Magical devices for discovering de-

a more or less scientific nature. by
means Of which masses OF gold and
silver, or rich lodes, may be located.
Most of these forms Of apparatus are
electrical. says the Philadelphia Sat

One OF them has two long and sharp
iron STATS, which. being held apart
at a distance of a couple Of feet, are
thrust down into the earth. Attached
to them are small battery and a

of the most thrilling enterprises in

vations were endured in driving across
an unknown wilderness withou; roads
or trail. or guides. The reindeer were
frequently stampedei by wolves and
mountain lions, but in the end they
accomplished journey which could
not possibly have been made with
either dogs or horsss. In conjunction

When Benjamin Franklin first
thought Of starting a newspaper In
Philadelphia many OF his friends ad-

TO JUDGE AN OPAL.
20 the Now Popular Ua-
lucky Stone.

An e1per, on ops! mining has recent
ly explained how the opal is judged
as TO quality and bility. First,
he says. co.or is of the greatest i'm
portaDce. Red Are, or red in combina
tion with yellow, blue and green. are
the best. Blue by Itself is quite val
ueless, and the green opal is not of
great value unless the color is very
vivid and the pattern very good. The
color must be true; that is to say. il
must not run in streaks or patches,
alternating with colorless or inferior
quality. Pattern is described as be-
ing an important factor. the severa!
varieties being known rs "pinfire."
when the grain is very small; "harle-
auin," when the color is al in small
squares, the more regular the better,
and the "fashfre," or "fashopal,"
when the color shows as a single fash,
or in very large pattern. Harlequin
is the most common, and is also pop
ularly considered the most beautiful.
When the squares of color are regu-
lar and show as distinct, minute checks
of red, yellow, blue and green. it is
considered magnificent. Some stones
show better on edge than on top,

QUARRELsoNE ANCESTORS.
Continually In . Row OF
SOAS KiAa.

A study Of medieval rural life is
apt TO give the impression that the
principal part OF the life Of the peo-
pie Was spent in quarrsling or in the
commission or prosecution of offenses.
Our ancestors certainly were a very
litigious and very disorderly people.
The records tesm with instances of
meme and women drawing knives
against one another, OF breaking into
houses, Of prosecuting one another
for kander. Then We have such en-
tries aS these, says Lippincotti:

Such entries, frequently occurring,

THE xAsrrcAr1oN CURE.
digestion on the GladstOnian
Principle.

Mastication il the latest cure for
the ills which afflict mankind, says
a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle. A
German scientist has discovered that
indigestion and all the complaints
arising from it can be either prevent
ed or cured by obliging patients to
bite up thoroughly everything that
enters their mouths. Even liquids,
such as water, must be chewed to some
extent, and soup must receive as much
mastication as il it were composed of
dry bread crumbs. According to the
scientist who advocates this method,
IS per cent. of the stomach troubles
OF mankind are caused by improper
methods Of consuming food and drink.
The human mouth, he points out, is
neither mere receptacle for food.
nor is it designed solely for tasting.
1t Is as much digestive organ as the
stomach itself. More than half of
the process Of digestion. he says,
should take place in the mouth. tits
when the work which should have
been performed by the teeth is thrown
upon the stomach that Indigestion and
other troubles enSue. Animals do not
have Indigestion, says the German dis
coverer, because those which have
been given ruminant teeth never think
Of boiling their food, as mankind does.
The dog bolts its food and does not
suffer from Indigestion simply because
nature has provided it with digestive
apparatus which renders chewing
more or less superfuous. Nature,
however, stopped with the animals.
No man yet Investigated has been
found to possess the dogs digestive
abilities.
