Possible Reasons for Objections.

Reading between the lines Of his, ,veae-
ment protest. I suspeo. that the reason for
objecting to his habit OF kicking OF his
boots and putting up his feet to rest may
have been the unattractive body OF the
mere man he prides himself upon being,
as the outer coverings were removed. Let
that pass Such things are in certain
homes A man with ideals that make work
a sacred duty through which he can ex-
press his ability and talents. and who re-
CARDS the financial results as means to the
end Of working good for others as well as
himself, will not despise the efforts and ac-
complishments of his family who have
worked as many hours Of the day as him
self-worked for him and for others
He could not refer to all the moneyed
earnings as exclusively his. Nor could he
ignore the fact that. by human and divine
laws, he owes living TO his wife and
family. II he do not provide for them we
have the warrant Of Holy Writ for pro
nouncing him to be worse than an infidel.'
They are not paupers, and he sins against
law and gospel in looking upon them as
beneficiaries who ought to be grateful TO
him for the clothes they wear. the food they
eat and the roof over heir heads.
In laying down his letter. say. God
pity them, Not because he sits down to
the table with them without a coat upon
his overheated. steaming body. nor because
he wants to take his rest in his parlor with
his unshod feet upon a chair. but because
the communication shows that he is lack
ing in justice, kindness, generosity, cour-
tesy. and thoughtfulness for those about
him. His friends and associates. II they are
unkind in lack Of consideration for their

INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE
Gold of Great Value in the Aggregate
Is Recovered Through New
Process.

In California gold mining the sep
arating apparatus of the most modern
type of dredge is mounted on the al
steel body of a specially adapted shov-
ell car, on trucks resting on railroad
track laid ON the bedrock. These
trucks are very heavy and are so de-
signed as to provide, while digging. a
bedrock base of twenty by twenty-six
feet.
The dipper, called in foreign coun-
tries a bucket, has a capacity of two
cubic yards, or over, and speed limit
of about two per minute. 1t can swing
the whole circle, says the Rosary Mag
azine, and can make cut fifty feet
wide.
1t digs, when required, eight feet
below the track, opens and closes auto
matically at the right points, taking
in everything from grass roots to bed
rock, including boulders two and
half feet in diameter, which readily
pass through treatment, and handling
those Of five tons weight with ease
and celebrity.
The proportion of microscopic gold
contained in placer ground is astonish-
ing. Black sand from the waste from
an undercurrent or sluice, after all
gold had been extracted that could be
saved with rifles and quicksilver was
used in ordinary placer operations. al
most always shows the presence of
microscopic gold. Incomplete tests Of
surface gravel below the mills at Black
Hawk, Colorado. indicated that nine
tenths of the gold was Of microscopic
fineness.
The truth is that the bulk, certainly
not less than rs per cent. of all the
gold in alluvial deposits. consists of
bits SO small as to be not only en-.
tirely unsavable by any of the de.
vices employed in the past, but. ex.
cepting perhaps a very small percen,
tage, invisible to the human eye. The
dredge and the modern separator are
now extracting this gold and adding
it to the worlds supply Of the precious
metal.
