 A derrick was built in the bay sev- eral hundred yards from the shore. Leading out to IL was q long bridge. Out here the experiments were per formed. The men of money were in vited. and came, bringing with them q supply of quicksilver, at the request of the minister. This was placed in q lead-lined box. The box was lowered and an elctric current passed through the quicksilver, the result being that the precious metal was extracted from the sea water. After certain time the box was raised and its contents turned over to an assayer, who reported that the return of gold was not only pure, but that the deposit was very heavy. The money men were pleased. and Mir. Jernegan might have any reasonable amount to establish plant He got several thousand on the strength of the experiment. but the plant came slowly. One excuse after another was invented and the men of capital grew suspicious. He found out there was danger, so he packed his grip and sailed for France. The scheme was certainly q unique one. What really happened while the box was under water was this: A diver went down at some point near by and, unknown to the capital ists, put In whatever gold was in the box when 1t came up.

Good Roads AHs Easllg Maintained.
 ''Ihe great secret of success in road making and bookkeeping is to drain the roads. and keep The roads drained v keeping the ditehes open" writes John Gilmei Speed on How to Have Cool County Roa1s, D In the August Lalies' Home Journal ''The old method was to run blow through tho aide ditches and throw the disturbed soil, sod and all. in the middle of the road There It would stay till a heavy rain came to wash tbis soil back into. the ditches and i'll them up again. Ii there were money enough this kind of thing would be done over and over again, as often as four times in year. Where there was wet spots broken stones or gravel would be placed in tbe road and left for the passing wagons to wear this metal into ruts. The money spent was absolutely thrown away.
 By the new process all the road mender needs to do is to provide ditches and outlets for them, and then to shape the road that the water falling in a IainstoIm will run of at once into the ditches. The water must not be suffered to run in the road, but of the road. The rainfall. being thus simply and effectively disposed of, becomes a most beneficial instead of destructive agent; it cleans, and shapes, and hard ems the roadway, instead of washing it away and deepening the ruts. When there are wet places, such as springs, in the roadway, gravel and broken stones will not cure such things. The water must be drained of underneath the roadway and into the ditches by means of pipe or blind drains. The whole thing is so simple that any one can easily master the principles and put the details into practical opera tion."

Tulips and dandelions close up before rain. If it rains when the sun shines it will rain the next day. A piece of sea- weed hung up will become damp pre- vious to rain. When the walls are more than usually damp rain may be expected. Unusual clearness in the atmosphere, objects being seen very distinctly, indicates rain. When the sun appears of light, pale color, or goes down in a bank of clouds II indi- cates the approach or continuance of bad weather.
