A RICH QUARTZ FIND.
A Small Fortune Found Imbedded
 in an Alaskan Beach.

A marvellous story concerning the richness of the free gold quartz mining district of southeastern Alaska is told, and its truth vouched for by F. E. Gin gras, a well known mining man, who has just returned from the north. Short ly before Mir. Gingras left Helm bay for Seattle a couple fprospectors wand- ering along the beach between the mouth of the bay and Port Stewart stumbled upon d piece of 'lloat' quartz half-imbedded in the sand between high and low tide. They stopped to examine it, and to their astonishmcnt and joy as well discovered that the piece of rock, weighing between scventy-tve and one hundred pounds, was almost mass of gold. They carried it to their cabin, and crushing it up obtained $2, 1000 in virgin gold. The most thorough search of the shore in the viciuity of the place where the float was found failed to dis cover any other float of the same kind, or any vein from which the ore could have come. Mir. Gingras is of the opinion that the piece of quastz was dropped on the beach by a melting ice foe. The streams of that district, he says, freeze almost solid in the winter, and upon breaking up Tn the spring car ry out to sea large cakes of ice, to which dirt and spcks from the stream bed often adhere, until deposited by the melting of the ice. It would be a very hard matter, he thinks, to locate the vein from which the quartz came Pieces of quartz showing gold to the naked eye, he stated, are frequently picked up on the beach near Helm Bay
 Mir. Gingras is superintendent of the Gold Standard group of mines in Helm Bay, owned by Capt. C. F. Dyer and Capt T. F. Johnson, of Seattle, and now being opened under Mir. Gingras' $ direction. The Gold Standard is one of the richest groups in Alaska, some of the ore being fairly studded with free gold and paying handsome returns with llldCllHeIN Ol tue CfuutSU uCScflpUlOH. A cross-cut is being run into the side of the mountain beneath the outcrop of the veins, and in the spring small modern stamp mill will probably be erected on the property.
 A large vein of free gold quartz. Mir. Gingras says. has been discovered near Loring by Capt. Wyman, of the steam schooner Sealight. It is forty feet wide and assays from $8 to $l0 ton. Considerable winter work is being done ia the Helm bay district accord ing to Mr. Gingras.
 Capt. Dyer, who is at present in Se- attle, said yesterday that he expected large shipment of gold from his mines upon the return of the steamer Elihu Thompson from Helm bay, where she went with supplies for Capt. Dyer's work men.

THE TORTOISE
knows When It Is Going to Rain and
Makes for Shelter.

Makes for Shelter.
The tortise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to be
afraid Of rain, but it is singularly so.
TWenty-four hours or more before rain
falls the Galapagos tortoise makes for
some convenient shelter. On bright,
clear morning, when not cloud is to
be seen, the denizens of tortoise farm
on the African coast may sometimes be
seen heading for the nearest overhang-
ing rocks. When that happens the pro-
prletor knows that rain will come down
during the day, and as a rule it comes
down in torrents. The sign never fails.
This presentation, or whatever you
may call it, which exists in many birds
and beasts may be explained partly
from the increasing weight of the at
mosphere when rain is forming, partly
by habits of living and partly from the
need of moisture which is shared by
all. If we want to find a country where
nature has turned things topsy-turvy-
that is, according to our notion-we
must go to Australia. Many things are
reversed in that country. 1t is sum-
mer there while it is winter in Amer
lea. Trees shed their bark instead of
their leaves; fruit has the stone or
kernel outside; swans are black; there
is species of fly that kills and eats
the spider, and fish,, called the climb
ing perch, that walks deliberately out
of the water and, with the aid of it's
fins, climbs the adjacent trees after the
insects that infest them.

PHOTOGRAPHS
By a New Process Made as Quickly as
Photographs.

By New Process Made as Quickly as
Photographs.
Heretofore it has not been possible
to make a radiograph as quickly as a
photograph. Ordinarily from one to
three minutes are required to make a
satisfactory radiograph of hand. Mr..
E. w. Caldwell, however, has brought
the achievements of the X-ray pretty
close to those of white light. In the
New York Electrical Review he pub
fishes two reproductions of radio
graphs; one made in one-five-thou-
sandth Of second, the other in six
teen-thirty-fourths of a second; the
latter is strong and brilliant. These
pictures were made without any new or
unusual method, but it was, of course,
necessary to use very efficient tubes
and exciting apparatus, and to develop
the negative with care. The exciting
apparatus consisted of good, oil-in-
sulated induction coil, giving a four
teen-inch spark, and liquid inter-
rupter making thirty-four breaks per
second. Current from the Edison
mains at III volts was used The neg
atives were made on cellulofd films laid
face down upon calcium tungstate
screen. AS celluloid offers much less
resistance to X-rays than glass, the
film so arranged utilized the fuorescent
screen to the greatest advantage.

