Ingenuity of the Tahitans.

The Tahitans are said to be the peo-
pie most serviceable to the traveller.
They seem, in fact, to command at all
times the principal conveniences Of
life.
Half an hour OF daylight is sufficient
for building house OF the stems and
leaves of the fehi-banana. and fire is
produced by rubbing sticks.
If the running water is deeply sunk
among stones by working in banana
leaves they bring it to the surface.
The chase Of eeis. which in those
dripping mountains become almost am
phibious, offers another instance Of
their ingenuity.
They tear off with their teeth the
fibrous bark Of "puran" (1ibiscus til
iaceus), and a mcinent after apply it
to noosing small fish.

plating segments of a cocoanut leaf.
A mat will be manufactured with al
most equal ease. Clothing is always
at hand, and a barana leaf serves for
an umbrella. Tumblers and bottles
are supplied by single joints OF the
bamboo, and casks and buckets by the
long stems, and whether you ask for a
hatchet, knife. spoon, toothbrush, or
wash basin, the guides will never be
found at loss.

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

1t 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 a size were
ever found in the reefs themselves.
Ihey believe, on the other hand, that
the nuggets have grown where they are
now found, just as a crystal of salt will
grow In strong brine; but with so
lnsoluble substance as gold it was
dlf1cult 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-
tlons 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
soluble form. BY acting on a slightly
alkaline solution of a 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 tc
cause its precipitation. In the course
of ages a large nugget may in this
way be formed.

Oil on Country Highways.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The new experiments in making good
roads by sprinkling petroleum over
ordinary graded dirt roads have been.
according to all reports, astonshingly
successful. The results are astonishing
principally because of the novelty OF
the idea. 1t is true that petroleum has
been used for several summer seasons
for the sprinkling of the beds of rail
roads, and it was but a step further to
apply the oil to the country highways
Nevertheless, the degree of success that
has attended this latest development in
the use of petroleum has been so amaz-
ing to the highway authorities through
out the country that their incredulity is
only being slowly overcome.
The results of the application of oil to
the country roads appear to be an
almost permanent laying of the dust in
dry weather and an entire prevention OF
mud in wet weather. There is involved
first a proper grading and draining of
the dirt road in order that the rain
which falls upon the surface may have
an opportunity to run off. The rain
will not sink through the oiled surface
into the road bed, and if there are
hollow places in the surface of an oiled
road the rainfall will lie there until it
eyaporates.
The affinity of the oil for the earth is
reputed to be so great that an hour or
so after the road has been sprinkled
with oil no traces of grease can be found
upon the shoe soles of IA person walking
upon the highway and no injury what
ever is done to the tires of bicycles.
The economy and ease with which oi,
can be applied to the surfaces OF our
dusty or muddy highways promise Il
those sections of the country where il
has not yet been found possible to build
stone roads. When the dirt road is
exactly in the right condition it is
superior to any stone road that can be
built because of the absence of noise.
the absence Of shock and injury to the
horse, and the smoothness of the sur
face. But the dirt road is almost never
in exactly the right condition. If an
infrequent sprinkling with oil will keep
it so, then a simple, but most important
discovery has indeed been made.
The experiment with oil upon the
highways have been made in the middle
West whore, during the past winter an
uuheard of comfort has been attained
upon highways that heretofore have
been bar to business and ban upon
all social life. The news should be car
ried to the East as rapidly as possible
