GOLD FOUND IN OLD BRICKS.
Walls of Mexican Adobe Houses Yield Treasure for the Men
 Who Know.

There are many remarkable towns in Mexico. but none more interesting than Guanajuato, .The Hill of the Frog" It might more properly be called the "gold brick to~n," for the houses have been found to contain much gold.
 This is curious situation, but it came about naturally. Guanajuato- pronounced Wah-nah-wahto-is one of the oldest mining towns in Mexico, but the value of the place as town was discovered when railroad com pany decided to build station there. 1t was found necessary to tear down about 300 adobe buildings, which were made of the refuse of various mines after the ore was extracted.
 When 1t became known that the old adobe buildings would be torn down pieces taken at random were assayed. 1t was found that because of the old process, which lost much gold and sill yer, they assayed from g to S24 a ton. The mean value was estimated to run about eight dollars gold ton.
 The old buildings have brought about s3O. 900 Mexican in gold. and persons who have built since the new ma chinery has been installed in the mines are bemoaning the fact that the new houses do not contain as much gold as the old-Scientific American.

New Method of Keeping Potatoes.

A German publication. "The Prac- |tical Adviser in Fruit Raising and Gar
 dening," states that a new method for keeping potatoes and preventing |sprouting consists in placing them on a layer of. coke. Dr. Schiller of Bruns- wick. who has published the method, Is of the opinion that the improved ventilation by means of coke is not alone responsible for the> result, but believes that irsts due to the oxidation |of the cole. which. however. is very slow one Coxe always contains sul- |phur, and 1t is very possible that the minute quantities of oxides of carbon and sulphur. which result from the OK |idation. mixing with the air and pene- |trating among the potatoes are sufi- |cient to greatly retard sprouting. Pc |tatoes so treated are said to keep in good condition until the following July.

CIRCUS CHILDREN.
The Making Of Acrobats Begins at an
Early Age.

The Making OF AcrooatS 6eQtne N an
Early Age.
1t Is nothing unusual for the larger
circuses to carry thirty and forty chill
dren, ranging all the way from mere
babies to boys and girls Of fifteen and
sixteen years Of age. The majority
are travelling with their parents. both
the father and mother doing daily duty
in the ring. and while often they are
trained to follow In the steps of their
elders they are seldom allowed to per-
form in public.
It Is a common belief among circus
men that the performer whose training
IL not started until utter the age OF six
will seldom make distinctive record.
Following the afternoon show | often
saw groups Of boys. some OF whom
could not have been over four and five
years old. practicing rudimentary SOM
ersaults and hand springs while their
parents looked on with gratltied
smile. These were the families OF the
circus aristOcracy. who treasure the
records Of their ancestors with the
pride OF son In his fathers sword and
who see no more inspiring calling for
their own children than that OF the
great white canvas.
Not that their education Is neglected
In other respects. Several Of the IN mi
lies often hire an Instructor perhaps
