Tn. Lower California Gold Fields,

At Guaymas there is great deal of talk about the new Santa Clara gold dlggings oU the peninsula of Lower California. The new diggings are about l20 miles northwest from Santa Rosalia, which is directly across the gulr from Gaaymas, and many parties are outhtting at Guaymas and Santa Rosalia and going in that way. The route from Santa Rosala is reported to be over good road across the mountains, easily travelled, with plen- ty of water all the way, but forage Is a little scarce. From the Pacific coast of the peniniula the diggings are reached within distance of about twenty miles from San Quintin. a point about one hundred miles from Cape San Roque. That is the point of authorization for people coming down the coast from San Francisco. From Santa Rosalia comes report that many of the miners who were at work in the BoIeo Co.'S mines and went over when the rush first com menced, have returned with varying quantities of gold ranging from one to four pounds each-qute d fortune for each man, as fortunes go amoug people of their class in Mexico. To ouy up the gold they brought into the town all the silver in Santa Rusalia had been absorbed, with more gold of. rering, and the merchants and dealers there had sent over to Guaymas for q new supply of money. The demand for burros for pack animals by those outitting had raised the price of those patient animals to S35 and $40 each at santa Rosalia, and many now going over from Guaymas are now purchasing their animals upon this side of the gulf and taking them over Last week large number Of pros pectors had congregated at Guaymas awaiting the arrival of the Carmen, which vessel was then shortly due, to go over There is report that there is great scarcity of water along the road and at the diggings, but well in- formed people say that water can be got almost anywhere by sinking few feet below the surface.

A Charmed Life.

At Minas Prietas, one day last week, man named Emilio Moreno fell down the old Minas Prietas shaft, a distance of l39 feet, and, strange to say, escaped unhurt. He was work ing about the top of the shaft, at tending to loading and unloading cars as the cage went up aud down. While 1t was at the bottom he leaned against the rail protecting the shaft and he sell asleep. His weight broke the rail, and he awoke as he was going down the shaft. At the bottom he struck the top of the cage, hitting 1t feet first, aud tanning all out of shape the steel covering and the steel frame.
 About year ago the same man pushed car of into the same shaft, and clung to 1t clear to the bottcm, without getting hurt. His mortified fellow workmen at the top were preparing to descend when the man came climbing ur the ladder, looking little sheepish, but entirely unhurt. The car was bent out of all semblance.

Testing Drinking Water.

1t is an excellent plan to t3st the
family supply of drinking water at
least once during the season. Water
that is at one time pure and whole
some may finally for some reason be-
come too impure to be fit for use. Abb
solutely, pure water is uncommon.
Water may be without visible color
and have no odor or taste and yet
contain dangerous qualities.
A simple test for drinking water is
Heisch sewage test. Fill a clean pint
bottle three-quarters full of water to
be tested, and dissolve in it a half
a teaspoonful Of pure granulated sugar
Cork it and set it in a warm place for
two days If during this time it be-
comes cloudy or milky it is unfit for
domestic use. If 1T remains perfectly
clean it is probably safe. Be careful
that the bottle is absolutely as clean
as yo. can make it and the sugar pure
in making this test as well as the next
The second test is also a simple one.
Obtain from a trustworthy druggist
about five cents worth of saturated
solution of permanganate of potas-
SUM. Add about five drops of this to
p pint bottle of water This will turn
the water a beautiful rose purple If
there IS any considerable amount Of

The discovery of meteOrS that have
actually been seen to fall is a rare
piece of good fortune. Such an event
occurred last August, near Andover,
Maine. The meteor fell on a cloudy
morning, and exploded with a noise
heard for many miles around, and
which was generally supposed to be
thundIr. Its path through the air
was marked by a trail of black smoke.
Tearing its way through a group OF
trees it almost struck man passing.
1t did strike a stone wall and buried
itself in the ground, from which it
was dug by Mr.. Henry Y Poor, the
well-known editor Of the Manuel of
Railroads. 1t weighs about seven
pounds, and consists mostly of stony
material. with a little iron.

