The truth of the germ theory of dis
ease would seem to be demonstrated
at least with regard to some diseases,
by the researches of DIR. Koch. In
cases of few diseases, notably splenic
fever, there accumulates in the blood
and tissues, but more especially in the
spleen, peculiar kind of bacteria.
Where animals are iuoculated with
fluid containing either the bacilla
themselyes or their spores, he has pro-
duced all the phenomena of splenic
fever. From this hypothesis the now
celebrated micrologist has deduced
the fact that by inoculating people
suffering with tubercular diseases with
lymph the bacteria of this particular
disease admitting such to be of bac-
terrain originate destroyed effect
ually.

all the disagreeable events OF the sum
mef would be thrust aside, and the
Dakotas and Ojibways would hunt on the
same grounds
In one OF these famous summer bat
ties the Dakotas killed a favorite rela-
tive of "Big Ojibway," war chief of the
Lac de Flambcau Oiibways. He an
nounced his determination to have re-
venge, and twenty-thr faithful warri-
ors took the trail under his command.
As they did not succeed In finding any
Dakotas In the Upper Chippewav coun-
try, they passed down that stream to
where IL cmpties into the Mississippi
There their quest was moro than salts
fed, for the western bank OF that great
river was spotted with the lodges of
their enemies, and they listened i'm am
bush, TO the wild music OF the Dakota
war dance.
Leaving scouts at the immediate junc-
ton OF the rivers, the main body of the
Ojibways returned short distance up
the Chippeway. and secreted themselves
In thick wood that came close down to
the rivers edgo
The scouts soon brought word that
900 Dakota warriors were crossing the
Mississippi to 90 up the ChIppeway.
For party OF twenty-three to attack
a band Of 200 was a desperate under
taking, even In Indian warfare. Real
izing this, ~Big 0jibway" gave any of
his followers who did not wish to Join in
so hazardous an enterprise opportunity
TO withdraw, but none OF the warriors
would leave him. when they could not be
dissuaded from the attack
The old chief planned that his braves
could pick of twenty-three OF the Dako-.
tas' leading warriors at the first voley
and then make a successful flight before
the Dakotas recovered from the surprise
OF the attack sufficiently TO reach shoro
and overtake them. The first "Big Glib,
ways" plan was successful and tho re-
treat might have been as successfully
executed as the attack II the chief had
not been so big. Unfortunately he was
quite rotund and was easily outstripped
by hts fleeing warriors and pursuing
enemies.
But he was as magnanlmous and brave
as he was portly. On seeing that escape
Tor himself was hopeless, he urged his
warriors, who had slackened their pace

nj. DE TocoUEvILLE, the celebrated
French author, pays the following
compliment to American women: Il
do not hesitate to avow that, although
the women of the United States are
confined within the narrow circle OF
domestic life and their situation is, in
some respects, one of extreme depend
ence, have nowhere seen women
occupying a loftier position, and, if
were asked to what the singular pros
perity and growing strength of that
people ought mainly to be attributed,
l should reply, 10 the superiority Of
their women"

ALL Paris is laughing over the joke
about an American inventor who is
said to have patented corset that is
to bring about the reign of morality at
once. Hone of these articles is pressed
by lovers arm it at once emits a
shrek like the whistle of railroad
engine; and the inventor claims that
he has already married three of his
daughters, owing to the publicity thus
thrust upon a backward lover. But
the wits of Paris carrying out the joke

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. PROCESS.
Something About a New Methsd of Treat
ing Gold Ores.

Something About "A New Methsd of Treat
Ing Gold Ores.
The Mining and Scientific Press, of San
Francisco, gives the following explanation
Of the working of the McArthur-Forrest
process for treating gold ores: ''The first
operation is tho drying of tho ores. Then
the ore is passed through a rock-breaker
and into bins, from which it is fed into
a Paul barrsl-pulverizer. and when pow
dered is placed in agitators and q one per
cent. solution of cyanide of potassium
added. After an agitation of twelve hours
the liquor is drawn of into fltering tubs.
These filters are of wash gravel covered
with canvas. The liquor passes through
the filter and into storage tanks.
From this the solution is drawn into a
chest of zinc filters, each filled with zinc
shayings.
1.-The liquor flows down through the first.
up through the second, down through the
third. and so on out to the end of the eight
filters. The gold is precipitated upon the
Zinc shavings in the form of a brown pow
der. When desired the chest is unlocked,
the zinc shavings washed in clear water,
which separates the gold. When it has set
tied the water Is drawn off and the gold, in
the form of q brown powder, melted into
bars. The liqror from the fltering tank is
pumped back up to the first tank and suf-
ficisnt cyanide of potassium added to bring
the solution up to the original one per cent.
As will be seen, the process is very simple,
no roasting of ores being needed, and no
high-priced chemicals required, with a very
small loss of material used. The invent
ors claim that it is possible to treat all
ores at a cost of from $3.50 to So a ton and
save from s. to 80 per cent of the gold and
silver value. The inventors claim chat
while the one per oent solution OF cyanide
of potassium will dissolve all of the gold
and silver contents of the ore by their
treatment, the other metals are not eff
fected. As numerous parties have failed
in making small working tests by this pro-
cess, it may no be amiss to state that very
often cyanide OF potassium is not more
than half to two-thirds full strength, and
it is therefore necessary to know the exact
per cent of the cyanide as we'll as to follow
the company's method of treatment"
