THE GOLD PLACERS.
Further News ON the Discovery Near
Sprlnger-A Rio Grande Placer
Deal.

Additional news is at hand by wire to-
day concerning the placer gold discovery
near Springer. The gravel is found only
few feet below the surface and begin
ming at point half mile from town it
extends, so far as has yet been traced, for
a distance of eight miles toward the foot
hills of the Cimarron mountain range.
Many tests were made yesterday by pan
ming and good sized colors were found
averaging twenty to the pan. 1t is
thought that the whole distance from
Springer to the foothills will show colors,
and that with depth the gold will be
found in coarse particles that will justi-
fly extensive washing plans. Naturally
the people of Springer are much elated
over the discovery.
RIO aRANDE PLACER DEAL.
Mr.. j. P. Connors, late of Kansas City,
has recently sold to VIM. M. Woody and
a syndicate of bankers and cattlemen of
Decatur, Texas, several placer claims
along the Rio Grande, not far from Rim
conada, Taos county. Half dozen of
the interested parties are now on the
ground and at work with good results,
taking out about $65 per day. They have
pump and hydraulic giant in opera
tion. A second pump, the Wonder pat
tern, arrived from Kansas City over the

out to them over the D. & R. G. this

an exceedingly low key-be a grand
worker but degraded player. That Is
because work Is subject to constraint,
and play $50 far forth is not. The
only way we can exactly determine
our own character is by noticing what
It is we do when we are doing exactly
what we want to do-that is, what we
do when we are at play. There is no
criterion Of mans quality SO accur-
ate as his amusements, for in them
there is the remuneration OF DISCUSSES.
Our real inwardness discloses itself
not in what we do, but in what we per.
fectly enjoy doing. This test is rather
a severe one, and is, perhaps, calcu-
lated by the books he devotes himself
to when he is studiously at work, but
by those he is absorbed in when he is
reading for the pleasure of it."

In League with Satan.

Almost every renowned man of an,
tlquity in the Middle Ages was be,
IieVed to be in league with Satan. Prob.
ably the oldest legend Of which the
Faust legend Is a continuous thread Is
that Of Simon Magus According to
Justin, he was a native of Clifton. a
village in Samaria; he was, no doubt,
man Of great intellectual powers. He
was the father Of the school of the
Gnostics. 1t is also reported of him
that he could make himself invisible,
that he could pass through flames IN.
harmed, could transpose matter, make
gold, and exercise demons; in fact, he
laid claim to all these powers, and his
name as a miracle worker lived
through many centuries. Unusual ac-
cOmplishmentS, great erudition, were
attributed to the supernatural influ-
ence, and the general disposition to
supersdtious assumption was strength
ened on the one hand by dogmatic af-
hrmation on the part Of the church of
the existence of personal Satan, with
his numerous household, and on the
other hand by Incorporating the magic
arts among the practical sciences. Of
which astrolOgy and alchemy occupied
no mean part.

selves, were the best known, and were
most under the eye Of the authorities.
They developed great muscular power
in chest, shoulders and arms. Their
lower extremities suffered, and one
always knew the men who had been
upper yardmen by their tadpole-like APP
pearance when they were bathing.
But in the modern steam line-of-battle
ship and frigates these extremely ath-
letie specimens formed a very small
minority Of the ships company, and
none of them could lose his turn at
being upper yardmen so long as the
ships reputation depended on the speed
with which the upper yards were cross
ed and sent down. In harbor the rest
Of the blue Jackets had the handling
of yards and sails for exercise once or
twice a week, but at sea the use of,
sails for propulsion grew less and less
important, and most of the work aloft
was more of an exercise and less Of
necessity.

She Was Heroine.

Among a party of young men and
women who were taking an evening
ramble the other day near the village
Of Clandy, in County Derry, was a
young man from Belfast who had come
to marry Derry girl, one of the party.
In crossing the River Faughan by a
wooden bridge he missed his footing
and fell into twenty feet of water In
vain the distracted girl besought the
men around to rescue him, but no
one was willing to court an almost
certain death. AS he rose to the sur
face for the third and last time she
leaped into the river herself and,
clutching her now exhausted lover with
one hand, swan with great difficulty
to the river side, where willing hands
received them both.

Louis XII. Of France was affection.

him by the States General for the great
success which attended his administra.
ton Of the internal affairs of France.
His predecessor, Charles VIII, had, by
warlike policy, brought France into
prominence among the European ma
tions; but Louis, in his invasion Of Italy,
lost Naples to France, and was unsuc-
cessful in other enterprises, with the
result that the Industries Of his coun-
try suffered through necessary taxa
ton. He thereupon withdrew from Eu-
ropean politics and devoted himself to
the internal affairs of France. He en-
couraged trade, agriculture and COM
merce, built many public works, and
brought artists from Italy to aid in that
revival of literature and art which af-
terward received the name of the Re.
naissance. He also checked the luxury
Of his court, limited his private ex.
penses to the income from his estates,
and collected and distributed the public
money with such strict economy that
taxes were reduced one-thlrd. This
course rendered him comparatively OBJ
scure, but the justice and wise economy
Of Louis XII. produced in France a
condition Of prosperity which enabled
her to act with power in the affairs Of
Europe. Her territory was compact,
her people more united than ever, and
the authority Of the throne was undis-
puted. Louis so benefited France as
to enable his successor, Francis l., to
prove himself one of the most brilliant
monarchs since the days Of Charlie

EFFEoT q AN ERuPTloN.

