VERY SLOW RACING.
It Is When Oxen Are Pitted Against
Each other.

A race that in a peculiar sense is not
to the swift is one hat Is run, If the
word may be used In such q connection,
every year in the provincial district OF
Germany.
Early In May, during the celebration
of a festival that to a certain extent
corresponds to the English May day,
an OK race is held. The entrance fee
is small; but the conditions are pc
culiar. Each OK must be ridden by its
owner, and ridden bareback. No whip.

track, but across a large open field.
skill of the rider are severely tested.
Speed Is a secondary consideration In
this race; for the rider who can induce
sure to win The start is made at one
side of a field a mile square,: the finish
at the opposite side.
When the competitors are lined up
and the signal is given the fun begins.
Despite the efforts of the riders. the
majority of the oxen refuse to head
tators are allowed in the field. and are
at liberty to do anything they wish to
interfere with the rider except touch
him or his mount, the difficulties of the
race are not inconsiderab1e.
AS Is well known, oxen are not as a
rule excitable beasts; but when they
are confronted by the shouts of the

well as the exciting efforts of the
riders to control them. they are soon
wilderment. 1t often happens that an
hour has passed before one of the oxen
has succeeded In getting under the
wire"
But when once the task is accom-
plished, the winning rider is fully re-
paid for his pains. His OK is sur
rounded by the enthusiastic spectators
and decorated with garlands and flow
ers, and the lucky owner receives a
cash prize.

THE T t MARKET.

NEW YORK. Sept e.-The cotton

New Orleans crop report. while the CEN

prices eased of several points from

GLUE'Ss cOMPoSITIoN
Not a Natural Product, but Has to
Undergo Transformation.

Glue Is not a definite, positive, organic
substance. as most people suppose. says
Woodcraft. Chemists tell us that glue
does not preexist In any animal organism
except under abnormal conditions-as In
dlsease-but is the product of several
transformations.
drying the hide. If a green hide is boiled
after being prepared In exactly the same
Kramer by lining, etc, while it is yet
green, an entirely different product of less
hide after lining and then boiling.
The second Transformation seems to take
place In boiling the material, probably
from action of the heat. The third trans
formation occurs In the drying of the jelly
secured in the boiling operation.
Still another transformation occurs in
the drying Of this jelly into actual glue,
and this series OF changes does not end
here. for glue dissolved in water and again
boiled sufficiently long loses Its form once
more. and will not geiatinize, but will
remain in liquid form.
Glue yielding substances are produced
by the animal economy from protein
bodies. albumen. (fibrin and casein. The
impossibility Of preserving for any length
of time the stock from which glue is made
renders It necessary to adopt some sys-
tenn in choosing and preserving 1t until
sufflcient quantities are collected without
fermentation or decomposition. Hence the
clippings OF hides, ear and tail pieces OF
OK, calf n sheep, and from skins OF
fother animals, are preferred. because they
can be dressed with lime, which removes
the hair and acts as an a%ntiseptic.
The ordinary zone stock glue Is made
from the larger bones of cattle, and horn
piths collected from different sources. If
these have not been overheated and are
In good condition, d considerable amount
Of glu can be obtained from them. The
bones from the head. ribs and feet Civ

There is also the hoof glue which Is
made from the hoofs OF different animals
Then there Is glue made from sinews and
neshings, and also a grade known as rab-
rabbits.
The age Of animals yielding glue stock
has an important influence on the product.
While from young r animals the produc-
ton. as a rule. is OF a lighter color. more
and more easily obtained, II
contains more chondfin. so that for soiu-
tons OF equal strength those from mature

MANUFACTURING GOLD.
Enormous Tracts of Rock and Soil from
Which It Can Be Produced.


The time has come when gold is an
article of manufacture. There are prac-
tically exhaustless tracks of rock and
soil in which gold is being produced in
enormous quantities with absolute elm
ination of risk, says a writer in Sue
cess, who considers two typical in
stances Of gold manufacture" either
one of which is sufficient to doom gold
as a medium of exchange.
In 1884 the discovery Of the greatest
deposits of gold in all history was made
known. This was in the Witwatersrand
district of the Transvaal of South Az
RIGA. Compared with 1t the famous
Comstock mines were nothing. Not
until recent years has it been possible
to go ahead in the extraction of the
billions in gold which are scattered
through the ock and soil of the Wit
watersrand. 1t required new processes,
but science and invention supplied
them. Here is a gold-bearing reef,
forty miles in length, twenty miles in
width, and in which borings to a depth
of $500 feet show gold in undiminished
quantities! How much gold is there il
the Witwatersrand? Hundreds, proba-
bly, thousands of billions of dollars of I'll
The. Witwatersrand conglomerate car
ries only the insignificant amount of
ten pennyweights of gold to the ton,
but 1t runs uniform, therefore 1t Is only
a question of machinery and labor to
determine the yield. Money supplies
the machinery, and China the labor.
The annual production of the Trans
vaal gold factories now exceeds $780,
900, 600. and the record Is broken every
month. If labor can be had, there ia
no reason why the output should not
reach half a billion a year, and the
rock can be worked for centuries with
out making a serious impression on It's
vast extent. *
Not many years ago 1t was discovered
that all of the soil in the Sacramento
and San joaquin Valleys was filed with
gold. We will consider what is being
done in the Sacramento. For hundreds
Of miles this river runs through a broad
valley of a width varying from twenty
to more tina one hundred miles. When
1t became known that gold wal scat
tered through the soil of this 10000
square miles of valley. capital called on
science and invention for assistance.
The distant mountains were made to
furnish water power for electricity.
Then there was built a floating gold
factory at a cpst of $3.50, 900. It took a
position near a ban of a river, and
with it's dredging appliances began to
eat its way into the soil. The mud and
dirt were carried over the huge scow,
the gold extracted, the tailings were
dumped In the rear. Thus was Wit
messed the strange sight of a factory
crawling slowly overland toward the
distant foothills. 1t rested in a canal
of its own making; it was run with
electrical power generated by a noun
tain brook; it worked twenty-four
hours a day with three shifts Of men;
the mount of gold extracted was as
uniform as the thrust of it's motors; its
mine was ar ocean of mud, there was
no more romance about its operation
than there is about a brickkiln, and
yet the $780, 900 gold factory made a net
profit of $500, 900 the first year

MIR. MURDOCH LOST.
His Efforts to Have Railroads Paid
Only for the Mail Hauled
Failed.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The postof-

ever reported by the committee on
postoffices and post roads, passed the
house Wednesday. All the provi-
sions relating to increased pay af-
.fecting 80 per cent of the postal en-
ployes which Tuesday were stricken
out on points of order, were Wednes-
day restored to the bill. This action
was accomplished by a rule presented
by the committee on rules after the
ill had been reported to the house by
the committee of the whole.
By a vote of ~ to IA the chair was
sustained in recognizing the point of
order made against the amendment
offered by Mr.. Murdoch of Kansas that
no part of the sum paid for transport
ing the mails by railroads shall be ex-
pended in payment when the average
weight of mails per day has been com
puted by the use of a "diyisor less
than the whole number of days such
mails have been weighed"
Mr.. Murdoch declared this amend
mcnt did not change existing law, but
was a Limitation. The chair, however,
held otherwise and his decision sus'
tanning the point was supported by the
house Mr.. Davis of Minnesota, Mr..
Finley of South Carolina and Mr..
Campbell of Kansas favored the
amendment and it was opposed by
Mr.. Snapp of Illinois.
