silver In the Arts.

Silver is far more widely used in
the arts today than ever before
The most common articles are now
plated with it or made from the
pure substance. In various shapes
it is sold in dry goods shops instead
of being handled exclusively by
jewellers, as was the case few
years ago. Many novel employ
ments for it are already found.
Much of it is used in photography
in the shape of nitrate, and entire
ly lost. In medicine the same nj
trate is taken for epilepsy--the
symptoms of which it mitigates but
does not cure, while turning the
complexion of the patient blue
and, of course, is simply nitrate of
silver. Silver is substituted for
bone in surgery, in trep Inning and
otherwise. Good looking-glasses
are hacked with silver and not
mercury, as is popularity supposed.
The glass is laid down in nitrate
bath--that is. silver dissolved in
nitric acid--and the addition of
Epson Salts causes the metal to
deposit itself in a chemically pure
film on, the, surface, In Pliny's
time, by the way, mirrors were
commonly made Of silver, though
previously they were manufactured

MISCELLANEOUS.

Several wild turkeys that had a
love for swallowing shining parti-
cles had been shot by hunter on
one of the branches near San Diego
Texas, and Melted him quite q
handsome sum in gold, which he
found in their crops, and which
they had picked up. In South
Africa ostriches have been success
fully employed IN finding gold de-
posts. A drove of birds are turn
ed loose to feed in the territory
where the precious metal is suppos-
ed to exist. They are then given
an emetic, and the ejecta carefully
examined for nuggets, and if any
are found the trail of the bird is
followed until the diggings are dis
covered.

Not Much Cold I'm the Sand.

The discovery OF gold in the sand used
on Union aciflc engines and taken
from sand-bar on the Columbia is no
dis overy at all In the sense of being
something new. From where the Snake
River leaves the Rocky Mountains to
where the Columbia enters the ocean,
there Is gold in the sand This has
been known for years and the Snake
River bars have been rersistently worked
by Cinnamon and those who were will
ing to labor for small wages, while
numerous ma hines have been invented
for separating the gold and the sand.
The difficulty is that the gold is cx-
trcmely fine anil its separation from the
sand difficult. Eager gold hunters on
the sand dunes OF the Columbia will
soon discover that there Is more money
in almost any form Of labor than in
pnnning over those drifted sands

Men and Women Who Have Lifted Great
Weights In Nnr;ouS Nays

Men and Women Who Have Lifted Great
Weights In Various Ways.
George Soptman, of Philadelphia,
lifted 5000 pounds Of iron. The modern
Hercules raised that enormous weight,
says the Brooklyn Eagle, and, with his
load. took a walk around the hall where
he was exhibiting his powers. Soptman
is a giant in muscle ami structure. He
stands feet ! inches in his stockings,
measures 5h inches round his chest and
weighs 273 rounds. scarcely an ounce
Of which is sureriluous flesh. In 173I,
a man living in England. called Thomas
Topha:u, raised three casks filed with
water. the total weight OF the three
being l ,s36 pounds. 4 stage was er, CT
ed for him, and on this stage he accom-
plished what has long been considered
an unparalleled feat of great strength.
Topham lifted, with his teeth and he'd
out for q long time a wooden table six
feet long, with a hundred weight at
tached to one extremity. On one occa-
sion he took a kitchen spit and bent it
around a hostler's neck like a handkcr
chief. 4 German named Bucholz lifted
with his teeth a cannon weighing about
300 pounds and fired it off in that posi-
ton. Nine. Colbert, who appeared first
before the public at st. Bartholomew 5
fair, London in 1918, was q strong

Last Year Was Not Prosperous. and a

The statistical report OF the American
Iron and Steel Association for 1892 has just
been Issued. Reviewing the domestic
iron trade, for 1892. the report says
that prices utterly failed TO respond
to the very great demand for consump-
ton. and 1t can not therefore, be truly
aid that our IRON and steel industries were
prosperous IN lso2. 1t was q year OF good
profits for very few iron and steel manu-
facturers. OF small profits fer many. aud of
no profits at all for large number. Seek
Ing for the cause of the depression the
opinion IS advanced that while other inf1u-
ences have had their part, the principal
cause Is to be found in our capacity to
produce much more iron and steel than the
country could consume. notwithstanding
the enormous consumption the last few
