 Ques.-Will you please give me . few pointers on how to master geology or to study it alone during the winter?
 MINER
 Ans.-Hunt up all the books you can find pertaining to the subject and de- vote few hours each evening in try ing to master them. Try to apply per sonal experience to the theories ad- vanced in the books, for they should go hand In hand, and in this way you can understand many things, which those never having had any experience in practical field work never do.
 There is no royal road to learning the science of geology but attention, observation and experience, and the latter will ultimately enable one to learn very much about the nature of ores and minerals. Experience, in the majority of cases, is the foundation of the knowledge obtained by so-called 'quartz men, meaning prospectors, who have had years of practical work or have made minerals their life study, with nature as their teacher.
 If one should ask ''quartz man'' how to recognize the different kinds of ore or minerals found while out pros- pecting, the following. in nine cases out of ten, will be his answer: "If the specimen is heavy, look out for lead, and if it is also yellowish it is pretty sure to contain lead. If it is moderate. ly heavy, and is yellowish, brownsh or reddish in color, you are sure to have more or less iron. If very black, prob. ably manganese. If blue or green, look out for copper; that is, if it has q dull, earthy color or appearance. If, however, it has a brassy color it will contain iron pyrites, and if more golden-yellow. with . rainbow appear. ance, it contains copper pyrites. Ii the color is leaden, there is galena. Ii bFhitish lead color, it is blend"
 This is all true, and one of the ways to recognize minerals in the field, bu, needs the experience of a so-called 'quartz man" to be able to apply them. The following are very good books to study: Dana's "Text Book o Geology" also his Manual of Geol ogy," and Rutley's Study of Rocks. ,
 Ques.-When were electric ligh hts in vented? D. R.
 Ans.-I believe it dates back to 1S46 when Faraday made the discovery tha, light could be produced by the separa tion of two carbon rods, containing electricity of considerable intensity.

 try during the past two three months and this process goes steadily on. The Scandinavian peoples full of sympathy for their Finnish neighbors and uneasy for their own future, It seems incompre- hensbe that the should persist in policy that much bitterness, with little correspond ing advantage to his empire. It is, of course, be said-from the point of view of the Russian au- tocracy-that the existence within the empire of a contented and prosperous sef-governng province like Finland is dangerous sort of object lesson. But the object lesson has stood for so many years that it has already served its purpose To crush Finland at this late day will not make it any easier to maintain the Russian system elsewhere.
