FORMATION -oF SILVER MINES.
How Nature Accumulates the Great Stores

How Nature Acc umulates the Great Stores
OF Valuable Ore.
The process by which nature forms
her silver mines is very interesting. II
must be remembered that the earth S
crust is full of water, which percolates
everywhere through the rocks, making
solutions of elements obtained from
them. These chemical solutions take up
small PARTICLES Of the precious metal,
which they find here and there. Some
times the solutions in question arc hot,
the water having got SO far down as
to be set boiling by the internal heat of
the globe. Then they rush upward,
picking up the bits of metal as they go.
Naturally heat assists the performance
of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus form
ed, perpetually flowing hither and thith-
er below the ground, pass through
cracks or cavities in the rocks, where
they deposit their loads Of silver. This
is kept up for great length Of time
perhaps thousands Of years-until the
fissure or pocket is filled up. Crannies
permeating the stony mass in every di-
reotion may become filed with the pre-
cious metal, or occasionally chamber
may be stored full of it, as if million
hands were fetching the treasure from
all sides and hiding away future mine

tributor, to The Outlook may be of assist
ance to amateurs: II have found a
method by. which photograph or en-
craving can be mounted on tho thinnest
paper without curling or wrinkling. If
the picture is a photograph, it should
be ironed out smooth with a hot iron
and then trimmed. Mix little gum
arabic in hot water SO as to make a
rather thick mucilage. Place the pic.
'ture on the page in position and mark
just inside the corners. Remove the
picture and take some of tho mucilage
on ruling pen and draw heavy line
Of mucilago from one. point to another,
SO as to make line of mucilage all
around tho place where the picture is tc
be. As soon as the rlucilage is sticky
put the picture in place and book ever

The existing militia Law OF the United
States was passed May 8, 1902, and has
been amended from time to time by
acts passed in 1895, 1900, 1903. 1908,
1910, 1918. 1914. 1916. 1918, 1920. 1886.
1866, 1851 and 1852. In 1908 the annual
sum of 100000 WAS appropriated for
the purpose Of providing arms and
equipments for the whole body OF the
militia oi the United States, and In 1887
the annual sum OF $4OO, 900 was sppro-
prcpriated to provide arms and equip
ments. The federal law governing the
militia 10 comprised in sections OF the
revised statutes. 1926 to 1862 inclusive,
and section 1867. aud chapter 172 Of the
laws OF 1882, which provides for supply
ing heavy guns and mortars to the mi
litia for practice at seacoAst posts.
Chapter 129 OF the laws OF 1887 provides
for the annual appropriation of $4C0. 900
for the militia, and chapter 372 of the
laws OF 1889 relates to the purchasing OF
arms for the militia.
The militia, instead Of being a ma
tional organization 90 originally con.
templated, has grown into O system OF
aggregated state militia Of as many vari-
eties almost as there are states and ter
ritories in the union. The diversity in
organization is only exceeded by the rel
alive disparity in numbers. The total
organized strength of the militia is 49,
100, commissioned officers and enlisted
men, according to the latest returns re-
oeived ct the Office of the adiutant gem
eral, United States army, for the year
1893, and is divided among the states as

Grand aggregate

In view of the frequent employment
OF this force in active service, as wit
ness the disturbances that have occurred
during tho present year In every eec-
ton OF the United States, New Eng
land excepted, calling for the exercise
OF the military arm, it is pertinent for
the observant citizen to inquire into
tine federal relations of the military or
ganizations indicated in the above tabu>
lated statement and commonly known
as National guards. Upon what legal
footing do these Inultiform forocs stand
with respect to the government? Are
they really national guards of the
United States, or merely military forces
OF the several states, denominated ma
tional by local or state laws, customs
or usages?
The most cursory examination OF the
subject, think, must show that the
volunteer militia OF the United States
is- not a national organization. in the
true sense OF the term. ii in any sense of
that term but on the contrary. that it
is simply the militia OF the several
statee composed OF some A separate,
distinct, independents bodies of volun-
teer state troops, existing each under its
own system OF laws, deriving each sup
port from the state treasury and foster
ing each a jealous state pride as we'll "a
enthusiastic devotion to the union.
II we are to understand the term ina
tional guard" body of citizen eoldiery,
national in organization, national in
armament, in discipline, in purpose.
deriving it's powers and it's support from
the generel government, then We have
no national guard, except in name and
no organized militia OF the United States
such as the constitution calls for and the
fathers and founders Of the republic de-
signed.
As matter OF fact, the organized, uni.
formed militia in many OF the states IL
not even designated national guard.
For instance. the STATUTORY name of the
force in Maine, Massachusetts,, Rhode
leland, Virginia and West Virginia, is,
or was until recently, volunteer mi-
litia"; in Alabama. Florida, Michigan
and South Carolina it is "state troops" !;
in Kentucky and North Carolina, Estate
guards"; in Georgia and the District OF
Columbia, "militia'; in Indiana. ''le-
gion"; in Texas, volunteer guard"; in
ell the other states OF the union the vol
unteer militia are known and desig
mated by Law as national guard.
The term national guard is unknown
to the constitution Of the United States,
and 1t is not used In the acts ofcongress !;
nowhere does it appear in the statutes
of the United States. Militia"
"active militia" regularly enlisted.
organized and uniformed active militia"
are the terme employed in all the ma
tional Legislation relating to the militia.
The fact that the volunteer troops in
some of the states are called national
guards does not make them national
militia, nor in any manner change the
nature of such organizations. ''The Na-
tional Guard of California, (" for instance,
possesses no more national character
istics than the Volunteer Militia OF
Massaahusetts, the Estate Troops of
Michigan" or the Estate Guard of
North Carolina.
All are substantially alike in their re-.
lations to the federal government. Or

him to come to her. He, obeyed and
when he met her recognized his grand
mother who had been dead twenty
years and in life had a cancer on her

8 per cent. inter est; but as that Is quite
the usual thing he signed without pro
test and passed the note back to the
cashier. This functionary then, with
a celebrity acquired by long practice,
passed out five brand new national
bank notes, bearing his own signature
and that of the president of the bank,
and each having printed on its face the
promise of the bank to pay the bearer
SO on demand. These were accepted
by my friend, and he walked out quite
satisfied that he had obtained the
amount of money he had asked for.
The truth of the matter is he had not
received the $50 he wanted, but had
got instead, five of the banks prOmis-
sorry notes. each a promise to pay $40.
He had simply snapped promissory
notes with the cashier, and ~agreed-to
pay eight per cent. interest on his own
note as an inducement to the corpora
ton to swop.
The people of this country a keep
up this sort of thing just as long as
they think they can afford it. Or they
can end it just as soon as they get sense
enough to see that they are swindled
by such operations. Judged by the
present standard of morality, bankers
are guiltless of wrong doing in such
transactions as that just described. In
the language of an Ohio bank presi-
dent, 1.-The people of this country have
saddled and bridled themselves, put
spurs upon us, and invited us to ride,
and we are fools if we don't do it," In
the language of an Illinois banker to a
close friend: You greenbackers are
right. The national bank system is
robbery; but so long as it is perfectly
lawful, you can hardly blame US for
taking advantage of it," The greater
part of the American people do not
blame the bankers for taking advan-
tage of them, and a very large proper
ton do not even know that they are
being swindled by the national banks,