play over passages which he thought
he was likely to play inaccurately at

berg was at the height of his fame
he wouldn't even carry an umbrella
for fear of it cramping the muscles Of
his hand; Malibran loved nothing so
much as romping with Mocheles' chill

stingy that he would stand up under

mere suggestion of my fathers DEATH
In a certain way he had his wish,
though the pattern of his grave was diff
ferent, and his coffin more spacious
one than was meant in his expression.
He died when was years of, age.
On dark night, during sudden and
raging storm, while helping to reef the
maintopgallant sail, he lost his hold,
and slipped into the grave of the At
lantic. AS the wild waves received and
closed over him, plotting him out Of
the world forever and ever, perhaps a
vision came upon him of his wife and
child in their little cottage at Brixton.
frightened by the mementos of his
love; and perhaps, in the midst of his
brief agony, it brought a spark of COM
fort to him.
I was a sailor before my fathers
death, and the manner of his death did
not brighten me. 1t was a proper
sailors death, thought in my childish
way, and I was proud of my father for
dying it, and proud of myself for being
such a sailors son. Sometimes of a
night, when I was abed, I would put a
she'll to my ear, and, with my eyes
closed, would see my father floating
down to the bottom of the sea, where
he would lie with CHEEKY and smiling
face, among beautiful sea-weed and
coral and shells of pearl I never in
these fancies saw him with any but
cheerful and smiling face. Really, I
had been sailor in my heart from my
cradle upward. do not know whether
this came from innate love or from edu-
cation; but I do, know that, whether
l was bred or born to it, 1 loved the
sea with deep and passionate love.
Never have I forgotten the first time
l saw it. It stretched before me calm
and vast, and over the water line in
the distance lay the wonders which I
should one day see. They were hidden
from me now, but the time would
come. I was silent from joy. That is
the world, thought my world, in
which shall live and be sailor, like
my father. regarded the land as Of
the very smallest consequence; it oc-
cupied but an insignificant position in

Preserving Eees.

Prof. Ladd, of North Dakota College
or Agriculture, in bulletin No. IS, gives
the following directions for the use Of
water glass in keeping eggs. Water
glass is silicate of soda or silicate OF
potash, the former being cheaper. It
Is not expensive.
II wooden kegs or barrels are to be
used In which to pack the eggs, they
should first be thoroughly scalded with
boiling water to sweeten and nurifv
them.
10 each ten quarts Of water, which
should first be boiled and then cooled,
add one quart Of water glass. Pack
the eggs in the vessel and pour solu-
ton over them, covering well.
Keep the eggs in a cool, dark place.
A dry, cool cellar is a good place.
II the eggs are kept in too warm a
place the silicate is deposited and the
eggs are not properly protected. Do
not wash the eggs before packing, fol-
by so doing you injure their keeping
quality.
For packing use only perfectly fresh
eggs, for stale eggs will not be saved
and may prove harmful to others.
All packed eggs contain a little gas
and in boiling such eggs they will
crack. This may be prevented by
making pin hole in the blunt end OF
the egg. To do this hold the egg in
the hand, place the point of a pin
against the shell of the egg at the blunt
end, and give the pin quick, sharp
blow, just enough to drive the pin
through the shell without further in
ilrv tn the egg

Origin Of the nferinna.

The real origin of the Spanish Meri-
nos is lostein the dim past. For more
than 1000 years the Spanish shepherds
nave been raising this kind Of sheep,
and without doubt have, in the lapse
OF centuries, greatly modified them, az
the Imaginary standard of each CEN
fury might seem to demand. Certain
IT IS that the Spanish succeeded in pro-
ouclng a fine type Of wool-producing
sheep. So much was this the case that
the tame Of these sheep spread all over
the world and led other nations to
desire to introduce them into their own
pastures. About 1865 about 300 of
these sheep were introduced into Sax
ony. There, under royal protection,
tney were cared for and developed
along the lines of fne-wooled sheep.
Since that time these Saxon Merinos
have undergone considerable change,
so much so that now they produce a
fleece finer than did the original i'm
portations, and the sheep themselves
nave been rendered too tender to do
we'll In the colder portions of the
United States. In 1885 about 800 Meri-
nos were imported into France from
spain. There, too, they received royal
protection and good care, and their
original characteristics were soon
changed. They are the originals Of
what are now called the French Meri-
nos.
The importation of Spanish Merinos
into the United States began in the
early part of the present century.
During the first twelve years more
than 10000 of them were brought into
this country and distributed mostly
throughout the New England states,
out also to-. some extent among the
more southerly seaboard states. Con-
corning them F. D. Coburn says:
"A large proportion of the Merino
aocks of the United States, descend
ants from the importations from
Spain, were subsequently inbred with
the Saxon and French varieties, until
many of the characteristics of these
were engrafted upon the American
focks. Through the exceptions to this
rule, however, a sufficient number of
hocks have been found tracing with
reasonable proof of purity direct to
their Spanish ancestry to warrant the
claim that the present highest type Of
American Merino is the direct de-
scendant, without admixture of other
blood, of animals included in some OF
the several importations from Spain
before the year 1912. The French
Merlnos have perhaps larger carcass
than the average American, and the
French breeders we're the first to pro-
duce a Merino cembing wool. The
Saxon Merinos have been but sparingly
introduced into this country, the
course of breeding in Saxony Zine
ness of fleece being the one object
sought having rendered them too ten
DER for our methods of sheep hus-
bandry."
