Platinum Mines of Russia,

The platinum beds of the UrGl noun
tains are the only ones in the world in
which this metal is found in grains.
Platinum is found in Brazil and in the
Cordilleras in the hard serpentine rocks,
but never in the form Of grains. The
platinum beds Of the Ural mountains
are found in various districts-in the
north at Besserski, in the government of
Perm, in the district of KnOtourski and
in the state properties of GOroblagodat-
ski, where sixty-siX mining concessions
have been granted. All the beds of the
northern region are situated in the basin
of the river Touri, in that of the tribu-
tary stream Of Taghil and in other trib-
utaries higher up.
On the western d~eclivity Of the Ural
mountains there is another platinum
bed neal the river Outka, a tributary of
the TchoussOva, and the basins of the
higher tributaries of the Outka, near the
Ural river. The platinum found in
these places is in the form of grains, in
sand frequently containing gold. The
weight of these grains is from seventeen
to twepty-one grams to every 1910 kilo-
grams of sand.-EXchange.

The Mixed Race of India.

Eurasia has no boundaries. 1t lies, a
varying social fact, all over India, thick
in the great cities, thickest in Calcutta,
where the conditions of climate and bread
winning are most suitable, and where,
moreover, Eurasian charities are most
numerous. Wherever Europeans have
come and gone these people have sprung
up in weedy testimony of them-these
people who do not go, who have received
somewhat in the feeble inheritance of
their blood that makes it possible for
them to live and die in India. Nothing
will ever exterminate Eurasia; it clings
to the sun and the soil, and is marvel
ously provocative within its borders

dogs. in each direction, except for lati-
tudes beyond 90 degs., for which the
width would be 10 dogs. of longitude.
The land surface would require 100

The Result of a Dream.

Before Watts, the discoverer of the
present mode of making shot, had his
notable dream, induced by Overindul-
gence in stimulants, the manufacture in
question was a slow, laborious and con-
sequently costly process. Great bars of
lead had to be pounded into sheets of
a thickness nearly equal to the diameter
of the shots desired. These sheets had
then to be cut into little cubes, placed
in a revolving barrel, and there rolled
until, by the constant friction, the edges
wore off from the little cubes and they
became spherOids.
Watts had often racked his brain try
ing to discover some better and less
costly scheme, but in vain. Finally,
after spending an evening with some
boon companions at an alehouse, he
went home, went to bed and soon fell
asleep. His slumbers, however, were
disturbed by unwelcome dreams, in one
of which he was out with 1.-The boys
and as they were stumbling home it be-
gan to rain shot-beautiful globules of
polished, shining lead-in such numbers
that he and his companions had to seek
shelter.
In the morning Watts remembered his
curious dream and it Obtruded itself on
his mind all day. He began to wonder
what shape molten lead would assume
in falling through the air, and finally,
to set his mind at rest, he assembled
to the top of the steeple of the church
of St. Mary at Radcliffe and dropped
slowly and regularly a ladleful of
molten lead into the moat below. De-
scending, he took from the bottom Of
the shallow pool several handfuls of the
most perfect shot he had ever seen.
Watts fortune was made, for from this
exploit emanated the idea of the shot
tower, which ever since has been the
only means employed in the manufac-
ture Of the little missiles SO important in
wal and sp~ort.-Boston Commonwealth.

A SIGN from Heaven.

"a queer story was related to me
many years ago by Rev. William Simp-
son, then one of the leading lights of the
Methodist church in eastern Iowa and
western Illinois," said Harvey Good
enough, a Hawkeye pioneer, at the La
clede. "While the MOrmO1s were car
rying things with a high hand in west
ern Illinois they converted a young
woman, a member of Elder Simpsons
flock. A few months spent at NauvOO
suficed to ~disenchant her, and she re-
turned home a confirmed skeptic. The
church people labOred with her long and
faithfully, but without overcoming her
unbelief. Before her bedroom window
stood a large oak tree. She announced
that she was going to pray the Lord for
a sign-that she would ask him if he
really had an existence to manifest it by
causing the great oak tree to wither, as
Christ is said to have blasted the IN
fruitful fig tree. She was to prefer her
request for a sign upon which to ground
her faith at 10 o'clock Sunday morning.
Her resolution at once became the
talk of the town, and many visited the
tree and carefully examined it. 1t was
perfectly sound, full of sap and covered
with a prOfusion of brighG green leaves.
At sunset every leaf was as brown and
withered as in the depths of winter. The
elder stated that with a party of men he
cut the tree down and dug up the stump,
and that it was dead from the topmast
branch to the smallest root. The young
woman's prayer had been answered. She
at once re-entered the church and de-
voted her life to missionary work, spend
ing several years in China and JAPAN
