POINTERS AND COMMENT.

Rich ore and gangue once mixed can
never be satisfactorily separated by sort
ing.
Anthony sometimes occurs in metallic
state. but usually as the sulphide of the
metal (stibnite).
Hydraulic mining is now nightly carried
on in Trinity county, Cal, by use of
acetylene gas light.
x Xxx
1t has been demonstrated by scientific
experiment that there is proportionately
more gold in the waters of Salt Lake,
Utah, than In the waters of the Pacific
ocean.
Underground mining machinery and
working methods do not seem to be the
subject of such great and constant I'M
provement as milling and surface appli-
ances.
In Swedish mines the biacksmiths who
sharpen the drills are paid by the num-
Der of meters bored, and not by the num-
Der of drills sharpened, or by the days
work
x Xxx
Platinum is twice as heavy as silver
and nearly three times heavier than cast
iron 1t is almost as soft as copper and
is as ductile as gold. 1t resists the
strongest heat of the forge fire, but can
be fused b. an electric current.

Has Secured All Over Europe to Hire
 Soldiers,
 This is the first war Great Britain has fought against white enemies with out buying foreigners to fight for us, says a London paper. Until less than 50 years ago, when we had a war on hand, We sent oiIie to Germany, and all over Europe, SC men to fight for Us. The men sIgaged were most ly old soldiers, and were hired to fgat until the war was finished In 1756 an invasion of England Was feared, so 6,000 Hessians were hired to come and defend these shores against the ex- pected attack These hirelings were paid at the British rate of pay, and for every man of them killed their king was paid so much per head. Even against the American colonists He's sian troops were employed. No won der our fellow Englishmen were en- ragged at this shameless action. The landgraye of Hesse was paid $2,355, GOO in per cent stock for the Hes sians lost n the war of independence. This WAS the amount of $50 per man. The Irish rebellioE of 1798 was put down chiefly by Hessian hirelings. In the long struggle with Napoleon we freely hired foreigners, but the bulk of the work was done by British sol- diers. Wellington found that he could not rely on his mercenary gangs too much. Tn 1901 the Kings German le- gion'' of 10000 men was formed. Two years later the force was increased by 6,000 men. Besides Germans from all the petty states, there were also en- listed French royalists expelled by Ma po1eon, Gorsieans, Greeks, Italians. Turks. Portuguese, Belgians, Hungari- ans and Swiss. At Waterloo, Yelling. tons army of 67 600 was made up of only 22,000 British, and the rest were Dutch, Brunswickers, Hanoverians and Nassaumen. When peace came in 1914 there were no less than 29,000 hired foreigners forming corps in the British army. The Crimean war was the last time Britain had to go a-hiring sol- diers. Thirty thousand men had been sent to the Crimea and more were wanted So the government went to parliament with bill authorizing the enlistment of 10000 Germans. 5000 Swiss and 5000 Italians, at British rates If pay.

GREAT CITY FOR PADLocKs.
Phenomenal Way in Which They Flour
 ish al IrkntSk.

Irkutsk, the accepted capital of ori- ental Siberia, is a city of padloeks. It has only about 51,000 inhabitants, yet there are more padlocks on the shut ters and doors of frkutsk stores than can be found in an American city of 200, 900. There are as many as three padiocks on some store doors, and every lower story shutter bears from one to five. The paddock weighs from one to fifteen pounds. The popular size is five pounds and two and one- half inches thick, says the Chicago Record. The closing of a store is an affair of consequence. The heavy shut ters are swung together, the ponderous iron bars are put in place, the padlocks are adjusted and locked, and then comes the final and serious ceremony of locking the door. The door is shut the bars are placed, and the paddock is fixed and locked, and the Yerdant stranger thinks the closing operation is ever. It is not. A piece of cord is drawn through the hasp of the paddock. and the two ends are held against the door by clerk or boy, while the pro- prietor melts a piece of sealing wax and sticks the ends to the door. On the hot wax he places his private stamp. A promenade on an Irkutsk business street after closing time shows the huge padloeks, the two lines of string and fat dab of red wax as big as silver dollar. In ease sealing wax is dispensed with, the paddock is tied in a rag, the string being knotted in peculiar way. The business man of Irkutsk has no faith in a stringless paddock. I learned that through the wax and rag medium the owner of store knew if his lock had been tam pered with during the night

ODD REASONS s
Given for Advising People to stb
 Stamps on Straight.


