Natwstlly, it might he supposed that
tears is envy ono kind of gold., and le
M true that there is only one metal
of that name; but tt is found in many
shap68, 501110 of which are decidedly
curious. For example, there is moss
gold, which is occasionally discovered
in messes nearly a foot in diameter.
If a let of rock be thickly interlaced
with gold veins, and the rocky sub-
stance be dissolved away, the metal is
atilt to be tett behind in this strange
form. What is called "wire gold" Is
formed ill much the salve manner.
In the famous Cripple Creel: region
gold often mews in little crystals
composing fern -like pieces. Once in a
lung whale a guld orystal of consider-,
able size, say, bait an inch in diameter,
and a perfect ocLubedrou, as picked up,

ing is dune for "flour gold," so called
because it occurs as a very flue powder
mixed welt the oaods ab the bottom
of the stream. These sands are at-
tacked by stern -wheel flat -bolts, which
are, floating dredges propelled by
steaal. The flat -boat anchors in a
suitable place, and the gravel is hauled,
alear13 with Imerkets attached to an
endless chain. The gold is caught 011
copper plates with the aid of quicksil-
ver, and the refuse is carried over-
board by 0. stream of water. The beach
sands of the Oregon seacoast are quite
rich in gold, which as very pure,
though finely divided. There has been
a good. deal said lately about the gold
in ordinary sea water, which actually
does amount to about a cent and a half
per tan, 13u1 the water of the Caspi-
an Sea, which is very salty, contains
Gem sixteen to eighteen cents' worth
of gold per fun, and it is there that
the proposed works should he set up
for the purtes0 of separating the yel-
low metal from its saline solution by
electrolysis. Unfortunately, separat-
ion by this process is expensive,, a pow-
erful current being required. The
characteristic placer Igola of the

parts coerces that they do not know:
how nuggets are formed.The most
plausible guess seems to be that they
are occidental acaumulaLiunn of grains

UNREASONING HATRED.
Enropwur r)isllka and leer:mention of the
Jerre.
Strictly speaking, every kind of hat-
red might be said to bo unreasoning,
but thereisone manifestions of it more
than another to which the term may
be applied, it is the recent European
le nonetrations of hatred of the Jews,
The Jew as used to perserution, in
Russia he is eompreli011 to live within
Prescribed districts, In Austria and
Roumania he Is the vietio3 of mob vie-
leure or of street ruffians Willi some-
times even assault and rub him with
impuulty, In Germany an active lee
litiral party makes his expnleioa the
chief article. of its faith. In most Euro-
pean countries, if he is net subject to
legal disallililies, he is discriminated
against to such 0.11 extent that it
comes to the same thing.
Just at present it is 10 France,tvhose
repel>liran institutions should be a
guarantee of utmost tolerance, that
the most 5hoekiu4 manteestata0ns of
hatted of the Jews are being made,
Whet is there in the question of the
guhlt or innocence of Captain Dreyfus
which shonid stir up mobs in the
streets of Pares and other French
cities to about, 'Down withl rho Jaws 1'
and to attack Jel%lab. hottees and she; s?
Simply this, that .Dreyfus is a Jew,
and that tact eo warps 111e judgment of
thousands oC l'renchnaeu that they are
elmast ready to mob any one who sug-
gests that he ought to have a new and
open trial.
A Jew stabs a Spaniard ire Algiers—
very likely in self-defence. Innite La-
tely a mob gathers, crying, 'Down
eNit11. the Jews!' and begins breaking
open Jewish shops and maltreating all
Jews wheal it finds on tale streets.
t an Italian lord stabbed the Spaniard,
there would have been no mob shout-
' ing, 'Down with the Italians!' \\'hat
impels the mob is not hotter at the
man's crime, but blind, unreasoning
hatred of Jew's as 50158,
Such demonstrations are a revival 01
the savagery of the Middle Ages. Thry
are out of placefn the nineteenth cen-
tury, and they disgrace the communi-
ties which tolerate them.
