One OF the rare things IN nature
is the copper placers in Bingham
canyon, Utah, where PARTICLES and
even nuggets of considerable size
of copper are washed from gravel
The copper is taken INTO solution
by water percolating through sul-
phides above, and this water,
colored green with copper, bubbles
up in springs below and then flows
through gravel beds mixed with
vegetable matter, something like a
pit bog. This decaying organic
matter has acted as a reagent and
precipitated the copper solution
into highly crystalline aud spark.

A Novel Bridge at Rouen.

This novel engineering work is called
"pont transbordeur" and is designed
to fulfill all the purposes Of bridge,
while it will offer no obstruction to the
passage of ships with towering masts.
On each side of the river will be erected
a small Eitfel tower, about ITO feet in
height, and these towers will be Joined
at the top by latticework bridge upon
which lines of rails will be laid. On
these rails will run a skeleton platform,
which can be pulled from side to side
by the agency of steam or electricity
From this platform, which will be 100
feet above the quays, will depend steel
wire ropes, which will support at the
level of the river banks slung carriage
large enough TO accommodate tram car
full of passengers, besides other vehicles.
1t is intended that this novel form of
bridge shall be in connection with the
tram system at both sides of the river,
so that passengers can be carried across
the river without leaving their seats in
the cars The work of building the tow
ers has already been commenced, and it
is expected that the bridge will be open
for traffic in Is months time. 1t is said
that the only continuance bearing any
resemblance to this "pont transbor-
deur'' is in operation at Bilbao. Cham

Jubilee Stamp Plates DESTROYED,

Philatelists will learn with regret
that, in the presence of the Duke and
Duchess of York, all the plates of the
jubilee stamps issued for the benefit of
the Prince of Wales hospital fund were,
after certain number of impressions
had been issued, ruthlessly destroyed.
In five minutes, by means of swiftly re-
volving grindstones and rasps, the faces
of the steel plates were defaced. The
Duke of York being president of the
Philatelic society, had only to issue his
fat that these stamps were 'cOlleCti-
BILE, " and then they had their value.
The prices were Is and 2s cd. each.
Some of these stamps have already
reached collectors in New York. There
was quite a ceremony attending the de-
struction of the plates, the Bank of
England being the locality and all the

AS flies are very fruitful conveyers of
disease, try very hard to keep them out
CT the house. Cover all windows and
doors with netting. If you cannot afford
frames, tack the netting over the win
dows outside. This is a very good way.
1t allows one to lower the window from
the top as we'll as to lift it from the
bottom, making better ventilation. If
door frames are out of the question,
tack netting very full to the top of the
door castings. In the broad hem at the
bottom sew sufficient good sized pebbles
to give weight, that the netting may
fall quickly into place. If by chance the
children hold the doors open for a mo-
ment, allowing flies to enter, place a
little sticky fly paper here and there,
or when you darken the room leave a
crack of sunshine at any open window
or door. The flies will in "a moment fol-
