GOLD NUGGETS.
They Will Blister and Explode When
Heated In a Bunsen Flame.

Heated In a Bunsen Flame.
BY what process is nugget of gold
compacted into form I'm which it Is
found? Sometimes mass worth
more than $1,000 Is found. In an
swer to the question there Is cited the
attempt of an Investigator in Austria
liza to ascertain. the workings Of ma
ture in this respect. This investiga-
tor. says the Science Siftings, cut and
sliced and polished gold nuggets with
the sole purpose of ascertaining just
what was their structure
The first thing he discovered was
that there is one curious point of re-
semblance between nuggets and me-
teOrites. Both when polished and
etched with chlorine water exhibit a
crystalline structure.
In the case of meteorites the lines
thus exhibited on the etched surface
are called Widmanstatten figures, and
their presence is held to be one Of
the most invariable characteristics OF
those metallic bodies that fall from
the sky to the earth. But 1t is not
meant to be implied that gold mug
gets have fallen from the sky be-
cause they exhibit a crystalline struc-
ture recalling that of meteorites. The
resemblance Is apparently only super
fetal, and the crystals of the nuggets
differ In form from those of the me-
teorites.
Another curious fact is that when a
nugget Is heated in n Bunsen flame
explosions take place on its surface
Blisters are formed WHICH continue TO
swell until they burst with sharp re-
port, and bits Of gold are violently
scattered about. 1t Is evident that the
nuggets contain either gases or some
liquids or solids which are easily con-
vertcd into tho gaseous form. the cx-
pansion Of which produces the eXplo.

Over His Present Representations.
Washington, June 3.--Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
learned from President Wilson's own
lips that the United States will ex'
pect a declaration of principles by
the German government before there
can be any discussion of facts in re-
gard to the German submarine opera.
tions.
The German ambassador also
learned that President Wilson stands
firmly upon the statements contained
in his note to Germany; that he will
take no step backward and that in
this stand he is representing the wish
es and judgment of the American
people.
The German ambassador has dis.
patched to Berlin long report on his
talk with President Wilson and on
the feeling in this country in regard
to the German reply to President Will
sons note. This communication was
sent through the American state de-
partment the president having extend.

storff as a means of insuring quick
and certain communication with the
German government.
Won Bernstorff Favors Cancellation.
The German ambassador in his re.
port has endeavored to impress upon
the Berlin authorities the seriousness
Of the situation and the earnestness
of this government. If the German
foreign office follows the advice Of
Count Won Bernstorff it will adopt a
more conciliatory attitude toward the
United States.
The meeting between President
Wilson and the German ambassador
was entirely cordial and the discus.
sion which took place between them
was very frank. The German ambas.
sador came away from the White
House hopeful of the future but no
optimism was apparent in administra.
ton circles.
The failure of the administration to
put any larger measure Of confidence
in the conference with the German
ambassador apparently grew out OF
the fact that Count Won Bernstorff's
personal efforts and views had failed
to influence the Berlin authorities in
their preparation OF the reply to
President Wilson's note. Further.
more the German ambassador had
sought the interview with the presi.
dent on his own initiative and not as
the result Of instructions from his
government. He had no new propos-
ais to make on the part Of the Der.

the list of chose who love the Lord, :"
to answer, Then write me one who
loves his fellow men"
The order teaches it's members
many ways Of exemplifying this
thought One of these is charity.
"And now abideth faith, hope, chart
ty, but the greatest of these is chart
IT," It is the Elk who says that the
greatest act toward q. brother is to
show charity charity in two ways,
one, that which gives help to the
needy, and the other, that which does
not remember faults. The Elk eye
is that friendly one which does not
see faults.

TIE ElkS a
Great Order

Right here should it be set down
that the motto Of the Elk's order is
this: "The faults of our brothers we
write upon the sands; their virtues
upon the enduring tablets of love and
memory
The order aims to bring that teach
ing before it's members at all times.
When good can be said Of person,
an Elk is always there to praise, but
if criticism, abuse and blame are to
be told, the Elk is not present. The
Elk is busy trying to help, not to
harm. ~
He believes in liberal purse. He
seeks to help those who are in need
from sickness, poverty or other mis-
fortune. The order is quick to re.
spond to general appeals for help and
it will be found that there is as boun-
teous giving as that coming from any
other organized charity. The public
knows when the Elk's lodge puts it's
name down for contribution, but
does not know of the many other
times, when help is extended in quiet
secluded directions. The amount of
charity work done by the Elks indi-
vidually and as an organization, is far
beyond the conception Of the average
person It is the Elk who appreci-
ates and gets close to the poor. In
this way the Elk comes to know who
the needy are and what help will do
the most good. It is because the
Elks understand humanity that they
are able to reach out in all directions
to lend a helping hand.
The Elk's order is not one for soci-
ability only. That impression Is far
from correct. Every lodge has its
home, where clubdom prevails, but
the club life is not the all-important.
Not that an Elk does not believe in
fun. He does, and most emphatical-
ly, but it is square, wholesome fun
that the order teaches. An Elk wants
the whole world to have fun and en-
Joy life. An Elk believes in optimism
hope and good cheer.

good, and to help, better and strength

Because Bismarck will see and hear
much of the Elks this week, it is
well to consider what this great or
der stands for.
The Elks believe in brotherly love
and charity. They believe that these
two principles tell the story of right
living.
The Elks are brotherhood in the
fullest meaning of the word. Not
only are they. banded together as
brothers, but their cardinal belief is
in the brotherhood of man."
