Nuggets of Gold.

THERE are - few more attractive
L objectsxin the mineral world than
a fine nugget of gold 1t is not alone
the value that it represents that
makes such nugget admirable, for
nature often shows herself more
skillful than any jeweler in moldins
it into a shape of beauty. People
who can afford such luxuries will
pay price Considerably beyond the
weight value for a chunk of pure
gold whose form has not been altered
+ by the hand of man. -t-
But how do nuggets of gold orisi
nate? Sometimes a SIS of the pre-
cious metal worth a thousand dollars
or more is found. BY what process
was so much gold compacted into q
lump? An attempt has been made 10
answer this question.
A member of the Royal Society
in Australia has been cutting and
slicing and polishing gold nuggets
with the sole purpose OF finding out
just what their structure is The
first thing he discovered was that
there is one curious point of resem
blance between gold nuggets and
etched with chlorine water exhibit a
crystalline structure. In the case of
me eorites the lines thus exhibited
on the etched surface are called Wild
mannstattian figures, and their pres
ence is one of the most invariable
characteristics of those metallic
bodies that fall out of the sky upon
the earth.
But il is not meant to be implied
that gold nuggets have fallen from
the sky because they exhibit crys-
talline structure recalling that of
meteorites. The resemblance is ap-.
parently only superficial and the crys-
tails of the nuggets differ in form
from those of the meteorites-
Another curious fact is that when
nugget is heated to high tenn
perature explosions take place on its
surface. Blisters are formed, which
continue to swell until they burst
with a sharp report. 1t is evident
| that the nuggets contain either gases
| or some liquids or solids which are
easily turned into the gaseous form
and the expansion of which produces
| the explosions.
The Investigator has, it is reported
not yet drawn any definite conclu-
sions from his experiments. He
| wants new supply of nuggets from
which to ascertain what the explo-
| sive substance they contain is and. If
possible, how it got there. Having
done that, he may be able to tell how
nature goes. to work when she makes

out to reconnoiter. On the opposite

signs: and in their hands they held
their long -bladed spears and buffalo

warriors fed before me. They ran up

kept resolutely on our way. The
Kisii occasionally threw spears at
us and shot arrows into our midst;
but a few rounds from the Maxim
gun soon put them to rout.
The Kisii now contented them
selves with following us at respect
full distance until toward sunset,

under my weight and left me in the

there were many crocodiles there

Two large native canoes hove in
