FAMINE IN GOLD.
Statistical Miner Gives Some Very Inter

A Statistical Miner Gives Some Very Inter
esting Figures.
Probably nine-tenths of all the
gold obtained by man has been taken
rom placer deposits, and our Ameri-
can experience has been no exception
TO the general rule" remarked an ex-
perienced mining operator in speaking
of the past and future of this valuable
product the other evening. Previous
20 1917 our total gold production
amounted to S12. 900. 600. but between
1917 and 1887 about 81, $50. 600, 900
were contributed to our stock of gold.
OF this. nearly three-fourths came from
placer deposits. In 1s50-56 we obtained
more than $50. .000. 900 per annuui in
gold from the placers of California.
and almost nothing from gold-bearing
veins. Now, with an annual prodGe-
ton of $50. 900, 600 about one-half is
from placers. Our own territory has
been so thoroughly explored that no
considerable superficial deposits of
gold are likely to be discovered. and
nearly the same thing can be said of
the entire world.
''In the northern extension of our
western mountain ranges in British
Columbia and Alaska there are prob
ably important deposits of gold. II Is
likely. however, to come from this re-
gion in a moderate but perennial
stream. and not in flood. Great
difficulty will attend the working of
those mines on account of the
cold. long winters and the difficulty
in transporting supplies Unless the
mines should prove richer than ex-
pected there may be n dearth of gold
in the near future In the Allegheny
belt of mountains. in this country.
there are large deposits of gold. but
they are difficult to work. Still in

peeted to turn out $1,000. 900 a year.

that-as the complimental color assists
the eye TO see the original color more
easily, it assists il TO see more of it;
that is, TO see it more intensely. A
red disk surrounded by green rim
appears stronger than when the rim is
away. A red-headed girl is always
more striking in greenish-blue dress.
Yet she is always wearing one; and
the earrot-headed boy is always at his
happiest when he has under his chin a
blue, or green. tie of vast dimensions
The two, intuitively, select the colors
that relieve their own eyes. though
they thereby make their peculiarities
more conspicuous. There is no law OF
aesthetics of more extended or of easier
application. Practice first with strong
colors Of the grei te i attainable purity.
Soon the eye will be able to apply the
law TO the most delicate tints and the
most varied hues. The secret of the
success of Worth, the great Paris
dressmaker, is his skill in using many
colors and still keeping well within
this simple law. The law is as vaIu-
able in the manufacture and decoration
of the humblest garment or utensil. as
il is in the production of the grandest

cHEvREuL's SYSTEM.
Three Fundamental Cclors 20 which 4

Three Fundamental CcIors 20 which All
Others May BE Reduced.
Chevreul, the eminent French chem
ist, whose hundredth birthday was 60
gloriously celebrated two years ago, if
not the first to discover, was the first
to make plain to all the world. the
system of eontrasted colors which, i'm
France, at least, bears his name, How
true it is that to give an idea universal
circulation it must be spread by a
Frenc hmanl According TO Cheyreuls
system there are in nature three funda-
mental colors to which all others may
be reduced; red, blue and yellow. If
these three were to be had in absolute
purity, and were to be mixed together
in exact intensity and proportions,
they would neutralizc one another.
and no color, or pure white. would re-
suit. If the three be put in imagina-
ton at equal distances about Il circle.
then directly opposite the point occu-
pied by any one of the three will be
the point on the circle where the mix
of the other two will constitute its di-
| rect opposite; or, as it is called, its
compliment. For instance, take red;
its compliment is blue and yellow
mixed, that is green. The compliment
of blue is red and yellow mixed, that is
orange. OF yellow, red and blue mixed,
that is purple. In other words pure
red mixed with pure green will give
white; so viii pure blue mixed with
pure orange and pure yellow mixed
with pure purple. And so on all
around the circle with the intermediate
hues. every hue finding its compli-
ment at the other end of its diameter.
Throughout this paper avoid the
technical and use everyday terms and
adjectives.
Now the inner eye apparently always
desires white light; SO that the outer
eye is constantly manufacturing the
compliment of the color of the object
at which it is looking so as to transfer
white image to the inner eye. For
instance, let the eye rest on red
object. After while turn the eye to q
white surface. In second or two the
object will appear on the surface, but
green; showing that the eye has been
manufacturing the complimentary
color of the object. and in manner Il
cover it exactly. Of course this is onl.
one of the various ways of putting
well-known phenomenon. The fac
remains, put it any way you please
that to make the eye comfortable ant
to relieve it of extra work, wheneve
you present it to strong color, presen
along with it some of the compliment

Some Valuable Suggestions That Are
Well Worth Trying.

Some Valuable Suggestions That Are
Well Worth Trying.
What should q man use to clean
his teethP" asked reporter of WELL
known dentist recently.
Nothing but water. There are
more good teeth ruined by so-calIed
dentifrices than by all other causes in
the world put together. The object OF
the makers of these dentifrices il. OF
course, TO produce a preparation that
will. with very little rubbing of ihe
brush. make the teeth lock perfectly
clean and white. To accomplish this
they put pumice stone. and sometimes
strong alkalies, IN their preparations
Pumice stone will unquestionably take
all the enamel with it An alkah will
make yellow tooth look white in q
few seconds. Lus before q week has
passed it will have eaten away nearly
all the enamel and utterly destroyed
the tooth.
In walking along the street you
often see fakir. by way Of adver-
tising his patent dentffrfces, call
small boy from the crowd near By. and
opening the bows mouth, rub the
dentifriee on his dirty teeth. and in
minute almost takes off all the tartar
and makes the teeth look perfectly
pure and white. Now, man like that
fakir ought to be arrested. for he has
forever destroyed the boys teeth. His
preparation, composed of a powerful
alkali. is eating away the enamel OF
the boys teeth, and in q few months
the boy will not have a sound tooth in
his head. The dentifrices, composed
chiefly of pumice stone. are not as bad
as those containing an aIkaIi. because
they viii not destroy the teeth so
quickly; but, ii used habitua1ly, they
viii certainly destroy them in the end
/ should advise any man by all means
to use no dentifrice of any %descrip-
tion, unless it be prepared chalk II
this is used not oftener than onee
week 1t viii not injure the teeth,
and may help to cleanse them.
but it should on no account be used
every day. OrrIs root does the teeth
no harm and gives a pleasant odor te
the breath. and if all our dentifrices
were composed simply of orris root
and prepared chalk they would be
harmless enough. if not beneficial
MY own plan Is to use moderate
" hard brush and plenty Of cold
water. and nothing else. and my teeth
are in excellent condition. II people
would only pick their teeth carefully
after each meal. making sure that not
the slightest particle of food remains
near the gums or between the teeth,
and would. also. before retiring al
night. run a piece of soft thread
through their teeth. they would not
have any necessity for dentifrice-
| Of course, sweetmeats and candies
are bad for the teeth; so Is smoking.
or taking very hot or cold drinks; but
| bad as all these undoubtedly are.
I really think the worst enemy the tooth
| has is the so-called dentifrice. Take
| the advice of dentist and never use
any thing for your teeth but brHsh
and good cold water. ~ Y Aail
