Properties of Gold,

Pure gold is unaffected by the atmos- phere either at ordinary temperatures or when the metal is heated. It is also proof against the action of common acids when used singly. Moreover, it confers it's properties more or less upon copper and silver when these metals are alloyed with it. Thus, for example. twelve karat gold will withstand the action of nitric acid and the atmos- phere at ordinary temperature, but some of the copper will be oxidized during annealing. Nine parts of gold may be alloyed with ten parts of plat mum in an ordinary crucible and fire. but such an alloy will not be uniform. A larger proportion of platinum will free itself from the gold on solidifica- tion, and homogeneous alloy of the two metals cannot be obtaned.-Jewel- CTS CircularW Weekly.

Dickens and Schoolmasters.

Dickens, with something 1n his dis position peculiarly sympathetic toward children, was a bitter foe of any one relative, teacher or ofScial guardian who tyranniZed over them. A writer in the New York Post points out that he seems to take special delight in eX- posing the fnis,tecis of mercenary and cold hearted padagogues. When ones notice" says the Post, lis first directed to the attention the novelist gave to schools and their methods, 1t is inter- esting to try to recall the number men toned.

Wood er Anchors,

The Basques, a strange race inter mediate between French and Span !ards, have for all time been great fish. ermen, and some of their craft and seagoing gear are totally different from any other known types. Perhaps tue most remarkable relic of bygone civilizations is the primitive wooden anchor still in use among them and to be seen in the fishing settlements round Biarritz, Guethary or St. Jean de Luz. These wooden anchors are in all prob ability of the identical type in use among the Phoenicians twenty centu- ries ago. The wooden anchor is rough hewn out of three branches, so fasten- ed to crossbar, also of wood, as to in close great stone of twenty or thirty pounds weight. Here is cheap but effectual anchor for comparatively light boats. It can be made on the spot, and 1t entails little loss if, in sudden squall, it has to be left imbedded in the rocks

Snake Worship.

Python worship or the worship O. snake gods is still practiced in parts of the west coast of Africa. In Da. honey and Ashanti there are temples where pythons are kept to receive the adoration of the. people. The snakes are not confined to the precincts of the temples. Small holes are left in the inclosing wall, through which they pass and sometimes make themselves very much at home in the houses of found word is sent to the temple, the priests come and with many apologies to his snakeship pick him up and car ry him back home.

Before the Bar.

The terms admitted to the bar" and "before the bar" are of English origin. The 'bar" in question is the barrier or railing which separates the judge and the other officers of the court from the rest of the courtroom. In earlier days the parties to suit presented themselves before this bar, accompa- nied by their counsel. A lawyer, after keeping the required number of terms at the inns of court and passing sat titled to appear before the bar on be, half of client, or. in other words, he was admitted to the bar The Eng. fish word "barrister' suggests the tech nical meaning of this word.-Scrap Book.

Cold BIooded AnimaIs.

The so called cold blooded animals vary from the warm blooded in the particular that their blood changes temperature in accordance with their surroundings. The temperature of a fish will be almost exactly the same as that of the water around it, possibly one or two degrees higher. A snakes temperature is higher in summer than in winter. the average being S2 de grees. A birds average temperature is 1O7. The average temperature of the mammals Is 101 degrees.

AQUEDUCT WILL
N EED THOUSANDS
Engineers, Construction Clerks, Store
keepers and Surveyors Will
First Be Engaged on
Big Contract

After changing examination dates
several times the civil service commits
sion yesterday decided to let Examiner
Adams of the commission and Chief
Engineers Mulholland and Lippincott
of the Los Angeles aqueduct arrange
the dates for examinations at Los An
geles and Mojave.
At first the board asked for dual ex-
aminations at both points in order to
get all the material that could come all
the way here to Los Angeles to make a
trial, and it was deemed best to send
examiners to the edge of the desert at
Mojave.
The aqueduct board needs engineers,
construction clerks, storekeepers, sur
veying hands and similar employees now
and will need thousands if the bond
issue carries June 12 as it is believed it
will if every voter goes to the polls.
Engineer Lippincott yesterday asked
that the rules be waived in the case of
S. B. Norton of Yuma, Ariz, who has
worked for him before. Norton wishes
to take the examination for construc-
ton clerk and has already passed two
federal examinations.
The first week in June will witness
the first of series of aqueduct examin-
ationS.

