A Miners Good Fortune.

On Wednesday OF last week piece of
gold weighing almost seventeen
pounds was found in the Ruby drift
mine. The piece was found by Thorn
as Morris while breasting. His atten-
ton was attracted by his shovel, as he
thought, getting caught in the bed
rock. Upon Investigation he discov-
cred the nugget The chunk was
lying near the bedrock, as is the case
with most Of the gold in primary
pliocene channels. The fnder was
naturally somewhat excited at the dis
covery of the largest piece of gold
ever found in that section. The
value of the piece is a little over
thirty-seven hundred dollars: Sever
al large pieces have been found in
this mile before, but none as large as
this.--lDownieville (Cal) Messenger.

The disposal of sewage is a question
which has been agitated in various coun-
tries for many years. Engineering says
that nowhere on the Continent has it been
dealt with in more systematic manner
than in Germany. In Berlin the drains
from the houses receive both the rain wa
ter, the dirty water from the kitchen, etc.,
and the contents of the water closets, con-
Quoting them to a system of radial sewers,
through which they, by natural fall, pro-
coed to dozen various pumping stations
within the area of the town. From these
the sewage, through the medium of COM
bined force and suction pumps, passes
through pipes of three feet or still greater
ton of Berlin possesses, and where the
sewage is used rs II fertilizer. The sewage
makes it's final exit through a system of
conduits so arranged that before reaching
them it has parted with all its manurial
power to the soil through which it is made
to pass. The sewage water thus filtered
reaches the river through the natural fall
of the conduits in a comparatively purified
state. The sewage is an exceptionally good
manure.
Frankfort on-the-Main is another Ger
man town where the sewage system is very
perfect, but owing to the excessive cost of
land in that locality the sewage is not, as
in Berlin, used rs manure in the first in
stance. The sewage is purified before be-
ing allowed to escape into the Main, and
the residue is pumped into receptacles from
where the farmers fetch it.

SKELETON OF THE MEGATHERIUM.
of the skeleton discovered at Lima in l795
which may be the one now at Berlin
the animal is chiefly known by plaster
models made from study Of detached
bones Such a model adorns the new
natural history building at Kensington
London.
The pelvis, thighs and upper bones of the
tail are cast, with some other parts from
remains found by Sir Woodbine Parish in
the bed Of a stream near Buenos Ayres
after succession of three unusually dry
seasons. They indicate skeleton still
larger than that described by Cuvier
The megatherium, the first of the extinct
ground sloths to be brought back into the
life of the present, is still regarded as the
most interesting and wonderful of the
family, although remains of at least seven
other gigantic forms have been discovered
and described. The first of these to at
tract wide attention was the almost COM
plete skeleton of an animal somewhat
smaller than the megatherium, being
only seven feet from the point of the muz-
zle to the end of the tail. This was found
by Sir Woodbine Parish near Buenos
Ayres in 1S41, and presented to the Royal
College of Surgeons, in London, where it
may still be seen as it was first set up. To
this creature was given the name mylodon,
or the mill toothed animal, robustus being
added to indicate the formidable strength
of it's framework AS with the remains of
megatherium, says the authority quoted,
SO it is with those of mylodon; detached
bones of more than one species are found
in North and South America, but a COM
plete skeleton seldom comes to light In
deed, besides that Of the Royal College of
Surgeons, there is as yet but one other,
and that has been set up recently in the
new Natural History building at South
Koneinpt0n.s

! Cotton seed oil possesses the peculiar prop
erty of taking up lead under certain condi-
TONS That quality is now being utilized,
and adds one more to the numerous uses
to which this remarkable product can be
applied. The popularity referred to, says
the Florida Dispatch, is as follows: "One
gallon of pure cotton seed oil is placed In a
suitable iron vessel into which twenty
pounds of molten lead are poured. After
thorough stirring the lead separates into
globules, and when the oil has been poured
off, after cooling, there is found to be about
seventeen pounds of the lead, the remain
der having been absorbed by the oil. On
the lead being again melted and the opera
ton repeated to the fifth pouring-the
amount of lead being less at each succeed
ing pouring-the total amount of lead abb
sorbed is about ten pounds. The oil thus
charged with the lead is then used as
paint, being applied in the ordinary way
20 metallic surfaces. 1t is claimed that this
LIQUID, which adheres closely and becomes
very hard, is especially useful in protecting
metals from oxidationor corrosion."

THE MEGATHeRIuM.

Interesting Facts Concerning the Giant
Sioths OF the Past.
When Culver classed tue megatherium
with its huge and formidable frame among
che edentales, the raturalisis of his day
were greatly surprised They could not
believe that any relation existed between
this gigantic creature and the small, in
significant sloths. Modern science has,
however, confirmed his sagacity. the mega
therium having been accepted rs substan-
italy gigantic antique soth.
In the menageries. says a writer in Popu-
lar Science News, are the little living ami
mails dragging their limbs laborously and
awkwardly along the ground, hanging
asleep from the limbs of trees, or climbing
with activity and ease among the branches
In the museum is this colossal skeleton of
their ancestor, standing as perpetual
witness to the fact that the mighty must
yield when conditions become fit only FOR
the humble and weak. The megatherium
is now desired for any museum, but happy
is that institution that can secure even a
few bones of the mighty beast. Madrid is
the happy owner of the classical specimen
studied by Cuvier; Paris boasts an almost
complete skeleton; Berlin is equally fortu-
nate. But. with these exceptions and that
