Gold Washing in California.

What an earth soaring, devastating pro-
cess that whole system of gold washing
has been to portion of California; 1t has
torn down hills and mountains, filed up
lovely valleys and ravines with rock and
mud and left only bare rock and piles of
powders where were before shaded and
fertile little plains. This has taken place
over hundreds Of miles of territory. But
nature repairs such ravages very quickly,
especially in California, where vegetation,
wild or cultivated, grows after rapid
transit fashion. There it soon binds up
these earth scars with wild vines and
bushes. 1 have seen saplings growing
through the roofs and barring the doors
of the cabin In a camp which had not been
deserted more than ten years.
SO far as outward indications" went,
no set or perfect rule will work in finding
gold. AS to place or manner of deposit,
the diggings in one locality would be a
contradiction to those in another. The
heaviest gold was generally found deepest.
But sometimes the heaviest gold was
found on the top in the very grass roots.
Old miners finally dropped on an adage
that developed itself like many other
things out of the life and luck of the Dig
gings. That adage was: "Gold is gener-
ally where you find it," This worked.
There is no getting outside Of it. The
Mexicans say: ''It takes a mine to work
a mine" would recommend these two
texts to all who are disposed to embark in
mining ventures. Mulford in

Poison of Exnired Air.

Recently two distinguished French
physicians, Brown-Sequard and D'Arson-
val, have been experimenting, and have
obtained results which are thought to
prove that expired air contains another
poison, additional to those of carbonic acid
and ammonia, to which mainly the danger.
GUS nature of expired air must be re-.
ferred. The exact nature of this poison
has not yet been ascertained, but the ex-
periments cannot be due either to carbonic
acid or to ammonia
By passing expired air, whether of
human beings or of animals, through
water, solution was obtained which, in
jected into the veins Of animals, invari-
ably gave rise to the same symptoms-a
slower breath, a rapid lowering of the
temperature, a considerable paralytic
weakness, especially of the hinder limbs,
and, after three or four days, a morbid
activity of the heart.
Larger injections induced excessive con-
traction of the pupils, increased paralysis,
and diarrh9a, something like that of
cholera. The eminent surgeons who con-
Quoted these experiments are disposed to
regard pulmonary consumption as largely
due to this poison. If future experiments
should establish this view, it must greatly
emphasize the suprelso Importance Of
thorough ventilation in our homes and
churches and all places for public gather.

Losses of the Civil War.

The extent of these losses will be bet
ter understood if compared with some of
the extraordinary cases cited in the his
tories of other wars. Take, for instance,
the charge of the Light Brigade at Balak-
iava-the charge of ths Six Hundred.
Lord Cardigan took 613 officers and men
INTO that action they lost 113 killed and
ia wounded; total. PAT. or 36.7 per cent.
The heaviest loss in the late Franco
frussian war occurred at Mars la Tour,
IN the Sixteenth German infantry Third
Mestphalian), which lost 40 per cent. But
the One Hundred and Forty first Penn
sylvania lost 16 per cent at Gettysburg,
while regimental losses of 60 per cent.
We're frequent occurrences in both Union
ana confederate armies. In the war for
'ne Union there were scores of regiments,
unknown or forgotten in history, whose
percentage OF killed and wounded in cer-
tam actions would far exceed that of the
much much praised Light Brigade; and nobody
numbered u either.-Col. w. F. Fox in The

Carpenters find vast difference in the
pine woods they handle-a difference
which is generally accounted for by the
fact that the woods come from different
forests. For instance, the virgin pine
from Michigan is tough and will break,
splintering for three or four inches, while
the second growth wood from Massachu.
setts is more brittle and less fbrous. This
fact recently gained q suit for New
Haven contractor whose employer refused
to pay him, claiming that while part OF
the work was well done some of it had
been sighted. 1t was shown that the car.
penters had been given two varieties OF
pine. one smooth and workable"
.-and the other brittle and splintering.-

Chinese history is compiled by per-
manent commission of accomplished
literary men, who are always at work
upon it. In 1877 an imperial edict stated
that history ought not to be written for
the emperor's use only, and remain shut
up in golden caskets and marble cham
bers; it ought to be made accessible to all
officials, that they may know the mind of
the emperors and the laws Of the land
From the Chinese standpoint, history is
divided into two parts-one an exact mar
rative of events, the other a record of
what the emperor has said and done.
This division originates two sets of pub
lications; one in which the officers speak,
the other in which the emperor is the
spokesman. In the first, the industry Of
the bureau of history is run in the collec-
tion of facts, but there is always a dan
ger that the recorder may be under g
strong court influence. Historical can
dor can scarcely find place in reference
to nations or persons who have been in
conflict with the court. With this. ex-
ception, the array of facts thus recorded
is most valuable.
The edicts published in the second series
express the mind of the emperor. He
is always man who has the advantage

able and he happens to be fond Of writing
his edicts himself, they will all be trans
mitted to future times in full. The
scribes, who stand writing when he
speaks, translate his spoken words into
official phrases, and his opinions andsde-
cisions will then pass into official history,
written partly by himself and partly by
the scribes of the cabinet. Besides these
there are various series of historical
works-the first having been prepared il
the Eleventh century-to popularize the
subject and place the chief facts Of the
Chinese annals within the reach of com-
mon readers, who have not the oppor-
tunity to study them in full. The last Of
these has just been published. 1t deals
with the reign Of Kienlung, from 1876 to
to 1895, and is in sixty volumes Every
important public matter is recorded under
the day on which it occurred. The en-
peror has, as usual, the lions share of the
talking, and there is room for him to say
a good deal in 12O chapters. - North

The Cat and the Dog.

