The Science of
Prospecting.
Mining and Scientific Press.

The question is frequently ask
cd, "why are not scientifically cd
ucated mining engineers the dis
coverers Of more rich mineo!' Brief
ly, the answer is: because they do
not prospect. Undoubtedly men
who have the advantage of Il tech
nical and scientific training in
mineralogy, metallurgy, geology
and engineering are better quail
fed to prospect intelligently than
those who have not had these ad-
yantages, but usually such men
arc otherwise employed and have
little time to prospect, even if SO
disposed.
A technical education without
practical experience does not fit a
man for even such an humble oc-
cupatlon as prospecting. While
a prospector, whose chief reliance
is in his muscle and not in his tech
nical education, may accidentally
stumble upon Il valuable ore depos-
it, he is out looking for mines,
and as all rocks look much the
same TO him it does not concern
him whether he picks up quartz,
limestone or fragment of some
erupliye rock, for either may con,
tain precious metals, and his very
ignorance of the character of the
rock is his safcg gIard. All miners,
whether technically educated or
not, are prone to seach for miner
al deposits, veins, float, &C., sim.
liar to those they are familiar with.

THE THEATER-CHINA

The dresses are magnificent as bewil-
derngly curious as any stage manager
at home ever conceived All the talking
is in strained falsetto, and there is yell
ing and posturing and wailing and con-
fusion. Suddenly the band breaks in
with an awful crash-such a marvellous
band five drums and ten pairs Of Gym
bals--such a deafening smashing and
banging! With hoarse screams dozens
of imps, green-faced and yellow eyed
and horned rush on the stage and gy-
rate and fout banners. and draw up in
lines, and swing partners, and set to
places. An ochre faced, villainous chief
demon, heap Of fantasticalness, twirls
like tee-to-tum, and there is more
banging and jumping and swinging, and
mad pandemonium, and the symbals and
the drums rend the air. 1t Is terrific.

heavings, spinning, flag waving, contor-
toning-it is the accumulated uproars of
the world all pressed into one Chinese

THE BREAD FRUIT TREE.

The bread-fruit tree of iCeylon is very
| remarkable. Its fruit is baked and eat
en- as we eat bread, and is equally good
and nutritious. In Barbutu, South
Amer is tree which by piercing the
trunk produces milk with which the in
habitants feed their children. In the in
terror of Africa is a tree which produces
excellent butter. 1t resembles the
American oak, and its fruit, from which
the butter is prepared. is not unlike the
olive. Park, the great traveller, declared
that the butter surpassed any made In
England from cows milk. At Sierra
Leone Is the cream-fruit tree, the fruit
of which is quite agreeable in taste. At
Table Bay near the Cape of Good Hope,
is small tree the berries of which make
excellent candies. 1t is also found in
the Azores. The vegetable tallow tree
also grows in Sumatra, in Algeria and
In China.
In the Island of Chusan large quanti-
ties of oil and tallow are extracted from
Its fruit, which is gathered in November
or December, when the tree has lost all
its leaves. The bark of tree in China
produces a beautiful soap. Trees of the
sap-indus or soap-berry order also grow
in the north of Africa. They are anna
zingly prolific, and their fruit contains
about thirty-eight per cent. of saponin.-

OPERATION ON AN ELEPHANT.
A Cincinnati Surgeon Who Has $1,000
Pound Patient.

"A CINCINNATI Surgeon Who Has a 10 000-
Pound Patient.
DR.. Kings-Dodds well known Gin
cinnati veterinary surgeon, went to
Peru, Ind, the other morning to per
form one of the most novel operations
on record, the subject being the biggest
elephant in show menagerie, says the
| Cincinnati Times-Star. The elephant
weighs 10000 pounds, is ten feet high,
and the tissue through which the veter-
mary will cut is six inches thick and
of the toughest nature, DR.. Kings
| Dodds has received hundreds of letters
nfrom veterinarians and surgeons who
solicit permission to witness the opera
ton and the management of the show
has received hundreds of letters of a
similar import.
The elephant Is a "man-kiler" and
has killed several circus employees. It's
keepers fear it and are unable to eXer-
else any sort of control over it. 1t is
known to circus people all over the
world as the ''- elephant" and has
the most evil and vicious reputation of

cation of surgeons will come down to

to curb the fierce spirit of the animal.
specially constructed derrick will be
used to facilitate the operation and tons
Of iron cable will be used to restrain the
beast while the operation is being per-
formed, SO that the life of the operating
surgeon and attendants will not be en-
dangered. A previous attempt to per-
form the operation during the winter
was unsuccessful.

Il FINE CONTENTION CITY.

