An Important Discovery.
New York Tribune.


Letters patent have been granted to II.
Augustus Hunicke, mining engineer and
chemist, Of ST. Louis on q process for the
treatment OF argen tifer0us lead ore contain
ing zinc. Mr.. Hunicke claims that his
process will bring to use large amount of
zinc which has hitherto gone to loss. There
are annually mined in the Western States,
he says. thousands of tons Of valuable ore
which has only had the great detriment
that it contains zine. The zinc cannot be
expelled but BY crushing and washing
processes. and that only when the ore Is
coarse grained, and although this washing
process is quite effective in getting rid of
the zinc. it also washes out some silver The
zinc which has thus been washed out eau
not be treated as zinc ore because there ia
present with it toe much iron, so the only
place for it is the dump pile. He can smelt
this ore in such way as TO not only save
the lead and silver as usual. but also large
part OF the zinc. The Zine-collector is then
treated to produce speter. From Mr..
Hunicke's experiments it was found that a
profit of from SIS to $40 per ton of ore Is
earned over and above the usual profit In
the smelling of these ores.

WOMEN AS INTERNES.
DIR. Mary Putnam jacob Talks About
Women in Hospital Practice.

New York Recorder.
"The time has now come when women
should be admitted as resident physicians
in the hospitals. In view of the honorable
position which women III medicine have
now made for themselves. it is crying
injustice that they are not considered ell

New FORK World.
1t is never wise, as 1t is never kind, to
''put on airs" and when those persons who
epdeavor to clothe themselves in vast
superiority come to grief it is seldom that
they succeed in their discount ure. A we'll
known American artist was last summer
sketching in the galleries of the Louvre In
Paris. Being at work he had, of course,
something the appearance of being habitue
of the place, and as such he was several
times addressed by the visitors.
On one occasion he was approached by q
couple of ladies, one of whom asked:
"Can you tell us where to find the statue
of Cupid and"
She paused, says the Boston Courier, in
the evident hope that he would help her
out. but he had heard the name Psyche
pronounced in so many ways that he was
curious to see what would be made out Of it
now. The visitor. finding that he would
not pronounce the name. turned appealingly
to her companion, and the other lady said
with much briskness:
"Why. of course you know; the famous
statue of Cupid-and the person who is with
him."
There was very different air about the
lady who one day haughtiy said TO the
artist:
"Will you be so good as to direct me to
the statue of Catherine de Medici?"
"Ihe statue OF Catherine de Medlcl, he
repeated in some perplexity; II don't re-
member such a statue.

than ever as she replied:
"Oh. it is one of the best-known statues

gentleman was at once amused and an

help you, unless it might be that you have
made mistake and ir is the Venus de

and self betraying.