The mastery of herself which cat
shows when, having been caught in po-
sltlon from which there is no escape, she
calmly sits down to face out the threats
OF dog, is marvellous thing Every
body has seen kitten on a street door
step attacked by dog ten times her size,
as apparently self possessed as if she were
In her mistress lap. II she turns tail and
runs down the street she is lost; the dog
will have sure advantage of her. Even
as it is, if he could get up courage enough
to seize her on the spot he would be able
to make short work of her. 1t is q case
OF life and death; but the whole air and
attitude of the cat is one of pure and con-
fident bravado. "You dare not touch me.
and you know it," is what her position
tells the dog.
But she is intensely on her guard, in
spite of her air of perfect content. Her
legs, concealed under her fur, are ready
for spring; her claws are unsheathed:
her eyes never move for an instant from
the dog; as he bounds wildly from side to
side, barking with comical fury, those
glittering eyes Of hers follow him with
the keenest scrutiny. If he plucks up his
courage to grab her, she is ready; she will
sell her life dearly. She is watching her
chance, and she does not miss it. The dog
tries Fabian tactics, and withdraws q few
feet, settling down upon hi forcpaws,
growing ferociously as he does so. Just
then the sound of dogs bark in the next
street attracts his eyes and ears for a
moment; and when he looks back the kit
ten is gone! He looks down the street
and starts wildly in that direction, and
reaches high board fence just as a cats
tail-a monstrous tail for such little
CATS vanishing over the top of it. He
Is beaten; the cat showed not only. more
courage than he had, but a great deal

To understand the importance of this
marriage it is necessary to note two
things: Many Of the royal and princely
rulers Of Europe are really of different
stock from the people they rule; and
through the union of British, German,
Danish and Russian blood, the offspring
of this marriage will concentrate the
blood of the rulers of the great powers,
and, to some extent, the good will of
their people, in the future sovereign of
Greece. 1t will be remembered that the
first monarchy set up in Greece, after the
Turks were driven out. was failure; and
that the great Christian powers combined
to make George Of Denmark king as
George l Of Greece. He is of the old and
noble house of Schleswig- -Holstein- Sender
burg -Glucksburg, was born Dec. "a, 1645,
and married Olga, daughter of the Grand
Duke Constantine of Russia, who was
born Sept 8, 1857
Constantine, their first child, was born
Aug. 2, 1868, and is, Of course, to be king
of Greece if he survives his father. His
bride, Sophie, is the daughter Of the late
Emperor Frederick of Germany, and was
born June IA, 1870. So she was but q
few days past 18, as her husband was
barely 81, when they were married. Prince
Constantine's other title is Duke of
Sparta, just as that of the crown prince
Of England is Prince of Wales Should
Constantine and Sophie be so fortunate as
to have son, the boy will be great grand
son of Queen Victoria and Emperor Will
lam and the former czar of Russia, and
closely related to the royal families Of
Denmark and other monarchies, as well
as first or second cousin to half the minor
German rulers. But he will not still be
Greek-that is, he will have no Hellenic
blood in his veins.
The little kingdom over which he will
rule now has barely $500, 900 inhabitants,
of whom nearly half are Albanians
and quite half pure Greeks or Hellenes;
but in all the adjoining countries are
Greeks to the number of 5000, 900, and
just now there is spontaneous and en-
thusiastic movement among them for a
an-Hellenic union. An unusually large
of them are very wealthy mer-
chants in Constantinople, Trieste, Smyrna,
and within a few years these
have contributed nearly $1,OOO,OOO to
found schools, colleges, gymnasia and
lectureships in Greece, so there are now
in that kingdom thirty-fve important
institutions of learning; and it is esti-
mated that in twenty years the Greeks
will be among the best educated people in |
Europe. The next generation may see |
the condition of 400 B. c., when |
sporadic Hellas looked to continental |
dellas as home, and the Greeks of all the
world united at the Olympic games.

Most editors dislike pencil copy. 1t is
hard to read and bothers desk editor and
compositors alike. News paper paper
like that on which newspapers are printed
should never be used for anything but
newspaper copy. If it is used. the sheets
should never be larger than commercial
note size.
Editors may not complain of pencil
copy, but they prefer pen and ink copy
every time. OF course, if writer has q
regular and assured position, he may con-
suit only his own convenience and disre-
gard the wishes of those who handle his
copy; but if he is sending his matter to
an uncertain market the neater and hand
somer he makes it, the more likely it is to
sell.-"W. II. H." in The Writer.

Can't Get Back Acain.

By the way, have you ever noticed that
1t costs great deal more to go back to
Europe than it cost originally to come
from there? Look at the number of peo-
pie who on very small wages have saved
up enough to leave Germany and Ireland
and other places and come to America,
and can't on very large wages save enough
to go back. 1t is funny when you come
to think about it that man who came to
California years ago at cost of about $75,
tells you today he can't afford to take q
trip to the old country because it would
cost him too much money. America seems
to change people good deal San Fran

Sprightly, musical and clear,

Through the tufted yellow grass,
On the lonely reach q range
Solitary, scar and strange,
Killdeer's air rings blithely there
And cheers the lonely range.

Some Alloys of Gold.

A new alloy of gold and platinum, upon
which Mr.. w. G. Roberts Austen has
been engaged for some time, takes fire on
being thrown into water, and the gold is
released as black powder, differing from
ordinary gold in its property of readily
forming auric hydride. This abnormal
form of gold, which becomes normal me-
tallic gold on heating, is said to have been
long utilized by the Japanese. They OBJ
tain it from its alloy with copper, with
which they form ornamental metallic de-.
signs upon knife handles, ETC., and then
release the dark colored gold by pick
ling process. In this way, they have pro-
duced an appearance Of Transparency in q

place where in the design duck was re.
presented plunging half its body below
