Culloch, Glasgow boy, who arrived
In Australia just 60 years ago, with
less than S25 in his pocket, and who

Is how Mr.. McCulloch threw away his
first chance of acquiring a fortune:
One night, sitting in tiny shanty at
the foot of the Broken Hill mine, soon
after its discovery, he played a game
of eucher with a companion, his stake
being the fourteenth share of the
mine itself He lost, and the share
which thus passed out of his hands

$6,250,000.

SpongY Chromium.

Chromium In remarkably new
spongy form has been produced by BIZ
net de JassonieX by heating cast chro-
MUM containing Is per cent. of boron
In an electric furnace with large
mass OF copper. The ingot shows the
whlte' Spongy metal in the midst of
the copper. When the latter is dis
solved out the dried residue is a bril-
liant. spongy mass of nearly pure
chromium in the form of interlaced fill
amcnts or cryr'"Iites grouped like
snCwtiakes or moss leaves. The small
amount of boron present may be driv-
en- off by heating. The spongy chro-
MUM is attacked more easily than
the ordinary metal, does not oxidize
in air. but in flame burns like finder,
glows very brightly in oxygen and in
attacked by hydrochloric and sulphur
&c acid, but not by nitric acid.

Psychology In Clothes.

DIR. Thomas Claye Shaw of London,
speaking on the subject of the special
psychology Of women, says that there
is n psychology in clothes. 1t is use
less to say that they dress as they
do to please other women or please
men. They dress simply because they
have to in their own way and to their
own satisfaction. The psychology Of
dress Is that it appears to make you
be what you profess to be.
