One' of the Richest "Placer" De-
peeits Anetralia Found
By a Dog-.
One of the, best knoevo stories bear-
ing on Australian gold ;inning—and
one which has the merit of being
'strietly ,true—tells •how, some thirty
years ago, one, of the richest ef the
many lien "Plaedr" deposits in the
Ballarat district was discovered by a
dog. A 'disappointed prospector
piek,ed up a stone and threw it at
the animal. The latter, returning
good for evil, as is so frequently the
dog's wont, brought back the missile
te its master in its mouth. Some-
thing peculiar in its appearance
eaused the man to take it again in
his hand, and, examines it carefully.
It proved to be a efiunk of gold -bear-
ing quartz.
A similar lucid:int has recently
been reported from, Coolga.rdie. A
dog, out walking with its master,
chased and taught a kangaroo. In
the struggle the ground got torn
up, and the dog's owner, on ar-
riving at the spot, found a true fis-
sure vein of via ore expesed.
Another similar occurrence led to
the discovery of one of the richest
gold deposits ever unearthed in the
British Isles. The place was a tiny
hamlet hi the Wicklow Mountains.
A farmer had killed and cut up !3,
steer, and, as was the custom, car-
ried a. portion to the school -master
of the district .as part paymentin
kind for the education ef his chil-
dren. While he was absent on his
errand,a large dog entered .his shop,
carried away a prime joint, ate what
it could, and then, after the manner
Of his kind, proceeded to
PITRit. THE :RE*,AINDERe ,.•
The irate owner went in search of
the four -footed thief, discovered him
in the very act of thus disposing of
the surplus beef, being a frugal man,
started to disinter it. Sticking to
the fatty portions were certain heavy
bright "pebbles," which wore so un-
like anything of the kind the trades -
alien had ever seen before that he
thought it worth his while to pre-
serve them, and show them to his
friend, the schoolinaster. That gen-
tleman had little hesitation in pro-
nouncing the supposed "pebbles" to
be nuggets of virgin gold, and en-
joined the butcher to on no account
share his -.secret with anyone else.
The advice, though well meant, was
difficult to follow. First one neigh-
bor and then another discovered for
himself what was in the wind, and
in the end word even reached Dublin
-Castle, and troops were sent to the
locality to guard the Government's
royalty. By that Vilna, however,
more than 2,500 ounces, worth over
$50,000, had been taken out by the
peasantry ; and so pure was it that
the Dublin shopkeepers used to ex-
change it for guineas,

Enjoying a solitary supper of roast
fowl one night, the late Mr. Sanuel
Ireton. then Member of Parliament
for the Western Division of the
County oe Cumberland, found a tiny
fragment of striated gold in. tlae
gizzard of a fowl he was carving.
His first impulse was to send for
the cook who had trussed the bird,
and chide him, for his carelessness in
preparing it for table. His second
to ma.ke inquiries regarding the lo-
cality whence it had come, and
whereabouts its favorite peeking -
ground was situated. It transpired
that the fowl was of his own rear-
ing, and that, in company with sev-
eral dozen other of its species, it
had been wont to resort to the
partially dried-up bed of a small
stream, which ran through a portion
of his estate, ,in order to obtain
therefrom the gravel which its in -
stint told it was necessary for the
proper keeping in order -of It diges-
tive apparatus. As a result of this
discovery the birds resorted there
no more ; their places being taken
by Mr. Ireton's' laborers, who suc-

Deposits of other more or less pre-
cious metals, besides gold, have been
discovered in like fashion. In -the
Cathedral of La Paz, in South Am-
erica, there is preserved a silver pig
with jewelled eyes, a thank -offering
made long years ago by a pious
Spanish prospector, who had been
led to stumble across what proved
to be an exceedingly valuable silver
mine owing to preliminary inveatigaa
tions carried Out by a inquisitive
sow.
Tradition has it, too, that the
enormously rich antimony beds,
which are being worked to this day
near Auriliac, in France, were dis-
covered by a boar, the property of,
an itinerant truffle hunter ; while
the existence of large subterranean
oil -fields at I3aku, on the shores of
the Caspian Sea, was first made
manifest eating to the. refusal of
cattle to graze on the para.fEn-
tainted grass which grew 'above
them.

