Natures Silver Works.

Tho process by which nature forms
such accumulations of silver is very
interesting.
It must be remembered that tho
earth's crust is full of water, which
percolates everywhere through the
rocks, making solutions of elements OBJ
tanned from them. These chemical solu-
tions take up small particles of the pre-
cious metal which they find scattered
here and there.
Sometimes the solutions in question
are hot, the water having got SO far
down as to DO set boiling by the inter-
nal heat Of the globe. Then they rush
upward, picking up the bits Of metal
as they go. Naturally heat assists the
performance of this operation. Now
and then the streams thus formed, per-
petually flowing hither and thither be-
low ground, pass through the cracks or
cavities in the rocks, where they depos.
it their loads'of silver.
This is kept up for a great length CT
time, perhaps thousands Of years, until
the assures of the pocket are filed up.
Crannies %permeating the stony mass in
every direction may become filled with
the metal, or occasionally a chamber
may be stored full Of it, as if u myriad
hands were fetching the treasure from
all sides and hiding away a future bo-
nanza for some lucky prospector to dis
cover.-Pearson's Weekly.

Russia.

kNu8Bl6s
The lack Of m%achinclike discipline in
tho Russian soldiery is truly Asiatic,
and SO are the stagnation, patience, suf-
fering and squalor of the people. lii
Russia they are drunken, instead Of be-
ing gamblers and opium smokers as i'll
China. The absence of q middle class
and the gulf that takes it's place are
Asiatic conditions. In Russia no man
except amember of the cabinet or dip
lomat dares to discuss politics.
In other Asiatic countries tho people
are not forbidden to discuss them, be-
cause they have never shown any in
clination to do SO. No more do the 49,
600, 900 muzhiks Of Russia. Their intel
lectual activity never goes beyond the
affairs of village, family, farm or em-
ployment. Their most active interest is
in religion, but they make of that such
q mere tissue of forms and mechanical
or automatic practices that it is carried
on without any more mental effort than
the activity of a victim of st. vitus'
dance.
Tho leavsn of progress is not i'll the
muzhik any more than it is in the
cody. If Russia's system Of govern
ment is to be threatened or altered, it
must be by tho 10, 600, 900 who reflect
the European ideals in their dress and
manners and who present fertile ground
for the propagation Of European re-
forms. Russia's danger is from the top;
the bottom is sodden.--Julian Ralph i'll

The Ts,,es. Landmark In the World.

Vhe VssllesJ Landmark In the World.
The most important island in the Ca
nary group is Tenerife, whose famous
mountain is known to navigators as one
Of the most imposing landmarks in the
world. The mountain rises IL, 1879 feet
above the sea, the peak having 1le form
Of q sugar loaf. Considering the fact
that the island is itself a mountain.
springing almost perpendicularly from
the ocean, the bottom Of which is six
miles below, Tenerife is the loftiest
peak in the world. Beside it Mont
Blanc is a pygmy. Cotopaxi, Kinchin-
iunga and Mount Everest dwindle by
comparison. While all the islands are
volcanic and all contain evidences Of
very recent action, Tenerife is the only
M which still continues in eruption.
The summit Of the mountain is q cir
cular wall. inclosing a crater a mile in
diameter and over 100 feet in depth.
From the otIing, and even from the sea-
shore, the sides of Tenerife seem as
though carved by hand, but the inn
mense size Of the mountain is in pro-
portion to this crater, although it seems
incredible to the locker on that ut the
mountain top there should be one Of the
largest craters i'll the world. The great
crater Of Tencrife has been quiescent
ever since the island was r~ediscovered
by Europeans early in the fifteenth CEN
fury, but in scores of places on the
mountain side there are smaller craters
which continually emit sulphurous
stealns and gases and occasionally throw
out small quantities Of lava.-St. Louis

POWER IN OUR POWDER.

the powder mill superintendent, "are

fired under service conditions in the gun

velocity required varies from 2,000 to

is not allowed to exceed 10 tons to the

present day the amount Of energy stored
up in the powder charge is so tremen-

not be estimated, so vast are the posi-
