Extracting Gold From Its Ores.

In this process molten lead is used
for extracting gold from its ores in
stead Of mercury. The lead is melted
on shallow hearth and the powdered
ore is fed in at one end and carried
forward as film over the surface of
the lead by means of an agitator NOV
ing over that surface. It is thus
brought to the other end, where it es-
capes through a hopper. In order to
prevent oxidation of the lead, the
chamber is kept filed with carbonic
oxide from a gas producer.-Scien-

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Culture never made a saint.


A stingy man is never contented.
He that sips of many arts drinks OF
none.
True faith will 1--we and grow in any
climate.
Preaching aimed at the head seldom
strikes the heart.
Benevolence without love has no
more heart in it than an auction
block.
A lie always has dagger in its
hand, no matter how we'll meaning it
may look.
A guilty conscience is like whirl-
pool, drawing in all to itself which
would otherwise pass by.
Tenderness of affection toward the
most abandoned sinners is the highest
instance of a godlike soul.
Trust him little who praises all,
him less who censures all, and him
least of all who is Indifferent to all.
He who is false to present duty
breaks thread in the loom, and will
find flaw when he may have forgotten
its cause.
Some men have an idea they will
some day walk in the streets of glory
because they now and then give away
an old coat.
When one has light enough to per-
ceivA that ono is mistaken and too
much vanity to own it, and instead OF
turning back one goes still deeper into
ones errors, it is the progress and the
consolation of pride.
When what You read elerates your
mind and inspires you with high and
noble feelings, do not seek for any
other rule by which to judge the com
position ; it is good, made by the hand
Of On experienced workman.

High Mountains in America.

1t may surprise the reader OF this
'note'' who is little rusty on geog-
raphy to be informed that there are
over 800 mountains on the North
American continent that are over
10000 feet in height, but such is the
case. In Alaska alone there are scores
of them, and not less than five in that
boreal region exceed Is, 900 feet. st.

Bacteria in Animal SaiiTa.

The saliva OF dogs and cats is espe-
cially rich in bacteria, that of the lat.
ter containing form which is seldom
observed and SO fatal that rabbits and
guinea pigs inoculated with it die i'll
twenty-four hours. The dogs saliva
contains an even greater number of
bacteria, plus occasional eggs of in
testinal worms and so on. Those fond
and loving women who are prone to
waste their caresses upon lap dogs will
be interested in this item.

Spanish SloWness.

The departure OF train from a
Spanish station is generally a very
leisurely proceeding. The first bell is
taken to mean that the portcrs must
leave of borrowing cigars from the
passengers, the second is a hint TO the
engine driver to finish his lunch, and
at the third the guards begin to slam
doors as a warning to the stragglers to
get inside. Ten minutes afterward
the head guard sounds his whistle,
and five minutes later the engine re-
spends with shrek, which signifies
that the excuses for delay are e2-
hausted. New Yorl. Dispatch. =

The EehemOth.

The mammoth, or Behemoth, is not
vet universally regarded as extinct.
According to Siberian and Chinese be-
lief the race is merely banished under
ground, its "blind life being in
stantly exterminated by glimpse of
the suns, or even of the moons, rays.
The inference might almost be called
a logical one from the state of the I'M
earthed remains.
In several cases the great beast has
emerged from his millennial retire
ment as completely arrayed as fdeath
had only just oyertaken him, his hide
densely clothed with fulvous wool,
and that again covered by long black
hair; his name falling from his
shaggy shoulders, his antediluvian
eyes actually staring from their
sockets. Contemporary dogs and
wolves find mammoth flesh appetizing,
in spite of its semi-fossil character !;
mammoth bones have been proved to
contain a remunerative amount of
gelatine, and in Kamchatka to this
day mammoth fat is largely used for
fuel.
The first mammoth tusk seen in
Western Europe was brought to Lon
don in 1911 by one James Logan, who
had purchased it from the Samoyedes,
and Father Avril, a Jesuit who crossed
Siberia in 1855. wrote that 'the Rus
SLAMS had discovered sort of ivory
winter and smoother than that which
comes from India"
The substance was priced, too, as a
styptic, and was said to be derived
from a powerful amphibious creature,
cas- big and as dangerous as q croco-
dile," living chiefly at the mouth OF
the Lena. Fossil ivory, toward the
close of the eighteenth century, be-
came an object of general commerce,
and incredible quantities were ex-
ported from its arctic repository.
Middendorf, about fifty years ago, es-
timated the annual sale at 10000
pounds weight, and upward of 1900
tusks are known to have reached Lon
don in 1872.
Yet the supply remains unexhaust-
ed, and may. indeed, be called mex
haustible. It is the demand which
has of late fallen off or failed. In
Russia and China, it is true, almost
exclusive use is made of the excavated
material, but its brittleness and ten
dency to discoloration practically ex-
clude it from 4 IN <nAkets.-Ed-

MEASURING ASTEROIDS

he Results Obtained With the Lick Tel
escope In Astronomical Measurements.
From the Rochester Democrat and Chron-
tcle.
Professor E. E. Barnard has recently
published in Popular Astronomy the result
of his experiments with the Lick tele-
scope in measuring the four asteroids,
teroids were the first discovered between
the orbits OF Mars and Jupiter. and for
many years after 1907 were supposed to
be the only bodies OF the kind.
In 1S45 new discoveries were made by
Hencke and from that time the number
amounted to 2H In 1889. Attempts have
been made to estimate the diameters Of
the four principal asteroids by the meas
ure Of light reflected. AS II was neces-
sary to take one of the planets for COM
parison. no accurate conclusions could be
reached, because of probable differences
In the rejecting power. 1t is well known
that some portions of the moon reflect
less light than others, and that a meas
ure Of the light from a given surface on
the gray seas would give an inauequate
idea OF the total reflection of light from
our satellite.
Having access to the only telescope IN
the world that can give to the larger as
teroids an appreciable disc, Professor
Barnard began the difficult work. After
careful measurement he found the diane
ters to be as follows:
Ceres, ass miles; Pallas. 3o4; Juno, lis:
Vesta, A3
These measures disproved the estimates
that had been made by Measurement of
light as Vesta, being the brightest, had
been considered the largest Ceres, the
first discovered. Is the largest of the four.
The italian astronomer. Piazza, of Pal
ermo. found Ceres Jan. 1. 1901.
Perhaps measurements OF some OF the
smaller asteroids can be made with the
new Yerkes telescope, when II is ready
for work. This instrument will have a
clear diameter OF 40 inches and In light
collecting power will surpass the Lick tel
essope, as 900 Is to 1,296, that is, as the
squares of the diameters are to each
other.
