mineral Products. Of Tho United State.

ANAN'@eR aAA'aAtHI
The second report OF 'The Mineral
Resources Of the United States" by
Albert Williams, chief of the division
of mining statistic and technology,
United states geological survey, will be
issued shortly. From advance sheets,
ii appears that the report Is a most
valuable addition to the statistical in
formation which the government
issues from time to time. The metallic
mineral products are ten in number.
and their value during the year 1854
was $3.50, 097, 500. Iron heads tho list,
$7s, 761, 024: silver follows next, S4s,
500, 900; gold is third, $50, 500, 600; cop
per next, Si7, 7sg, 6s7; and lead follows,
$40, 537 ,042. The value OF tho others is
comparatively small The non-metal-
lie mineral products are twenty nine in
number and were valued at $500, OO7,.
021 in 1884. OF this amount the value
Of coal constitutes SLAB, $780, 900; petrol
cum, faO.476, 2p4; building stone, $40,
0OO, 900; lime, SIS, 500, 600; and salt,
-, 1917, 73i.
To this list is added about fifty minor
minerals, the valued of which is estimated
at 81 600, 000-making tho total value
Of mineral products for 1884 Si13, 1Ot,-
$50. During the year 1888 the value Of
the mineral products of the country was
fi32, 204. 62s, and in 1882, $455, PIG, $50.
The falling of in 1854, compared with
those years, is due more to a decline in
price than TO the falling of in quantity.
These figures show the Importance Of
the mineral industries of the country.

As Don as the oil is received at the
warehouse, it is placed temporarily in
tanks and earthenware jars to settle.
New oil from the country is always
thick, and in winter time generally con
gealed; after having been allowed to re-
main undisturbed for six or eight days
it is, it still CONCEALED, slightly heated
before being placed in the filters, in q
large tin-lincd pan, with a double bot
tom or Jacket, through which steam is
made 10 circulate. Thus the oil does
not com into contact with fire, but is
generally warmed by steam until it is
quite fluid. Tho oil filter is a rectangu-
lar wooden tank, lined inside with tin,
and it is divided into two compartments,
an upper and a lower one.
The oil is pumped into the upper com
partment, and is allowed 10 filter
through perfectly clean carded cotton
brought here from Malta, and preferred
TO any other on account of its purity
into the second or lower compartment,
when it has again TO pass through
another layer of cotton, and finally
comes out into n tank placed beneath
the filter, from which, if perfectly
bright, it is pumped into large marble
lined tanks, holding about fifty IONS Of
oil each. II the oil is not perfectly
bright it is passed through the filters
again and again until it becomes so.
As n rule, however, oil, particularly IL
of the finest quality, becomes perfectly
bright after n iltering In the large
tanks the oil is allowed to remain ua-
disturbed until required for expectation,
whether for Great Britain or the United
States of America.

Until recently | have not been able to
secure much sleep on tho first night OF a
railway journey, and 1t may be an ad
vantage TO many travellers to know how
the inability was overcome. An excess
of blood in the brain prevents sleep.
How to remove the surplus is the
problem for the unfortunates who wish
10 sleep but can not. A pump
Is needed for the purpose, and
it may easily DO provided as
follows Having assumed the usual
position of repose, inhale and exhale
slowly and steadil long breaths, devot-
ing the whole attention TO making the
inhalation and exhalation of exactly the
same length. The length should DO
much greater than that OF ordinary
breathing, although not sufficient to
disturb tho circulation by working the
lungs to their utmost capacity. Any
person who has force of will enough to
concentrate his whole attention on the
maintenance Of this style OF breathing,
can compel sleep in very unfayorable
circumstances, and victims of insomnia
should know il.
The value Of the method is not solely
IN It's holding the mind to ono object Of
lhouBht Out the process oil breathing
here described is really equivalent TO
the insertion Of a pump in tho brain to
draw of its excess OF blood. To con-
vince yourself that this is so, fill your
lungs with all the air thoy will hold,
and then expel it, repeating the opera
ton three or four times as rapidly rs
possibla. The result will DO a feeling
Of faintness, unless you are other than
mn ordinary mortal, and its cause will
be a deficiency Of blood in the brain,
produced by the pumping process. Such
violent breathing will not induce sleep,
however, as there is a reaction which
sends the life current rushing back to
the seat of the mind.
Scientists say that the reason why
fear, surprise or any other sudden emo
ton often causes faintness is because il
rapidly drives the blood from the brain,
and the fact is significant for those who
wish to understand how 10 induce sleep,
whether on the railway train or in their
beds a. home, by pumping the excess Of
blood from their brains by a peculiar
method of breathing.

The journal of Inebriety thinks that
the cumulative action of alcohol on the
brain centers exists to a greater extent
than is generally supposed. Many men
who drink regularly through the day
and seem no worse for II, become intox
icated late at night, although they have
not used spirits during the evening. 1T
appears, y says the editor, that alcohol,
like bromide, may remain In the system
10 some extent without producing any
marked action, and then suddenly, from
some unknown cause, burst into great
activity, producing profound ~intoxica-
ton. Tho reasons for this do not seem
to be- definitely understood, though they
are thought to be OF a combined physio
logical and psychological nature, and
partly due to climatic conditions.

There are but a few important events in

Although frequently urged by friends

soon after by universal depression Of all
securities, which seemed to threaten the
extinction of a good part of the income

the sincere desire to avoid doing injustice
to any one, whether on the National or
Confederate side, other than the unavoida-
bic injustice of not making mention often
where special mention is due. There
must be many errors of omission in this
work, because the subject is too large o

way as to do Justice to all the officers and
men engaged. There were thousands of
instances during the rebellion of individ

deeds OF heroism which deserve special
mention and are not here alluded to. The
troops engaged in them will have to look
to the detailed reports of their individual
commanders for the full history of those
deeds.
