How Nature Makes silver.

The process by which nature forms
such accumulations Of silver are very
interesting. 1t must be remembered
that the earth's crust is full of
water, which percolates everywhere
through the rocks, making solu-
tions OF elements obtained from
them. These chemical solutions
take up small particles of the
precious metal which they find scat
tered here and there. Sometimes
the solutions in question are hot, the
water having got so far down as to
be set a-boiling by the internal heat
of the globe. Then they rush up
ward, picking up the bits of metal
as they GO Naturally, heat assists
the performance of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus
formed, perpetually flowing hither
and thither below ground, pass
through cracks or cavities in the
rocks, where they deposit their loads
of silver. This is kept up for a
great length of time, perhaps thou
sands OF years, until the assure or
pocket is filed up. Crannies per-
meating the stony mass in every di-
rection may become filled with the
metal, or occasionally a chamber
may be stored full OF it, as III a
myriad hands were fetching the
treasure from all sides and hiding
away future bonanza for some
lucky prospec:or to discover in

Making "a PeriIous Landing.
When the tug arrived close to the

lines were thrown on board from

Honesty that Paid.

A score or more Of cash boys en-
ployed in dry goods store organized
a strike. They wanted an increase
Of 80 cents a week in their pay and
the abatement of two or three OBJ
noxious rules relative to fines. The
determination to strike was unani-
nous, and each boy was taken into
the remotest corner of the cellar un-
der the store and made to swear
"upon honor" that he would not back
out of the movement until the OBJ
jects sought were attained. A day
or two before the day fixed for the
strike housing porter caught three
of them together in the cellar, and
his threats to report them for trying
to steal frightened them into telling
their secret. Disregarding their
pleas to keep quiet the porter went
directly to the superintendent and
exposed the plot. That night all the
cash boys were summoned before the
superintendent after the store had
been closed.
IF there is to be any striking"
said he, Il propose to strike first.
Now l want every boy who is pledged
to this movement to step forward"
Only one boy came forward, and he
was the most industrious and trust
worthy in the store. Each of the
other boys being questioned denied
any completely in the proposed strike.
The superintendent was shrewd
man. He soon ascertained all the
facts and found that the one plucky
boy proposed to stand by his strike
oath until the objects sought were
attained.
"Oh, very WE'LL" said the superin-
tendent, dryly, "as you are the only
one on strike, l will concede to you
all you ask"

A suggestion as to Darning.

An exchange says the great diff.
Guilty in mending lies in darning the
edges together in good shape, and
suggests as a good plan to buy some
net lace, such as is used for canopies
or draperies or for darning in pat
terms. II when the knees of chlldren's
garments wear thin bit Of this lace
is basted on the under side and care
fully darned down on the outside
with fine thread or yarn, the color OF
the fabric, the garment will wear al
most as long again. A piece OF fine
net darned down on the wrong side of
a table-cloth will save a large rent,
and will scarcely show. A careful
housekeeper, who believes that waste
of anything is almost, crime, uses
coarse net for darningithin places in
towels. 1t is surprising how much
longer they will wear, and how easy
the work Is. Cut the lace in square,
il possible to use it that way; lay it
smoothly on the goods, and, with a
long needle and very soft thread, fol-
low the meshes Of the lace in and
out, each mesh alternating until the
edges are sewed fast. Be careful not
to take the stitches through to the
right side, at least IL it is desirable
not to have the patch show through.
Then a few judiciously distributed
trimmings down on the right side OF
the goods, being very careful to fol-
low the grain of the fabric, and make
a short stitch on the right with a
long stitch on the wrong side.

sengers increased in remarkable num-
bers. Ostensibly the second-class

shrinkage of Hay.

There is no fixed or established
amount of water in hay, but the
quantity varies with circumstances.
Farmers, deciding according to their
Judgment, differ in the amount Of
drying to which they would subject
the drying grass. The more nearly
the grass ripens, the freer from water
it commonly becomes. In a dry, hot
summer it is usually found dryer than
in a wet season. If made quite dry
it would not lose much, if any, in
weight the next spring. Where
weighing has been frequently prac-
ticed it has been found actually to in
crease in weight as the weather be-
comes more moist in autumn after a
dry summer. The amount Of loss OF
waterywoJtld vary with the mode OF
slowing it away. If in small and
loose masses it would dry or become
heavier faster than when placed in
a large and solid stack, or If packed
away solid in q large barn. Farmers
who have weighing scales (Which ev-
cry farmer should possess) may easily
settle such questions accurately by
weighing single loads when the hay
is made, and the mass again in
autumn, or during the following win
ter or spring. AS general rule IL
may be laid down that the same
quantity of hay is lighter in April
than in the previous August; and al
though the weight is subject to vari'
Gus fluctuations, on the whole it be.
comes lighter in time, but less sc
than many farmers suppose.

or all lighthouses the most familiar
Is the noble structure which proudly
rears its head above the dangerous
Eddystone rock, on the English
coast. The earliest intlmation of
lighthouse on the EddystOne dates
back as far as 1864, when the propos-
aSWas made by Sir John Corryton and
HShry Brunker, but nothing further
transpired regarding the scheme.
The first lighthouse was built by
Henry Winstanley, who began his
difficult task in 1896 and completed
1t four years later. The structure
was of wood, and Winstanley soon
discovered that il was not strong
enough to withstand the terrible
storm WHICH roll in from the Allan
tic. Accordingly he remodeled and
strengthened it considerably, and it
being intimated to the architect that
the lighthouse would certainly be
overset, he replied that he should
only wish to be there in the greatest
storm that ever blew, in order to see
I It's effect upon the structure. His
wish was gratiffed, for a dreadful
tempest ragged in 1903. while he and
