IN JAIL FOR DEBT.
A Debtors Prison Where immortality
Reigned supreme.

| The Kings Bench was the largest OF
all the debtors prisons. 1t formerly
stood on the east side of the High
street, on the site Of what is now the
second street north of st. Georges
Church, London. This prison was
taken down in 1883, and the debtors
were removed to larger and much
more commodious place on the other
side of the street south of Liant street
the site is now marked by number OF
| new and very ugly houses and mean
streets. In the year 1776 the prisoners
had to lie two in bed. and even for
those who could ray there were not
beds enough, and many slept on the
floor of the chapel. There were 395
prisoners; in addition to the prisoners
many of them had wives and children
with them There were 279 wives and
275 children-a total of 1893 sleeping
every night in the prison. There was
good water supply, but there was no
infirmary, no resident surgeon, and no
bath. Imagine place containing 1893
persons, and no bath and no infirmary'
Among these prisoners, about a hum
dred years ago. was a certain Colonel
George Hanger, who has left his Me-
moirs" behind him for the editication
of posterity. According to him the
prison ''rivaled the purlieus of Wap-
ping, st. Giles, and st. James in vice,
debauchery and drunkenness. The
general immortality was so great that it
was only possible. he says. to escape
contagion by living separate. or by
consorting only w.,h the few gentle
men of honor who might be found
there. otherwise man will quickly
| sink into dissipation: he will lose every
sense of honor and dignity every moral
| principal and virtrous disposition"

The Flying Fox.

The flying fox is very curious in
habitant of the forests near Moreton
Bay in East Australia. 1t lives in flocks
and moves generally toward the dusk
of the evening, and the noise produced
by the heavy Tapping of the so-called
wings is very singular The flocks
like quiet places, where there are large
Araucarian pine trees, with an under
wood Of scrub and creepers. The
foxes hang in vast numbers from the
horizontal branches of the pine trees
When there is a clear space among
the trees, an enormous number of the
animals may be SEEN and their noise
can be heard, for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter short bark
something like the sound made by
young rocks. Often every branch is
crowded and the flying foxes are seen
either Tapping their wings and hold
ing on with their hind feet, and with
their head downward, or snarling and
fighting for places.
Suddenly the whole take to flight and
flap their furry wing-like sides and
wheel around like heavy birds. Many
fly with their young holding on to
them.
The creature is not true fox and
there is fold of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs. This is
called the wing and ii enables the
pteropus, as the animal is called. to
float and turn in the air.

Stun and Capture Them.
In his native home the polar beal
does not often meet with small boyi
anxious to treat him to buns and othel
dainties. The consequence is tha'
Bruin has to devise many curious way:
of securing his food, and none are NOR,
strange and interesting than that re
lated by two trustworthy travellers il
Greenland, that country of strangt
sights
They have known the polar bear tt
take stone or huge lump of ice II
his fore paws and from favorable
height, as a cliff or a precipitous ic'
hill, to hurl the missile down upon the
head of walrus-an enormous brute
often twice the size of the bear-and Sc
stun him that Bruin could rush in ane
complete the destruction at his leisure
thus securing a months rations.
The most useful food of the ice bear
as the Germans very appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal OF the
arctic regions. The latter is the wari'
est animal of the north, and both Es'
kimo and polar bear need their bes'
strategy to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow
is off the ice of the ocean shore ant
islets, the seals can be plainly seen as
black dots on the ice, probably asleep
but always near their holes, which leae
down through the thick ice to the
water below, and into which they car
throw themselves by the least move
ment. Bruin, seeing one afar, walk.
up as near as he deems safe, and ther
begins crawling Oh his wary prey.
The seal, if the weather be sunny
and pleasant, takes short maps, relieved
by shorter moments when it is scan
ming the vicinity for signs of the enc.
mys approach. During these times
the bear is very quiet and as still as
death itself, with eyes apparently
closed, though really corner of each
is kept open, and IL this way he hopes
the seal will take him for heap OF
snow, an appearance which his coat
readily helps him 10 assume.
During the maps he creeps forward
with greater or less rapidity, according
to his nearness to the seal and coEse-
quent fear of being seen or heard
When but ten or twelve yards away
and the seal is in the depths of good
nap, the bear rusAes upon him. and
with single blow Of his powerful paw

so far away from iAe hole that he can

blow received is no. Immediately fatal
In winter time the ice is covered
with snow, and tn.s is followed out
by the seal into q snow house, cover
ing the hole in the ice and connecting
at the top of the doue with an aperture
about the size of { shilling. called the
blow hole, for it IL through this that
the seal breathes y'hen he is in want
of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many a
long hour, if necessary, and when the
snorts of the seal are heard he crushes
in the fragile DOM of the snow house
with his paw; impe ling the seal on his
curved claws. and proceeds to practi-
cally demonstrate how polar bears can
subsist in an arctic winter.

HOW NUGGETS GROW.
A Chemist Shows That Gold Exists in
Soluble Form.

Soluble Form.
1t is generally supposed that the mug
gets which are found in the river gray
els of Klondike and other auriferous
regions have been brought down by the
rivers direct from the reefs in which
the gold originally lay.
Many practical miners and scientific
men, however, have long been of opin.
ion that this cannot be the case, for nc
masses of gold of so large 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 as crystal of salt will
grow in a strong brine; but with sc
insoluble a substance as gold it /, was
growth could take place. Experiments
carried out in Australia have shown
that decaying vegetable matter will
cause the deposition of gold from solu-
tions OF gold salts, but these salts are
not known to occur in reefs.
The mystery is now solved. A Sla-
vonic chemist named Zzigmedy has
Just shown that gold itself can exist in
soluble FORM By acting on a Slightly
alkaline solution of gold salt with
formaldehyde and submitting the prod
uct to dialysis, he has succeeded in OBJ
tanning gold in colloidal condition, in
which state it is soluble in water and
may be precipitated by the addition Of
common salt.
1t is probable that some of the gold
in quartz feefs 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 a large nugget may in this
way be formed.

BURNT WOOD ORNAMENTS.
Tho Manner In Which to Decorate With

The decoration of wood by the appli-

ginning the work, the point should not
be heated in any flame but that of an

be liable to smoke and ruin the point
In burning outlines remember that to
make broad, firm line it is not neces-
sary to press. The lines are to be
scorched, not incised. The point is
held and guided much in the same
manner as drawing pencil, but some
little practice is needed to enable the
worker to pass it smoothly and readily
over the wood, the tendency of all be-
glnners being to allow 1t to rest and
make dots. No encouragement, how
ever. must be felt at this, as with a
little practice the manipulation will be-
come easy. and the worker be able to
