Possibilities of surgery

The extent to which the human body
can be mutilated without causing death
is beyond what most people think. OF
course the removal Of the largest limb
is familiar fact, but the successive re-
moval of all the limbs would in most
cases result in nothing worse than in
convenience. In the same way the in
ternal organs may be extirpated. This
is facilitated by their quality. One kid
ney may be removed, and the other will
make up for the loss by doing double
work. One eye may be taken out and
the sight remain practically unimpair-
ed. Large portions of the brain may be
removed with no injury to life or intel
lect. A portion of the intestines has
been cut out and the ends sewed togeth-
er, and their normal action and func-
ton have not been interfered with. st.

A Legal Tilt.

The following amiable contest oc-
cured in Westminster hall between
Lord Campbell and an eminent queens
counsel. The action was one brought to
recover for damages done to q carriage
which the O. 9. repeatedly called a
broug- ham, pronouncing both syllables
of tho word brougham, whereupon
Lord Campbell pompously observed:
''Broom is the more usual pronuncia-
ton. A carriage of the kind you mean
is generally and not incorrectly called
broom. That pronunciation is open to no
grave objection, and 1t has the great adj
vantage Of saving the time consumed by
uttering an extra syllable. " Half an
hour later in the same trial Lord Camp
bell, abiding to decision given in n
similar action, said, "In that the car
riage which had sustained injury was
an omnibus Pardon me, my lord, -
interposed the O. c., "a carriage of the
kind to which you draw attention is
usually termed bus That pronuncia-
ton is open to no great objection, and
it has the great advantage of saving the
time consumed by uttering two extra
syllables. Tho interruption was fol-
lowed by a roar Of laughter, in which
Lord Campbell joined more heartily
than any one else. -Argosy.

IN A GOLD STAMP MILL.
Crushing Hundreds of Tons of Rock For a
Small Ball of Ore.

Crushing Hundreds of Tons of Rock For u
Small Ball of Ore.
For recovering free gold from its ores
the only successful method, though
crude, which has attained any measure
of confidence is that known as stamp
milling. Imagine long, low building,
one side lined with portfolios, through
which rock is fed into huge mortars.
In these, ranged along the wall, pestles,
called stamps, drop at regular intervals,
pulverizing the rock in bath of water.
One hundred and twenty of these
stamps, weighing 600 pounds each,
pound away at the quartzose ore, with
20 or 80 strokes minute, amid infer
nal din, contrasting strangely with the
engine that quietly drives them all.
Each swish of the water that seems
glad to escape the noisy thraldom and
ceaseless pounding drives little of the
pulpy ore through screens i'll the front
of the mortars and over inclined copper
plates, the mercurial surface of which
seizes the freed gold while the rock dis
appears over tho tailboard, onward to
the creek Formerly no effort was made
to recover any value from these tailings,
which still contained over 90 per cent
Of the mineral. Now, however, tho use
of additional plates and tables adds to
tho total receipts, which are further in
creased by the introduction of blankets,
in tho nap of which some of the riches
are mechanically collected, Though
crude, this is an Improvement upon the
method of collecting gold in the Malay
islands, where the washings swept over
PROSTATE women, in whose hair the
metal was caught On every Sunday the
giant pestles are hung up for rest, while
the mercury gold alloy is scraped off the
plates After straining, the amalgam is
of almost the consistency OF thick eern-
meal mash and contains about one
fourth of its weight in invisible par
ticles of gold. From the results of each
weeks run the mercury is distilled,
leaving beautiful, porous cake of metal
of the size of baseball, as the fruits of
prospecting for, mining and stamping of
perhaps 200 tons of ore CASTER
