The ingenuity that has been ex-
hibited Of late years in the discovery
and application of explosives for min
ing purposes has really been remark
able, and not less so has been the
growth Of the trade in explosives dur
ing the period of twenty years since
the English act of 1876 came into
operation, says the Trade Journals

of factories more than doubled, but
the number of persons employed in

an increase Of nearly 5000 even during

An SIS Nusr., In the Corn.

western corn. While he was grinding
it he noticed that something was wrong
with the heavy rollers. He stopped
the machinery and found nugget
that looked just liSe gold. 1t had
come through the hopper with the
corn. He took the nugget to a local
ieweler, who unhesitatingly pro-
nounced it TO be native gold. II

keep il as curiosity. Where the

During her first term in the White

always accessible to newspaper cor
respondents aud was the source of a
great deal OF valuable information
concerning official and social affairs.

fond of her and appreciated her sym

Guaranteed TOYS,

"Did you ever hear of quarantined
toys?" asked the toy dealer of cus-
toner. Some mother probably or
iginated the idea. 1t isn't profitable
arrangement for dealers, because one
set of toys can be made to serve a
neighborhood. When not in use they
are quarantined.
cts like this" continued the
dealer, taking up an iron house, with
a mechanical postman delivering the
mail, "a child is taken i'll in a neigh
borhood with scarlet fever and the
house and family are at once isolated.
The neighbors have great sympathy
for the child smother and they scheme
together to send something that will
help to amuse the little one when it is
getting better. As you see, the toys
are of iron, and are passed along with
the request that each time they are
used they shall be put into an oven
and baked before they are returned.

Watch Canned Goods.

When a can is bulged, says The
Public Health Journal, the contents
should not be used, as the condition
of the tin shows that air has reached
the inside and decomposition has set
in, which has caused gases to be gen.
Grated. The gases thus formed have
forced the tiE to bulge. Cases OF
poisoning through eating canned fruit
and meats are no common that the
above method Of detecting poisonous
canned foods should be specially
valuable to housekeepers.

A GREEN GREENLAND.
Striking Evidences OF n Former Luxuri'
ant Tropical Growth.

Two eminent scientists connected
with the Smithsonian institution here
at Washington, who accompanied the
Pearv expedition to the Polar regions,
but who were bent on business Of their
own. have Just returned from the
wilds of West Greenland, bringing
with them very valuable specimens for
the National Museum. In region OF
everlasting ice and snow Professor
David White and Professor Schuchert
have been exploring luxuriant tropical
forests, beautiful specimens OF which
make up the chief partof their collec-
ton. Fossils of the tulip tree, the
poplar, the magnolia, the willow, the
eucalyptus, the palm, and the curious
tropical dwarf called "cycad' all
these and many more are among the
remains of an ancient age-when
Greenland was in truth "a green
land" that have now been discovered
by these scientists and their party.
Greenland was once upon time a
tropical country, That is proved alb
solutely by the remains Of an extern
sive tropical fora. Where now a
sheet Of solid ice over mile thick COW
ers mountain and valley, and mighty
frozen rivers called glaciers make their
way to the sea, and hatch icebergs,
there was in earlier days, a verdure-
clad wilderness of luxuriant vegeta.
ton. But all this disappeared from
the face Of the earth several millions
OF years ago, and only their fossil re.
mains are found buried in the strata
OF the rocks.
The finding of the oldest hardwood
plant in the world was perhaps the
most interesting discovery of the ex-
petition. 1t was species Of poplar, and
the tree grew during the epoch already
described.-that is to say, in all probable
ity, not less than 5000, 900 years ago.
Apparently at that time the climate Of
Greenland was much like that of our
Gulf states today. All the evidences
seem to point to the conclusion that
climates all over the world in that an
cient period were pretty much the
same. The same plants grew contem-
poraneously in Greenland and in Cal
ifornia, in Spitzbergen and in Virginia.
There was q uniformity of vegetation
in all parts Of the earth. Nobody can
say just why this was, though several
theories have been advanced to ac-
count for it. One theory is that the
atmosphere in those days was heavily
charged with watery vapor, so that
warmth was readily distributed
through it, and the suns rays did not
have a chance to strike the earth di-
rectly, making differences in climate
by the degree of their slant. In the
course of time the atmosphere thinned
gradually, and then came climatic va
riations marking a series of zones
around the arth.-Washington Path.

man knows to be true. The state

The Elkhorn Independent tersely
remarks, concerning the senatorial
contest, that "tEe people desire Mr..
Quarles' election and will not submit
quietly if he is defeated" The term,
@*the people," is broad one and
means much We think, however,
The Independent refers to the people
of its immed1atelocality, rather than
to those of the entire state. There is
NO doubt but that r.Quarles is an al
most universal favoritei in Southeast
,ern Wisconsin, but other portions Of
the state have their favorites, too. We
may here state that he perhaps has
more followers in this section also
than any of the other candidates,
sand every indication is that he goes
E7nto the contest with bright pros
ipects Of winning out. His available
5ty, his splendid equipment for the
position, his nearness to the people
on many of the momentous questions
of the day, are strong factors that
Doint to his success. But his enthus-
7astic supporters should not be so
arbitrary as to insinuate that the
entire people demand his election as
United States senator, for they do
not. It must not be forgotten that
Messrs. Stephenson, Babcock, Cook
and Webb also have their admirers.
