GOLD FROM BED OF RIVER
Small Reward for Hard Work Done
by Chinese Seeking Precious
Metal in the Yangtse.

The water Of the Yangtse river at
the end of January was at its lowest
level and opposite Chungking stretches
of its gravel BED were high and dry.
On these gravel beds could be seen
numerous Chinese washing the sands
of the river bottom for gold. The
Chinese work in groups of two men,
and the apparatus used by them is
simple. 1t consists Of an inclined plane
formed by narrow strips of bamboo
pIaced crosswise on two bamboo poles.
Over and at the upper end of this in
clined plane is suspended basket of
about half bushel capacity. Sand
and gravel are shOveled from the river
bed into this basket. River water is
then poured over the contents, which
are shaken during the pouring. The
water, carrying with 1t the fine sand
that passes through the meshes of the
basket runs down the inclined plane.
The fine bamboo crosspieces of the
plane are so arranged that minute

surgeons objected and reminded her
that she was superintendent of the
nursing staff in Turkey, and the Cri-
mea was in Russia. But she went
nevertheless.
Stricken by the Camp Fever.
She set to work reforming, as she
had done at Scutari, but she had done
very little when she herself was struck
down with fever.
She was carried to a hut immedi-
ately behind those of the soldiers. In
England the news Of her illness Gre
ated n sensation as profound as If
great battle had been lost. She was
very near death, yet she managed to
pull through, but she recovered, with
her beautiful black hair cut off, look
ing like the ghost Of her former self.
When she was well enough she was
taken back to Scutari, feeble, unable
to feed herself or to speak above a
whisper, but she would not go home.
She worked on until the last British
soldier had left the hospital and the
war was over.
At home by this time she had become
national heroine. Hundreds or
DOems were written about her; pamph-
lets describing her life were sold In
the street. Her face was stamped on
pottery, on tradesmen's paper bags,
on showmen's booths, on nOtepaper in
thousand homes. Lifeboats, emf
grant ships, children, streets, waltzes,
race horses were named after her.
She hated it all, but one thing pleased
her-the founding of a Nightingale
fund. which she was to spend as she
| liked.
Started Many Great Reforms.
| Her fund grew to over 100000, and
with this money behind her she estab-
lished a training school for nurses and
began many great reforms. She set her.
self to reform entirely the health ar
rangements of the army, not only in
time of war but in peace; for she was
able to show that horrible as were
the civil hospital records, the death
rate among soldiers in peace time was
twice as high as among civilians.
She turned her attention to the
workhouse system Of hospital nursing
and cleansed it of It's horrors, and
finally she assailed the entire hospital
system of the country. She became
the Lady of the Lamp indeed; she be-
came the high priestess of light and
air. She founded modern nursing, and
all the great nursing associations and
all the Red Cross societies throughout
the world have spread from her work.
Yet all this time Florence Nightin-
gale was an invalid. She never recov-
cred from the hardships and Overwork
of the Crimea. For over half CEN
tury she was a chronic sufferer. She
lived out Of sight of the public, and
very often out of the sight of friends:
but cabinet ministers would go to see
her. architects building new hospitals
or barracks or schools consulted her.
From all lands appeals came for her
belp, and she denied her aid to none.

particles of gold are caught on the
upper edges of each bamboo strip. AT.
ter a great number of basketfuls OF
sand and gravel are treated in this
way the particles of gold are removed
from the inclined plane, which is then
ready for operation again. One plane
worked by two men will yield daily
quantity of gold equal in value to
about 20 or 80 cents Omitted States
currency. One man shovels the sand
and gravel into the basket, while the
other shakes the pasket and pours
water over its contents. 1t can readily
be seen that fortunes are not made in
securing gold in this fashion.-Consul

had been done in cold water, and as
it came back Florence Nightingale
burned it.
The doctors and officers objected to
her. Books written at the time by

mean army show with what scOrn they
met her.
Little by little she got her stores to-
gether until she became the feeder and

great numbers with other clothing;
she provided all the things that were

traveller.
She worked 20 hours n day. She re-
ceived the wounded, she dressed their
wounds until the surgeons could take
them in hand. She washed and
clothed and cOmfOrted them. She sat
with them, encouraging them before
an operation. She gave them life and
hope. She made them feel that
mercy had come on angel wings into
their bitter lives.
Drunken OrderIies Vanished.
Her nurses were here, there and
verywhere-whereve the doctors
would allow her to send them. The
rough, drunken, unskilled Orderlies
vanished from the nursing and skilled
and tender hands took their places.
| Florence Nightingale herself was the
Lady of the Lamp.
When the long days work was done
she would go to her little stuffy room
| TO begin her correspondence; then,
, after a time, when the surgeons had
! retired and the wards and corridors
were dark, she would take her little
lamp and steal quietly through the
silent rooms among the sick and dy-
ing men. She would kneel by bed
after bed to speak word Of comfort !;
she would give medicine here, food or
drink there.
No wonder the men wOrshiped her,
though at first they were little afraid
and shy. "Never be ashamed of your
wounds, my friend" she would say in
her gentle, musical voice. Her gen
tleness made poets of some of these
rough men.
There was a giant Highlander who
wrote home of her and her work
'What a comfort it was to see her
even pass. She would speak to one
and nod to another, but she could not
do it to all, you know-we were lying
there by hundreds-but we could kiss
her shadow as it fell, and lay our
heads on the pillow again, content"
1t was beautiful idea, and this
soldiers letter travelled round the
world. Longfellow used it in his poem
on "The Lady of the Lamp"
She stayed the winter at Scutari
and made Il revolution. Whereas the
deaths had averaged ~ in every 100
