How Nature Makes Silver.
The process by which natiire forms her silvor mines is very interesting. It must he remembered that the earth's crust is full of water, which percolates everywhere through the rocks, making solutions of elements obtained from them. Those solutions fake tip small particles of precious metal which they find here and there.
Sometimes the solutions in question are hot, the water having got so far flown as to be set boiling by the internal heat of the globe. Then they rash upward, picking up the bits of metal as they go. Naturally heat assists the performance of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus formed, perpetually flowing hither and thither below the ground, pass through cracks or cavities in the rocks, whero they deposit their lodes of silver. This is kept up for a great length of time— perhaps thousands of years—until the pocket is filled up.
Crannies permeating the stony mass in every direction may become filled with the precious metal, or occasionally a chamber may be stored full of it as if 1,000,000 hands were fetching the treasures from all sides and hiding away a mine for some lucky prospector to discover in another age. —Londcn Standard.
How Treasure In Transported In China* We have heard much of the divert ..!g of pnblk treasure to private gain by Chinese officials of all ranks, and the evidence of it in the failure of the Chinese army and navv to be ready for the inevitable struggle with Japan is too recent and convincing to be disputed, but on the other hand we can only wonder at the power of this law of responsibility which, in such a land, enables the remotest province to transport its dues to Peking in solid silver, by the simplest means, without loss by the way and without the protection of a single soldier. Nothing impresses one more with the absoluteness of this power as applied to transportation than to meet a line of puck mules, horses, or camels, loaded with silver bullion. The silver is usually confined in rough logs of wood that have been split, hollowed out, and then hound together, and each loiul is marked with a little ling of imperial yellow, stating the amount and destination. That is all the protection there is except the ordinary drivers, who carry no weapons, and are attended by no guard. In what, other land on the face of the globe could the same be done:—

11 in Animal Food.
Pat Shinuegan works on the Allen place, and his mind is no poetio mind, and whatever comes into it receives a literal construction that sometimes makes it unrecognizable when it comes out again. In fact, Pat's mind it a very sausage machine of a mind.
Now, it happens that Pat was feeling ill for some days, and so, as his employer is an M. D., full fledged, albeit somewhat young in years, Pat applied to him for a remedy. The doctor asked the symptoms, felt his pulse, examined his tongue, and did whatever else professional etiquette demanded. Then he said: "Patrick, you're run down a bit, that's all. What you need is animal food."
And Pat departed quite contented. About two days afterward the doctor happened to think of his case, and called on Pat in the stable. "Well, Pat," said he, "how are wo getting on with the treatment':" "Oh, shuie, sir," said Pat, "Oi manage all right with the grain and oats, but it's har-rd with the chopped hay." —•Boston Budget.
He Scored Journalism.
A successful physician, who began life as a reporter, spoke very .scornfully of the newspaper mau who had not sense enough to discover that the talents needed to earn him a bare living in "journalism" would bring him substantial rewards in any other business or profession. I suppose it must, have been some such idea that was at ihe root «f Horace Greeley's fixed objection to paying any man a salary of more than $£6 a week, it being hi6 opinion that if an employee of a newspaper could earn more than that ho ought to strike out for himself. Considering the number of second and third rate newspaper men who have made first class reputations in politics, have adorned presidential cabinets, and made their mark generally in the public life of the country, there does seem to be something wrong with the old hands at the bellows who an find nothing better to do.—Forum.
Whwt Started the Fight.
A Philadelphia man was arrested on a warrant, charged with assault and battery on his wife, and was taken to the central station for a hearing. His wife, on her oath, said he beat her so badly that she was detained iu bed two days. When Magistrate South asked him why he had beaten his wife, the prisoner Bairi. "Well, judge, you see, I opened tho door and threw my hat inside to seo if it would be welcomed, and when she threw it out I was so mad that I went uisido and licked her.''

