Real Color Of Gold

Few persons are familiar with the
real color OF gold, because II is sell
dom seen except when heavily al
Ioyed, a state in which 1t Is much red
der than when it Is pure. The purest
coins ever made were the $50 pieces
which were once in common use in
California. Their coinage was aban-
doned because the loss by abrasion
was so great and because their inte-
rIor could be bored out and filed with
lead. They were octagonal In shape
and were the most valuable coins ever
minted and circulated. All gold Is
not alike when refined. Australian
gold IS distinctly redder than that
taken In California. Moreover, placer
gold Is more yellow than that which
is taken from quartz. This Is one Of
the mysteries of metalluFgy, because
the gold In placers comes from that
which Is In quartz. The gold In the
Ural mountains Is the reddest in the
world.

Workers Of Lancashire
Prove the Best Spinners

It's q common saying In the cotton
trade that Lancashire spins finer every
day. 50 the spinner must be given
some credit for the production OF
many of the beautiful fabrics which
are now made from cotton.
But fine spinning Is useless without
good weaving, and here Lancashire is
ahead of all rivals. It has the finest
operatives in the world, with the in
herited skin Of their forefathers In
their fingers. Threads are Joined by
a twist Of the fingers, quicker than the
eye can see, and the utmost Is OBJ
tanned from all the miraculous ma
chinery.
Cotton Is turned into velvet fit for a
queen under their skiIlful hands, and
gossamer fabrics, both stronger and
finer than silk, emerge from the clang-
ing looms. Every color If the rain
bow is seen, and the studios Of Paris

The cloth Of Lancashire supplies
the fabric for motor tires, covers the
furniture, makes beds soft and COM

their color forever, and provides
dainty frOcks and lingerie for wives
and children.-London Mall.
