immense Output Follows Discov-
 cry of Meta. in California.
For Eleven Years, From 1850 to 1861, the Yield Was Prodigious, Amount ing in 1852 to Over
 $65, ,ooo, ,ooo.

Washington. historically i'm portant discovery of gold in California was made in January, 1848, at John Sutter's mill on South Fork of Ameri- can river, near Coloma, a point only ten or fifteen miles southwest of the town of Auburn" says statement by the geological survey.
 From 1850 to 1853 the greatest yield was derived from the gravels, and the largest annual output for this period was more than $65,00O,0O0 i'll 1852. There was some reaction in 1854, due to previous wild speculation, but production of about $50,000,000 q year. chiefly from placer mines. was maintained up to 1861.
 At first the gold was won chiefly from the gravels along the present streams. Those who first got posses sion of the rich bars on American, Tuba, Feather and Stanislaus rivers and some of the smaller streams in the heart of the gold region made at times from $1, 1000 to $5,000 day. In 1848 $500 to $700 day was not un- usual luck; but, on the other hand, the income of the great majority of miners was far less than that of men who seriously devoted themselves to trade or even to common labor
 "The gold pan, the rocker, the tom the sluice and the hydraulic giant, or monitor named in the order of increasing efficiency, were the tools successively used by the miners. Into the rocker and the tom the miner shoveled gravel or dirt rocking the machine as he poured in water and catching the gold, often with the aid of quicksilver, on rifles set across the bottom of his box. Sometimes stream was diverted into Hume to lay bare the gravel in it's bed so that the miner could get at it.
 Tn sluicing, the gravel was show eled into a similar but much longer box through which stream of water was allowed to run.
 'The hydraulic giant was employed to wash into long riffle-set sluices i'm mense quantities of gravel, especially from the higher (Tertiary) deposits

NO NEW JOBS AT PANAMA
Canal Office Warns Unemployed Not to Seek Work at
 lsthmus.

Washington. blockade of the Panama canal by earth slides has not created new work for Americans in the Canal Zone. and the canal office here issued statement in an effort to counteract published reports which have drawn many Americans to the isthmus in search of employment.
 General Goethals indicates" the statement says, that the number of men continually being laid off on ac- count of reduction of force is in excess of the vacancies which were temporar- fly created by the work on the slides, and the influx of men looking for em. ployment on the isthmus is entirely un- warranted"

of capsicum, known in Serbia as pap rika," there is little need to sell, the produce in order to buy other com
 modities. All these and others are
 stored in the cellars, but in the kitch-
 ems of the one-storied houses, which
 are the general rule, bacon, hams and
 salted meat are hung up to dry and
 to mature.
 Although the houses in the country
 are not very large, there is still provi-
 sion made for the guest, who may be
 a perfect stranger but who is welcome
 to the hospitality which is tradition
 with Serbians in the same way as it
 used to exist ,in the Scottish High. lands. The industries of Serbia are
 small, as compared with agriculture
 and this unfortunately is the result of a settled policy, which until recent years was enforced by the governing classes. When Serbia comes to her own again after the present war, much in the national life will be changed; :; the old order of things will have passed away and the development of other industries besides those associ- ated with agriculture is certain to take place.

most elaborate and, for that matter costly character.
 Christmas ceremonies also are very elaborate and are reminiscent of Pa gan rites. One of the customs is to cut down tree in the forest, and iii falling it must lie to the east. In every household such a. tree is cut into three portions, and is looked upon as being sacred and not to be touched There is much throwing of wheat which has a certain symbolic signifi canoe, and the log is then placed or the fire, while, at the same time, the inevitable pig is roasted for a feast The ceremonies continue during Christmas day, which is given up to feasting, mingled with religious ex hortations, and only come to an end when the night is far advanced.
 People Are Superstitious.
 As nation the Serbians are ex tremely superstitious, and this fea. ture runs through the whole of their national customs, whether it is in the Aoy HE Out Ol O. uOuSC Ol III Luc pISpd ration for death; but the Serbian farmer does not fear death, as he usually prepares the boards for his own coffin and keeps them in readi- ness in his house.
 In the country villages it is the GUS tom to give kind of feast five times in the year for the souls of departed heads of households, and food and drink, including wine, are placed on the graves and afterwards given to the poor. It is high holiday for the beggars, and they are not slow to take advantage of the occasion.
 In the country districts there is very little use for money, as the farms, be ing small, are utilized for the produc. tion of food for the winter, and this consisting as it does, largely of wine brandy produced from plums, sauer. kraut, potatoes, onions and the pods

MORE JOBS THAN CHEMISTS
Scarcity of Engineers Shown at cc Iumba University Since Out
 break of War.

New York Since the outbreak of the war and the resulting increase in chemical projects in this country the demand for chemical engineers has grown so rapidly that the companies are finding it difficult to fill the many places that are now open
 Indication of this was given at Co., lumbia university when Dean Fred erick A. Goetze of the graduate en- gineering school reported that he had received a call from mining com pany for several chemical engineers familiar with the iron and steel in dustry, but that he has been unable to find any of the recent graduates who were not already well placed.