The music teachers convention closed
last evening in blaze of enthusiasm,
and the fire of enthusiasm has been
bright and steady throughout the whole
proceedings. The music teachers have
had good time, and so have many who
are not music teachers. The splendid
fitness of New Haven for a convention
has again been shown. Anybody who
can come to a convention in New Haven
at any time in the year is lucky, but
anybody who can come at this time in
the year Is more than lucky. Our vis-
itors will carry away with them sweet
memories of the spring beauties of New
Haven Green, the rock parks, and the
scenery along the trolley lines in the
suburbs. Never have those beauties
been more striking and satisfying.
What have Hartford, Bridgeport, Meri-
den and Norwich to offer big conven-
tons compared with New Haven? No
wonder the music teachers want to come
here again, and no wonder New Haven
wants to have them come again. They
have been pleasant and profitable

Cages great drainage canal the city

damages steps have been taken to de-
termine the justice of the expected
complaint from st. Louis about the pos
sible increased pollution of the water
of the Mississippi. By the direction OF
the city authorities the chemical and
botanical department of the Universi-
ties Of Illinois and of Chicago will soon
commence a series of tests upon the
waters of Lake Michigan, the Illinois
river, and the Mississippi between the
mouth of the Illinois and the city of
st. Louis, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the present condition of the streams

gists Of Chicago. The investigation Is
to be made in accordance with re-
quest of the Board of Commissioners
of the Chicago Drainage Canal, who
wish to know beyond the possibility Of
doubt the exact condition Of the wa
ter, so that comparison can be made
after the canal is opened. The investi-
cation will extend over the entire year,
so as to get the effects of the various
seasons upon the germ life of the
streams. 1t was the intention that the
st. Louis Board of Health should assist
in the matter but as it has already
made thorough tests Of the water Of
the Mississippi, it declined again to do
the work.

ly tucked. A linen collar is to be worn
with such waists, and tie and ribbon
belt may match. While there Is no de-
nying that such bodlces are more dressy
than shirt waists, and that perhaps they
are more suited to the finest materials
than are simple wash stuffs, yet IL they
are to be admitted permanently to the
shirt waist classification, the shirt waist
will not stand for ease and comfort so
strongly as it has done in the past
Those points are what has made it well
coined, and because Of them 1t has been
worn by everyone. Surely, it will not
be downed. Consider waists like this
pictured one as an expression of the
dressmaker's jealousy or ambition, and
the truth won't be far away.
The straight-fron bodice gains in
favor steadily, but it has not entirely
displaced the round bodice. The blouse
front still holds its own, and the yoke
in some one Of its many variations seems
to be an inevitable feature of almost all
gowns. Colors are very delicate Cloth
is offered in all weights, and there will
be an effort to wear it just as late as
possible. Many cotton goods are made
with cloth finish and in cloth coloring.
Cotton covert can hardly be distinguish
ed except by the touch from covert
cloth. Cottons are to be made up with
the simplicity of cloth gowns well into
the summer, and denims and ducks
come in shades that make this possible.
Elaboration is to be expended in organ
dies, wash silks, mulls and lace dresses.

great sacrifice of comfort has been
made in order to attain a greater degree
of dressiness, In some models the out

them faithfully. The sleeves are quite
as tight as they are in any current form

The scheme of Rufus L. Perry, a col
ored lawyer and politician of Brooklyn,
to establish model town for negroes
on the eastern end Of Long Island is
interesting, though not very promising.
The inhabitants of this town, it seems.
are to be carefully chosen negroes from
the South. Every one Of them must be
of good character and Industrious hab-
its, and the head of each family and
each unattached colonist must possess
a capital of SIS on which to begin the
new life. No white person will be al
lowed to own real estate in the new
city, but employment Is to be provided
by factories erected and operated by
the money of some unnamed white cap.
talists. These are the essential features
of Mr.. Perry's scheme, and it is said
that, owing to the recent lynching in
the South, his trouble will be, not to
get enough inhabitants for his town,
but to keep it's population within the
limits proposed, 900 at first and $4,000
after things get to running smoothly.
1t will take model negroes and model
management to make this scheme a
success.

Rev. r. Perry Powers makes short
and thorough work in the Church Econ
onlist of the curious argument that
many people stay away from meeting
because the meeting houses are so ee-
giant. He has made special study of
New York meeting houses, and he says:
None Of these churches has a snowy
exterior. A few of them, built many
years ago, when the wealthy people of
brownstone structures, but plain, much
palmer than the modern style of COM
mercial architecture. The interiors are
severely simple. All of these churches
are good enough for any one to worship
in, and yet they are too fine for no one.
To complain that these churches are
too elegant for workingmen is gro
funny when you compare their
severe plainness with the mahogany
and cut glass and nickel plate and huge
mirrors and lavish expenditure of cleo
trio lights with which saloons are fitted
up, not only on Broadway, but on Am
avenue and Columbus avenue
and streets of less note. I never heard
that the saloonkeepers found it neces-
sary to keep elegance and garish splen-
dor, or the imitation of it, out of their
places so that the workingmen should
not be deferred from entering.
No, it is not too much elegance that
keeps people out of the meeting houses.
1t is too little religion, \
