An Uncannv Munster.

The people residing along Palmetto
Creek, South Carolina, as well as those
for miles back in the I. slashes, are
highly excited over the appearance of n
strange and uncouth creature in that
vicinity. It is equally at home in the
water, on the land or among the tall
trees of the neighborhood, where it has
been most frequently seen.
The general contour of the head re-.
minds one of some gigantic serpent
with this exception The snout :"
terminates in a dubious, monkey faced
knot, which much resembles the physi
ognomy of some gigantic ape. From the
neck down, with the exception of some
fin-shaped hippers, which extend from
the arms to the waist, the creature re-
sembles man, only that the toes and
fingers are armed with claws from two
to six inches long, Fishermen who sur
prised the monster sitting silently on a
mass of driftwood declared that its back
looked like an alligator's, and that it had
q caudal termination yard long which
forlxed like the tail of a fish. It has
been seen q number of times sporting in
the deepest water in Hennis Lake, then
again while running at creased lightning
speed in dusty road, and finally while
swinging from tree to tree with as much
ease as the most active monkey st

After the gold ore has reached the

each pile is pulverized IL machine that

From this sample three or more paper

If the ore is very lumpy it is crushed
before sampling. This unloading into
bin is continued until the bin is full, and
itmay hold anywhere from soto 5000
tons. When filed, the superintendent
obtains a list of all ores and weights OF

list he takes to the assay Office and gets
an average assay ON the silver, gold.

piles of lead and iron ore are made, to
supply the furnaces when needed. The
superintendent makes ont list Of the
different mixtures and the weight from
each that are to constitute furnace
charge. About 500 pounds Of ore, $50
pounds Of lime, 200 pounds Of Stag and
$50 pounds Of coke 20 70 make up a

This, Of course varies in accordance
with the character Of the ore. Each

of these charges in twenty-four hours.
The lead in the mixture when treated in
the furnace ruins down into the bottom,
carrying with it the precious, metals.
The Stag. being lighter, floats on top Of
the lead and is taken off through tap

dipped Ont Of well in the side Of the
furnace and poured into moulds. After
cooling the bars are taken out and sam

convenience to sample the bars in lots Of

assayed to determine their contents. The

Deaths in JaDuary.

1t has often been noticed at the begin
ming of January the death is announced
of a number Of prominent men. The
reason is probably found in the fact not
that great men are more prone to die in
January than at any other time of the
year, but that the weather in that month
is unsettled, and consequently hard on
the constitution alike of great and hum
BILE. Great men are only human after
all, and a great man physically weak
ened by hard work or disease is just as
likely to die from Il change of weather
as though he were a day labOrer.
The mortality tables show that the
month of January and the first month
of exceedingly hot weather in the sum
mer are more fatal than any other time
of the year, and the great must take
their chances with other people.-St.
Louis GlObe-Dcmocrat.

Number of People Since Adam.

Did you ever make a calculation of
the probable number of people that have
inhabited our globe since the beginning
Of time? No doubt you will say that
such calculations involve a loss of time,
and are after all barren of results. But
let US take a few minutes time and ap-
prOXimate, with a certain degree of
accuracy, the number of souls that have
been ushered into this wicked world
since the time when it was mot good for
Adam to be alone"
AT the present time it is believed that
there are 400, 900, 900 human beings on
the globe; but let us suppose that there
has been but an average of 900, 000, 900
living at any n time since the crea-
ton. Next, to give room for any possible
doubt, we will put the average length
IF life at fifty years. ct may have been
much longer than that 5000 years ago.,
but has been much shorter for the last
900 years. With the average length
of life as above, we have had two gen.
erations of 900, 600, 600 each every cen
tury for the past 5000 years.
Taking this for granted this globe has
had &c, 1927, S43, 237, O75, 1866 human in
habitants since the beginning Of time.
To even bury this vast number the
whole landed surface of the globe, every
inch of it, would have to be dug over 12C
times'-Philadelphia Press.

A I.ogician Out of Place.

A gentleman who stood a few mo-
ments at a corner where a large build
ing was in process of erection overheard
some remarks made by an Irish work
man who evidently fancied himself a
lOgician Of no mean order.
He was a sturdy, good natured look
ing man, but evidently enjoyed leaning
on his nod and commenting on what
passed around him much better than he
did active work. The cry of "'mort-
mort usually rang out several times
before he needed it.
Pat" said the foreman severely,
coming upon the man at n of the
moments when he was ''restin a Bit"
"why don't you attend to your work
and keep that man going?"
''Shure, now" said Pat, shifting his
feet and turning a broad smile upon the
foreman, IF | was to kape him goin he
wouldn't have sorra a thing to say at
all; an if he didn't say anything, how
would | know he was there? An if he
wasn't there fwhat would he be wafftin
of mOrther, SOFT"
And Pat marched off with his hOd,
leaving the foreman not convinced, but
certainly confused by this remarkable
exhibition Of the workings Of a logical
mind.-Touth's Companion.

How a Chameleon Looks.

Upon a crimson cloth the chameleon
becomes almost crimson; move it upon
q gray surface and the bright tints will
quickly subside. But at night, whether
disturbed or not, it invariably assumes
its palest tints. Two which | caught in
the Cape Town garden, which were of a
very brilliant metallic green, were splen-
idly decorated. On the back or sides,
sometimes saddlewise and sometimes
lengthwise, were slashes of red. The
markings vary in the individuals. The
crest and decorations on the head and
back are like fretwork, the whole body
and limbs are dotted with very fine
