Quicksilver.

The ore from which quicksilver Is

bar is the original source Of the pig
ment known commercially as vennil-
ion. 1t is a compound of sulphur and
quicksilver, and in order TO separate
the latter from the sulphur the rock is
roasted. Passing off in the form of Il
gus, the mercury Is afterward con
densed and flows out in fine stream,
like continuous pencil of molten sill

occasionally found In a native or pure
state. Sometimes the miners pick

the poisonous effects of the quicksilver
fumes. Extreme cleanliness Is the best

THE MALTESE DERBY.
Its Curious Race Course With Go as
You Please Rules.

You Please Rules.
Horse racing Is II favorite sport the
world over, but 1t is doubtful whether
any nation can boast OF such curious
race course or claim more remarkable
ideas OF the sport than the Maltese.
Once year the road skirting Sliema
harbor is reserved as Il race course. and
tile people turn out in thousands.
There is no regulation of the course.
The crowd simply clears out of the
way as the horses come along.
The jockeys ride without brides or
saddles. and each carries whip in
either hand-one for his own mount,
The other to keep back any horse which
may try to oyertake him. We saw one
oe the spectators deliberately trip Il
horse up by putting his leg out, at
grave risk to himself.
These things. however incredible AZ
they seem TO sportsmen in this coun-
try, are taken as quite matter Of
course. and consequently hardly year
goes by without fatality of some
kind. All things considered, it Is not
likely that the go as you please rules
of this Maltese derby are likely to com
mend themselves to other turf authori-
