices In the process Of digestion. The
leather was bleached dead white. and
as clean as the day it left the beam-house
to 90 into the tan. Was it chrome or
bark that had deserted its habitation so
completely? We could not tell the stuff
before us was simply green hide, soft and

Saving process than yet known to me
unless chlorination shall serve that pur
pose. To my mind its chief objection i,
that it is expensive. l should also advo
cate dry crushing. Upon good man,

thin and delicate that it will be readil,
carried of by water To illustrate how
readily this occurs with the fine gold il
the Tellurium ore, l will cite a single
example: Prof NJ. H. Stowe, of Wash
lngton, D. c., assayed some of the Tel
lurium ore as follows, viz: the ore was
crushed and passed through seive, 60
holes per inch, was then agitated i'll
water and allowed 80 seconds to settle,
the water was then poured off, filtered
rinsed, dried, and assayed, and gave in
gold $3S9S. The aggregate of this
together with the gold which subsidized
made the ore worth SS606.
18th. Value of Virginia gold ores,
assay of so tons Tellurium ore, gave an
average of $5l.22 per ton, the highest
being $3.50 and the lowest $3.50.
The best information can give of the
general value Of the gold ores in Virginia
is to say that the average is some
where between So and SIS per tor. The
ores are abundant, and l have no recol-
lection of seeing any one from one of our
acknowledged gold mines run under "a
per ton.
18th. Cost of gold mining and milling
in Virginia. | am indebted to Prof.
Stowe for the itemized cost of mining
and milling in Virginia, which statement
he has made up by carefully kept re-
cord upon the Ellis gold mine in Vir-
ginia. He concludes his paper in these
words Total of mining and milling at
the Ellis, may be put at, per ton, 50 20
18th. THE Virginia Burke Rocker"
about which you inquire, is a mere cradle
like a closed infants cradle, made water
tight, open at the top and provided with
a perforated sheet-iron bottom, (false and
above the true bottom) and chamber
below, charged with mercury for pur-
poses of amalgamation. The whole is
placed upon rockers for agitation of
gravel, ETC., with water which is con-
stantly kept pouring upon it. 1t is a
rude fixture, but very popular in Vir-
ginia for placer miners, or surface"
washers.
Very respectfully submitted,

The Size of Molecules.

With regard to the absolute diameter
of molecule and their number in given
space, everything at present is only pro-
bable conjecture. Still it may be inter
esting to state the views which are held
on these questions by such investigators
as Sir William Thompson and the late
Professor Clerk-Maxwell; but we give
these without attempting to indicate the
character of the speculations on which
their conclusions rest. Summing up then
both the known and unknown, we NAV
state that the molecular weights and
veloclties of many substances are accu-
rately known. 1t is also coniectured
that collisions take place among the
molecules of hydrogen at the rate of sew
enteen million million million per second
aud in oxygen they are less than half
that number. The diameter of the nv
drogen molecule may be such that two
million of them in row would measure
millimetre. Lastly, it is coniectured
that million million-million- million hy-
drogen molecules would weigh about four
grammes; while nineteen million million
million would be contained in a cubic
centimetre. Figures like these convex
no meaning to the mind, and they are
introduced her only to show the character
and present state Of the research. Cham

Reports from the crons

[ have received reports from between
30 to 40 counties in the State regarding
the condition of the crops for June, and
am sorry to say they are decidedly I'M
favorable-those regarding wheat are
very much SO; only few correspondents
reporting favorably. Corn has come
up badly, is injured by cut worm, and is
very backward. Oats Indifferent, tobacco
plants plenty, and persons have been busy
setting out during the late season, which
is the first they have had. Peaches
generally killed, pears and apples abun-
dant. | have not yet heard from but few
of the best wheat countries.

His cont and vest were cut through

Closing Of Hopginsville High

was Inadvertently not mentioned las,

weeks examinations, all written. and
though they were very rigid, the stu
dents had been so thoroughly drilled
in the various branches, that several
of them, by the closest marking, OBJ

maximum. Mai. Terrell has no su-
perior as all instructor. lie UNDER
stands how to teach boys, and infuse
into them audable desire TO excel
and by ranking them each month they
ure induced to make greater efforts to
master their studies aud excel each
other in rank. We were permitted to
inspect some Of tho examination pa
pers and they were inarvels of neat
ness aud accuracy. This way OF ex-
aiming pupils Is far better than oral
examinations. A pnpil realizes that
he must depend on himselfalonc, and
he tries the harder to prepare himself
for tho ordeal through which he is ex-
pected to pass. That the boys and
young gentlemen acquitted them
selves so croditably is another tesla
monial to Maj, Ferrell's efficiency as
n teacher. On Friday morning the
declamatory exercises wers listened
to by an appreciatiye audience, at the
academy. II is needless to say
that the efforts Of the young gentle
men were successful in marked de-
gree. Some of them possess orator.
ical powers and talent of high
order, and all OF them did themselves
credit. Parents can do no better than
entrust their sons to Maj Ferrcll's
tutorage. n
