Curious Facts Concerning Gold.


 Most people believe that there is no known chemical that has any effect upon particles of gold. This is a mis- take. Lelenic acid will dissolve as readily as aqua fortis does the baser metals. mixture of nitric and hydro chloric acids taqua regia) will also dis solve it, forming chloride of gold; so will solution of chlorine gas in water. Chloride of gold is the only salt of i'm. portance obtained from the yellow metal. This chloride is used in color Ing glass, also in photography. When used by the glass-worker he finds that the hundredth part of grain will deep ly color a cubic inch of glass. By beat ing out between two pieces of mem- brane, gold may be aattened into leaves of such thinness that 2s2 1000 of them may be laid one upon the other in order to. make the pile inch high. Gold beaters have succeeded in spreading Q single ounce of gold over surface of 100 square feet. In making gold threads for embroidery it has been found that six ounces of gold can be drawn into 200 miles of wirel

Trouble Feared at slsuotOn.

BRowN's VALLEY, Minn., April 19.- There are indications of serious trouble on the Sisseton Reservation in regard to the filing of claims. A large party of men from Watertown passed through this village Last night and went on to the northwestern part of the reservation. They had filed claims at Watertown and are determined to have the lands they selected, and if the squatters on the lands do not depart there will be a fight. The authorities think the situa . tion looks serious, but they will do all that is possible to prevent a conflict. The new town has had its name changed from Sisseton to Ellington in h onor of Miss Fife Stamffer, a school teacher, who was the first woman to reach the place.

Copyright by AN. Kellogg Newspaper O.. Tne KIndness or the parents was ably seconded by the son. He was a very busy man, judged, for he idled at homo very little, but when he was at the house he seemed anxious to add to my comfort and pleasure, never losing an opportunity to favor me with such little attentions as he could with pro- priety render. Nor was he unmindful of me when away, for often he brought me some rare species of wild flower or some curious plant of the prairie which he presented in such way as to pre- clude all idea of familiarity or boorish- ness. ...
 The more knew Charles Cornell the better liked him. In my esteem he grew more noble and grand every day. He possessed the same generous nature, the same kind impulses, that character ized his father and mother, and yet he was so firm, so manly and so broad in- tellectually. I looked upon him with an admiration akin to hero worship. It seemed to me his character was so noble, his bearing so grand, that he must inevitably command the respect and even the love of those with whom he met.
 The truth is, reader, I had nearly fallen in love with Charles Cornell. I say very nearly, because I felt toward him as one does not feel toward a friend simply, yet did not feel for him all one feels for a lover. should have loved him with all the ardor of my soul had it not been for one thing. I was in love already. Will Hanley's image was in my heart. For three years I had not seen my boy friend, and was young when we parted, yet loved him then dearer than life and my love had endured through the long separation.

AN OCEAN MONSTER.
Picture of an Ugly Creature
 Caught Near San Francisco.
Some Say It Is . Fish, Others Vow That It Is Genuine Case of Serpent
 Ideas Entertained by Learned Professor.

Oakland has a something for which everybody is trying to find a name, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Some call it fish and others class it with the serpents. As it was caught in the bay the fish theorists maintain that their position is correct, but the contrary minded point to the barrel-shaped- body and the hideous head of the some thing in support of their belief that it is Q snake, and an ugly one at that. The contention was suspended for awhile and the queer thing without name was taken to the university at Berkeley, but even the learned profes- sors of that classic retreat gave up guessing at it. At all events it is the queerest looking monster ever captured in the bay of San Francisco.
 Some people claim that the Atlantic seaside hotel-keepers have permitted the one, only and original sea serpent to get away from them, and there is something about the monster that bears them out. From the tip of its ugly nose to the end of it's equally ugly tail the body is five and one-half feet long. It is round in shape and the body tapers from the head to a fine point at the tail. The captors state that it wriggled very snakishly through the water. The thing has fins just like any well-con- structed fish. The head of the monster is enough to scare delirium tremens patient into an insane asylum. It is a very large head, shaped like sealion's, with huge staring round eyes, two small ears that lie close to the head and 8 very large mouth armed with two rows of formidable. looking fangs and 8

THE MANIFEST.

forked tongue. The tongue, the cap tors aver, darted serpentwise in and out of the mouth when the thing was alive. The head has patches of black silky hair scattered over it.
 A son of William Reuter- and friend were the captors. They were fishing of the north side of Goat island when they noticed the monster wriggling in the water. The boats painter was speedily converted into lariat, and when the fsh-snake poked its hideous head above the water it was made pris- oner. The young men had hard fight with the monster, but they finally landed it in the boat and conveyed it to Oakland, where it has been on exhibi- Washington street.
 The monster weighs lsk pounds.
 Latera telegram from Oakland stated that a Berkeley professor who had been studying all day and far into the dark ness over the matter had found out what the something was and tri- unphantly pronounced it's name.
 The professors designation of the snakefish is anarrhichilthys ocellatus- at least that is the telegraph operators version or It.
 At all events 1t is a very queer fish. and it is found only in the Pacific ocean and the arms thereof.