 New York Tribune: Did you eve
 happen to think said A. V. Rawdon of Kansas City, at the Gilsey house, "of how much better it would be if people would affix stamps neatly and in an upright position upon their let ters, instead of in the helter-skelter manner which is generally prevalent? Besides, is it treating in fitting manner t4e memory of those great ones in the history of the republic whose features are held in living memory by means of the post? The father of his country has not come down to us historically as one likely to enter the. presence Of a lady on his nose, or, even when car rying you 3 notification that your bank account is overdTawn, to do so while skating along on his left eyebrow. Do you think that he who wrote the say ing of Poor Richard and drew up the Articles of Confederation for the AL
 bany convention would stand on his head. even were he conscious that t was his lot to carry around patent medicine advertisements and book no. tiees? Would the conqueror= of Appo- mattox, after his wonderful trip around the world, rest easy if he knew he was repeating that triumphal progress every day and entering the uttermost corners of the earth on his ear, his eye, or flat on his back? Or, again, is it befltting that the stern and rugged eonqueror of New Orleans and uneom- promising opponent of the United States bank should enter your pres- enee upon his right or left side? shudder even to think of him as stand- ing on his head, on account of the agony this position would cause him, due to his spike-like hair. By all means, stick your stamps on straight. It looks better and, besides, pays a more fitting tribute to the nations dead"

MYSTIC MESSAGE OF SORROW
Chicago Man MysteriousIy Learns of
 His Brothers Death in Manila.

 His Brothers Death in Manila.
 4 mystic message brought sad intel Hgence to Frank Fay Pratt of Chicago one day last week. It told him of the death of his twin brother Fred Roe Pratt, which occurred in Manila. Frank was sitting down to dinner in his home in Chicago when suddenly the impression entered his mind that his brother had died He could not tell whence the knowledge came, all he knew was that his brother was dead. He told his parents of his belief. of his knowledge of the sad event, and then he hurried into the streets, where he walked up and down for hours, bur- dened with his grief. Three days later came a cabIegram from Manila, telling that Fred Roe Pratt, who had been voyaging around the world, was dead and that his body was on a steamer bound for Japan. Fred left Chicago in December, 1898, in the company of friend t9 moke a tour of the world. It was their intention to visit nearly all the oriental countries, winding up in Australia They had already visited China, Japan, Singapore and other places. Fred was born in Chicago and had practiced law with his brother un- til he started on this trip. The simi- Iarity between the twin brothers was so marked and striking that the first thought on seeing them together was to doubt ones eyesight. Not only in features and stature were they coun- terparts, but in actions, expression anf general bearing also.

Guarding the Trans. siberian Railroad.


 The Trans-Siberian railroad is very closely guarded. the management feel ing personally responsible for the peo- pie they carry on their trains. The road is divided into sections of one verst, or five-eIghths of mile. In a neat little log house. usually in a gar den, live the guard and his people, The average family is a wife and five tow-headed children. The houses were built by the company and evidently with a view to meeting the demands of increasing families. The guard or member of his family must patrol his section night and day. He steps to the side of the track as the train ap- breaches and after it has passed steps back into the middle of the track, holds small green flag In the air, at night a lantern. and stands like statue until the train has entered the next section. Several guards do duty in the heavy curves and frequently they are only few hundred feet apart Much of the track patroling is done by women, who have proved fully as re- liable as the men. The women are nearly always barefooted, and as they stand en the track holding the flag aloft. a Siberian breeze toying with their short skirts, they are fine sub- jects for a sculptor after unique model
