Its develop- ment is similar to gold, except that where gold is usually associated with quartz and light.colored rocks „plati- num will be found more ooranaonly with darle-eolored. rooks and espeoially those a a• greenish. shading, It is found oray in small quantities, except at two or three looalitjes, 'Western Colombia and eastern.

In the colony of Upper Senegal and Niger, near a, place named Diekuy, exists an edible clay •of • which the in 91dikennekenateolio's a layer between strata of limestone, and a gallery has been driven into the earth for the extraction of the „substance. It is net only eaten on the spot, but, broken into pieces a few inches across, is sold to the in. - habitants of the surrounding country over a radius of sorae twenty manes. It is said by French explorers that some natives consume several pounds of this strange food every day. A similar custom is found in the Sou- dan and in other parts of Africa. A Good Fellow.

PURIFYING WATER. tiltraNielet Rays From Electric Lamp Gives Good Results. We hear a. great deal. these days of the wonderful curative propertieeef ultra -violet raysenthose teareely hie rays of light lying beyond the violet it the very end of. the spectrin of rainbow oolors. The newest and most batereating diseovery about these rays is that they can be used for the purifying and sterilizing of city water. The water passes theough tanks, ter chambers, illuminated by ultra -violet rays, and 'becomes abao- lately sterile. Proof of this has been found in a series of experiments made with the wathr supply for the village of Mar- omran near Rdnen, Fraoeti, Mar- oname is the .centre of half a dozen small suburban districts and it furn- ishes water for a combined popula- tion of 2.1;000. Despite every precaution, the water sometimes becomes c,ontaminated before it reaches the eervice pipes from the chalkcatchment grounds, and in order to insure the absolute purity of the water an •ultra -violet ray sterilizing plant was xecently installed. The water is purified in this way: is first necessary to filter the water, so as to make sure that it ehail be clear enough to permit the ease" Penetration of the ultratvioletetrays. For this purpose a very simple filter suffice,s. From this the weber passes close to three aides eef the electric latup and is thus exposed three tenths to the purifying action of the ultra- violet rays. From calculations made of the expenditure of electric energy necessary and of its cost the impre.s- sien,is gained that the employment of ultra -violet rays is decidedly cheap. As for its efficacy the bacteriologi- cal laboratory of Rouen examined 14 sets of three specitaens, each taken at different dates. First, then, .was the water fresh from the intake. The number of bacteria per cubic centn meter varied from 6 to 86 within a period of 14 days. he colon ba,cillos was sometimes absent, but generally there were 20 to 30 per 100 cubic oen- timeters. The second set of samples was taken after the water had passed through the filters and the number of micro-organisms varied from zero' to 14e The colon bacillus had entirely disappeared except from one sample, when five were discovered in 100 cubic centimeters The third specienen was that of water after it had been exposed to the action of the ultra -violet rays. In every one of the 14 specimens the water was absolutely sterile, there being no bacteria ot any description 'whatsoever. HATRED OF MANCHUS. Lies at the Root of the Present Out- break In China. Much of the political disaffection in China ID. reeeot yeare is due to the underlying hatred which the Chinese proper bear their Manchu. conquerors. Although the Manchus swept down from the north and took possession of -the Chinese theone nearly 300 years ago there has been little mining of their blood with that of the native Chinese, and the two peoples have exieted side by eide, two continually t s. The t anchus were originally ea ed in to assist iti supressing internal troubles which threatened the over- throw of the Ming dynasty. Their work done, they refused to withdraw, but proceeded to conquer the coun- try for thernselves. In 1643 they pro- claimed the son of their own ruler as the 'efirst emperor of a new dynasty, the tenth emperor of which now reigns. The Manchus have ruled China on Chinese lines of polity, and in recent years have made many efforts th conciliate the natives. A. few years' ago it was said that of the 144 of- ficials then ferming the supreme government of the empire only 32 were Manchus. In the provinciel ad- ministrations the proportion of Man- chus chosen in the last five years has been not more than one-fifth of the whole number. The real .reason for this change, however, may be undoubtedly found in the marked superiority of the Chinese in mental equipment and in capacity for administration. Prac- tically all the high Chinete officials rise through a long course of pro- motions from the junior ranks, and most of the Manchus have found themselves outstripped early in the race by the Chinese. The recent widespreacl movement for the cutting off of the queue or pigtail appears to be a part ,of the native crusade against Man.chus domination. The wearing of the queue is one of the few really dis- tinctive Manchu customs which the conqueror enforced upon the Chinese people. A Valuable Fiddle. Probably the most valuable violin in the world is possessed by Herr Fritz Kreisler, whose recent concert at the Queen's Hall, London, Eng.. aroused so much interest and enthus- iasm.

