POWERFUL WATER JETS.
The Enormous Force Of Streams With
No Other Power Than Gravity.

In some parts of the west there are
great banks OF pebbles and boulders
In which gold Is to be found. II is not
there as nuggets, or even as ore. but
as hne particles that have been wash
ed down into the depths OF the hills
BY the long-continued action Of natur-
al forces.
This gold cannot be obtained by the
usual methods Of the miner; II would
not pay him TO adopt them, because
the particles are so fine and are so
scattered that the time consumed In
getting them out would be worth more
than the product.
To the successful workings OF these
great pebble cliffs the miner has
adapted a stream Of water. which
does the work thoroughly, unaided by
any force except its own.
In many directions, away up on the
surrounding hills, sluices and water
ways are constructed. so that the little
streams and rills will send their
waters down to n reservoir which Is
I built somewhere within 300 or 400
yards of the cliff that is To be worked
and 100 to $50 feet above IT, The
TteeT'OlT, HhNiHB peeu DuIlt, dn nOn
pipe. varying In diameter from six 10
twenty inches. according to the work
| that Is to be done, is laid from IL to
what Is called the working level; that
Is to say, to the point from which the
workmen will direct the stream thus
conveyed to them.
! At this point a piece Of machinery Is
built, which weighs from one to three
tons, and the frame on which II rests
is not only securely anchored TO the
ground. but Is weighted down with
ten or fifteen tons Of rock And yet II
Is merely n nozzle Joined to the Iron
pipe that brings the water from the
reservoir. Why II is so heavily weight
ed down will soon be seen.
The nozzle. heavy as II Is. is so con
structed that II may be directed a
any part OF the cliff by the hands oi
one man; and yet. II II should. by ans
unfortunate accident, get out Of the
mans control, and the water be mo-
instantly turned of at the reservoir
Il becomes as unmanageable as 2
torpedo.
The pipeman turns the stream or
the cliff. and pebbles and boulders
some of the latter weighing more thar
a ton, are knocked down and scatter
ed about like corks IN the fury OF
hurricane.
The force Of this stream is almos
incredible. II has no power behind II
but It's own gravity. and as II strikes
tho cliff II makes a roar that may b'
heard for more than a mile. II will
wash down more pay dirt" In one da!
than 10000 men could handle with old
fashioned rockers"
As the water comes from the nozzle
Il is like solid ice. Try to stick
lnife blade into 1t and the knife will
10 jerked from the handle. Try q
thrust crowbar into it-and a stroni
ran may succeed In getting the poin
half an inch I'm. but the bar will b.
wrenched violently from his hands
Nor could the strongest man tha
, lives drive an ax into the strean
further than half an inch.
Sometimes a nozzle VIII tear ltse'
loose from It's fastenings. and wnei
that happens the stream deals dc
struction and death all around II until
some one shuts on the water at tn
reservoir. oir.--Philadelphia Record.

Men Blush More Than Women.

One of the most ill-founded OF all
popular delusions Is that blushing is
the special characteristic OF the fe-
male sex, the New York World Com
mercial declares. As a matter OF fact.
except In the case OF very few young
girls, men blush far more readily than
women. The well-bred woman never
bushes at all, while II is matter oil
everyday experience that In the ex'
element Of business or political dis'
cussions mems cheeks redden with
very little provocation. Whatever may
have been the case hundred years
ago, tho modern woman shows her
emotion. not by blushing. but by turn
ing pale.

HARPooNINo ALlEoAToRs.
APeriious Sport In the Great Cypress
Swamp.

S"""fs
Alligators move rapidly under water,
are hard to see. harder to hit, and the
harpoon will penetrate only the least
accessible portions OF the body. Nor
does the title to the hide necessarily
pass fifth making fast the weapon.
One afternoon, In the Cheesehowitz-
kee river. harpooned a large alligator
which towed me up and down the
stream for an hour or two and then
sulked In It's deepest part. pulled on
the line until the boat was directly
over him and stirred him up with the
harpoon pole. He rolled himself up
on the line. In the manner peculiar TO
sharks and allcgators, and banged the
boat suggestively. We rowed to the
bank and. making fast TO some bushes,
hauled on the line until we succeeded
In worrying him nearly to the boat,
when he rose to the surface and at
tackled us with open mouth. We re-
PEELED tho attack with harpoon pole
and rife. The former was promptly
bitten I'm three pieces, but the latter
apparently finished him. =. was 40
nearly dark tnat we decided to carry
him in the skin a mile down the
river to where our sloop was anchored.
and to skin him the next morning. We
broke the seats out Of the boat, and to.
gether managed to lift the head Of the
alligator aboard and tie II. We then
tried the other end. when the reptile
came to life and landed q blow with
his tail which lifted me out II the skin
into the saw grass. with the breath
knocked out Of my body. and hand and
face badly cut by the grass. Boat and
boatman were capsiZed. AS my rifit
had fortunately been left upon the
bank, | was able TO kill the alligator
again. We secured him by fioatinf
the boat under him and then bailing Il
out. The alligator completely fllec
the boat, so that my companion and
sat upon his back as we padded dowr
the river with gunwales, unpleasant,
near the water.
IL was growing very dark and tn,
water around us was becoming aliy'
with alligators. While we were re
fiectIng upon our overloaded condition
our alligator came 10 life again ant
shifted ballast until water poured owe
the gunwale. We quickly balances
the boat, only to see II again disturbe'
