the rock

the rock form of gas. Ages
ago, say the, tnere was an eruption
in the bowels OF the earth, at which
time this gas, mixed with gold, rushed
up through the vertical assures with
great force ard soaked its way into
the porous rock in which the gold is
now being found. It was by this
means that the little bits of gold were
dropped throughout the rock, the
precious particles being 80 small that
they could not be detected. Many of
: the old miners had no idea of their
existence, and their extraction now is
only possible by means of the cyanide
process. There is plenty of gold in
salt water. Scientists say that gold
is generally diffused in tbs waters of
the ocean, and one eminent chemist
states that the sea water of the British
coast contains one grain of gold to
every ton of water. The proportion
is much larger in the Great Salt Lake,
and the man who can invent cheap
process of getting out such gold will
have fortune.
Few people have any idea of the
queer forms in which gold is found.
Dame Nature is the most wonderful Of.
jewelers., and she has decorated the
bosom OF old Mother Earth with gold
in thousand different shapes. I saw
a box of gold nuggets and crystals
taken from the Little Johnnie mine
near Leadville. Many of them would
have made beautiful brooches without
redecoration. Some appeared frosted,
and others had been torn from the
rock in the form of sheets and plates.
A great deal of gold is found in crys.
tails. Not long ago there was brought
to the Philadelphia Mint $4,000 worth
of Australian gold. 1t was made up
of little gold crystals, ranging in size
from that of marrowfst pea to that
of the head of pin. Gold is also
found in cubes and eight. sided crys.
tails are common. Some of the gold
nuggets from the California mines are
shaped like moss. The Little Johnnie
has produced great deal of wire gold.

It is not generally known says the
Locomotive Engineering that famous
singer made the first move toward the
establishing of private cars, In 1851.
when the famous Jenny Lind got mar.
ried in Ithis country, she was very
much annoyed during her honeymoon
by the intrusion of impertinent inter
viewers, and to escape the inaiction
she had a passenger car cleared of its
seats and fitted up as drawing room.
In this she was able to stop off at
secluded points or go from place to
place without molestation. The idea
was quite original with the great sim
ger, and directed so much attention
that other people of luxurious tastes
wanted to initiate that method OF
travel. The fashion did not spread
very rapidly. but it got a start then,

vel.p pment of palace and dining ca~s.

AS TO CoLORs.

There is great deal of mixing Of
colors going on il the sanctums of the
most successful designers. Contrasts
are the rule, and some of them are so
violent that they are almost rasping
to the nerves. Black and white in the
same toilet or the same material are
simply rage. 1t is said that there
is more black and white material
in stock than during any season for
years past. This combination is to
be worn on all occasions, and whether
for the most elaborate receptions, for
the street, for church, for pretty
house dresses, or even the simple and
inexpensive sateen or print, black and
white is well up in the list OF favorites.

Pekin and, and is there melted down
into small bars of about the size of the
little cakes known as lady fingers. It
is almost pure, often running over
twenty karats in ineness. 1t is cast
in this small shape in order that it
may be boarded and easily passed
from hand to hand. The Off
cials, who in many cases make for
tunes out of their Offices, buy these
gold bars and secrete them. They do
not dare to put their money into the
banks, for fear that their brother Off
cials may discover their wealth and
confiscate it. The result is that such

more in Pekin than they will in
Shanghai. There are said to be more
than 100 places in China where gold
is found. In Mongolia there are
number Of mines. and in the south
western part Of the empire there
are gold workings which are 100 feet
deep.
A great part of tie gold of both
Japan and China comes from Korea.
The Korean mines are said to be very
rich. Korea is mountainous, and
nearly all OF its mountains contain
minerals. During my visit to the
country eight years ago our American
minister told me that he believed the
gold product amounted to $4,000, 600
q year. General Clarence Greathouse,
the American foreign adviser to the
king, described the mines as very
valuable, and foreign merchants
showed me quilts of gold dust and lit
tie nuggets which had been brought
to them by the people. So tar nearly
all of the gold gotten out OF Korea
has come from placer washings. There
are few quartz mines, but these are
worked in the crudest of ways. The
loose rock is pried out with picks or
crowbars. When such means fail q
fire is built upon the rock, and when
it is hot water is thrown upon it to
crack it. After the ore is gotten out
it is crushed between two stones, the
under stone being flat and the upper
one somewhat round, so that it can be
rolled backward and forward over the
ore, crushing It. After it is crushed
the metal is saved by hand panning.
No pumps are used, and blasting pow
der and dynamite are practically un-
known. There is no quicksilver to
gather the gold, and in all probability
the most of It goes to waste. The

Salt Lake, is also affected by the lac
of water, but this has been remedied
by forcing water over the mountains
from a stream on the other side. The
parties who own the waterworks have
fortune in them. Water, in fact,
costs SO much in Mercur that the mills
using it do not allow the steam to
escape, but run it oil into pipes up the
mountain. AS the steam strikes the
cold pipe it condenses and flows back
so that it can be used again.
An enormous amount of gold of the
world is locked up in India. During
q visit to that country few yesrs ago
] found that gold had gone out of cir
culation. The people seemed misera-
bly, poor, but they had quantities of
jewelry. Girls dressed in cotton often
wore gold and silver bracelets and
anklets, and many barefooted girl
had gold rings and gold bells on her
toes. For ages the East Indians have
been oppressed. They have not dared