On the tail -piece the maker's initials and the date (1737) appear in diamonds, the pegs and buttons are set with diamonds and rubies, while the case alone is worth $1,000, being of solid silver, teverlaid with tortoise -shell, and decorated with arabesque and other ornamentations, pelmonico Potatoes.

Mulholland & 0o., Toronto, Empress of Germany's Jewels. The Empress of Germany has jewels valued at more than $1,000,000. Her collection is rare and superb. Many of the jewels are heirlooms of the Prussian crown and may be worn only by the reigning queen, but the' Kaiserin is said to have jewels valued at $500,000 of her own. She has more than 40 diamond rings, innumerable bracelets, brooches, watches and other trinkets. She has one bit of jewelry with one large diamond set with 45 smaller diamonds. • Before any im- portant court affair the court jeweler always examines the jewelry M see if the stones are set firmly. As a fact, however, the Kaiserin seldom wears any jewelry except at court. She prefers to dress simply and avoid all display of jewelry. • Care of the Broom.

Blowing Up a Ship Leaded With Oompresead Sleeting Cartridgen What was tencloubtodly the greatest eiugle explosion of dynamite or gun- Nwder aver discharged took plaee a Jew' weeks ago when the derelict dyn- am:te ship Mystery was blown up with its own cargo off Yarmouth, England.; 10,000 tons of high explo- sives went Ziff at one time. The Mystery had been engaged for many years in transporting 'dynamite and other explosives used in blasting operations„ Early last month the ves- sel was wrecked in the North Sea about, 10 miles front the Norfolk coast, Although, providentially, the impact, was not great enough to .exPlode the, big oargo of compressed blasting cartridges containing gunpowder asid gelignite, the bulk, ouly a small part of which appeared above the sur.face of the water at high tille,,twa.s deemed a, great menace to navigatibR, and the English Admiralty authbrities or- dered that it be destroyed. It was decided to use the vessel's own cargo for the purpose. A wreck- ing party went out to the derelict at loW tide, and, makingits way to the hold where the explosives were stow- ed, which was still watei; tight; at- tached a fuse to eaeh bOx ,of tart - ridges. The 'fuse was then carried t� the shore and touched off. The eX-, plosion that follbwed shook the build- ings in Yarmouth and for miles around, but no d,amage was done. geyser of evatee was ejected at least a thousand feet into the air. Shipping people had been ziotified of the intended explosion, and the Yarmouth Waters were given -a we berth by navigators on the afternoon sot for the work.

To the butterfly, unlike most crea- tures, the head seems to be not indis- pensable. Reporting some experiments to the French Academy of Sciences, Prof.' Vianney of the Lyons Univer- sity states that a number of insect larvae were carefully beheaded and that in spite of this they went through the usual stages of metamorphosis. Caterpillars of the genus bombyx be- came mature butterflies, with fine col- ored, streaked wings. They were lit- tle troubled by their, headless condi- tion and lived for a considerable time. Obtaining Heirs rn China. The. practical Chinese have adopted a simple way of obtaining heirs, where there are no legal ones—the adoption of children who belong to side branches of the family. In this way the family line is kept intact. In the absence of male deseenclante the side branches of the family the sons of strangers are adopted. The Chinese prefer this method to marry- ing second wives. HAVE YOU a Lump in the Breast, or a Growth on any part of the body, or a Sore that will not heal?
