NEW GOLD FIELDS.

Difficulties Under Which the Metal Has to Be Obtained in Australia.
 For some years the Government of Western Australia has offered reward of G5, GOO for the discover of payable gold field within three hundred miles of declared port. From recent news from Perth, it would almost appear that profitable gold field has at last been discovered. We learn that Messrs. Malet and M'Ewen, who were sent by the Government to explore the Kimber- ley district, in the extreme north of the colony, have returned, after an expedi- ton which nearly proved disastrous to the explorers. They lost the'r horses; and having consumed all their provi- sions, only escaped starvation by coming unexpectedly to a settlers hut, where they obtained assistance. The party arrived barefooted, their boots having fallen to pieces on the tramp of one hundred miles. MT. M'Ewen nearly suceumbed to the hardships of the jour- ney. A quantity of the new gold has already found it's way to England. Ac- cording to advices from Derby, the port of the countrY-named after the pres ent Lord Derby, and situated at the head of Kings sound-large numbers of people, who were totally unfitted for the work, were starting for the Kim berley gold fields. As the roads are rough, and provisions scarce and dear, with an absence of water, it goes with out saying that no one need venture in search of wealth without being supplied with plenty of money and an ample supply of provisions. The country is described as closely resembling the Peak Down district ip Queens land. The gold is. much scat
 tered, but the guides are numerous. It is expected that so soon as the alluvial gold is worked out, productive reefs will be laid bare. The Kimberley district, contrary to what many have supposed, is a country about four and a half times the size of Scotland, with splendid rivers and with millions of acres of pastoral and agricultural land. The climate has been commended by Captain Grey and other explorers as one of the finest and healthiest in the tropics. Last year the population num- bered only about one hundred white men; the blacks. who are not numerous, are tractable. Sheep, cattle and horses thrive well, so that, whether or not the gold fields fulfill the expectations of those who seek their fortunes at the gold fields, there is a fine country to de- ve1ope. Derby, the capital of this dis trict, at the mouth of the Fitzroy river, consisted lately of but few huts and tents, and is the station of Govern ment resident. Should the rush" to the gold fields continue, doubtless all this will soon be changed. - Chambers Journal.

SPECIALIZED. EFFORT.
The Jack-of-One-Tool, the Man Who Ac-
 complishes Great Things.

The Jack-of-One-Tool, the Man Who Ac-
 complishes Great Things.
 The world has arrived at that stage of development where concentrated effort alone can produce any notable achieve ment. Jacks-of-all trades have lost their employment. It is the Jack-of- one-trade, and still more the Jack-of- one-tool, who accomplishes that which the world values and demands to-day. This advancement of the specialists, eX- tends to all occupations, trades, sciences, arts. It does not except any man be- cause he is an idealist or genius. It applies just as much to the man who paints on canvas as to the man who paints on iron or wood.
 Such being the case ought not word of advice to be given to those who con- template making penmanship their pro- fession? Do not attempt to do too much-that is, do not make the sphere of your endeavor too inclusive. The man who sets out with the intention of covering the whole ground, and at taining an equal excellence in every de- partment of fine writing, while he may gain degree of skill that would make him famous in the days of the begin nings, will in future be sadly eclipSed, wherever he may exercise his talent, by those who have devoted themselves to that department of the art alone. It is always wise to work in harmony with general principles and prevalent prin- ciples in this world; and the prevalent principle to-day is that of specialized effort in every form of human achieve ment.-PauI Pastnor, tR PesmGe'syowr- nal,

HOW IT IS WORKED.
The Big Diamonds Which Blaze on Hotel
 Clerks Shirt Fronts.

The Big Diamonds Which Blaze on Hotel
 Clerks Shirt Fronts.
 People get off great many very ancient jokes about the big diamonds worn by hotel cterks," remarked a salesman at the Hotel Anderson, last night, "and as a result most persons have gotten the idea into their heads that those same diamonds are nothing but chunks of paste"
 'Do you wish the great reading pub lie to infer that they are anything else?"
 ''I do just that. Most of the diamonds worn by hotel clerks are genuine. Only last week, while I was at Atlantic City, 1 saw hotel clerk from whose breast one of the largest and purest diamonds 1 ever saw glittered. But, of course, he didn't pay for it, and to tell the truth it didn't belong to him.
 1t didn't belong to him?"
 "No, my dear boy, it didn't. He was wearing it for an advertisement A great many jewelry firms advertise their goods in just that way. Almost any watering place you may go to you will see the hotel clerks blazing with dia- monds that will make your eyes bulge out. It's a good dodge for the jeweler, and it pleaSes the clerk. y
 ''But how is the jeweler benefited.'"
 "Well, it doesn't cost any thing to let a clerk wear diamond few montl1s, and during that time rich visitors are sure to inquire about the stone, ask where it was purchased, and so on. The clerk, of course, tells what house it carle from, recommends the visitor to 20 there, and often gives him card of in- troduction to the proprietor. See?"- PittS6UrQb Dispatch

CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES.
Brief Condensat ton of the Theory Usually
 Accepted by Geologists.


 Accepted by Geo1ogists.
 Major Powell, Director of the United States Geological Survey, says the ex planation of earthquakes, usually ac- cepted by geologists is something like this:
 The earth's surface is believed to be formed of solid crust of rock of varia- ble thicknesses in different regions. This crusts rests upon a material in more or less fluid condition, so that it readily yields to agencies of deformat:on like water or molten iron. The reasons for believing that the interior is in a some what fluid condition are various. The most important are:
 1. From very many observations made in mines, artesian wells, etc., it is discovered that there is an increase of temperature from the surface downward, and that this increase is so great that degree of heat sufficient to melt all known rock is reached
 ,. By certain geologic genesis certain rocks from below are brought to the surface in mountain building, and these rocks show evidence of having been greatly heated, and even of having been melted.
 3. Molten matter in very large quan- titles comes up from the interior of the earth through crevices. and volcanic vents. Besides these lines of evidence there are many accessory facts which tell the same story. The interior of the earth is constantly posing heat in variety of ways. A small amount is probably conducted to the surface and radiated into space. A large amount of through the agency of hot springs.
 Such springs are found in many DOT tions of the known earth, and in a few districts are very abundant. Through them much heat is conveyed from the interior to the surface. which is there radiated into space. The lavas that are brought up yield vast stores of heat, all of which is lost to the earth through radiation. The secular cooling wh ch results from the above causes must necessarily diminish the magnitude of the earth, and as it shrinks the solid ex- terior crust must in some manner yield so as to conform to the lesser magnitude thus produced.
 The stress produced upon the crust of the earth by the shrinking of the interior is modified by another class of agencies. The land surface of the earth is washed by rains and rivers, and in the aggre- gate large bodies of material are car r ed away and deposited in the bottoms, which are gradually filled up, and espe- cially deposited along the shores of the sea. The unloading of land areas and the overlooking of certain water areas, to large extent, localizes it. Again, the fluid or plastic material of the in- terior changes its position beneath the crust of the earth and portions of it flow out as lava, thus an additional set of stresses is established. Thus stresses are established through the agency of contracting interior through loading and unloading at the surface, and through the flow of in- terior matter to lava beds, where such matter is poured out upon the surface. The stresses produced by the various agencies thus described gradually be- come so great that at last the crust of the earth must yield, and earthquakes are produced. Toledo Blade.

A MAN | LIKE.

lire man who all mean things despises, \ man who has a purpose firm and true; Who faces every doubt as it rises, And murmurs not at what he finds to do. I like man who shows the noble spirit Displayed by knights of Arthur's table
 round: Who, face to face with life, proves his req
 merit,
 Who has a soul that dwells above the
 ground. And yet, one who can understand the worry Of some chance brother fallen in the road, And speak to him a kind word mid the
 hurry,
 Or lay an easing hand upon his load. Large hearted, brave-souled men to- day are
 needed,
 Men ready when occasions doors swing
 wide; Grand men to speak the counsel that is
 needed,
 And men in whom a nation may confide. The world is wide, and broad it's starry

 But tagging malcontents it can not hold; The way of life to him who upright marches Has ending in far of street of gold. Meredith Nicholson, in IndidndpoliS Journal.

Bismarck's Gratefulness.

Bismarck is not ungrateful. The other day, on going from Berlin to Babelsberg to see the Kaiser, he found he had lost the large lead-pencil he al: ways carries in his pocket. He asked the conductor if he could lend him pencil, but the conductor had none. An assistant, after fumbling in his pockets, found fragment of a pencil about an inch long which he handed to the Chancellor. The following day a servant of B;smark's appeared at the depot and handed the assistant an ele- gant silver pencil bearing the date Of the preceding day.-M r. Post.
