THE GOSSIPER
XS~S

The days OF lovers quarrels are not
| over yet, as was proved only few days
| ago when a man overheard a couple
lquarreling just around the corner from
him. He was of course bent on bust
ness but could not resist the temptation
part of the quarrel before making his
appearance 80 as to break 1t up. The
young fellow accused the girl of going
with some one else, which she positi-
vely denied. She then threatened to
slap him but said she was afraid he
would slap her back. OF course after
the other man had listened to heir
foolishness for a time he suddenly
made his appearance around the corner
and this had the effect of putting a
stop to the affair and I suppose they
are now as good friends as ever. All
of which will go to show that the old
sdage 1.-THE course of true love never
runs smooth" is true even to the pre-
sent day.
The song service critics were gather
ed in their usual places last Sunday
night and these are some of the re-
marks that were overheard. One
young lady said. "Do you think she can
sing?" the other made answer, mot a
Dit;" another said '1sn't that q horrid
hat? There Is too much on It," One
young man remarked, ST believe that
the bass is just making a bluff but he
was evidently hard of hearing is shat
worthy gentleman was making his me
lodious voice heard well over the o,ild-
ing. "Those fellows that take up The
collection" said one young man al
ways wait until they get up in front and
then make q great dive into their pock-
cts for cash. No one knows the size of
the piece of money but it surely must
be of considerable size from the show
made for it.''

The FlyinH Fox.

The flying fox is very curious in
habitant of the forests near Moreton
Bay in East Australia. 1t lives in fiocks
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 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
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 a fold of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs. This is
called the wing, and it enables the
rtaropuc nc tho animal IA pa1lpd RI
float and turn in the air.

Embraced by q Devilflsh.

A diver engaged in Moyne River In
Australia had terrible experience
with sea-devil. Having fired off
charge Of dynamite and displaced a
large quantity of stones, he went to
the bottom of the river and while en-
gagged in rolling over large stone he
saw something moving about in front
of him. This dark object came In con-
tact with him and coiled about his
arm. The diver walked slowly and
painfully along with the sea-devils
feelers twined about his body and legs.
He made tracks for the ladder and
gained the boat, curious looking OBJ
ject, indeed, with this huge, ugly thing
entangled about his body. With the
help Of the sailors he was in time
freed from his submarine companion.
The body of the octopus was only
about the size Of large soup plate,
with eyes like a sleeps, but possessed
nine arms, each four feet in length,
at the butt as thick as a mans wrist
and tapering off at the END like pen
knife. All along the under part of the
feelers Of this strange sea creature
are suckers every quarter Of an inch,
giving 1t immense power.

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


Soluble Form.
It is generally supposed that the mug
gets which are found in the river grav-
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 no
masses Of gold Of SO large size wero
ever found in the reefs themselves.
They believe, on the other hand, that
the nuggets have grown where they are
now found, just as q crystal Of salt Will
grow in strong brine; but with so
insoluble a substance as gold 1t was
difficult to understand how such
growth could take place. Experiments
carried out in Australia have shown
that decaying vegetable matter will
cause the deposition of gold from solu-
lions 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
a soluble form. BY acting on 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 feels 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.

A Mother Martin Dies and Strange Bird
Is Coaxed to Hatch the Brood.

A Mother Martin Dies and Strange Bird
ID Coaxed to Hatch the Brood.
Under the trellised porch Of cottage
was a martins nest, which was re-
paired every season for at least three
seasons, and from which brood OF
four or five young birds took their
fight year by year. The porch was COW
cred with zinc. and the nest was built
against the wall, close to the angle
formed by the slanting sides Of the
roof.
One morning, before the brood was
Matched, one of the old birds was found
in the porch dead, owing probably to
the unusual heat of the sun shining
upon the zinc covering, which was only
a few inches above the nest. Opposite
the porch and separated from 1t by the
width of the garden walk, was an arch
of wire covered with roses and honey
suckles.
About II o'clock in the morning the
day when the bird had been found
dead, an unusual twittering was heard,
and martin, presumed to be the male
bird, was observed flying in and out OF
the porch onto the arch, and evidently
endeavoring to coax another bird into
his snug quarters.
After while the second martin took
several short flights, and dived under
the porch with her companion, who
twittered and flew around her In
state Of the greatest excitement.
This continued for about half an
hour, until the stranger took possession
Of the nest, where she finally Matched
the brood.
