"Let me have three ounces OF that

to become a not uncommon order in

a Philadelphia physician, startling
progress has been made in blood heal

only life" he declares, but lives
itself independently. 1t is highly
organized, living tissue, simply in
the transition state. 1t can be made
to live indefinitely in perfect condi-
ton, and can be returned into any
tissue by any opening at any time,
when it will instantly resume its full
creative activity 1t can even be
swallowed, when the patient, suffer-
ing from drainage of blood or hem
orrhages. can take no other drink.
Death from blood starvation will one
day be exceedingly rare. indeed, and
these corked up, vital corpuscles
will be used not only for imminently
dangerous. but for intractable, lin
gering cases"

Rail joints are costly parts Of Q
railway track, much more costly than

The rails now laid In this country
are generally thirty feet long, and II
this length were increased the mum.
Der Of joints would naturally be dc.
creased. But as there are disadvant.
ayes In the way OF lengthening the
present rails, the matter has not at.

In length, but the Norfolk and West

favor, however, for 1t recommends
that each road represented in the
General Managers Association lay

The Mining Expert Was wrong.

said George w. Beal, reminds me
of a chance once had to purchase a
placer claim in Confederate Gulch.
The men who owned the bar offered
ii TO me for 800 cash and were anx-
ious to sell at that figure, but hest
tated- Finally told them 1 would
have an expert examine and test the
ground, and if it was what they rep
resented it to be would purchase it.
This was satisfactory, and my ex
pert made the test and reported un-
faYorably upon it. This settled the
deal, and 1 went on my way in
search of other fields.
About two months later 1 returned
to Confederate Gulch and found a
six mule team and a wagon behind il
containing two tons of gold taken
from a portion of the bar those men
wanted to sell me for S4OO. The team
was ready to start for Fort Benton
with the gold and was surrounded by
80 armed men, who were to guard
the metal on the way. After 1 re
fused to purchase the ground the
men concluded to work it themselves,
and from space of 100 feet square
had taken the two tons of gold.

Mica as an Ornament.

A unique departure in ornamental
art is chronicled in Munich paper
by n. Nauest, in which mica plays a
prominent part as material or ad-
junct. Mica being white, more or
less transparent and having a gloss
similar to silver, it does not cover
sufficiently and needs ground, so that.
If a silver gloss is desired, the ground
Is to be laid in with clear white dis
temper color According to NJ. Nauest.
a fine result is insured after the dis
temper color is dry to have it glazed
over with liquid mica, reduced by so
per cent water or more, using soft
camel's hair brush, and If one coat
does not suffice it may be repeated.
On the mica coat becoming dry,
ornaments may be put on, and if it
appears too light netting may be
stenciled on. If other than white sill
yer grounds are desired, distemper
colors are to be added in small guam
titles to the liquid mica as furnished
by the dealers, mixed well on the pal
cite and then reduced by water ready
for the brush One or two coatings
are then given to the ground, and if
the liquid mica is used colored the
ground is to be colored to match. A
fneze ground done in olive and paint
ed over with uncolored liquid mica
exhibits a very satisfactory gray col
ored glossy surface, and a frieze
ground done In wine red and glazed
in mica colored with chrome orange
shows fine red gloss.

cultivated millionaire does not take
up the work of excavation in the
grand style. Schliemann-one of the
most romantic characters in this
falsely called prosaic century-set
himself to make fortune in order to
reveal the treasury of Aureus. Is
there no one with a fortune ready
made to take the whole under world
for his province7 Even in Italy
whose actual and material poverty
contrasts so strangely with her DO
tential and artistic wealth-the work
has only been half done. You have
only to tickle the soil of Italy with
the hoe, it has been said, in order to
make the fields laugh with corn and
vines. And you have only to tickle a
little lower with the excavators
spade in order to reach treasures of
art and archaeology. But the process
costs money, and the Italian govern
ment is poor.
