The committee of the Royal Society
has also found that the excursions of the
molecules Of gold are not always con-
nned TO the intermoecular spaces but
that the molecules may at any time and
under certain conditions wander off into
space or connect with other metals.
Thls remarkable announcement was ex-
perimentally demonstrated by placing a
sheet of pure lead upon a piece OF pure
gold in warm closet for a few days,
when, 10! the particles Of gold actually
made an excursion into the lead and
Travelled to its upper surface, where
they were detected. Several years ago,
long before these recent observations
had been recorded a Philadelphia scien-
fist wrote an article. entitled Does Gold
Crow In which IL appeared that a pro-
lessor of metallurgy at the ancient Uni-
Versity Of Heidelberg, In overhauling an
old cabinet OF minerals which had re-
mained undisturbed In a vault for al
most century, found that some gold
specimens contained in little phlals were
larger than the mouths or necks Of the
bottles, 80 that they could not be shaken
out This seemed curious and led 10 a
careful Investigation. A list of the speci-
mems was found subsequently IN the
hdhiltt anu the weight Oh thtu BOld mug
get was therein given. When these
specimens were reweighed each one had
gained In weight about hundredtn part
over the original recorded weight In
the same cabinet other minerals were
found with their weight duly recorded.
These, when reweighed, tailed closely
with the original weights, and the pro-
fessor was finally convinced that there
had been an accreton or growth of
gold' slowly going on In the dark cabinet
which amounted approximately 10 an in
creased Of about a hundredth part in a
hundred years. This article was writ
ten for the private ediication of a scien-
ufic association and was never published.
II was based upon a purely hypothetical
case; but IL would be a curious though
not impossible coincidence should some
modern investigator seriously announce
at some future day that he had dlscov-
cred that gold Is a growth, like a plant,
and capable Of multiplying itself.

The recently forwarded plan OF Ed G.
Little, who IS private secretary TO Gov.
Leedy OF Kansas, to slice half a mile of
the western edge of Missouri and paste
IL onto Kansas with aid of a government
resurVey has resurrected an interesting
bit Of ancient history of the time when
Kansas city was so anxious to get into
Kansas that she wanted just seven times
as big a change made as Mr.. Little asks.
IL is Mr.. Little's contention that the d.
viding line Of the two states was drawn
from the Missouri river north of Kansas
city and thence straight south. Since the
original survey was made Of the line the
river north Of Kansas City has so shifted
its course that land formerly half a mile
east Of the river Is now in the bottom
OF Il and the river bed half a mile west
has been made into farm land. Mr.. Little
holds that the line should have shifted
with the river and Is now IN Washington

A resolution was passed by the city

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
When Mr.. Hendricks was governor Of
Indiana he was frequently visited by a
wealthy old farmer Of Union county
named John Allen, endearngly called
uncle The governor and Uncle John
became fast friends, and the latter would
have laid down half of his large fortune
to promote the political interests OF the
man whom he regarded as the ab'est eX-
ponent Of the principles of the party TO
which both belonged. 1t happened that
prior 10 his first nomination for Vice
President on the ticket with Mr.. Tilden
of New York Mr.. Hendricks was called 20
New Orleans on campaign work. Uncle
John had proceeded him there with a
friend on pleasure trip, but the first in
timation he had of the governors pres
ence in the city was through the local
papers, which announced that on the fol-
lowing evening a big public reception
would be rendered 10 the distinguished
InGianian in the st. Charles hotel.
Uncle John was very happy and re-
solved TO surprise his great friend by APP
pearing at the reception without letting
him know that he was in town. Remem-
bering the cordially with which MIR. Hen
bricks had always greeted him on every
occasion at Indianapolis, he anticipated
with much pleasure the repetition of the
familiar handshake and endearing eX-
pressions that had so delighted him at the
Hoosler capital
Just before the hour for the reception
Uncle John brushed up his old silk hat
had an extra polish put on his shoes, and
with his companion entered the corridor
of the hotel, while the governor was In
formally addressing a delegation of WISH
tors who had called to pay their respects
This gave Uncle John the opportunity he
longed for, and he mingled with the crowd
and gradually worked his way up to the
spot where the governor was standing,
until they stood face to face. To Uncle
Johns amazement there was no look of
recognition from Mr. Hendricks, who pro-
ceeded with his remarks and when he
had finished turned MS back and walked
away with friends. This act drove the
iron into Uncle Johns soul Hendricks
was dethroned as his political idol.
He nursed his wrath and vowed ven

was not long delayed. The next year Til
