The Russian clergy have no social

the place the Church of Ireland
clergy occupied about say, the
fourteenth century.
Sermons are rarely preached, in
the Russian churches. There are
books of homilies from which the
clergy may read. but these komilies
are so very lengthy. ornate and
elaborate that the people refuse to
listen to them. As a rule, the
clergy are too ignorant to compose
their own sermons, and il tLey do

severely alone. The Russian priests
never pay parochial visits excep

have never gained the confidence

GOLD PLACERS
OF SIERRA NEVADA

In 1S49 an army of gold seekers
the Observation-Disclosures the
Sierra Nevada of California.
They worked first along the
present streams but gradually
traced the metal to the old
Tertiary river beds on and summit
of the ridge and to the quartz
veins, the primary source of all
the gold in the Sierra. Millions
of dollars were produced annually
up to the seventies of the last
century, but since that time, owing
to the prohibition of hyraulic
mining and the gradual exhaus-
tion uf the richer channels suitable
for drift mining, the industry has
slowly diminished, until now less
than Sl,OOO,OOO is produced
annually.
More than $500, 100000. has
been produced from these placers,
and an account of the natural dis
tribution and origin of this gold
was recently published by the
United States Geological Survey in
Professional Paper 73. by Walde-
mar Lindgren. The first edition
of the monographs report on the
subject was almost immediate
exhausted but the volume has been
reprinted and is now again avail
able for free distribution.
Referring to the present placer
gold reserve of the Sierra. Mr..
Lindgren says: Gold is still
contained in the Tirtiary channels;
miles of them are still unworked,
but the problems are how to
extract it without damages to
other property form the debris
and how to reduce cost Of drift
mining so as to permit the ex-
ploitation of the less remunerative
deep graves" In this connection
Mr.. Lindgr@n has traced the old
channels and has prepared and
included in detail the Tertiary
drainage lines.
The decrease in hydraulic
mining is partly Offset by new
dustry-dredginR, which has
been developed along the bottom
lands flanking the range, and from
this source during 1908 gold
valued at nearly s7.OO0,OoO was
recovered.
The gold found in the larger old
river channels is about the size of
flaxseed, most of the nuggets
having been found either within or
near quartz veins. In general the
channels yield from $40 to $500 to
the linear foot, which may be COM

Alaska, $3.50 in the White channel
in Klondike. and $44O to 1929 in
the Berry diff mines in Victoria,
Australia.
The total output Of gold in Cali
fornia is estimated at $1,000, ,OOO,-
600 to 100000, 900, about one
fifth of which has been derived
from quartz veins, $500, 000,00
from the Tertiary gravels and the
remainder from the Quarternary
deposits.

Sa'Su iaot year ny liHely rains mas
enabled her to take gold. India is
the one nation immemorially given
to boarding.; the peculiar thing
about its gold imports is that they
practically never come out again.
The gold thus hidden is merely
following the fate of the silver
which mainly India used to buy
and bury. Che duty Of eight cents
an ounce on silver imports, placed
in 1910, has manterially assisted u
natural tendency of increasing
wealth to defect the fondness Of
India from gold to silver.
When India barred its mint
against silver, it was assumed that
the native was so welded to the
white metal that no handicap or
consideration of prices could
weaken his allegiance. The ex-
perience of the past three years
shows that the assumption took too
much for granted. Gold crept
and then rushed in. 1t is now a
considerable element in domestic
circulation. The Calcutta govern
ment has asked permission to begin
coming ten-rupee gold pieces: this
would put gold in all the bazaars
we'll within the reach If the great
bulk of the 3l5, 100000 natives
who now find the sovereign too
big to handle. Such step would
sharply accentuate the power of
India to swallow gold whenever
her harvests were good.
The sellers of wheat in India
have lately been accepting gold
for their produce, retaining most
of it. The wealthy and the we'll
to do in India have been putting
by vereIgns at an increasing
rate. If the peasants are now to
emulate that example, may not the
margin of the worlds new gold
left for Europe and America after
art and industry are supplied.
prove at times disconcertingly
slender? May not Occidental bank
reserves be insidiously exposed to
strain at awkward seasons? On
the other hand, may not the direct
effects of gold augmentation upon
commodity costs in the western
world be impaired by this drain of
the metal into Oriental seclusion?
1t will thus remain an interest
ing question as to how far gold
will displace silver in India affec-
tions. To date, however, silver
has aintained its firm demand. and
it is Indian spectators who have
been most instrumental lately in
running up the price. Apparently,
to some extent. the Indian gold
demand has been superimposcd
upon that for silver. In this con-
nection the interesting surmise is
advanced in England that the new
China may yet buy much of the
present silver holdings of India,
just as India bought the silver of
France when the latter took the
new gold of California and
Australia; then indiaS may provide
herself with more gold. Or will
the 750. 100000 people of botn
countries raise silver to surpris.

gold, India keeping her gold as
luxury?

HEAVIEST EARTHQUAKE IN U. S,

HEAVIEST EARTHQUAKE IN u. S,
Reference to the New Madrid
earthquake harks back a great many
years. and there are doubtless
m any who are not aware that
during 1911 and 1912 the most
severe earthquake in the history of
the United States was recorded in
the central Mississippi valley. The
catastrophes at San Francisco
and Charleston are famous because
of the loss that they caused and
suffering that followed in their
wake. In severity and extent of
disturbance, however. they are
not to be compared with tina t
which occurred principally in
southeastern Missouri, northeastern
Arkansas and western Kentucky
and Tennessee during the year fol-
lowing December 10. 1911. The
Charleston and San Francisco dis
turbanCes were acutcIy felt because
they affected the congested popula-
tion and the structures in twu
large cities. The New Madrid
earthquake left no marked I'M
preston on the history of the
country, because although far
more severe and prolonged it oc-
CURED in a sparsely settled and at
that time unimportant region. The
destructive period of the San Fran
cisco quake occupied only few
minutes; hat in the lower Missi-
ssippi valley persisted at intervals
for more than a year and held the
few residents in n constant state
of terror or apprehension.
The history of the New Madrid
earthquake has until recently been
widely scattered in the writings
of many observers whO were in or
sufficiently close to the region to
record the events. Several authors
have pulishCd brief accounts Of the
occurrences. In Bulletin i94 Of
the United States geological sur
vey very complete record of the
events distracted from previous
writings, and a discussion of the
effects have been brought togther
by MyrOn l.. Fuller. This bulletin
is Of marked interest to the read
ing public but it also has n high
scientific value in that it makes
an important permanent addition
to Tho readily available earth
quake records and literature.
