Origin of Gold.

The question of the origin of native gold
always has been and is quite likely to re-
main disputed question among geologists
and mineralogists. Prof. ]. s. Newberry
now contests the theory that the grains and
nuggets found in placers are formed by pre-
cipitation from chemical solution. He
holds that geology teaches, in regard to the
genesis and distribution of this precious
metal, that it exists in the oldest known
rocks, and has been thence distributed
through all the strata derived from them
that in the metamorphosis of these derived
rocks it has been concentrated into segre-
gated quartz veins by some process not yet
understood: that is, it is a constituent of
fssure veins of all geological ages where it
has been deposited from hot chemical So
lutions, which have reached deeply buried
rocks of various kinds, gathering from
them gold with other metallic minerals, and
that gold has been accumulated through
mechanical agents in placer deposits by the
erosion of strata containing auriferous veins.
According to the report of Special Agent
Clarence King, of the census, based upon
information directly from the producers
of bullion, comparison of the annual out
put of different States shows that the
United States produce 33.13 per cent. of
the gold yield of the whole world, 50.59
per cent. of the silver, 40,91 per cent, Of
the total. Of the aggregate supply of the
precious metals, North America furnishes
55,78 per cent,

specimen of this plant at the Tortugas,
spite of the comparative narrowness of the
separating channel, and three other species
made up the fora. Pelicans, cranes, hum
ming birds, plovers and asfew land birds,
also species of land shell, were found on
this group, but no reptiles, whereas Key
West has many of the frogs, snakes and
toads that inhabit the mainland.

The Delaware State Sentinel gives the
following account of how the offal of tur-
keys and chickens are disposed of at the
Dover poultry packing house: "Messrs.
Richardson & Robins are putting up many
kinds of fancy goods that call for very ex-
pensive ingredients. The French truffies
used here are imported expressly for them,

Everything is utilized. The livers are put
in patters, making very delicious dish.
The gizzards are collected by Samuel Mol
lison, colored man, who skins them and
dries them for patent medicine firm in
Philadelphia, who pay him 80 cents
pound for them. Mollison uses what he
wants of the meat and sells the balance to
the colored people. The skins are used by
the patent medicine firm to make dispep-
sia medicine, which they retail at two dol
lars an ounce. The offal of the poultry,
consisting of the head, feet, entrails and
bones, are sold to Mr.. Walter Morris, who
pays $65 for every 100000 pounds Of
poultry. He gets about 30, 600 pounds of
the 900, or about 15 tons, which is
very cheap manure. He is enriching his
farm very fast. He will soon have one Of
the most productive farms in the county,
and at very little expense. He cOmposts
all except the feet, head and bones. The
feet and heads he feeds to pigs, fattening
them very rapidly. The bones are ground
up after they are seasoned and spread upon
the land. You very rarely see heavier
timothy than he raises, while his fruit
orchards are models,

When Capt. Cook first visited Tahiti the
natives were using nails of wood, bone,
shell and stone. When they saw iron nails
they fancied them to be shoots of some very
hard wood, and, desirous of securing such
valuable commodity, they planted them
in their gardens.
