TRICKS WITH FLOWERS.
OoRor Schemes Unknown In the Floral
World Produced ~ the Use
Of Chemical.

The chemical expert has by no
a monopoly of pretty experiments
evolving marvellous color schemes
hitherto unknown in the floral world.
One artist suggests a simple and in
teresting experiment which is espe-
cially successful with pansies, and
which a child may easily perform.
A saucer, a little ammonia, a flower
or two, and a glass tumbier are all the
implements needed to enable II to
present a bunch of exquisite green
pansies to the uninitisted Such a gift
is sure to awaken much enthusiasm
and test the ability of the recipient to
take a joke, says a New York e1-
change.
by the application of chemicals to the
soil or by atmospheric conditions, and
hence is particularly susceptible to the
fumes of ammonia. A little of the
liquid poured into a saucer, with a
bit Of paper laid over it. on which to
rest the flowers, acts very quickly on
the c~hlorophyll, or coloring matter,
when the fumes the confined by a
tumbler. The reason is this: Chloro-
phyll is in its nature acid. The fumes
of ammonia, on the other hand, are
alkaline, an excess of which first neu-
tralizes the acid present in the fresh
flower, and then changes it to an aka
Ii. The effect of the alkah varies. of
course, according to the predominant
ing color of the subject.
Repeated experiments shows marked
tendency toward green, simply be-
cause purple and blue are standard
colors among violas and are thus at
fected. A few interesting color changes
are: Shaded purple with white edge
is converted into green, with blue vein
ings and yellow border; maroon
striped, dark green and blue; pale blue
becomes pale green; white always
takes on a yellow tint, and a pretty
cerise comes out in vivid blue. Yellow
is unaffected.
Sweet peas are also fertile subjects,
and pungent fumes develop the unex-
pected with a rapidity that an expert
hybridizer might envy. Some wonder
full symphonies in green are evolved
from piak and lavender creations.
Ammonia cannot be said to improve
nasturtiums. but surely produces GU
rious freaks. Yellow blotched red be-
comes yellow blotched bronze green,
and a purely flame red a spotted dark
green.
There is, Of course, no permanency in
colors thus enforced. The most won
derful symphonies will hold their own
for a time, but if placed in water in
the open air they will return TO nor
NAL coloring in a few hours.

In the operation of dredging navi-
gable channels at the mouth of the
| Moruya and Shoalhaven rivers, in New
South Wales, 1t was discovered that
the mud contained gold dust. An au-

estimated that enough gold will thus
be obtained to defray the expenses of
keeping the channels open.
According to Prof. S~palding, the

culture vas ITO feet tall and As inches

A teacher in one of the primary
schools near Boston. says the Herald
of that city, had given her pupils q
short talk on the early history Of the
United States, and among other
things, said that before the breaking
out Of the Wa of Independence, Bos-
ton was a hot bed Of revolution
against English rule. The next day
in order to test the juvenile memory,
she again took up the subject Of the
colonial rebellion and incidentally in
quired how many of the little boys and
girls had remembered what she said
about Boston the day previous.
There was q dead silence for a few
moments. when q youthful patriot
arose and said that he could tell. He
was one of the youngest members Of
the class, and the teacher pointed
him out as an example worthy of imi-
t~ation, her words also being in the
nature of q mild reprimsnd to the
older children for not paying closer
attention to their lessons. At the con-
clusion of this short lecture she said
"Now, Johnnie, tell the children what
I said about Boston," John straight
ened up and at the top Of his voice
shouted: "You said that Boston was
q hot town."

whisky TO Indians.

The Virginia papers rank whisky
selling to Indians, next to mining and
agriculture, among the chief indust-
ries of Nevada and complain that
every year useful citizens are taken
from their families and business affairs
to convict these criminals. 1t is sug-
gested that if the extreme penalty be
inflicted these cowardly criminals
will disappear and their Ubiquitous
traffic cease. This would be a step in
the right direction. says the Wads-
worth Dispatch. but nothing will stop
1t but the administration of q like pun
ishment to the Indian. Every Indian
by this time knows as we'll as every
white man that he has no more right
to take than the white man has to
give. So, the Indian to accept, know
ing full we'll the punishment he is
bringing on the white mans head,
makes himself as great a coward and
q criminal as the white man, and be
should likewise be punished. If the
Indian who accepted whisky was given
a year in States Prison along with his
white brother, this business would

