HAS RIGHT TO CALL
 ELECTION, SAYS O'NEAL

Montgomery. Ala, Aug. 9.-Gover- nor O'Ncal declared today that he is still of the opinion that he is author ized by law to call special election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Jos. F. Johnston.
 "The authority for the election eX- ists on an Alabama status, which says that vacancies ill office created by law shall be filled by special elec- tion," said Governor O'Neal. "i could issue a proclamation Monday for a special election and have senator elected by September l5, the date on which. understand. the tariff bill will come up for passage. Democratic primary would be useless in case of an election. There is no danger of a Republican being elected. Their votes are inappreciable." f Governor O'Neal will leave tonight for Birmingham to attend the funeral |pf Senator Johnston. He will probably reach no final conclusion until he has conferred with the members of the Alabama delegation attending the fun eral.

GOLD NUGGETS.

There 10 . Curious Resemblance ee
 tween Them and Meteerites.
 How do nuggets of gold originate Sometimes a mass of the precious met al worth thousand dollars or more is found. By what process was so much gold competed into lump?
 An attempt was made not long age to answer this question. An investiga tor in Australia cut and sliced and polished gold nuggets with the sole purpose of finding out just what iS their structure. The first thing he dis covered was that there is one curious point of resemblance between gold nuggets and meteorites. Both, wher polished and etched with chlorine wa ter, exhibit a crystalline structure h the case of meteorites the lines thus exhibited on the etched surface are called Widmannstattian figures, ano their presence is said to be one of the most invariable characteristics of those metallic bodies that fall from the sk, to the earth.
 But 1t is not meant to be implied tha, gold nuggets have fallen from the sky because they exhibit crystalline struc ture recalling that of meteorites. The resemblance is apparently only super fcial, and the crystals of the nuggets differ in form from those of the me teorites.
 Another curious fact is that when 6 n, fC fo1 {N plosions take place on it's surface. Bis ters are formed which continue tt swell until they burst with sharp re port and bits of gold are violently scat tered about. It is evident that the mug gets contain either gases or some iiq uids or solids which are easily convert cd into the gaseous form. the expan sion of which produces the explosions -Harper's Weekly.

 Among them, of course. the mos' familiar is the Welsh rabbit, which ir It's original form was merely toasted cheese. Some folks declare that the name is a corruption of ''rarebit." but this has never been proved.
 Then there is the golden buck, which Is Welsh rabbit with a poached egg on top. Chinese rabbit is a Welsh rab bit with rice in 1t. and Mexican rab Dit Otherwise known as Spanish rabbtt contains tomatoes and onions
 So much for rabbits. But how man, people are familiar with the Cape Cod turkey? Plenty in New England where codfish goes under that name.
 Scotch wo0dcock is two slices of hot buttered toast with an anchovy or each slice ana a sauce made of half g pint of milk and the yolks of three eggs poured over them.
 Less familiar perhaps Is Englist monkey. which is made by soaking ; cupful of breadcrumbs in cupful o1 milk and adding a tablespoonful ot melted butter. beaten egg and half q cupful of grated cheese, the whole with salt and pepper added. being poured over toasted crackers.
