forms growing and dividing in
gelatine are helium bubbles from
disintegrating radium is far from
convincing. new theory from Mr..
W. A. ID. Rudge, another British
physicist, is that the growths form
only when sulphuric acid is present
and as result of the diffusion and
precipitation of barium or other
element forming insoluble sulphates.
Most radium preparations contain
much barium. The pew experiments
have shown that when the gelatine is
freed from suIphuric acid no growths
are produced by other elements, but
that even water from the street mains
contain sulphates enough to- start
radiobes in gelatine containing rad
ium salts.
A novel bone grating operation is
reported from Egypt by DIR. Voronoff
The removal of tumor left a large
mole in the rear of the skull, and
instead of inserting the usual metal
plate the surgeon decided to try
piece of the shoulder blade of a live
sheep. The wound healed promptly,
when the accurately fitted graft was
found to be perfectly joined to the
surrounding skull.

Exaggerated Reports.

Never has California loyalty and
we may add, good sense-been so put
to test as by the catastrophe that ha:
torn the very heart of the Colder
State, and. sad to say, it was hel
young men who we're found wanting.
Because they were "bone of her bone
and flesh of her fiesh,'' they were
clever enough to do the dastardIy
things they have done, and bIindly
they struggled to show just how
clever they were, regardless of the
fact that every sensational untruth
was another blow to a city already
stricken, and a smirch on California IS
fair fame Every college bred youth
with literary aspirations saw IN this
earthquake chance to WELD the
muck-rake of sensational English,
and the stencil stirred by these young
pen farmers has not yet abated. 1t
will be long before California re-
covers from the fire that laid San
Francisco low. But it will be longer
before she can recover from the
effects of the bombastic untruths of
her adolescent literary sons.
One Oakland chap, of whom better
things might have been expected,
wrote description of the San Fran
cisco disaster for New York journal.
He has since been given a position
on the staff of the great eastern daily,
and in his eagerness to show himself
sufficiently equipped for the then
coveted position he made little of the
fire-which, though the greatest in
history, was only a fre-and took for
his trial theme the earthquake,
more susceptible to distortion, its
very uniqueness adding to its inter
est. In the midst of an awful inferno
he saw nothing but the effects of the
earthquakes; to his sensation seeking
eye every fallen chimney was wreck
ed building, every tiny crack vast
chasm. AS his young mind thrived
on yellow matter, he sought for
buildings worthy of his mettle, to
tear down; so he took a tilt at the
Call building and 10! it quivered and
swayed like some grand old giant
oak, and then, powerIess against so
strong an imagination, measured it's
length across Market street, burying
thirty or forty people in its ruins
OF such us these is the kingdom of
heaven not made, but the Lord Ioveth
them just the same, when they work
cheerfully.
For the benefit of the stranger
whose eyes may rest on these columns
it is stated that the beacon light
which has glowed nightly for years
from the dome of the Call building,
still shines like star of hope from
early dark to dawn, and that the
floors are being rapidly replaced on
the steel girders that we're barred by
the fire, but undistrubed absolutely
by the tenn blor. Oakland Once A

A Hundred Years to Come,

Oh, where will be the birds that sino
A hundred years to come?
The flowers that now in beauty spring
A hundred years to come?
The rosy lip, the lofty brow,
The heart that beats so gayIy now?
Oh, where will be Loves beamlng eve.
joys pleasant smile and Sorrows sigh
A hundred years to come.
Who'll press for good this crowded
street
A hundred years to come?
Who'll tread yon church with willing
feet
A hundred years to come?
Pale, trembling age and fiery youth
And childhood with its brow of truth,
Ihe rich and poor, on land and sea-
Where will the mighty millions be
A hundred years to come?
We all within our graves shall sleep
A hundred years to come.
No living soul for lis shall weep
A hundred years to come.
But other men our land will till,
And others then our streets shall fill,
While other birds shall sing as gay,
As bright the sunshine as today,
A hundred years to come.

A Unique Invention.

Arthur Mills and E. F. Smith of
Mt. Aukum we're in Placerville
Tuesday, and expected to remain for
a few days. They are preparing to
organized company to manufacture
and introduce the gasoline wagon
recently patented and tested by Mr..
Mills, which has been briefly de-
scribed in these columns.
Mr.. Mills has a blacksmith shop
in Amador county, near our bound
ary. He is the inventor of wagon
having four wheels, all of the same
size and revolving on axles, the
machine being driven by an. ordinary
gasoline engine. The machine was
successful at the first trial, making
trip to Sacramento and back, sur
mounting very easily the grades on
ordinary mountain roads, and getting
around the curves with ease, pulling
load equivalent to that of from
four to six horses at an expense of
about $3.50 per day. The machine
was coupled so that it was about
twenty-one feet long, and carried
loads as we'll as pulled them, but in
spite of its great length it could be
turned in any space where wo-horse
wagon can be got al round.
Nothing like this vehicle is to be
found in the United States, or pro-
badly in the world, at the present
time, and it ought to have a great
field of usefulness. Ell Dorado Re-
publican.

whereabouts of any relatives of Samuel

The Greatest Gem
Mine in the World.

The sapphire workings at Yogo
Gulch, Montana, are being gradually
developed into great and permanent
mining industry, says George +. Kunz
in forthcoming report on precious
stones, published by the United States
Geological Survey. Taken as
whole, the Yogo dixie is perhaps the
greatest mine in the world. 1t is
about four miles long on the surface,
and being a true igneous dixie, de-
scends to an indefinite depth. 1t is
estimated that the entire content of
workable sapphire bearing rock would
approximate 100000 cubic yards.
mining plant is now being erected
here which will quadruple the pre-
vious output and make Montana
sapphire mining a very important
factor in American gem production.
The stones obtained are not of large
/ size. They range from "culls." used
for watch jewels and other mechanical
purposes, to gems averaging. when
cut, from half carat to two or three
carats and rarely up to five or six.
As gems they are brilliant, tree from
flaws and of good color. ranging from
| light shades to the rich, deep blue
of oriental sapphires. Ihe Yogo
crystals have an advantage for
mechanical uses over East Indian
stones in their form, which is laI gely
short prismatic or rhombohedral with
fiat basal Examinations, and hence
they need much less cutting for such
purposes as watch jewels. The gems
are sent to Amsterdam tor cutting,
and yield from two -fifths to one-half
that weight of finished stones.

BRYAN STICKS TO SILVER.

Bryan is making a vain attempt to
dodge silver. In the latest issue of
his Commoner the leading editorial
bears the ominous title of "In the
Spirit of 1896" Several things are in
the editorial which also call up un-
pleasant associations for his party.
'Dem mocrats have no disposition to
forget the Chicago platform, it says,
. for that platform represented in
1896, even as it docs to-day, the real
conservatism of the country. Owing
to the unprecedented production of
gold, the money question is not and
will not be discussed In detail, as it
was in the Chicago platform, but the
underlying principle of oimetaIlism,
the quantitative theory, has been
amply vindicated, and is now general
ly recognized
This talk about "the spirit of 1885,
will check that rush of gold demo
Gratis over to BIyan's side. His devo-
tion to what he calls "the underlying
principles or bimetaIlism' shows that
he has recanted nothing. He stands
just where he stood IN 1896, except
that he intimates that for the moment
it will not be expedient to make any
open declaration in favor of throwing
the mints wide open to the coinage of

ounce in a few months. The Bland
coin is no longer 45-cent dollar.
1t is now a 51-cent dollar. Silver to-

a 52-cent or 55-cent dollar by 1908.
If the present rise is maintained to