San Francisco Call: That the Selby
company may gain much by agreeing
to let Winters 60 free may be con-
coded. but they have no right to make
that profit for themselves by turning
loose upon society a confessed robber.
Winters has not violated a law of the
Selby company, but a law of Califor-
MIA, and to that law is answerable.
The rights Of the community are at
stake in this matter, and it is the duty
of the authorities to o to it that the

Following is the text Of the mining law
enacted by the last State Legislature,
which vent into effect July 1, 1901:
CHAPTER XCIII-An Act to amend
section one of an Act entitled: San
Act amendatory of and supplemental to
AN Act relating to the location, manner
of recording lode and placer claims, mill
sites, tunnel rights, amount of work nee
essary to hold possession of mining
claims and the rights Of co-owners
therein" approved March 16, 1897, ap.
proved March IA, 1899, approved March
20, 1901.
SECTION l. Section two Of the above
named Act is hereby amended to read as
follows: Section 2. Before the expiration
of ninety days from the time of posting
notice upon the claim the locator must sink
a discovery shaft upon the claim located to
the depth Of at least ten feet from the low.
est part of the rim of such shaft at the sur.
face, or deeper if necessary, to show by
such work a lode deposit Of mineral in
place. A cut or crosscut, or tunnel, which
cuts the lode at a depth of ten feet, or an
open cut along the ledge or lode equiva-
ent in size to a shaft four feet by six feet by
ten feet deep, is equivalent to a discovery
shaft. The locator must define the boun-
diaries of his claim by marking a tree OF
rock in place, or by setting a post or stone,
one at each corner and one at the center OF
each side line. When a post is used it
must be at least four inches square by four
feet six inches j n'length, set n foot in the
ground, with q mound of stone or earth
four feet in diameter by two feet in height
around the post. When it is practically
impossible on account Of bedrock or pre-
cipitous ground. to sink such posts, they
may be placed in q pile Of stones; or
where the proper placing of such posts or
monuments of stone is impracticable or
dangerous to life and limb, it shall be law
full to place such post or monument Of
stone at the nearest point, properly marked
to designate its right place. When a stone
is used. not a rock in place, it must be at
least six inches square and eighteen inches
in length, set two-thirds Of it's length in
the ground, which trees, stakes or monu-
ments must be SO marked as to designate
the corners Of the claim located"
SEc. 2. This Act shall take effect on the
day Of July. 1901.

mrxrSe AT sREAr DEPTH.

A recent dispatch from Johannes
burg says that the main reel OF the
Rand has been struck at a depth oil
1890 feet by the aid Of the diamond
drill. This is one Of the most impor-
tant mining events in years and goes
far to prove the reliability Of the new
South African estimates as to the value
of the Rand reefs. 1t establishes the
permanent gold industry for seventy
years and practically proves there are
additional deep levels equivalent to
the whole line Of the outcrop OF mines.
As the Comstock lode is the greatest
assure yet discovered in mining his
tory, says the Virginia Chronicle, there
is no doubt in the minds OF practical
miners that bonanzas exist in this
issure at far greater depths than have
yet been attained that will prove
vastly more prolific in bullion produc-
ton than those heretofore discovered
and the increasing desire OF capitalists
to seek investments in mining ven-
lures is an assurance that the day is
not far distant when the Comstock
lode will be explored to twice the
depth of it's former lowest workings.
Another feature that has been dem
onstrated in Comstock ore deposits
that should prove an incentive for the
exploration Of the lode at the greatest
depth attainable with modern mining
appliances, is that il has been demon
strated beyond controversy that the
gold value Of the ore increases as
depth is attained. When the bonanza
was discovered on the 1,400 level OF
what is now known as the Consoli-
dated and Virginia mine, the silver
in the ore predominated in the ratio
of 66 per cent over the gold value,
while in the ore now extracted from
the 1850, 1920 and 2050 levels the gold
value has increased to more than so
per cent of the total ore value and in
one part of the vein between the 1850
and 1850 levels nuggets Of the yellow
metal are found in the ore. The
greater specific gravity Of gold over
silver would mutually cause the former
when in q molten state to settle be-
low the lighter metal.

Taxpayer Raises His Assessment,
John Sparks of Reno, the cattle
man. is not satisfied with the rate put
on thoroughbred cattle by the State
Board of Assessors. says the Journal.
When he was assessed in Washoe a
few days ago he said that $50 a head
was too low for his cattle and he rated
them at $40 and put all in at that as
thoroughbreds. The 800 rate on
thoroughbred bulls he also said was
too low for his stock and put them in
at $500 apiece.
