Does Gold Crow

Years ago | wrote and published in
London magazine an article in which l
undertook to prove that gold grows
grows the same as grain or potatoes, or
anything else. reckon l did my work
crudcly, not knowing anything about
chemistry or even the ordinary terms Of
expression about such matters, and SO my
earnest and entirely correct sketch was
torn all to pieces and laughed to scorn.
Well, l have at last found positive
proof Of my general statement right here
in these mountains by the Pacific sea.
Briefly and simply, Ihave found piece
of peteritied wood with little vein or
thread of gold in it. How did that gold
get into this piece of wood? Was it
placed there by the finger Of God on the
morning Of creation, as men have claimed
was the case with the gold found in the
veins of the mountains? Nonsense!
Gold grows Certain conditions of
the air, or certain combinations of earth
and air and water, and whatever chemi-
Gals may be required, and then rock, q
piece of quartz, or pctritied tree, for the
gold to grow in, and there is your gold
crop! OF course, gold grows slowly.
Centuries upon centuries, it may be, are
required to make the least sign of
growth. But it grows just as asserted
years ago; and here at last | hold in my
hand such testimony as no man in this
world will be rash enough to question ga
portionSof a petrlticl tree with thread
Of gold in it.-J0aQ,tia Miller.

Making BaSebalis.

The interesting fact was learned by a
New York Mail and Express reporter
that the hides of about 1000 horses and
the skins of at least ten times US many
sheep are cut up into coverings for base
balls in this city every season. BY one
manufacturer alone three tons or yarn
are used a year for the inside, of base
balls. The hide and skin used is per-
fectly white, being alum tanned, and
comes from Philadelphia. Out of one
horses hide the coverings for twelve
dozen balls are cut, and out OF one sheep
skin three dozen Two strips of the
leather are required for each ball, cut
wide and rounding at each end so that
they fit into each other when put around
the yarn ball Each piece, for League
ball, is seven inches long, by two inches
wide at the rounded ends. The pieces
are cut with a die. Old fashioned blue
Shaker yarn is used for the inside of q
League ball, which is wound tightly
around small rubber ball, weighing
exactly one ounce. The improved
League ball has now double coverings of
horsehide, which is regarded as a great
improvement. 1t is also stitched with
gut. The balls are made entirely by
hand and 1t requires no little skill to
shape them perfectly round. This is
done by placing them in an iron cup
about the size Of the ball and striking it
with mallet at different stages of the
winding. Men do this work; they east
ly make ten dozen League balls in day
and from forty to fifty dozen ordinary
basebals in the same length Of time.
Their wages are So so a day Women sew
the coverings together on the ball; this
requires considerable skill and strong
finger muscle; they can sew from two