T(HE kingdom of Serbia is one
 of the smallest in Europe, and
 has been very slow in devel-
 opment. Greater progress, however, has been made during the last ten years than for centuries be- fore. The area of the country is 33,- 891 square miles, the population being over four and a half millions, mostly protesting the Greek orthodox faith. The inhabitants are largely devoted to agricultural pursuits and, as conse- quence, there are very numerous small farms in existence which belong to the farmers, and by the law of primo geniture descend from father to son. Although there are two large towns, Belgrade and Nish, most of the popu- lation is rural, and 85 per cent, at least, are engaged in agriculture; {; but it is of primitive kind, as may be witnessed any day on the small farms referred to where the wooden blow used in the days of Xenophon may be seen in daily use.
 This primitive state of agriculture is largely due to the absence of any organization or systematic agricultur- al education. Modern methods have only been introduced in a tentative way during the last ten years, but there are no agricultural colleges yet in existence, although there are a number of model farms which are sub SidiZad hv inc state and in which technical instruction in dairying, fruit farming, silk cultivation wine growing and similar subjects is given. Tobac- co is produced to some extent, but is not very much exported, and in- deed the total exports from the coun- try are comparatively small, the larg- est amount being sent to Austria-Hun- gary.
 The principal crop raised is maize, and very large quantities of this ce- real are consumed in the country in

Dreduinq Gold in Arctic.

A novel effect of gold-dredging in the frozen regions of the Arctic is pointed out as a possible problem for future geologists. The stream be- comes blocked up by the tailing heap, and more or less stagnant pools are formed along the sides of the gully. Where the gully broadens two or three embankments may be produced, with muddy pools between them. The mud is deposited in the sluggish waters, buries the rocks of the ridges, and gives morainelike formations that may be difficult to explain when the dredging has been forgotten.

BIG HAUL FOR "cRIPPLE"
This Beggar Kept Record of Receipts -Gives Police Hard
 Battle.

Allentown, Pa William Newbeck- CT, perfectly healthy man, who can twist his arms so that he looks crip- pied. did such prosperous business begging in Allentown that he went on spree and he was locked up, giving the bluecoats fight before they land ed him in cell.
 At court it was found out that he had roll of several hundred dollars. Newbecker. who covers the entire East, kept a book showing his daily receipts. His best day here brought $14.50, and the average for some time past was $10 day. He was fined S5 for drunkenness and told to leave Allentown

IS LonELIEsT OF PUPILS
Missouri Youth Has School and Teach CT All to HimseIf-Sports
 Are Eschewed.

Chillicothe, ,Mo.-Livingstone county the world-it has just one pupil But, despite the small enrolment, it keeps grinding steadily away. confining it's activities principally to the text books and eschewing football and other forms of athletics.
 The school in question is in district No. 2 in Medicine township and Miss Mary Phillips is the teacher. The list of matriculants has not been pub lished. When the term began five weeks ago, it was anticipated that a number of children would enroll. but only this one boy came, so the teacher started in with the course.

Drill Amenities.

Mayor John Purroy Mitchell said at a dinner in New York:
 The memories of camp life are a very pleasant thing to any soldier. Even the little vivacities of camp life seem in the retrospect pleasant enough.
 Thus I often laugh about a bank CT who was being drilled daily one day at Plattsburg by broker-sergeant.
 'What'll you give me- said the broker-sergeant, an old Yale end, ii 1 take that hump off your back?'
 I'll give you, the banker an swered with a tart laugh, Something to make your hair grow, sarge. ;

IN DAYS OF GOLD

much of which was too lean to work out by hand. Water was brought for many miles in ditches and fumes from the high Sierra and conducted under great head to nozzle, from which it was projected with tremendous force against the gravel
 Tt was the vast quantity of refuse washed into the streams by these hy- draulic operations that brought about the conflict between mining and agri- cultural interests, finally decided in favor of the farmers.

the manufacture of maize bread and many other preparations in which ground maize forms the basis.
 The flesh consumed is principally pork, although mutton, goat and beef enter to some extent into the daily dietary, more especially in the towns. Pork, however, in the fresh and in the cured state, is used everywhere, and every farmer, small or large, is a grower of pigs, the type preferred be- ing the Mangalicza breed, which has the characteristic of producing deer layers of fat along the back, which is cut into long strips, slightly salted and used in the place of butter. So important is the pork-curing industry considered in Serbia that the govern ment subsidies the curing establish ments and in several ways gives con- sessions to the curers of pig meat. The salt required in the business is subject to a rebate of 50 per cent of its value, as it is used for industrial purposes, there being state monop- oly of salt in the country.
 Sheep Rank Next to Pigs.
 Some of the customs in connection with agriculture are very interesting among them being the universal coop eration of the farmers in annually sending their sheep to the hills. The sheep industry ranks next to that of pigs, and wool is produced in consid- erable quantity. Serbian mutton is noted also in eastern countries, and before the war was much in demand in Constantinople.
 But the principal use of the sheer is to produce milk, from which great variety of cheeses is made. The farm CTS who are the owners of the sheep unite together to employ one or more shepherds, who take charge of their fiocks and milk them while they are on the hills. The shepherds are also responsible for making the cheese out of the milk, and pay themselves for their trouble by taking certain per- centage of the produce, the remainder being divided among the farmers, ac- cording to the number of sheep they possess.
 The cheese produced is somewhat bitter in taste and not unlike eve milk cheese, which at one time was produced so largely in the south of Scotland
 The national customs of rural Ser bia are very quaint. The marriage ceremonies, for example, are of the most elaborate character; the bride is selected by the parents of the bride groom, and this is looked upon as be ing quite in the natural order of hu- man affairs; but all the ceremonies in connection with marriage are of the
