SHOWS THAT GENERAL CHARLES LEE
AFFRONTS MRS WASHINGTON.
Apropos OF Mrs. Washington, curious bit
of gossip is revealed in a letter OF General
Nathaniel Greene, dated from Trenton, N. j.,
December II, l77S and addressed to the
American general, William Alexander Lord
Stirling. The letter, which deals at length
with conditions in the commssary department
of the army. concludes with this interesting
paragraph:
General Lee and Col. Lawrens had a duel in
which the former was wounded in the back. he

tell.
The Col Lawrens" referred to was Colonel
John .Laurens, the "Bayard OF the Revolution
aid and secretary to General Washington, ana
his chief means OF communication with the for
eigncrs in the American service. At the bat
tie of Monmouth Laurens is said to have saved
the life of the commander in chief by his in
trepidity. 1t was at this battle that the
treacherous conduct of General Charles Lee
provoked fierce outburst Of wrath on the part
of Washington. Lee was tried and found
guilty of msbehavor before the enemy. His
insolent and offensive remarks regarding
Washington, on learning Of the decision CT the
court martial. caused Laurens to challenge and
fight him duel. in which Lee was wounded
in the arm 1t is not unlikely that Lee, who
had venomous and ungovernablc tongue, re-
ferred to Mrs Washington in his remarks.
Colonel Laurcns ives killed in battle in the
Carolinas while serving under General Greene.

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

They Will Blister and Explode When
Heated In a Bunsen Flame.
BY what process is a nugget Of gold
compactcd into form in which it is
found? Sometimes Il mass worth
more than 5000 is found. In an
swc to the question there is cited the
attempt Of an Investigator in Austria
lia to ascertain the workings Of ma
turc in this respect. This inyestiga-
tor, says the Science Siftings, cut and
sliced and polished gold nuggets with
the sole purpose of asccrtaining 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 mcteorites 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 hat when a
nugget IS heated in 4 Bunsen fame
explosions take place on its surface.
Blisters are formed which continue to
swell until they burst with a 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-
verted into the gaseous form, the ex-
pansion Of which produces the explo-
sions.

CHESS IS NOT so SLOW.
Fifteen Moves an Hour 10 the Rule In
Championship Games.

What Is the average length of time
that a chess player in an international
championship contest takes to move!
Among mere human players there
are many traditions Of how these peers
of the game scorn to make u move in
less than all hour; nay, more, how they
consume whole evenings and often
times days in Il single move. Such
tales are rife in rural chess circles.
Now, III hard fact, these supe:l'lay-
ers move more rapidly than the cv-
cryday expert. The common limit in
international championship matches is
fifteen moves AN hour; Il player failing
to get within this limit loses the game
no matter how commanding his posi-
ton; an average Of four minutes to the
move is considered ample time. In
deed. when C"ulli:llitl challenged
I.ilSkcr for the worlds championship
he was held To he justified in refusing
L;iSkcr's condition tllat the limit be
heightened to twelve moves an hour.
In championship games Il chess clock
is always used. This has two dials.
each dial controlled by Il plungcr. I'M
mcdiately after black his moved white
strikes his plungcr, Which starts the
hands OIL his dial recording time. Al
tue instant he moves he strikes his
piun:srr again. lE:llin- the mechanism.
Black then strikes the l,lun@cr Of his
dial, starting his clock in turn. The
dialS thus record the net time cach
consumes in moving.
Of course in practical play the con
tcStant gets more than the four min
utcS. The first eight or ten moves are
almost always book plays. made in less
than Il minute each. This allows much
time as credit on later moves. Fur
