A driving belt made for an East orn cotton mill is a monster power transm1tter. It is 229 feet in length, double, making 458 feet of leather three feet wide, or 1874 square feet. When it 1t is remembered that only about twelve square feet of the or dinarY hide can be used in making belting, it may be calculated what a drove of cattle would be required tC produced this one belt.

Silver in Solution.

The existence of silver in solution. in tho water pumped from the mines Tn this district, appears to be quite satisfactorily demonstrated. A test recently made at the Robert Lee mine, showed that the amount of sil yer was quite large. The gentleman making the test informed the writer that a pint of water evaporated re suited in residue which, being as saved, left button of silver sufici- ently large to be readily weighed on a bullioe scale. The same person states that there is no question but -t+tls4szc +ea': ne dumps of TOW w-g4de chloride ores, found all over this camp, af, continu ually losing their value in sll yer by natural process ot teaching In support of the above remarks he cited as an instance a European sil yer mine, the waters of which carry z very large amount of silver Tn solu rion; also, a great deal of the preciou: metal, as chlorides, which by crush ing have been levigated, and are car ried in suspension. For years this n@tal was lost, but recently method aas been devised for saving a large )nrtion of 1t. The water lifted iron

An interesting discovery CT much inn
poftnnce for geological and archmologi-
cal SCIENCE has recently been made in o
coal mine at Bully.Grenay, in the French
department of Pas.de-Calais. A new
gallery was being pierced, when cavern
was broken into which discovered the
fossil remains Of five human beings in a
fair state Of preservation; man, two
women and two children composed the
group. The man measured about seven
feet, the woman six feet and six inches,
the children four feet and rather less
than this. In addition, some frag-
ments Of arms and utensils of petrified
wood and Of stone, with numerous re-
mains of mammals and fish, were
brought to light.
A second subterranean chamber in.
closed the remains OF II human bodies
of large size, several animals, and large
number Of various objects, with some
precious stones. Tho walls Of the cave
exhibited drawings representing men
fighting with gigantic animals. Owing
TO the presence Of carbonie anhydride,

peared to be empty was not searched.
