softly strutted over to the kittens and
tried to comfort them. She huddled
them under her wings, cooling hen-fash-
ion, and did her best to tell them that
she would be a mother to them.
That night and for several days there
after, the specified hen watched over
the kittens ceaselessly. Her own nest
of eggs was neglected. She covered
her foster children with her wings, gave
them good advice and an occasional
scolding in hen language, and tried fire.

way, N. J., where they stray over from
Goat Hill. Now, no engineers want to
hit or kill anything, but many of them
have wished they could catch a billy,
for he is so tantalizing. He'll stand
on the tracks, generally at right angles
with the rails, chewing his cud, and
win pay no more attention to the whis-
tie than to the ballast on the roadbed-
Sometimes he viii turn his eyes to-
v ard the iron horse speeding toward
him, but it seems to have no terTors
for him, and he holds his ground until
you cannot see him from the cab on
account of your proximity, when pres
tol he is gone, and if you look out of
the cab at the roadside you'll see Mr..
Billy standing there waiting for you to
pass.
THE other day at East Newark I
saw big black one standing on No.
ahead of US as we were en- route for
Jersey City. To give him warming, I
footed my whistle. He never stirred.
He was chewing away and gazing down
toward Newark bay. he had an elegant
goatee, which the east wind was toying
with. We were running at a lively rate,
and were soon within 100 feet of him
Now, said I to myself, I'm going to get
a billy sure. In an instant we had
passed the spot I saw no goat shoot
up in the air, nor did feel any jar
nor any resistance communicated to
the sensitive throttle, as we usually do.
Then looked out Of the cabs window.
Sure enough, as usual there was Billy
at the roadside, looking up at us and
wagging his tail. When you hear of a
goat being killed on this road by a loco
motive just let me know about it."

A mile and half from Franks, I. T,
@ very large spring of clear, sparkling
water bubbles up through the gravel at
the foot Of Boggle mountain, tumbles
swiftly down the hills over numerous
falls and runs a big Touring mill at
Franks for 3. F. Bryd. In the water is
a substance that attaches itself to the
buckets Of the wheel. forming a hard,
smooth stone about them that has to
be broken of every six weeks with a
hammer. Wood OF bones thrown into
the water are petFifed in a very short
time, and rare and curious formations
are to be seen in and about the stream.
Near the mill the roots Of a large fallen
tree, over but not in the creek, are all
turned to stone.

Millions of dollars in gold, says The
Manufacturers Gazette, are annually
taken from rude heaps of base looking
quartz by the flowing of water over huge
piles of broken rocks that contain the pre-
cious metal, and the water used by miners
in bringing gold from piles of mineral
bearing quartz is charged with Il simple
chemical which has the potency To dissolve
gold and hold ii in sOlution-the sparkling
liquid whicS flows over hundreds of tons
of quartz trickles through the mines and
finds its level, laden with gold, is charged
with a deadly poison, cyanide of potas-
stun, drug which ferrets out the minut-
est particles Of the yellowish metal and
dissolves them, bringing the precious bur
den to the watts for conversion into refined
gold again. The cyanide process is as
noiseless and unerring as the laws of gray
itation The method is based on the fact
that even a very weak solution of cyanide
of potassium dissolves gold and silver,
forming respectively auro-potassic cyanide
and argentp-pOtassic cyanide, the solution
being separated from the solid material
and the gold and silver precipitated IN
metallic form. Precipitation is effected by
the use of fine pieces Of zinc so arranged
that when the rich waters flow over them
! the fine gold clusters in rich deposits over
the zinc, for which it has an afilnity-the
gold depositing itself in the form of fine
dust on the plates of zinc

With Dorkins, arm in arm,
