patches In the Archaan rocks. Kaoli-
mite is abundant as an alteration pro-
duct, largely of the variety csrnat,
chiefly pink; but this does not occur in
deposits of appreciable size, so far as
known. 1t may be that some of the de-
posts of the softer red earths, which are
little more than degraded hematites will
come into service as pigments, and even
the more siliceous red sands may afford
materials of value for similar purpose.
The graphic schists of the Fernandan
system and the graphitIc shales of the
Texas system do not appear 10 afford
enough carbon for use in this manner,
but If any important deposits exist, like
one of Cat creek examined by the writer,
there Is q chance of obtaining some reve-
nue. from them. The Cat creek tritura-
ted graphite is a kind of fog deposit
locally found in old pools in the bed of
the stream where this material has been
silted in with layers of clay and sand. 1t
was shown 20 me by a gentleman who
thought he had discovered bog man
Ranese ore. The black earth is, how
ever, very similar to the "black mud'
of the Bear creek district of Arkansas,
but it has been produced in different
manner. Not far above the Llauo
county deposit the graphite schists cross
the creek, and this accumulation has
undoubtedly come from that source.
With such enormous quantities of very
pure material in Arkansas the product of
numerous hot springs which have
worked over the earth and assorted 1t
thoroughly, there is little prospect of
putting our limited and and inferior sup
ply into marketable form so as to realize
any profit.
The Wakefield syndicate at Llano is
having shaft sunk on location No. l,
east of town, and the workmen are find
ing iron ore of the richest quality and in
great abundance. AS the shaft goes
down the iron ore improves IN quality
and the lead widens. 1t is the intention
of the syndicate to sink shafts on each
of their properties in this county, pre-
liminary to commencing their develop
ment.

TEXAS MINES AND MINERALS.

Professor Dumble, in speaking in the
Austin Statesman of the Llano county
deposits of glass, pottery and paint ma
terials, says: In the white sandstones of
Castle Rock and Rock Fort, and the
great areas covered by the waste of the
same beds in Llano county. especially
along the sources of Willow creek and
Phillips creek, there is every probability
that excellent material exists for. the
manufacture of glass. No tests have yet
been made, but the sand is remarkably
pure and in enormous quantity. Pottery
clays are not abundant, probably, al
though there are places in many of the
creeks where very fine olays have been
deposited, and in parts of the Burnetan
exposures there are good occurrences of
albite. A sample of this mineral from
Clear creek, Burnet county, con-
taiDs only 1.09 per cent. iron, as
per analysis by Mr.. j. II. Hern-
don of this survey. Feldspar of
this region can readily be duplicated in
the region in marketable amounts.
Ortboclase, very pure but ferruginous,
can be mined ad libitum from dikes and

Visions of the Oetonus.

I know of no more extraordinary sight than to watch at one of the booths where tickets are sold in tho ''L" sta- tion at city hall. The hands come through to deposit their nickels and re- ceive their little slips of paper, the bar rier so arranged that the faces of the purchasers cannot be seen, and the hands alone are visible to the sellers eyes. Really, at first the effect is a most uncanny one; there seems to be a succession of strange figures belonging to monsters that are all hands, perpet- ually grabbing. It reminds one of tho effect produced on the reader ',y the gigantic hand which plays part in Bulwer Lytton's Strange Story. :" These hands of the many handed pub lie are of all sizes and shapes, with tapering or stub fingers, with manicured nails or nails eaten to the quick, with rings and without, and-it may be said of all degrees of cleanliness.

German Discipline.


 The Empress Victoria, wife of tho late Emperor Frederick of Germany, has always been careful and keen eyed disciplinarian in domestic life. She notices the slightest variation in the dress of housemaid as quickly as she used to detect a fault in her chil- dren, and punishes one as inexorably as the other. Prince Henry, the brother of the present emperor, had, when small boy, the greatest objec- tion to his daily bath, and the nursery became every morning the scene of vigorous and fearful struggle on his part against "tubbing.'
 His mother tried in vain to persuade him that baths were inevitable, and that he must submit to them; but she finally gave the nurse orders one morning to let him have his own way. Prince Henry, confident that he had gained remarkable victory, was ex- ultant, and when he set out for his morning walk took no pains to con ceal his triumph. He indulged ill sundry taunting remarks to his attend ants; but on returning home he was surprised to notice that the sentinel at the gate did not present arms as he passed.
 On reaching the palace he found second sentinel equally remiss, and knowing as we'll as any of his punctilious military race what was due to his rank, the little fel low walked up to the man and asked, severely: ''Do you know who I ama" "Yes, Hoheit,' said the sen tinel, standing motionless. ''Who am Ia'' "Prinz Heinrich" "Why don't you salute, then9" Because we do not present arms to an unwashed prince" replied the sentinel, who had received his orders from the prince's mother The little fellow said not a word, but walked on, bravely winking back the two big tears which filled his eyes. Next morning, however, he took his bath with perfect docility, and was never known to complain of it again.-San Francisco Argonaut.

An Elephants Revenge.

While driving the herd of elephants belonging to the Forepaugh show to the station in New Brunswick, N. J., John Murphy, of this city, an ele- phant keeper, was trampled upon by one of the beasts and sustained brok- en ankle and three broken ribs. In the afternoon Mir. Murphy had occa- sion to prod one of the elephants sev- eral times quite severely in getting it into the ring, and the brute remem- bered him and was revenged. Mir. Murphy was riding by it's side on horseback, when suddenly the ele- phant pulled him of the saddle with its trunk, threw him on the ground and attempted to stamp upon him. Other showmen heard Murphy's cries and came to his rescue. .-PhiladslphiA 3ncord.

The knife penetrated the bow els, and the doctor says the injury is of . serious nature and it may become danger ous. The boy was parolled In the custody of his father.

Did Not Do Miracles.

A little town near Providence boasts a Congregational church whose pastor, besides being an eloquent preacher, is a man of stalwart proportions. At one of his evening prayer meetings the serv- ices were disturbed by two young men who audibly scoffed at everything they saw or heard. Finally the pastor re- monstrated with them on their behav- for and asked them why they attended the meeting
 I've came expecting to see miracles performed" impudently replied one of the rascals. Leaving the desk and walking quietly down the aisle, the pastor seized one after the other by the collar, and as they disappeared out of the door, with the imprint of his boot in their trousers, remarked: "We don't perform miracles here, but we cast out devils. ."-Boston Globe.