Undoubtedly, however, the most
striking as well as the most eurious
among a host of incidents similar to
the above, is afforded by the story
of the discovery of what is now

1:Plie finishing touches are just now
being put on the improved great
Siberian Railroad, and in a few
weeks the entire line will be opened
for all kinds of traffic. After years
of labor under the most adverse con-
ditions, the Russian Government has
at last' accomplished its . greatest
work in the line of transportation.
A surveying party has begun lay-
ing out a new branch of the Man-
churian Railroad from Kwang-
changtze to Girlie. It will be about
185 miles long. Girin is an im-
portant commercial center, being lo-
cated at the crossing of many roads
and at the head of navigation on the
Sungari River.
Siberia is pre-eminently a country
of magnificent distances. It is one
hundred times larger than the Bri-
tish Isles and double the size of the
United States. It has a, mining and
agricultural area fifty times the size
of England. It has rivers navigable
for the largest flat bottom boats for
80,000 miles. little is known to
the outside world of its immense re-
sources, but it probably' is as rich
a land in minerals as Any in the
-world, Its forests are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands of square
miles.
All this field is now thrown open
by the completion of this railroad,
and it is .expected that rapid de-
velopment will proceed. For 4,000
miles there is an unbroken chain of
rich mineral lands, in which are
gold, silver, lead, copper and iron of
unestimated wealth. The great rail-
road, with its 6,000 miles of iron
rails, traversel this field and many
will reap untold fortunes in exploit-
ing these mines.

Last year 2,000,000 passengers
and 1,000,000 tone of goods were
transported, and the trafile will in-
crease with the coMplete opening of
the line. That is pretty well for a
country where you may travel for
days without seeing a single house.
It is impossible to estinnete what the
traffic well be when the country is
developed- te a quarter of its ability
to produce. No doubt the passer).*
gera will amount to 50,000,000 and
the freight to 100,000,000 tons a
year. The population of Siberia al-
ready has grown to 9,000,000 from
6,000,000 since the road was start-
ed, Towns have sprung 'up in the
wilderness and sraoke from factories

the junction of Tomsk had three
houses, now there are 15,000 people
there.
While the main line — the great
artery — will do wonders for the
country, the branch lines, of which
fully two score are projected, will
people the country much more rapid-
ly. The White Sea, Black Sea, and
the Baltic will be eennected with this
great producing artery, and es a, re-
sult Russian shipping must grow to
take care of the exports of the fu-
ture. This fleet is startling to con-
template, and the prediction is made
that it will eclipse that of eery

first stage of the journey to the
golden East is over the plains of
Western Siberia. The traveler does
not realize that it is 2,500 miles to
the extreme border, which takes
three clays to cover. Through the
entire trip of this stage there is not
a hill or aa cut ;through which the,
train passes. Beaching the Baikal
region the scene shifts,' =eh to the,

prove powerless to prevent;
This, the greatest of the world's
railroads — and easily twice the
longest — is emphatically a. pioneer
line. The grades are something aw-
ful to contemplate. The train first
goes up, then down, then swings
around a precipice, perhaps changing
the monotony by passing through a
tunnel. All this takes about two
days, for fast time is impossible.

so much that it is difficult to keep

Thus the line is divided into four

pel? Where are those who cry out,
"Great is Jesus of Nazareth!" with
the same zeal that these people cried,
"Great is Diana of the Ephesiansl"
(verses 28, 84). The temple at
Ephesus was one of the wonders of
the world, and its magnificence was
no doubt very great, but it was the
work of roan and for Man's glory
and key the worship of the devil, for
all sacrifice and worship that is not
to God is to the devil (X Cox,. x.,
20). All the confusion in Ephesus
at this time was of the devil also,
for "God. is not a God of confusion,
!Sat of peace" (1 Cor. zir., 28).

