which case you have the whole
secret in your own hands and
need no confldant. Here is the
process that the United States
Bureau OF Mines advises:
Take a Photographic plate and
wrap 1t in two thicknesses Of
black paper. This Of course, is
to be done in dark room. On
top of the wrapped-up plate lay
a key, or coin, or any metallic
object possessing a characteristic
outline-the key is usually en-
ployed. Then suspend directly
over the key a specimen of the
suspected rock, or ore, weighing
at least two or three ounces. Do
not let it press upon the key or

Finally put the entire apparatus
inside a light tight box. OF
course, the whole proceeding must
take place in the dark room,
with no more illumination than
that furnished by photogra

possible of that. Leave the box
untouched for three or four days;

She sighed because the children tore
Holes in the stockings that they
wore;
At breakfast time she mourned her
lot
Because the coffee WASN'T lot;
She had a headache every night.
But did she try as best she might
To still be cheerful? She did net.
She found her sorrow hard to bear
Because he was no millionaire;
She chided him day after day
For failing to draw a bigger pay;
When he came home in need Of
cheer
Did she, all radiant, appear
To give him sweet assurance? Nay,
She made complaints about her cool
She always had hopeless look;
She wished for things he couldn'
buy;
She told him she'd be glad TO die
And thus escape the ills she had;
He sometimes thought he would be
glad
IF she could have her wish, but why
/ She often scolded him because
Some men were richer than he was
When they were asked out anywhere

He never saw her smile nor heard
Her say hopeful, cheerful word
But it was all his fault-so there.
