The Gang At on id The Stove.
Tliere’s a legend, centuries old.
Of the early Spaniards told.
Of a sparkling stream that lies
l * niter Arizona’s skies.
Hassavam]>a is it» name,
And :In title to its fame
Is a wondr ins quality.
Known to-day from sea to sea.
These who drink its water-bright,
Beilinan. i\ kite man Imor nr knight.
Girls or women, boys or men,
Never tell the truth again.
Though the story sounds—’twnuld
sci in
Likc an opium eater’s dream.
I utii soberly inclined
In it much truth to tind.
By the premise I account
For the very large amount
Of the lying, they approve,
By the gang around the stove.
When the gang assembles round,
To discuss all tilings profound:
Brother Nelson, slick iis grease,
lie proceeds to speak his piece.
And, while we cheer or chafe,
We grah our wad to keep it safe.
Though lie is a jovial scamp,
lie is full of Hnssuyamp.
Of the others 1 must tell,
Daniels, Walker, and Blackwell,
“Kid” Brown, (irosh and Frenehy
too
And smiling, smooth Jack iKmahoe
The “llald Face Kid’’ and “Two
Step” Jack,
Bert Scribner and “Little Mac”.
To hear them tell how they can
mush
Would make old Ananias blush.
The furthest that they ever rove
L in a circle round the stove.
And while they dish hot air we
think
They havequaffed the fateful drink.
Naught can their delusion* cure,
They are llnssayampera sure.
The Use of X-Rays in Mining
A novel illustration of the appli
cation of Kontgen or X-Ilays to
mining was illustrated in some re
cent interesting expcrimcuts'mudc
in the Electrical Engineering
Laltorutory of the Van der Naillen
schools at San Francisco.
A number of samples of gold
bearing quartz ore were placed on
an ordinary holder containing a
sensitized plate. This was exposed
to the influence of the rays from
an ordinary Crookes tune tor about
15 minutes. When the plate was
developed, it showed the luctai
contained in the quartz in its
natural crystalline form, as if it
were suspended in -tpacc, the quartz
surrnuiniing.it being hut faintly
discernible. Samples where none
of the metal could he seen on the
surface were thus shown to contain
considerable value interiorly.
This method will prove valuable
in Mincralogical Research, as it
shows the actual state in winch
the lm-tal exists in the quartz,
Which can he shown in no other
wav. By the comparison of the
different densities in tie shadow
graphs thus obtained, it is possi
ble to tell also the prest nee in the
ore of lead, iron anti sulphur
pyrites.
As can Ik- inferred from the prices
secured by the buyers, black foxes
arc not plentiful in any part of the
world. Less than 100 pelts arc
taken in a year from the entire
earth. On some years the number
lias dwindled to ‘SO. Of late the
captures have been more plentiful,
though a man cun hunt for a long
time in any place without easting
his eyes upon a black fox, and as
seeing is not equivalent to securing,
many men who have looked at
biuck foxes running away have
never *hot one.
