How German Potash Is Mined.

Potash in Germany occurs in the
form Of a rock salt and runs in seams
of 80 feet or more in thickness. AS
mined, Il has about the same consist
ency as the common rock salt Of COM
merce and its grinding is easy. 1t is
ground to about the fineness of a
coarse sand; in this form it is used
for domestic agriculture and at the
present time it is also mostly exported
In this form. The depths at which the
true potash deposits are situated rem
der II necessary to sink shafts leading
to levels of as much as 5000 feet be-
low the surface. Horizontal cuttings
extend up to two miles in length.
The miners themselves are, unlike
coal miners, entirely free from the dan
ger of fire damp. Occasionally dan
ger arises from hydrogen, the blue
flames Of which may sometimes be
seen pickering on the walls after a
blasting operation In a newly opened
mine. Sulphuretted hydrogen has
caused the death Of few miners and
carbonic acid gas renders suffeeation
possible.

Poets Lofty Position.

SAnong the British men Of proni-
hence probably the one who most fire.
quently refused money was Robert
Browsing, the poet. During the last
twenty-five years of his life editors
offered large sums for a short poem
from his pen. But Browning Csaid
"No." He told his friends when they
pointed out the unwisdom of this
course that he was determined not to
thrust his poems down the threats of
people; that If they wanted to read
him they could buy his books.

held whlsksrs Sacred.

If The beard has any standing in the
world today, it is undoubtedly because
of the Jews. who held their whiskers
to be sacred, and swore by them.
Later, the Turks did the same. The
sultan's followers used to comb their
whiskers after prayers. catch the
hairs that came out, break them In
two and bury them, on the theory
that in some mysterious way the hairs
helped to make soft walking to the
gates of paradise. This the Turks
firmly believed.

How superstltions Arose.

The Friday superstition arose be-
cause the crucifixion is supposed to
have taken place on that day. Some
persons think it is unlucky to spill
salt, because Judas Iscariot seems to
be splitting 1t In Da yinci's picture.
Others think that 1t is because salt
is a symbol Of incorruptibility, and
spilling it is, therefore, sign OF
broken friendships and general up
sets.