Some Samples Show a Very
Good Quality.
For a good many years the pre-
sence of coal , oil in Southern Al-
berta has been known, but only re-
cently have any decided steps been
taken to ascertain the extent of the
oil supply. The country where the
oil deposits are is one of the rich-
est and most picturesque districts in
the Northwest. It lies at the foot
of the beautiful Livingstone range of
the Rockies, not very far from the
Mormon settlement of Cardston, in
a country where grain growing and
ranching have been so successful; in
fact, no small circle would embrace
a country which produced wheat,
cattle, coal and timber of the very
best. Some ten or twelve years ago
people who had seen the oily ap-
pearance of the water in certain
creeks in the vicinity, and had no-
ticed the lumps of m pitchy sub-
stance which appeared here and
there, decided -to investigate.
Machinery was brought up from
the east, and was on its way to the
oil district when a prairie lire came
along and burned all the woodwork
el .the apparatus. 'This is , said to
have so , discouraged -the prospectors
that they abandoned their plans
and nia.de no further attempts.
Recently, several wealthy men, old-
-timers in the country, brought in
boring machinery and have sunk a
well. The flow of oil is claimed to
be from 100 to 300 barrels a day,
but at present the well: is stopped
up and, work earl hardly be resumed
before the spring. Samples of oil
have been tested, and the one re-
cently analyzed is said to be of a
VERY poop QUALITY,
containing, in addition to ilimninat-
ing oil, quite a percentage of fluid
very ,suitable for lubricating. The
only question is that of the supply,
and until that is solved the success
of 'the enterprise is yncertain. The
meninterested have great faith in
their project, and are spendinga
considerable sum of money on the
work. Oil has been noticed at sev-
eral other points, and the successful
working of this -well would be the
signal f or activity elsewhere. Across
the line in Montana,. not far from
the Canadian well, they are boring
for oil. Next summer should see
some iinportant developments, and
if the oil is really there in quantity
it will be an., additional product for
the country arid a 'valuable asset for

was a Jew, all with one voice, about
the space of two hours, cried—out,
areat is Diana of the Ephesians!
It was simply uproar and confu-
sion, the majority not knowing why
they were there, and when this Alex-
ander, put forward by the Jews,
would have spoken the verse gnoted
tells how they acted and shows how
foolish it would bave been for Paul
to have tried to quiet them. They
intake us think of the prophets of
Baal who cried from morning , until
noon, saying, "0 Baal, hear us" (1
Kings, xviii, 26). The one cry
meant about as much as the other.
The fact that Alexander was a Jew
staated them on this two hours' cry.
Think of the hatred manifested to
Mordecai the Jew, to Daniel the Jew
and to the Ring of the Jews! And
then consider . that every redeemed
soul in heaven and all who ever will
be there are each one indebted' to
the blood of a Jew, and all kings
and all nations shall yet fall down
before and serve the King of the
Jews (Ps. lxxii., 11), for whether it
be individual or national "Salvation
is of the Jews" (John iv., 22). '
35, 36. Seeing then that these
things cannot be spoken against, ye
ought to be quiet and to do nothing
rashly.
Thus spake the town clerk after he
had appeased - the people and had
said a good word for the people of
Ephesus in regard to their faithful-
ness to Diana. "Ile that is slow to
wrath is 'of great understanding."
"A wrathful man stirreth up strife,
but he that is slow to anger ap-
peaseth strife." "Ile that is slow to
anger is better than the mighty, and
he that ruleth his spirit than he
that ta.keth a city" (Prov. =iv, 29;
xv, 18; xvi, 82.)

these men, which are neither rob-
bers of temples nor yet blasphemers
of your goddess.
It was not . their way. to ridicule
the religion of the heathen, but to
hold up before them the living God
and to preach the Gospel of . God
concerning his son, Jesus Christ our
Lord, that the heathen might see
the contrast . and 'by the Spirit of
God, who always works when the
word is preached, be convinced of
their' sins and be led to turn from
idols to serve the living and true
God and to Wait for His Son from
heaven, whom He raised from the
dead, even Jesus who delivereth us
from the wrath to come (I Thess,
1, 9, 10).

The lessons from this portion of
Scripture are nearly all by con-

committee should not be called in
question for assigning such a por-
tion and giving us nothing from
the neuch more profitable next chap-
ter till we come to the twents-
eighth verse. 1 have thought per-
haps the author of confusion and
not the God of peace led them. to
this selection ; but we have found
some helpful thoughts, and -there are
more here, for every redeemed soul
should remember that we • must all
appear before the judgment seat of
Christ, and every one of us shall
give account of himself to God
(Rom. xiv, .10, 12), This is neither
a possibility nor a probability, but
a sure thing, for the mouth of the
Lord bath spoken it. Compare 11
Cor. v, 10 ; Matt, xii, 86. The
question of our sins was settled on
the cross, and by that precious blood
eve are made meet to be partakeit
of the inheritance ot the seines in

as we are to be calledto aecoint
for our works as believers (1 Cor. 111

Him that eve may not be ashamed
before Him ata His coming (I John