Members of the Kings Highway I'M
provement association of the N1ntn
ward Yesterday filed forcible protest
against the conduct of some youths
near the Brooklyn Heights nelgnpor-
hood and asked for more police boxes.
Chief Kern remarked that the Nlntn
ward had more electric lights and more
other things than any of the waros'
"And more men working on the
streets" added Mayor Harper. Guess
we will have to refer this to Fop
Blanchard" ,,.,
The protest was signed by Alfred Will
holt for the association and was nllaliy
referred to Chief Kern.
The letter was as follows:
Some time ago we asked for more
police in the Ninth ward, which you
granted. But the patrol boxes are SO
far apart that 1t leaves the sectlon Gil
tirely devoid of protection.
"There is a gang of hoodlum boys
who congregate at Brooklyn avenue and
Echandia street each evening and make
life a misery to decent women and law
abiding men.
"They disturb our meetings, they
have thrown rocks through the windows
on both sides of the street and they use
language that would put any woman
on Commercial street to shame.
"They lay around the park by the
schoolhouse and await the coming out
from school of the girls with WON they
can talk or flirt. They curse the park
men who demonstrate.
"They are teaching the younger boys
who follow them; in fact they make this
section worse than Cholotown.
1--WE have made complaint to the
police judge through a committee. He
failed to act or give us any satisfaction.
"Unless you place a patrol box at or
near Brooklyn and Echandia street in
the near future some outraged husband
or father is liable to be fined for slap
ping the head off some of these boys,
who range in age from IA to 20 years
and who seem never to sleep.
81 am directed by this association,
composed of some of the best citizens of
the city, to write to you. I have no
time now to tell you of all their mean

COMPLAINING WITNESS IS
COMPELLED TO PAY FINE

George B. Brown had Ray Horton
arrested for an alleged beating of a
little boy and the case came up before
Justice Fredrickson yesterday. There
was much neighborhood history
brought to light by the talkati wit
nesses who appeared. 1t was said that
Horton was playing ball with little
boy and when the lad threw the ball
wild the bigger fellow refused to chase
1t. Then they began to mix things up.
The evidence showed that they did.
After much deliberation the justice
decided that the complaining witness,
Brown, should pay the costs, $500, and
the tempest in teapot was quelled.

VAST WEALTH OURS
UNITED STATES RICHEST COUN.
TRY ON EARTH.
'Outstrippng Anything That Ever Has
Been Known in History Is the
Measure of Uncle Sans
Affluence.

The United States is the wealthiest
country in the world In the brief
span of its young life this infant ma
ton of ours has broken all records re-
lating to the accumulation of riches.
and we are beginning to think Of bill
lions instead of millions. Take it any
way you like, and the measure of our
ladiuence outstrips anything that has
ever been known before, says the New
York Sun.
, Our country has more actual money.
more gold, a larger volume of exports.
greater banking facilities. richer
farms, more productive mines. more
imillionaires, more well-to-do trades
men, more independent farmers. more
highly paid laborers and a greater dis
,tributon of the luxuries which riches
bring than any other nation has ever
enjoyed since time began.
One day last October Uncle Sam
had gathered into his money store
house in Washington the greatest
amount of gold ever collected at one
place in the history of the world
gold representing $S71 ,S93.S99. This
was indeed a high-water mark. We
had there in one little room more gold
than was in circulation in Great Bri-
tain.
The largest receipt ever given. the
greatest money trust ever undertaken
in history, was when the present treas
urer Of the United States. Charles H.
Treat, went into Office. He receipts to
Ellis H. Roberts, the retiring treas
urer, for all the money and securities
in the vaults of the treasury. a total
of Sl,259,59S,27S.5S 1t required from
July l to September 5 to count the
money. and at the completion of the
task the accounts balanced to a frac-
ton.
! The costliest governmental estab-
lishment in the world is the British
navy upon which a billion and a half
has been expended within the last ten
years. Yet three individual Ameri-
cans-Rockefeller. Carnegie and Clark
could have paid the whole bill and
still have some pocket money left.
The United States is now spending
about hundred millions a year on its
navy, and we are new at this kind Of
expenditure. That we are not invest
ing more than we can afford is shown
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1907-03-14

by the fact that our display-lovine
iv"iaen spent 100000. 600 for dia-
monds purchased in foreign lands dur
ing the last two years. In fact We
are so rich that the sales of produce
and manufactured articles that we are
sending abroad each year is equal TO
a sum sufficient to support all the
igavies in the world
when II comes I'm individual wealth
we have a dozen citizens who are
worth more than all the kings and
rulers of the world taken collectively
,r severally. The car of Russia is
ycputod to have a greater income than
any other living man. but his private
fortune is so mixed up with the GOV
ernmental revenues that it is impossi-
bic to separate them. If a distinction
icould be made John ID. Rockefeller
could undoubtedly make a comuarison
with the woakspined Nicholas. and
show the biggest pile. The Russian
monarch's wealth is the accumulate.
of an empire. centuries old in the mal.
ing, while the Ohio oil magnate can
remember when he had nothing.
: To say that the total valuation of
the wealth of the United States is
SlO7,o0O,0O0 600 is not understandable
hundred billion dollars is such q
pile of money that the simple mind
cannot grasp its meaning on the ir-
slant II is more than twice the total
amount of the wealth of the United
Kingdom. Of France. or Of Germany:
and over three times that Of Russia
or of Austria-Hungary. Probably the
best way of Illustrating the actual ex-
dent of Uncle Sans riches is to state
hat If he could convert all his assets
into money he would have nearly four
times as much as would be required

all the governments in the world. in
