States is only one Of many gold-produc-
ing countries and not the largest pro-
Queer at that. Except for the Boer war,
South Africa would be turning out $780,
600 900 year from the Rand and Bar
berton mines alone. When peace is re-
stored the output will soon reach that
figure. But these two districts will be
matched by many others on the Dark
Continent during the next decade. The
Russian empire is turning out about
$25 900 year. What will it be when
the auriferous PAGERS of Siberia, which
cover a larger area than all the gold
bearing fields of the United States, are
fully developed? Then, again, India
and China are taking rank in modern
,times as producers of gold. These coun-
the graveyards of gold, because of all
the millions of precious metal that have
entered them not an ounce has ever
returned. 1t has all disappeared as
completely as if it We're dumped into
the sea. 1t is estimated that there are
at least $6O,000,000 in gold sovereigns
boarded in the presidency of Bombay
and hundreds of millions of dollars are
concealed elsewhere throughout the de-
tendency. China absorbs the yellow
stream flowing into it as thoroughly as
the sands of the desert absorb moisture
Since the resumption of specie pay
ments in the United States in 1879, $780,
900 in gold has mysteriously disap-
peared from circulation. The consump-
ton of the metal in the arts is, of
course, increasing everywhere; but
there must be limit to it's absorption.
What is going to happen when this is
reached? When China and India have
become gorged and their own gold fields
yielding a surplus for export; when ST.
IBERIA pours out steady stream of gold
en- wealth; when Alaska and contiguous
territory in the northwestern part of
this continent are fully opened up and
the auriferous formations in the heart
of Africa and Australia are yielding the
precious metal to their fullest capacity?
The future thus promises a steady and
unprecedented increase in gold produce
ton and prospective limitation to con-
sumption. Students of the Professor
Shaler type clearly foresee an excess Of
supply over the demand among the pos
sibilities of the near future, and they
are asking what will then happen in
regard to values.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.

IS COLDS SUPREMACY IN DANGER.

The extraordinary increase in the
production of gold in modern times has
given rise to the question, Is COLDS
supremacy as a standard of value In
danger? In a recent Lectures before 600
students Professor n. S. Shaler who
holds the chair Of geology in Harvard
university, predicted that within the
next thirty years there will be an inffux
Of gold such as the world before has
never known. If, as result of this
big production. the price of gold should
depreciate, which is possible the pro-
fessor holds that another metal must
be looked for as a token of international
value. He believes the substitute will
be silver, because it is not found like
gold in alluvial plains and is more diff
cult to mine. Il -
Excepting iron, gold Is the most gen.
orally diffused of all metals. OF course.
it does not occur everywhere in paying
quantities; that happens only in spots.
But the new systems of mining in mod
ern times have broadened the produc-
tive gold field of the earth immensely.
During the past half century the worlds
output of gold has become, in conse-
quence. more than twice what the three
and one half centuries Immediately pre-
ceding produced. During the years
from 1851 to 1899 the worlds gold prod
uct amounted to IS. sos 6S1 900: from 1901
to 1850 it aggregated ss.129. 100000. The
ratio increased wonderfully during the
four years ending January l, 1900, when
ST. 043, 491 900 was added to the worlds
store of the precious metal. Thus in
four years nearly one-siXth of the total
production of the last half of the nine
teenth century was obtained. This ex-
traordinary development was due to the
discovery of new gold fields and i'm
proved methods of working adopted in
the old ones. Cheap processes of eX-
traction and reduction are working
wonders, still further increasing the
output and making new areas of aurif-
erous ground available.
Professor Shaler estimates that the
auriferous placerS Of the United States
will yield $50. 900, 600, 900 within the next
100 years. 1t is possible that the es-
innate is not excessive. If this output
is reached the United States alone will
have produced in one century three
times as much as the total gold pro-
duction Of the world during the four
centuries preceding it. Yet the United

While pouring oil on some wood In

bursting the can and setting fire
to his clothes. The little fellow had
presence of mind enough to throw
some water on himself; he then ran
to the door of the room where his
mother and little sister were. His
mother was too badly frightened to
do anything at once, but his little
sister, a child eight years old, seized
the water bucket and dashed its con-
tents on him, completely putting out
the fire.
When assistance reached the
house the little fellow was trying to
draw water from the cistern to put
out the fire on and around the stove,
which, fortunately, did no damage,
there being not over half pint OF
oil in the can when it exploded.
