| The black sands of the Quesnel
river, in the Cariboo district of British
Columbia, contain some platinum and
osmiridium. These metals have not re-
ceived much attention, owing to the
difficulty of saving them.
DR.. G. r. Eastman of Harvard
calls attention, in Science, to the "as-
tonishing longevity of the popular de-
at the present day give credence, that
living frogs, toads and other animals
are sometimes discovered in hermet-
ically sealed cavities in tree trunks
and rocks. After quoting number
of remarkable instances of these al
legged discoveries, Doctor Eastman says
that little reflection shows, from the
very nature of things, that such tales
are incredible and that those who
vouch for them must be mistaken in
their observations, as the most sharp
sighted persons are deceived by the
feats of prestidigitator.
An idea which has occurred to many
minds since the first "harnessing" OF
Niagara Falls, was clearly put by MT.
H. w. Buck in a paper read before
the Engineers society of Western
New York 1t is that most OF the
electric power obtained from the TAILS
will be used within few miles OF its
place of origin instead of being trans
mitted to distant cities. In otner
words, Mr.. Buck believes with Profess
sor Brigham that at and near the falls
Will be situated the future industrial
center of America. 1t would be theo-
retically possible, he says, to transmit
power from Niagara as far as san
Francisco, but the cost would be pro-
hibitive. 1t is much cheaper to locate
factories near the falls.
In order to represent strikingly and
yet correctly many Of the minute
forms of animal life found in the
water, for exhibition purposes, the
plan has been adopted of making glass
models by the aid of the microscope
The models represent the animals as
they appear when highly magnlhea,
and many of them are Of great beauty.
The Museum of Natural History IN
New York, says the Scientific Amerl-
can, possesses a considerable NUMBER
of these beautiful representations or
miscrocopic animals made by a skill
full glass worker under the direction
of Doctor Dahlgren. Many OF these
minute forms are as transparent as
clear glass, many are beautifully tint
ed, and their colors are initiated in
the models.

DUSTY MILLER STATES
 OTHER SIDE OF STRIKE

Dusty" Miller does not think the Bir- mingham players who struck" Tues day have been anything like justly treated by Manager Vaughan and does not hesitate to express himself in em- phatic language.
 "Of course,' said Miller last night, T don't presume to speak directly for any body except myself, but I know that I have been most unjustly treated. I was suspended for five days because l was sick In bed for that length of time and my pay for these days was taken from me. I can prove that l was sick in bed by the clerk of the Colonial hotel, the bell boys and Delehanty and Ragan, the players who saw me.
 Now, about this drinking business," said Mller-"Vaughan had better make vast improvement in his own conduct in

 SIGNING NEW PLAYERS

wet grounds prevented the last game of ths season scheduled between the Barons and the Firemen. which should have taken place at West End park yesterday afternoon. Jupiter Pluvius was real kind to the Barons under the cir cumstances, as Vaughan's crippled CO., terie would have hardly been able to cope with the Atlanta team under the circumstances. There may be an off day later on. however, which will per init the Barons to play the game.
 From early morn to dewy eve yester- day Manager Vaughan was working the wires vigorously in efforts to locate some new players to take the places of the deserters. Atohison, an outhelder, who has played great ball for the Chattanooga club. of Tennessee and Alabama league this season, was signed yesterday to take Hennesseye place. Oscar Street the BIT minsham boy released by Memphis few days ago, will probably take Ra-

 Now, to correct another slight mis- take made by Vaughan. He says that Hafford, Hennessy Moore. Ragan. Dele- hanty and myself came out to the park in the afternoon in a body. That's another one. because l went to the pary alone and found Hennessy and Moore there and later on Ragan, Delehanty and Hafford came out.
 "It was just case of taking my money away from me after l had earned it, and 1 suppose the other players all felt the same way. but I don't presume to speak for anybody but myself.
 I'm going to my home in Cleveland, O., tomorrow night" said Delehanty. "and what Miller says goes double. That means it goes for me too.

NOTHING NEW IN
 BASEBALL STRIKE
PLAYERS WHO QUIT TEAM STILL OUT AND ASSOCIATION REMAINS UNYIElDlNG-NoT HEARD FROM PRESIDENT KAvANAUeH.

There were no new developments in the baseball strike" yesterday in so far as the striking players were concerned Manager Vaughan and the local asso- citation remained firm and the chances are that the striking players will have ample cause to regret what they have done before the leaves begin to fall and the season closes.
 No reply to the telegram sent to Pres ident Kavanaugh by the local association was received yesterday, but this may be explained by the fact that Judge Kavanaugh Is probably attending the meeting of the moguls of the American Association of Professional Baseball clubs, which is the organization of minor league clubs for the protection of their own interests, and which meeting is now being held in Cincinnati.
 According 10 Manager Vaughan and the other local magnates there is no possible chance for the disgruntled play CTS to be reinstated, and the Brming- ham magnates are being backed up by public sentiment on all sides.
 One enthusiast, who has been classed in the knocking brigade nearly all the season, fairly expressed the general sen- ument yesterday when he said:
 Eve been q knocker for the last two months and, when I come to think about it, for no especial reason. l suppose l am consttutionally built that way, but from now on I am a booster from Dan to Bersheba. l can't stand for such treatment as has been given the baseball lovers of Birmingham by those half-dozen players who evidently thought they could make us all get on our knees to them. It's boost, boost and boost with me from now on and I believe about everybody feels the same way"
