 Bichloride of gold is substance formed by the action of chlorine gas on dry metallic gold in the shape of an im- palpable powder. Thousands of dollars worth of gold are used annually in man. ufacturing this compound, which is an admirable antidote for insobriety.
 It is curious fact, notwithstanding the extravagant vocabulary of the com pany promoter, no two mines in the world have produced either gold or silver at the same cost for any long period. Local conditions and often the personal intellectual equation of the mine man. agcr make it almost impossible to oper- ate two properties at the same cost and produce the same results,

Perhaps that subtle sense that enables them to now detect the presence of man afar off originated in the necessity of their remote ancestors exercising great precaution to avoid being crushed by the huge beasts. Perhaps the huge gla- ciers that overwhelmed the mastodons preserved the frogs for untold ages and enabled them to commence life over again when conditions had improved. At any rate, it is certain that the frogs of the present day, who must lie frozen as hard as pebbles during our long, cold winters, have an interesting history, if some one will appear equal to the task of rendering it into readable En- glish.
 There are so many fascinating thoughts relating to the fauna of this wonderful country that occasion will be taken to refer to the subject again, even at the risk of ridicule from those better quail fled to treat of the matter.

Faraday stated that crystal when preserved will never lose it's power of growth. If at any future time it is sub merged in solution similar to that in which it was first formed, the invisible molecular forces again assert themselves and the crystal slowly enlarges, pre- cisely as if there had been no interrup- ton. A crystal may have been pro- duced in some former geological period, many centuries ago, and yet upon being plated in a suitable solution it will be seen that the work of molecular archi- lecture is immediately resumed, just as if the intermediate ages had been blot ted out. The crystal may even have been almost destroyed in the interval of inactivity, and yet it will grow as before, provided there remains within it some small fragment that has the structure of the primitive crystal. Crystals also possess the power of self repair to q marked degree, so that if they are scored or bruised the subsequent growth is abnormally rapid over the injured areas, until the injuries disappear and the crystal resumes it's perfect form Mining World.

a new and little known country like Alaska. The first ones who write the histories of the vegetable and animal species in this northern land will gain fame according to the truthfulness and thoroughness of their work and may contribute an important part to the worlds store of knowledge.
 It is now pretty generally accepted that Darwin's theory of evolution and the origin of species applies to the vege- table as well as the animal kingdom. A few years ago in studying the cactii of the southwest an investigator found re- markable evidence supporting this be- lief. Experimenting along these lines the cactus of the desert promises to be transformed into one of the most useful plants In Alaska the native plants offer an amending field for study, and,
 
 botanist would seemingly afford unusual attractions.
 But it is in the animal life of Alaska that doubtless some of the strangest conditions will be found. It is pract cally certain that some insect species pass the winter with scarcely any pro- lection from the extreme cold and wake to extraordinary activity when warmed bv the spring sunshine. In splitting wood in winter it is a common thing to find the larvae of the ordinary pine beetle in logs that have been subjected, say, to 70 degrees below zero. They are soon as the frost is out of the timber in the spring these little fellows may be heard industriously plying their trade as carpenters. If they can survive be- ing transformed into bits of ice by temperature as low as that, what degree of cold would render them absolutely and irretrievably dead? If they warm into active life after seven months of frozen dormancy, would they do the same if the cold should be prolonged for seven years or seven million years?
 The bee family is well represented here. Sometimes, at least, they make little honey-which, perhaps, they store in their chambers under the moss be- fore going to sleep in September or De- tober, in order that they may partake of a dainty breakfast when they awake in May or June. Bluebottle flies appear on the south sides of cabins in April, while the ground is still covered with snow and while the nights are still cold. They are specially active in amorous pursuits. Can it be that they remem- ber the high inks they carried on the year tseiore2 fl one of them had got covered over by glacier thousand years ago and was to bc released by the melting oi the ice, would he rub the

will show conclusively the existence of an
agreement among those identified with the

which the price of alcohol is arbitrarily
and unlawfully fixed. and that under the

READY TO RAISE SUBMARINE
Divers See Bodies of Dead Through
the windows of the
Matches.

BIZERTA, Tunis. Oct. 21.--The divers
working on the French submarine boat
Lutin. which went down off this port
October 16 with fourteen men and two Off
GERS on board. today succeeded In digging
a tunnel under the stern through which
a hawser was passed These operations
were conducted under the personal supervi-
sion of NJ. Thomson, the French minister of
marine. A heavy chain has been placed in
position under the submarines bows and
the preparations for lifting It are now
complete.
All efforts to remove the bodies from
the Lutin have proved vain. Through the
windows of the hatch divers have per-
ceived two corpses with arms interlocked.
The position of these two bodies is such
as to make 1t impossible to open the man
hole and therefore ingress to the sub
marine cannot be had. The two bodies seen
from the outside cannot be Identified but
there is reason to believe that one, clad
IN white shirt is that of Lieutenant
Fepoux, commander of the Lutin.
The weights of the submarine, with the
exception of those on the starboard bow,
are in position. The starboard weight has
been broken OFF and with its fastenings
lies on the bottom.

LIGHT REPORT NOT READY
Absence Of Councilman Aaloney Delays
the Work of the Committee.
SOME DIFFICULT PRosLEMs TO SOLVE
Additional Arc Lights 60 BE Located
and Plan IL 20 Change Location
of some of the Present Lights.

1t is doubtful II the committee on fire

arrangement of the city lights under the
new contract with the Citizens Gas and
Electric company ready 10 be submitted
to the city council at lts meeting tonight.
Councilman Msloney has been away attend
ing federal court at Keokuk and only re-
turned yesterday. his absence preventing
the committee, getting together.
Under the new contract the city will
have a number Of additional lights and
the distribution Of these is one OF the
matters on which the committee has to
report. In locating these new lights Mayor
Macrae IL anxious that many as pos
sible should be placed in the business por-
ton of the city. In this he has the sup
port offs some of the eounciImen while
others want to secure al many new lights
as possible for their wards. The mayor
takes the position that Broadway. at least.
should be well llghtes from First street
70 the Illinois Central crossing near Thir-
teenth street. Pearl street and Main street
from Broadway to Sixteenth avenue. he
contends. should also be well lighted. al
though not requiring perhaps as many
lights as Broadway. which Is the main bust
ness street OF the city.
The question of substituting thirty-two
candle power incandescent lights for the
b arc lights in the residence portions of the
city is also a question under considera-
ton. Mayor Macrae IL a strong advo-
cate of the ineandescent lights for residence
streets. Last summer the experiment Of
substituting incandescent lamps for the arc
lights was made and with the result that
residents OF the neiRhborhoods where they
were placed preferred them TO the arc
lights.
Under the new arrangements OF the lights
It IL suggested by some OF the councilmen
that as many as possible OF the light
towers be abandoned and the arc lights.
Of which there are four on each tower,
he distributed in the vicinity. 1t Is argued
that better results could be obtained by
the distribution of the four arc lights and
q bigger area lighted. The four arc lights
on the tower of the county court house,
II is. oontended. are practically worthless
while IL strung along Pearl street would
he much more efficient.
The committee has also under considera-
tion the relocating OF some Of the present
lights Quite a number OF the arc lights
are located on the outskirts OF the, city
where Il is claimed but few people derive
any. beneht from them. while more thicky
populated portions Of the city are without
