says Nature. 1t would appear, there
fore, that, like the placers of Siberia
these deposits have remained undis-
turbed and unaltered ever since the
glacial period, and perhaps some such
evidence of this will in course of time
be discovered, as was afforded by the
remains of mamoths and other animals
in the Siberian frozen mud. It is
worthy of note that the comparative
lowness of standard of the gold is, un-
der the existing conditions, in favor of
the view that the placer gold is derived
from the erosion of auriferous quartz
lodes formerly existing at higher lev
ell, and has not been formed in stu
by being deposited from solution. For,
according to those who support the
former view, placer gold becomes of
higher standard than reef gold after
it has found its way into the drifts,
the base metals being gradually re-
moved by the solvent action of running
water, in which gold is not readily
soluble. Since, however, the Klondike
gold has been frozen up during large
part of the time since it was deposited
in the gravel, it is obvious that it can
not have altered in composition so
much has the gold in river sands far

The East Coast of Florida Furnishes
Study For the Scientist.
TO the geologist the east coast OF
Florida is one of the most interesting
portions of the earth's surface. In the
eyes OF science it was but yesterday
when the surf beat on what is now the
western shore of the St. Johns. To
the eastward of this line the corals
built long bar; gradually this caught
the earth washed from the shore and
on this plants grew and then trees.
This made of the st. Johns exactly
what Indian river is now, a long salt
water lagoon. AS the coast widened
ana the coral worked the lagoon filled
IN as indian river is doing, and drain
age from both sides made it fresh.
Still the coral is at work, and again a
long bar stretches southwark almost
continuous now from Cape Canaveral
to Key West. When all the inlets on
Indian river are closed but one it will
soon become a fresh water stream and
NIL IN with the remaining inlet for
the mouth of a river. Then the space
between the shore and the coral reef
will be another lagoon and another
strip of habitable land will arise out
or the ocean. The accumulation of al
luvial soil in the valley of the upper
st. Johns is full of the bones of marine
monsters and shell fishes-the sub
stratum of clay is still distinctly salt.
Are there monsters yet alive in the
great marsh? There are tales that
would go to prove it. In that tract of
eightytwo miles in length, sometimes
fifteen in breadth, without forest
growth, still mixture of earth and
water-a wilderness of plants and
grasses-there is room for many
strange forms of life that man may
never see in our generation.
