THE CRfoLIrE IN GREENLAND.
The cryolite is dug out of the ground in
Greenland and there is about enough of it OBJ.
tainable to last for fifty years. but not more.
However, when that is gone or before. resort
can be had to enormous deposits of substances
called "bauxite," found in Arkansas. 1t is a
compound of oxide of aluminium. lust aa crvo-
lite is, and looks like white clay, spread out
for miles in fiat layers. Aluminium is already
much utilized, chiefly on account Of its Iipht-
ness. in the manufacture of scientific insJru-
ments, opera glasses, watch cases, springs and
many other things
Speaking of platinum calls to mind the sands
on the beaches OF northern California, Oregon
and Washington, which contain that metal as
well as gold, in very considerable quantities.
They are literally golden sands" assaying often
many dollars to the ton. Since rock has been
crushed with profit for fifty cents worth of
gold to the ton such sands as these ought to be
well worth working. In fact, they are already
worked to considerable extent though by
such unsatisfactory methods that not much
success has been obtained. There are many
difficulties in the way. Owing to the weight
of the metals the gold and platinum are found
at some little depth. Accordingly, the upper
and barren sand has to be dug away before the
rich stuff can be got at very ingenious
method has been devised for accomplishing this
purpose, which is in fact jetty system on a
small scale, sc managed that the sand on top ID
washed off. But hardly is the barren sand re-
moved and the pay dirt" got at than a storm
comes and washes the refuse all back again,
leaving tho labor to be done over. The sands
bearing the precious metals are found mostly
in and near the mouths of streams by which
they have been washed down out of the hills.
A difficulty similar to that described was found
by Edison when he wanted to get iron out with
great magnets from beach on the Long Is
land coast. One day the beach was . rich
mine and the next day the mine was thirty
miles out at sea.
The great silver mines Of the future are
doubtless located in Idaho, where the noun

sOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS FEATURES.
In the same way as similar organizations
among people OF other races these Hebrew
benevolent orders have features which are
important in the social life of the people.
The synagogues also, to q certain extent, are
social centers. Here there are two prin-
cipal congregations and several minor ones.
The membership of the latter is mainly COM
posed OF Russian and Polish Jews. who are, as
yet. too small in numbers and poor III purse to
own a place OF worship of their own. Under
the rules of the church government of the
Hebrews ten families can constitute q congre-