Harvard's DIeteorolo gicaI Station.

To Harvard university belongs the
credit of having established the richest
meteorological station in the world
nearly four miles above the sea level
namely, on the summit of Ell Mistl,
Quiescent volcano near Arequ1Pa, In
Peru. he main station is at Arequl-
pa itself, at an altitude of about S,OoO
feet, and there are seven other sta
lions, including one at the base OF
Ell Misti, 1900 feet above the sea
level, while the one On the summit Is
at 1920. or about $500 feet higher
than the noted station on Mont Blanc.
The shape of the Misti is declared to
be admirable. it being an almost per-
feet, although more or less truncated,
cone and the conditions of exposure OF
the instruments are as nearly perfect
as it is possible to obtain On a noun
tain. The instruments now in use on
the summit are dry and wet bulb ana
maximum and minimum thermome-
tiers, rain gauge, Richard Paragraph

is also meteorCgraph, constructed py
Ferguson especially for this observa-
tory, and designed to record tempera-

PapyriStite.

Papyristite is a new artificial stone
like substance which is highly spoken
of in one Of the United States consul
lar reports, and which is being man.
ufactured at Zurich in Switzerland.
The principal constituent Of this sub
stance is purified pulp obtained from
waste paper; hence its name. The
material is supplied in powdered form,
and is packed like cement in barrels
or sacks; mixed with water, it can be
spread like cement, will harden in p
hours, and is then susceptible of re-
ceiving high polish. if such treat
ment should be required. PaDyristite
can be cut, sawn, or bored; it is hard
as marble; it can be given any tint
desired: it is adapted to all tempera-
lures, and it is light, elastic and mex
pensive. 1t is non-absorbent of mois-
ture or any filthy OR obnoxious matter
and is not liable to the attacks of in
sects, mice or rats.

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.

Hunting expeditions after big game
are common occurrences, but it has re-
NAMED for Mr.. Claude Beddington, r.
R. G. S., to set forth avowedly in pur-
suit of the mighty little microbe that
is supposed to make malarial fever.
He has just started with an expedition
for the hinterland of the gold coast
and Ashantee, where malarial fever
works it's will in such deadly fashion,
and the investigators intend to collect
specimens Of blood from fever patients
and also mosquitoes. as these little
pests are now regarded as mainly re-
sponsible for the propagation Of the
disease Mr.. Beddington's medico-
scientific expedition will be away about
eight months; for the quest of game
and microbes may lead the adventures
as far as the Congo.
Relating to the connection that is
considered to exist between malaria
and mosquitoes, Professor 3. Grassi,
German. has been making study of
the matter. From careful deductions
DR.. Grassi has been led to the con-
clusion that certain species Of the
MOSQUITO are innocuous, while others,
again, are active dlSSem1natorS of the
malarial poison. In effect, the balance
Of cause and effect between the mos
quitoes and the malaria is so finely
hung that it is difficult to tell which
lowers the scales.
Marshy and malarial districts I'M
doubtedly breed mosquitoes in album
dance and the mosquitoes of such
neighborhoods have the faculty Of in
oculating those whom they puncture
with the malarial germ. Should the
fact that certain classes OF these in
sects are disseminators Of the disease
be finally established. medical men are
hopeful that much may be done to NIT
igate the spread of malaria by the de-
struction of the mosquito larvae in
districts where the dangerous species
abound.

The members of an archaeological So
ciety had a gathering at the home Of
a certain one CT their number in Glou-
ceSter. While they were roaming
about the house. the host called the
attention of his guests to an old clock.
a great favorite of his. He told his
friends Of his great attachment to this
ancient timepiece, and grew quite pa
= thetic at certain points in his re-
marks, which he brought to close
by saying, in a voice full of emotion
Gentlemen, l have wound up that
clock every night for more than forty
years" He had evidently made an
impression on his visitors, when one
old allow, who had been carefully ex-
amining the clock. turned the tide OF
feeling evoked by the story by saying.
dryly: well, 1 always did think you
were something of an idiot! That's an
eight-day clock!"
