vein 400 feet wide has been opened
for more than a mile along the noun
tain at depth of 1000, feet below
the crest. In Europe the chief mines
are at Almaden, in Spain, and at
Itria, a town twenty-five miles from
Trieste.
The process of obtaining the mer-
curry is called distilIation. After
being crushed the ore is subjected
to intense heat, 1900 degrees Fahren-
heit When the ore has attained the
temperature of $50 degrees, the mer-
curry is driven off in the form OF
vapor. This vapor is passed into
large wooden or brick chambers call
ed "condensers." which are surround
ed by water jackets and other devices
designed to reduce the temperature
In these chambers the vapor is con-
densed, the quicksilver resuming a
metallic form and being deposited in
fine globules on the walls and floors.
These globules, as they increase in
size, merge and run out in troughs
ready to be marketed. The product

Jailers i'm the Orient.

TT appears from a story told by an
American who has spent much of
his time in the far east that the warders
in Burmese jails are nearly always men
from the Punjab and northern India
They are large and muscular, but the
principal reason for their selection is
that they are not Buddhists The Bur
man is sometimes employed as a warder,
but his Buddhist education often causes his
pretudiceS to come in collision with his
official duties, as in the case of the
warder in this story.
phoongyee, or Buddhist priest, in Jail
for stealing. had been placed in solitary
confinement for disobeying the prison
rules. His influence as a priest had per-
suaded a Burman warder to procure him
some betel nuts, which, being discovered
in his possession, caused his punishment
The stone cell in which the priest was
confined had a plank supported at both
ends by insertion into slots in the walls
The plank served as bed, and at night
the priest jumped on it again and again,
in order to force the ends out of the
shallow sockets.
The Burman sentry peeped into the
aperture of the door and asked him to
desist The convict replied that he was
a priest, and as such was forbidden to
sleep on raised bed.
BY this time he had got the board free,
and to disarm the sentrys suspicious lay
down upon it and feigned sleep. The
sentry returned to his post, but few
hours later he was alarmed to see the
phoongyee walking softly down the
passage. He had used the board as a
lever to force out two Sf the bars in the
door and had managed to squeeze him
self through the aperture.
The sentry, a Buddhist, was embar-
rassed. To lay violent hands upon the
holy convict was out of the question; to
allow him to escape would bring punish
Inent upon himself. AS the passage doors
were locked. and the priest safe for the
present, the sentry ventured to remon-
strate with his charge on the impro-
priety Of his behavior.
The trar,p of the relief jailer was
heard outside. The sentry knelt and i'm
plored the priest to return to his cell
The door opened upon the tableau-a
uniformed sentry in an Attitude Of sup
plication before convict
The Punjabese, who formed the relief
guard. not being Buddists, had no re-
spect for phoongyees. The convict was
promptly bundled into new cell.

First "Uncle Sam"

Uncle Sam. of the long white hair
striped trousers and starred waist
coat, who stands for the United
States in cartoons, was originally
real person. a citizen of Troy, y.
T.. about a hundred years ago.
The way the term came to be ap-
piled to the United States govern
ment happened in this manner:
Shortly after the war of 1912, FL
bert Anderson OF New York who was
a contractor for the Army, went to
Troy to purchase some provisions. II
was Anderson's habit to stamp all
boxes containing the goods with his
initials and those OF the United
States. so that on the end of each
box sent out were the letters E. A
and u. S.
Before each box went out it had
to be inspected, and one of the in
spectors was an old man. popular
among his associates for his wit and
good hunor. named Samuel Wilson.
Around the inspecting rooms he was
