Curious Method Of Mining.

The increasing depth to which it
is necessary to go in following the
vein of kaolin, or potter's clay,
mined near the Housatonic River in
Connecticut, recently caused the in
PRODUCTION of novel method of min
ing. Wells from fifty to nearly 200
feet in depth are driven, and two
pipes. the outer four inches and the
inner two inches in diameter, are
introduced. Water at a pressure of
forty pounds per square inch is
forced down through the smaller
pipe, and rises through the larger
one, bringing with it about five per
cent. of solid matter, of which seven

ECONOMY IN GAS.

1t is little short of marvellous now
many women who pride themselves
on their economy will waste dollars
in one direction to save pennies in
another. A good instance of this can
be seen in the way so many go on
using single saucepans on gas or
gasoline-stoves, simply because they
have them, never seeming to realize
that they are wasting more every
month in the additional fuel con-
summed by keeping fire under each
separate pan than the cost of the
double or triple cooking utensils for
use over single rner.-Harper's
Bazaar.
