II Is generally supposed that the
nuggets which are found in the river
gravels OF Klondike and other aurif-
erous 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 opinion
that this cannot be the case, for no
masses OF gold OF so large size were
ever found In the reefs themselves
They believe. on the other hand, that
are now found. Just as a crystal OF
salt will grow In a strong brine; but
with 70 insoiuble a substance as gold
II was difiicuit 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 so
iutions Of gold salts. but these salts
are not known to occur In reefs. The
mystery is now solved. A slavonIo
chemist named Zxigmody has Just
shown that gold itself can exist In
a soluble form. BY acting on a slight
~ alkaline solution OF gold salt
with formaidehyde and submitting the
product Of diaiysis he has succeeded
In obtaining gold in = colioidal eondi-
tion, In which state II IL soluble In
water and may be precipitated by the
addition Of common salt.

The World Language.

Threats of revolution and civil war
do not interfere with pushing the
preparations for the exposition Of
1900. In addition to the ninety world
congresses decided upon preparations
are being made for what will be the
most interesting and far reaching of
all-namely, the congress for the con-
sideration of a universal language
called @Esparanto." Hopes are en-
tertained by those who have studied
it that it will be taken up by all ma
tons. It's great recommend alton is to
be the facility with which it can be
learned.
The grammer of "Esparanto" by DR..
l.. Zamehof, the Russian savant, is
marvelously easy and can be learned
In an hour. Tolstoi and others recon-
mend the lew language upon the
humanitarian grounds, because in
affords such an easy way Of intercom-
munication between countries having
a different language. There is a
newspaper published in the language
of Epernay. The editor was a life
long student of Volapuk, but gave it
up when the claims of "Esparanto"
were brought to his notice.
Its chief promoter is here is Prof.
George Picot of the Institute of Paris
who has converted his follow acade-
micians to his way of thinking. Re.
garding "Esparanto" he said:
Il favor Esperanto because of the
ease with which it can be learned.
We get at the root word which is
easily understood. We retail old
Roman characters. Volapuk is q
failure because 1T is too difficult. The
new language has no complex rules.

mercial language and can be master

How Emery is Ouarried.

Emery comes from the island of
Naxos, in the eastern Mediterranean,
whence it has been exported for the
last two centuries or moro. The
beds are in the northeast Of the is
land, the deposits descending into
some Of the neighborlng islands, the
emery being found in lenticular
masses, resting on layers of schist in
limestone almost identical with Par
ian marble, the finest marble known,
which comes from the island OF Paros
close by.
There are about 300 men engaged
in the trade, all Of whom have to be
married before they are admitted to
the fraternity. The material is much
too hard to be dug out or even blast
ed. Great fires are lighted around
the blocks till the natural cracks ex-
pand with the heat, and levers are
then inherited. to pry them apart.
This system is continued until the
blocks are reduced in size to masses
OF a cubic foot or less, and they are
then shipped as If they were coal.
There are said to be 100000 tons
yet available 1T Naxos, and the last
reported years export was 1850 tons.
1t is one of the hardest substances
known.-Ironmongery.

Wedding Bells.

There was very pretty home we'd
ding, last night, at the residence Of
MIR. and Mrs. James Bran. The con.
tracing parties were two of our well
known and highly respected young
people: Mr.. Walter G. Kline and
Miss Alberta Benson. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. George
r. Plummer, Of st. Paul's Church.
The house was very prettily trimmed
with flowers, and the bride and groom
stood under canopy Of roses during
the ceremony. Misses Sadie and
Marjorie Henderson, dressed in
white, and looking exceedingly sweet,
acted as BRIDES maids.
The happy couple were the recip-
tents OF many beautiful and useful
presents from friends at home and
abroad. Silver and cut glass articles
we're among the presents, also a
handsome sideboard and book. case.
The invited guests we're all rela-
tivee. Mr.. and Mrs. L. o. Hender-
son, from Carson, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Henderson, Mr.. and Mrs. Henley.
Mrs. Major Miller, Messrs. Walter,
Hayden and Charles Henderson,
with Master Osbourne and Henly
Miller, and last, though not least,
young Master Gerald Miller.
A delicious supper followed the
ceremony, and everyone present
joined in wishing the newly married
couple all the Joy that life can give.
Of course there were serenaders on
the outside, and they, too, we're fur
nished with some Of the good things
that adorned the table.

was deemed prudent to run it out of

Distrib utIon OF Wealth.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's statement
that a man ought not to die rich and
his determination to try and get rid
OF all his wealth before death over
takes him, have been received with
much incredulity. But there is GER
tainly growing disposition on the
part OF our rich men to return some
portion of their wealth to the com.
munity in which they made it. The
list OF magnificent requests that have
been made within the year bring this
to view. Most of them have been
made in favor Of public institutions
and charities. The late re. Billings
left 81 100000 to be distributed in
this way. A careful computation Of
the money given in this way in the
last fen years would make one Of the
most astounding. exhibits. This mu-
nificence is assuming American larg.
ness, and is already attracting the at.
tention and eliciting the admiration
OF foreign countries.

eight years, either fell in play OF
was pushed in such way as to
fall on an iron scraper near th e

said nothing about it at the time,
either to his companions or to his
teacher, but went home. Last
Friday the teacher, Miss Gates,
was seen by the mother of the boy
and was told that he was very ill.
Prof. Clark did not hear of it un-
til yesterday.
Miss Gates called at the house,
as did also Prof Clark, as soon as
they knew of the accident, but all
they could learn from the boy was
that he had been pushed onto the
scraper.
Last night the little fellow died,
apparently as the result Of inter-
nal injuries caused by the fall
The most careful investigation
on the part of both Prof. Clark
and Miss Gates fails to disclose

is evident that the accident oc-
