Makes Silver Out of Gold.

A dispatch from Merlin, Oregon,
says J. A. La Rix, chemist and met
allurgist, has made silver from gold
and developed a new metal from
slate, from which he expects to pro-
duce gold, From his notes, which
were scanned by the government in
spectors, it seems he has developed
a new metal from commercial slate,
abundant there, which has an affinity
for the atom of gold and silver, which
he calls "Rixum. The theory he
has been working upon is the disin-
tegration of the atom into unitiCns
and the satisfaction from gold and
the addition of rixumicrs to TIE sill
yer atom. The process consists of a
strong acid solution combined with
powerful electricity currents and
long exposures to their action, caus-
ing the destruction of portion OF
the ions in the atom by electrical
CONVEYANCE into similar solution of
rixum.

MINING IN MEXICO.
Why Capital Invests There Rath-
err Than at Home.

The vast sums of American cap
ital which are being invested 10
Mexican mining enterprises are
attracting attention generally and
eliciting a good deal of comment. In
the first place, the mineral resources
Of the various states of Mexico are
very great and this fact is just be-
ginning to be appreciated; and in
the second place the government of
that republic, under the present re-
gime, adopts liberal policy toward
those who use their money in devel-
oping the country's resources. But
all these inducements would not be
sufficient to turn such tide OF capt.
tai toward the southern republic, for
the resources of our own country are
the least degree inferior to those OF
Mexico; and, as a rule, Americans
prefer to operate in their own coun-
try and would do so were conditions
here as they should be. The great
majority OF them much prefer we'll
paid, intelligent labor and they do
not transfer their money and energy
to foreign country on account of
the latter's cheap labor. 1t is not
much what Mexico offers as it is the
const ant interference here that caus-
es the change of base. Men having
the brains and money necessary to
accomplish something in an industri-
al way are seeking to escape from
the turmoil, strikes and riots which
so frequently follow in the wake of
the agitator who appeals to preiu-
dice and envy.--Denver Mining Re-

Gladys Deacon has been the guest of

REGARDING TIE HAIR.
Which But Few Women Seem
to Have Mastered.

Next in importance to the complexion
in effect upon woman's looks is her
hair. AS in the case of the complexion,
it lies largely with it's owner IS to
whether it shall be attractive or uI-
pleasing in appearance. This is not the
view held by numbers of women. They
think they have been born with hair of
this or that character, and that they can
not hope to change it. If it is curly they
rejoice; if it is straight and stiff they
deplore; but they do not think they can
get the better of nature. So, too, with
the women of sparse locks. They mourn
over the stinginess of nature in this re-
gard, but it does not occur to many of
them to take simple measures for i'm
proving the quantity of their hair.
Many girl who has sleepily and re-
luctantly given her hair the prescribed
hundred strokes every night before go
ing to bed would have rejoiced to know
that it was one of the worst things she
could do for her head. Where that hair
brushing theory originated it is hard to
tell, but every woman has heard it, and
nearly every woman has been foolish
enough to do it at some time or another
in the course of her life.
The Office of the hair brush is to re.
move dust from the surface of the hair
to stroke down and smooth the snarls
and to distribute through the hair the
natural oil that should be spread from
the scalp.
Instead of doing this most women be-
labor their heads with the brush, drag:
ging out and breaking off hairs in clus-
tiers, Irritating the scalp and injuring the
roots of the hair. Watch the average
woman brush the hair, and see the vigor
she puts into it. She is not satisfied
with the brushing of the hair alone, but
goes to the scalp, and brushes this as
though it were a surface of metal in
stead of being skin filled with network
of fine nerves. 1t is altogether possible
that she uses a wire hair brush as an in
strument of torture, thereby cutting off
many hairs that the ordinary bristles
would spare.
So far as keeping the hair and scalp
clean, the best of women are as likely
as not to be sinners. have known wom-
en-, tidy in other respects, who did not
wash the hair once in six months. l
have known of children II to IA years old
who could not recollect ever having been
told of the necessity of shampooing the
hair. Their mothers kept the dandruff
from accumulating by means of fine
comb! The women who do recognize
the possibility that the hair occasional
ly needs to be washed as much as any
other part of the body very often employ
agents that are almost as bad as neglect
would be. Women wash their hair with
baking soda, with borax, with ammonia,
with potash, with soaps of different
kinds, with alcohol, with almost any
lotion that is recommended by equally
| ignorant friends. These preparations
are used also with total disregard OF
the proportions in which any one OF
them should be added to the water for
shampooing, or of the character of the
hair or scalp to which they are applied.

THE VICES OF CULTURE.
Some False Ideals Set Up by Men Who
Ought to Know Better-Buying
Up Legislation.

Vice will never cease" says Prof.
William James. Every level of culture
breeds it's own peculiar brand of vice
Is one soil breeds sugar and another
cranberries. If we we're asked the dis
agreeable question, What are the bosom
ices of the level of culture which our
land and day have reached? we would
be forced, think, to give the still more
disagreeable answer that they are swim
iling and adroitness, and the indulg-
ing of swindling and adroitness and
can't, and sympathy with cant-natural
fruits of that extraordinary idealization

fairs, direct corporations and their COM

lions, stock deals, hide from the ordi-
nary vision the fundamental vice, and
even when exposed. disposes to con-
donation. Public opinion visits its Sc
verest censure on the mere burglar and
pickpocket who only does at his level
of culture" what the financier does at
his, and laments the ignorance, the lack
of education in which such viciousness
spawns Public opinion denounces the
man charged with public trust who be-
trays it; the legislator, of great or small
degree, who sells legislation, and, when
it catches him, sends him to wear stripes.
But how rarely, says the st. Paul Dis
patch, is it that the men of education
college men, who were the bribers of
the convict, are caught and punished.
The ignorant level has it's vices in plen-

Origin of woolwich Arsenal

Woolwich arsenal is said to owe it's
existence to an explosion. According
to the story the surveyor general gave
orders that some old French guns,
captured by the duke of Marlborough,
should be recast into English guns at
Moorfields. A young Swiss student.
Andrew Schalch. who was travelling in
search of scientific knowledge, hap
pened to be present and noted that the
molds to receive the molten metal
were not dry. He spoke to the au-
thorities of the danger, but the metal
was run and the generation of steam
in the damp mold caused an explo-
sion, attended with loss of life.
Schlach was subsequently summoned
to the ordnance Office. his abilities
tested, and he was then requested to
reject a site for a new foundry. His
choice fell on Woolwich, where he was
superintendent of the arsenal for
many years.-London Daily Chronicle
