AN ASSAY.

This simple method of ascertain
ing the amount of gold contained
in quartz is from the San Fran
cisco Mining Review: First weigh
the quartz dry. Then weigh in
water, suspending the quartz by a
thread. Next divide the dry
weight by the difference between
wet and dry (adding decimals if
necessarily Subtract from this
result the weight of quartz usually
260 or 261 for free gold, but 265
to 270 if filed with sulphurets. J
Multiply this result by the weight
of gold, viz: 12S. Then multiply
this amount by result of subtrac
ton of wet from dry. The result
will be, after pointing off all deci
mails that have been adde1, the
exact weight in gold.

WHY THE LEAVES TURN.

"Probably not one person in a
thousand knows why leaves change
their color in the fall" remarked
an eminent botanist the other day.
1.-The common and old-fashioned
idea is that all this red and golden
glory we see now is caused by
frosts. A true and scientific ex
planation of the causes of the color
ing of leaves would necessitate
long and intricate discussion.
Stated briefly and in proper
language, those causes are these:
The green matter in the tissue of
the leaf is composed of two colors.
red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the fall and the
natural growth of the tree ceases
oxidation of the tissue takes place.
Under certain conditions the green
of the leaf changes to red, under
different conditions it taxes On a
yollow or brown tint. The differ
ence in color is due to the differ
ence in combination of the original
constituents of the green tissues
and the varying conditions of eli
mate, exposure and soil. A dry,
cold climate produces more bril-
liant foliage than one that is damp
and warm. This is the reason that
our American autumns are so
much more gorgeous than those Of
England. There are several things
about leaves that even science can
not explain. For instance, why
one of two trees growing side by
side, OF the same age and having
the same exposure, should take on
brilliant red in the fall and the
other should turn yellow; or why
one branch of a tree should be
highly colored and the rest of the
tree have only yellow tint: are
questions that are as impossible to
answer as why one member of a
family should be perfectly healthy
and another sickly. Naples and
oaks have the brightest colors.-

Jonah the Second.

S. w. Kiesler, late commanders
clerk. United States navy, now a
resident of Honesdale, Pa, told
the following story TO Philadel-
phia Press reporter of a very re
markab!e experience of an Ameri-
can sailor with a whale. HIS says:
Geo. Leonard, an acting master in
the United States navy during the
civil war, and stationed ON board
the boat Kathdin, West Gulf
blockading squadron, in 1853, told
a story of heroism, and exhibited
marks on his body that corrobor-
ated his words. The year 1850
found Leonard as one of the crew
on the ship Enterprise, a whaler
in the north Pacific
One day he was stationed in the
bow of a whaleboat long distance
from the ship, with a brave crew
who had sighted a whale and made
for the monster with all possible
dispatch. When within proper
distance Leonard threw his har-
puon, striking the fish hard and
deep. In some manner. the line
as it was running out caught the
body of one of the men in such a
way'as to throw him overheard.
The man suddenly sank, where
upon Leonard transferred his line
to a boatman and sprang into tie
ocean in AID of the drowning
sailor.
The whale, now maddened by
his fast flowing blood, made rush
for the boat. Remarkable and
horrible to relate, Leonard's friend
had managed to regain the boat
while he himself was caught by
the whale between the jaws, his
position being inside the monsters

ner the man was in reality within
the jaws of death itself. The
whale instantly plunged down into
the deep, and, in the words of
Leonard himself, 1.-The fish seemed
to be going down, down into
eternity itself"
The imprisoned man, after all
this. had not lost his presence of
mind. He mustered his entire
bodily strength-and he was a
powerful man-actually bracing
himself in such a position as to
compel the fish TO spread his jaws.
At the same time, with his arm
that was free, he grabbed the
sheath knife out of its socket, cut
ting right and left. No sooner
was there a sufficient opening
made than Leonard forced his body
outside.
Up to the surface he swan,
when, most strange to say, he
found himself within an arms
length of the boat. He was saved.
The marks of the whales violence
and the dents of its teeth were
very plainly visible on Leonard's
arms, and he was always pointed
ont by his BROTHER naval officers as

obligations. But both he and the President
have correctly assumed that the. oipiomano
correspondence and every formal agreement
and understanding between the Governments
show conclusively that all three afe unuef
obligations to respect the neutrality ana inue-
pendence of Samoa.
A few illustrations will suffice TO prove TINS
statement. When the German flag was ralsed
at Apia on January 20, 1885, the act was
nromptly disayowed. and Minister Mason was
informed by Count Herbert Bismarck that there
was No intention of violating the understand
ing with the United States and England ana
that Germany "neither intended to take pos
session nor to establish a protectorate there'
Init wonId adhere to the status quo" When
similar action in 1885 by the unioeo oVaOes
Consul Mr.. Greenebaum, was also declared
irresponsible, Mr. Bayard invited the two GOV
ernments to conference on the OASIS Oh dn
autonomous native administration ana exemP-
ton from foreign supremacy. These proposals
were accepted, Commissioners were dlspatched
10 Samoa, and the conference was neld ana
these proceedings were grounded upon inc
neutrality and Independence OF samoa Oh
every occasion prior to the assembling ol ons
conference the German Foreign once repeated
its assurances that the existing status would
not be disturbed. 1t was in response to these
numerous pledges that Consul-General Sewali'
acting under instructions from the State De-
partment, deferred King Malietoa from sup
pressing Tamasese's rebellion and defeanng
German intriguers. Even when these prom
ises had been violated in the usurpations OF
September, 1887, when puppet-nng was en-.
throned, the idle chatter about neutrality ana
autonomy ran on at Berlin.
The opportunity for action came when
Malietoa was deposed in wsnton disregard OF
the pledges made before the conference was
held. His imprisonment and the election Of
his successor as a German candidate supported
by the guns of the fleet belied all the assur-
ances of respect for the neutrality and inde-
pendence of Samoa which had been freely ex-
changed by the Powers. A naval demonstra-
ton at that moment would have emphasized
the demand for restoration of the status
which Germany had repeatedly guaranteed.
The opportunity was wasted, and one act OF
aggression followed another. 1t will not be
an easy matter to repair the mischief wrought
by Mr.. Bayard's lethargy and incapacity

The report of Mr.. Valentine, vice-president
and general manager of Wells, Fargo &c Co.,
regarding the production Of precious metals in
1888, is issued with the usual promptness. The
aggregate, including certain amounts from
British Columbia and the west coast of Mexico,
was $114, BAL, 599, against $1O4, 645, $50 in
the previous year. but after deducting the
movement across the British and Mexican Dor
ders, the net production Of the United States
west of the Mississippi River is reported as
S112, sos, $50, against 81 O8,827,77o in 1887 T.
The increase Of more than SS5, 900, 600 during
the last nine years has been mainly in copper
and lead, the increase Of 81 100000 in silver
being in part balanced by some decrease in
gold. Mr.. Valentines figures for the last nine