Peeple and Cattle Buried Under q
Shower Of Stones iii the West Indfea.
But the bombardment in some places
must have been terrible. 1 have seen
tracts Of land, once smooth and fertile
plantations, now covered with the great
rugged stones so that you have to pick
your way among them as you pass.
Many OF them are four or Eve feet
broad. OF course, these are only the
larger stones; the little ones were bur-
led under the soil long ago.
Stones seem to have fallen all
through the eruption, sometimes in one
place, sometimes in another. Not long
after the first expulsion Of smoke, a
negro boy was tending goats on hill
side; have seen the place often. Sud-
denly small stone fell near him, and
then another. He thought that some
Of his playmates were pelting him
from the bushes, and so began to throw
stones in return. But the contest was
too unequal, for it was the mountain
that was throwing stones at him; and
ere long he fed In terror, leaving his
goats to their fate.
l have no space to tell you the whole
story Of this great eruption; how many
plantations were ruined by the shower
Of stones, and, far worse, how fifty or
perhaps a hundred people. were killed
by them, with great numbers of cattle
and horses; how the lava damned
back a stream and formed n boiling
lake, which broke through after a
month and came kissing down the val
ley, overwhelming a whole negro set
Element; how ashes were carried five
or six hundred miles out to sea and
Bardos, eighty miles on, was darkened
by the cloud, so that people had to
grope their way at noon and use can
dies in their houses; how the explo-
siOns were heard hundreds of miles
away, and 1t was thought that they
were the guns of a great feet or army.
But one thing must tell you. When
the eruption was over and people
could ascend the mountain again, they
found the crater-the one DR.. Bell had
v1slted-all changed. Instead of the
smoking cone, there was a lake Of
water nine hundred feet below, filling
the whole area, and so deep that no
one has ever been able to fathom it.
And beside this, separated from it only
by thin wall, they found new era.

oats Turned Into RnrIev.

The question of 'transmutation of
species" in the vegetable world has
been discussed in all the scientific Jour-
mails in this and foreign countries since
the time when the mind of man began
to inquire into cause and effect, or at
least since journals were first estab-
lished. 1t has been repeatedly assert
ed that wheat will turn to cheat" also,
but less frequently and less positively
claimed, that oats will turn to barley,
and vice versa. This curious fact in
nature" has always been scoffed at by
the scientists. because it is inconsistent
with preconceived theories. Now 1t APP
pears that there Is no doubt whatever
but that such transformation occasion
ally takes place. A gentleman whose
name and place of residence are given
in one Of the leading London papers
carefully planted some picked grains
of oats in a box Of sifted soil. When
the. plants were n foot in height he cut
them down to an inch Of the roots. This
process was three times repeated that
year, and some Of the roots died; but
others survived, and the next year,

Seems TO FLOW I'm Hin.

The historic Welaka River, the mod
ern st. Johns, is to the stranger one
OF the most interesting rivers on the
American continent. 1t Is unique in
many particulars which go to make I'D
river. Finding its source in the far
South, 1t flows northward for nearly all
Its length until, reaching the metropolis
OF Florida, 1t turns eastward and pours
Its great valume of waters into the
ocean. This fact seems the more
strange since the universal opinion
prevails that the extreme south is low
and fiat. and would leave the impress
sion that the river ran up hill as It
cuts Its way through the much. higher
lands of the northern boundary. This.
however, is a minor point of interest
compared with the wild appearance it
presents to the eye of the stranger as
first he beholds 1t, with Its sombre
expresses, almost awakening supersti-
ton, and the swamp hickory, with Its
peculiar. foliage and small but rich
sweetnut, upon which the far-famed
razor-backed hog and the beautiful
gray squirrel feast in profound silence,
but doubtless with voraeious appetite.
A large part Of the shore on each
hand conveys an idea of vastness of
expanse because impenetrable to the
eye. This sombre scene is relieved by
the stately palmetto, ON which are
often festoOned from tree to tree the
wild convolvuli. When seen in the
early morn, when the palatial steamers,
sea-gOing and river, make their way
up and down the majestic stream,
these turn their beautiful cup-shaped
flowers, white as snow, toward the
coming king of day, sparkling with
dewdrops.
The broad Savannas occasionally lie
apparently almost on the level of the
river itself. On these queer formations
abound wild flowers Of every hue,
shape and botanical order, making one
vast picture. framed in the surround
ing forests, enlivened all over with
birds of every hue and sweet song,
while the strong. green growths pre-
sent a tropical vigor of life which is
really an Inspiration to health and
strength.

a Nineteen.Yenr nrnnth.

Fl. O. Russell, scientific man Of New
South Wales, announces as a result
Of a prolonged examination of history
from the earliest times that seasons of
drouth recur with unfailing regularity
at intervals Of nineteen years. OF POS
drouths recorded since the year 900,
all but fifteen conform to this theory,
which is that there are, every nineteen
years, one long period Of three years,
during which the rainfall is somewhat
deficient, and a shorter period between
each Of the long periods when the de-
ficiency Is excessive. He even finds a
confirmation Of the Bible chronology in
the fact that the dates Of the Egyptian
drouth in Joseph's time, the drouth dur.
Ing King David's reign, that foretold
by Elijah and that predicted by Elisha
all fall into the nlneteen-year period.
