Queen VIctoria's Habit,

"the queen" would like SO and so, or

state occasions, and In state documents
and formal addresses, the method is of
course quite natural, but used in con-

life it seems somewhat curious.

The following story is told by one Of
Arizona's early pioneers:
In 1864 DR.. Alsap and Lord Duppa
we'll known pioneers, were prospecting
with q party in the Bradshaw noun
tains on the Hassayampa creek. One
morning the party separated for the pur.
pose Of hunting. In going up canyon,
in which they were separated from their
companions by high mountains, Dup
pas detachment was attacked by large
band Of Tonic Apaches. The whites
gradually fought their way across the
ridge with the hope Of rejoining their
companions. During the advance Dup
pa, who was stationed behind q rock,
noticed that he was the particular mark
OF an Indian with bow. Several ar
rows had fallen at his feet. and one
struck him in the arm. Raising his rifle,
he took aim, and Just as he was touch.
ing the trigger the supposed Indian
cried, "Don't shoot" in good English,
but it was too late, and the body fell
over with life extinct. Soon after the
two parties succeeded in forming juno
ton, and the Indians retreated, leaving
their dead.
Out OF curiosity the party returned to
the place where Duppa killed the sup
posed Indian and found that it was q
white woman, evidently about 80 years
Of age and dressed in all the parapher-

Recent researches in the archives OF
the Venetian republic have brought to
light the records Of the mysterious and
dreaded council Of ten, inclusive Of the
minutes Of their most secret meetings,
which We're kept with the greatest care
and regularity. This council was the
real executive power in the republic,
the doge, especially in the later years
OF Venetian history, being purely an or
namental parsonage and deprived Of all
real power. 1t is well known that the
council deposed and executed more than
one dcge for alleged crimes against the
state and was only controlled in the ex-
ercise Of its authority by the grand coun-
Gil, from which the majority Of vene-
tan citizens were, after the closing Of
the golden book Of the council. perma-
nently excluded.
In the domain Of police and foreign
affairs the council Of ten reigned su-
preme, the grand council, when it met
which was not very often-confninp
its action to home legislation and the
election to Office bearers. The assaseina-
ton by poison Of enemies Of the repub-
lie was considered an important branch
OF public business, and proposals for
this purpose were eagerly listened to
and discussed at the councils meetings

tho world Tor half century he NAV
quite reasonably be called the greatest
player on earth. Wyllie is now rs years
old and very deaf, but his sight is still
keen. and he is yet able to defeat nearly
every man he meets I'm too auld for
draughts, he says sadly, but be usual.
" manages to win Whenever the stakes
are worth securing.
Wyllie was born in the Pierce Hill
barracks, near Edinburgh, in 1890, and
ut the time Of his birth his father was
o sergeant major in the Scots Guards.
As mere lad Wyue was apprenticed
to kilmarnock weaver, but his re-
markable skill as checker player made
him famous and induced him to aban-
don learning the weaver's trade. A dro-
yer named Porteus whom young Wyllie
had beaten took Wyllie to Edinburgh
md surprised the natives. Porteus be-
gan game with local player Of repu-
tation named Bertram and then found
an excuse to drop ont Of the contest.
LET my herd laddie play for me-" he
said. Bertram consented, and to his
amazement the herd Lddie won 80
games out Of 60. and Bertram only sue
ceeded IN securing a single draw. The
story Of this achievement gave willie
great local fame, which was increased
when be defeated Professor Andrew An.
derson and Robert Martins, two great
Scotch players.
Wyllie then became a watch peddler
and travelled about Scotland selling
timepieces rs regular business and
playing checkers for money against all
Corners. "A shullen a game" was his
price no matter who played against
him. and when he first visited America
III 1878 he charged his opponents 25
cents game. During this tour he
played over 1000 games, losing less
than 90. In 1881 he again visited Amer
ici anil wen 1864 out Of l9,5l7 games,
drew / i54 and lost only 100. In match
games he defeated C. F. Barker. the
celebrated Boston expert, but was beat
ell by Clarence A. Freeman, the Provi-
dence expert, who is Of Indian descent,
and the ia;e r. D. Yates Of BROOKLYN.
"y!!le also played throughout England
and Australia and has made great deal
OF money as the result Of his skill.
Wylhe claimed to be the champion Of

he was beaten by q young Scotch expert,

AN ELECTRICAL PROCESS.
A New Plan Tor working keoeihoas
Ores to Ne Introduced In the West

New Plan for working Rebeiiious
Ores to Ne introduced In the West
George ID. Burton, of New York
thus describes new process for work
ing rebellious ores, which he INTENDS
To introduce in the West: The ore Is
placed i'll receptacle of about hait a
bushel capacity, made to stand an estl-
mated heat of 10, 900 degrees, which Is
greater heat than can DO measured
by any pyrometer now III use Inc
bottom of these receptacles are perlor-
ated with holes from ono.haf to one
inch in diameter. Any number OF
these may DO used III u battery to get
whatever capacity may DO required
As the ore is heated the metal melts
and drops i'll globules down through u
solution coming up through the hole
Tho basis OF this ISOLATION is water,
with its gravity increased by adding
salt. soda, borax, alum, cyanide or
other acids.
Different metals require different
denSities, depending on the amount OF
heat required to melt and cause them
to leave the ore. The yoltaic ores
could not be formed without increasing
the gravity, neither would the metals
leave the ore without some lux To
make it run.
by increasing the voltage one metal
after another can DO removed separate
ly. For instance, take piece OF ore
containing silver, gold. copper and
lead. With low voltage and moder-
ate amperase and by elevating the so
luton into contact through the holes,
an arc is formed. aud lead will be llq-
uitied and go down. Then by increa.-
ing the voltage and amperage silver
would fall, and So with copper and
gold, all fusing at different degrees
of heat.
The works i'll Canada are for work.
ing the nickel. and there all the nickel
III the ore Is saved. while but about
half Is by the old process. Aside from
that, by this process and the use OF
condensing stacks, all sulphur, arsenic,
and other volatile aud valuable iugre-
dents may BE- saved. In other words.
every thing OF value, and all OF it. i,
separated and preserved. IL makes no
difference how rebellious tho ore may
be-and this means a great deal when
you consider how much valuable ore Is
not worked at all on account OF the cost
by the old process. As to the cost,
there Is great advantage, and the
electricity may be transmitted twenty
miles To mine from the SOURCE VI
power, thus saving the cost OF hauling
the ores