It is probable that in spite of the fact that one-twentieth of the population of this oountry is dependent to a large extent upon railways for the money it has to spend but very few people know much about the cost of railway transportation. For instance, there are fow business men who can say what the cost of an ordinary box car is or how much it costs its owner a year. As a matter of fact euch a car costs about $500. The wear and tear which has to be repaired costa on an average about $20 a year. The average life is 13 years, and at tho end oi this time the car will be worth about $80 for scrap, so the annual cost for renewal, or the annual sinking fund, will be about $25. The railway owning the car has to maintain shops to repair its rolling stock and that of other roads, and it iB probably about correct to estimate the wear and tear of tools whilo repairing the car at $4. It has generally been the custom to add 10 per cent to bills for work done for outside parties as compensation for the use of tools, or a little more than the estimate of $-1 made above. Taxes will add another $4 to the annual cost of a car, and interest, at per cent adds $80 more. Hence it will be seen than the annual cost of a box oar to the owner is about $83. If the car is assumed to he in the shop 30 days, it will be in service 335 days, and its cost per day of service is nearly 25 cents. A flat or gondola car costs about $450 originally, and a similar series of estimates will Ehow that its annual cost is about $75, and its daily cost about 22.4 cent.-' for the time it is out of the shops.—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Kittitern Africa.
Professor Angelo Heilprin, the distinguished physicist, indorses the statement made by Dr. Gregory of the British museum that there exists in eastern Africa, occupying a very considerable portion of its extent, a narrow and in places a very deep trough, in which the great lakes and many of their tributaries are loeated, and which, with a more or less open and depressed lowland, communicates with the basin of the Red sea, and yet further with the Dead sea and to the valley of the Jordan—that is, according to Dr. Gregory, there runs from Lebanon, and then almost to the Cape, a deep and comparatively narrow valley, margined by almost vertical sides, and occupied either by the sea, by salt steppes and old lake basins, Aid by a series of over 20 lakes, of which only one has an outlet to the sea—a coudition of things absolutely unlike anything on the surface of the ^arth indeed, the presence of suoh a rift, for this it appears to be, can only be compared with the long lunar rifts which, have so lw:g puzzled astronomers. To Professor Suess, the eminent geologist of Vienna, is attributed the first demonstration that over large areas of the earth's surface the crust has been steadily breaking through in the direction of the oarth's center, and that the crust has been torn and rifted throughout all time by the subsidences of earth blocks, and ho, many years ago, printed out the probable existence of this vast Afro Asiatic trough.
Tho Reward of Merit.
One of the institutions of Combe Florey was a handsome china bowl half filled with colored wafers, such as were then in general use for closing letters, and placed in the e.enisr of Sydney Smith's huge writing table, just behind a "presentation" inkstand of massive silver, which he spoke of as his "fount of inspiration." On the evening after our arrival at the rectory, when bedtime had soundeu for me, and 1 went up to the dear old man to bid him good night, he took me between his knees, drew the bowl toward him, and picking out a white wafer pressed it hard upon my forehead, saying While you stay with us, in this wise every night I shall signalize your conduct throughout the day.
Absolutely irreproachable behavior will be rewarded by a white wafer. Any trivial misdemeanor will be gently hinted at by a colored wafer. A black wafor will mean that you have done something really wrong and that I am seriously displeased with you. Now go to bed, dear child, sleep well, and if you must dream, let it be of white wafers."— "Men. Cities and Events," by Beatty Kingston.
I'rlnce Napoleon.
Prince Napoleon in 1870 was something of a prophet. When he heard of the emperor's declaration of war, he hurried to St. Cloud and had a stormy interview with the emperor. He didn't hesitate to say, "It is the emperor who has brought this upon us," and the emperor, while offended at his frankness, admitted that "your presentiments perhaps correspond with mine. Then the prince fired his last shot and showed that though he might go astray iu many things, he knew of the weakness of France and the strength of Germany. He turned on his heel and, with that bitterness which he didn't hesitate to exhibit when occasion required, said: "So be it, so he it! Let us, however, make baste to pack our possessions, for we are already beaten. And so the result proved.—New York Herald.
What Ui* Needs.
"What 1 need," said the statesman in speaking of his work in Washington, "is a good private secretary to look after my correspondence, so that I can give moie time to affairs in the house." "What you need," returned his constituent earnestly, "is a real good man to edit your speeches while you attend to your correspondence. It would ho foolish to have your letters more concise and better written than your public addresses."—Chicago Post.
