How Gold Nuggets Grow.

1t is generally supposed that the mug.
gets which are found In the river gravels
of klondike and other auriferous regions
have been brought down by the rivers di
rect from the reefs In which the gold ORIG
inally lay.
Many practical miners and scientific
men, however have long been of opinion
that this cannot be the case, for no masses
of gold of so large u size were ever found
In the reefs themselves. They believe, on
the other hand, that the nuggets have
grown where they are now found, Just ms
crystal Of salt will grow in a strong
brine, but with go insolublc substance
as gold 1t was difficult to understand how
such growth could take place Expert
ments carried out In Australia have shown
that decaying vegetable matter will cause
the deposition of gold from solutions of
gold salts, but these salts are not known
to occur In reefs.
The mystery is now solved A Slavonio
chemist named Zzigmody has just shown
that gold itself can exist in soluble form
By acting on slightly alkaline solution
Of gold salt with formaldehyde and sub
hitting the product to dialysis he has sue
Cceded In obtaining gold In u colloidal
condition, in which state Ii Is soluble in
water and may be precipitated by the ad-
dition of common salt.
1t is probable that some Of the gold In
quartz reefs exists in this condition 1t is
washed out by the rain, carried away in
solution by the rivers and deposited in the
river gravels wherever there is anything
containing salt to cause its precipitation
In the course of ages large nugget may
in this way be formed London Mail.

BeEEara Acf'ng MOIiere,

A good story comes from Paris about q
descent made by the police on u crowd of
yagabonds who had taken refuge in enc Of
the quarries connected with the works Of
the new Alexander Ill Bridge over the
Seine. They came upon curious sight.
BY the light of two candles stuck into
empty bottles, which represented the foot.
lights Of very roughly improvised stage.
the company of vagabonds were playing
the "Misanthrope" of Molero to an ap-
preciative audience of the usual type of
vagabOnds to be found in such quarters
The leader of the troupe had once been a
director Of u theater in the provinces, but
he had become bankrupt and fallen so low
in tho social scale that he had become
yagabond himself The dram ntIc instinct.
however, was so strong that be bad form
ed trouno among his companions The
leading lady had once been u star IN q
minor theater in Paris and that was some
80 years ago The part of the lnsenus
was taken by young scoundrel who

The play was in full swing when the pc
lice descended and swept Off the major
portion Of the company and audience to

the director seemed to be that ne had not

Kew the Meaning Of Some Common
words Has DssA Changed.
Hro6saser whitney ssys thers has bssn
len stsuctusal modification Of the Englhsh
: iansuaeo In ths second half Of the mise.
tesnth osntusy than In any other 30 year
period OF III existence. The vocabulary
skeleton Of our speech has been only It,
Ito developed. II Ia with the vocabulary
that Brandar Matthews deals in his essay.
HeQuotes Professor Lounsberry's remark:
Tho purest Of speakers use every day
with perfect propriety words and forms
which, looked at from the point Of view Of
the past, are improper, II not scandalous.
This Is fitting preface to discussion Of
the changes in the vocabulary taking place
at the present time, some Of which are
noted by Mr.. Matthews in these words:
Once upon time to "aggravate'' meant
70 increase an offense Now 1t Is often
used AZ though 1t meant to irritate. For
merly Calculate" as In the sentence "It
was calculated to do harm, implied de-
llberate intention to injure Now the idea
Of intention has been eliminated, and tho
sentence is held to DO roughly equivalent
to ut Is likely to do harm" verbal
is slowly getting itself accepted as synony.
nous with "oral, !" in antithesis to writ
ten" "Lurid" Is really "pale, swan" =,
"yhastly," but how often Of late has 1t
been employed as though 1t signiAed rod
or ruddy or bloodyP
These words are speclvens of the long
list which is used by thSignorant or un.
thinking, incorrectly, but which careful
writer's use according to their proper sig
niflcance The Tutor protests against the
carelessness which says ''aggravate" for
"exasperate" or "irritate, for example,
and pleads against recognizing such inac.
ouracies of speech as legitimate changes
In the vocabulary.
Another word mentioned by Professor
Matthews Is ''unique." Says he: "Unique
Is getting to imply merely excellent. or
perhaps only unusual Its exact ctymo.
logical value is departing forever " 1t Is
true that We see In print such expressions
as more unique" and most unique"
as If unique were an adjective capable
Of being compared, but the tutor hopes
that the case is not as bad as Professor
Matthews represents it Unique" 10 a
word of too great value to permit it to lose
Its strict significance 1t comes from the
Latin "unicus." one, only, single. and 1t
means having no like or equal; unDiatch-
ed, sole, unequaled, single In its kind or
excellence. EVERY great man Is u unique.

Pat Neary has looked over the registration

by physicians 1t is probably the most re-
markable remedy that the scientific research
