In his recent work on LllzDn DR..
Rhine of Hanover gives an interesting
description of visit to the gold dig
gings in the Candelaria goldfield. In
the more elevated portions Of the Can
delaria district little trouble is given by
water. but the air in the mines is often
too foul to breathe. Ventilation Is Sc
cured by lowering into the shaft bas-
ket Of burning Goals. If there are two
connecting shafts, this device creates
good draft down one and up the
other.
Dr. Rinne's own shaft had reached
the depth of 60 feet. At the bottom
nearly naked workmen were cutting
galleries by the light of little torches
and sending up baskets of ore and
refuse. These were hauled up by means
of a wooden capstan worked by two
men. This is Filipino gold mining as
1t has been carried on from time i'm
memorial.
The gold bearing ore is then crushed
by pounding with stones or on larger
scale ground in an arrasta, or mill,
driven by yoke Of oxen. 1t is then
washed in shallow wooden pans to get
rid of the bulk of the lighter material.
The product of this first washing is
again washed in coeoanut shells and
yields quantity Of gold in dust and
small particles.
A vegetable sap called gogo Is used
in this process to preeipitate the finer
dust. Finally the dust is packed in
small mussel shells and melted over a
charcoal fire. This accounts for the
peculiar shell-like form in which Fill
Zinc gold appears in the market.

boys, who We're graduated last year.
The practical possibilities of the light
were explained to w. S. Mead, the mil
lionaire. and the building of four boats
designed specially for this kind Of
deep sea fishing is now under way.
On each of the boats there will be
four electric lamps on cables 20o fec

net which will be automatically open
ed. The weight of the fish will close
it. Each boat will be equipped with a
complete electric lighting plant, and
wherever possible wood will be used

decks will be brilliantly lighted.
The lamp consists of an upper
mechanism chamber solenoid and other
mechanism. The lower chamber Is ia-
closed by glass globe, which Is her
metically sealed to the upper chamber
by rubber gaskets. Inside the lower
chamber are placed an inner globe and
the carbon. The lamp is % inches over
nil and is encircled by handle seven
inches in diameter. The metal parts
are of gun metal The glass globes are
designed to withstand pressure OF
600 pounds, insuring safety at depth
of 1000 feet. The greatest depth to

To Make Ozone by Electricity.
A patent has recently been taken out
in Germany for the production of ozone
by the electrification of the air by
process which reduces the heat gener-

apparatus TO be preferred has its elec-
trodes covered with very large num-
Der of points and separated hy glass

to MAKE the electric discharge as near

CIOshinE and Disease,

Does the int oduction of civilized
clothing among sava%es breed disease
and iniirnities? 1t has been observed
recently il the Philippines that the
sava@es who have adopted civilized
clothing have suffered in their general
health. The wearing OF high silk
hat. for example. has produced brain
trouble, while even the strain of wear
ing pyjamas has caused serious merry
GUS disorders. So serious have been
the results in some cases that the ply

The newest scientific discovery Is pre-
ventive incubation for plant diseases,
says the New York Herald. 1t offers
to the world novel means Of fighting
the numerous maladies which attack
the garden, the orchard and the ripen-
ing field crops. Hypodermic injections
Of certain germ cultures are given to
the plants, which, being mildly sicken-
ed for awhile, presently recover and
are thereafter proof against Infection
veritable vegetable immunes, in fact.
Plants, like animals, are subject to
ever so many diseases, most of them
caused by germs Of one kind or anoth-
er. Such micro organisms when they
feed on the leaves cause what are called
trusts and ''smuts" and frequently do
an immense amount of damage. Often
the fruit in garden or orchard rots in
the very act Of ripening, and this is as
likely as not to be occasioned by a pc
culiar bacterium known to science as
the Bacillus putrefaciens.
This bacillus has been chosen as 4
special favorite for the incubation
work 1t grows rapidly on gelatin and
is easily utilized in suitable solution
for injections. Wheat, oats, beans, sun
flowers and radishes when treated in
this way show symptoms of being un:
we'll. but soon throw them off and are
thcnceforth proof not only against
plant rot" but also against other COM
mon maladies due to germs.
The bacillus in feeding on the gelatin
multiplies at a great rate and Incl
dentally develops poison peculiar to
itself. This poison, or toxin, as experts
call it, can be separated from the
germs themselves by simple process
of tiltering. Then it may be used by
itself in making the injections, and, as
far as shown. it has the same effect In
rendering the plant immune. 1t APP
