Gold From the Sea.

This has no reference to the wild
plans that have from time to time
been exploited for extracting gold
from sea- water, but it relates to the
attempts made in Queensland and
New South Wales to recover gold
and other precious metals from the
sands on the seashore. The treat
ment OF these sands has been under
taken, it would appear. with some
promise of success. Not only gold
but platinum and uranium have
been found. 1t is thought that the
metals find their way to the strand
from submerged rocks which are
broken and triturated by the violent
waves assailing the coast.

iLg TO spring to new charges in an er
fort to.again bring these men into
