Warner and Tratnptor Burshfield away

our horses for a while, and then unani-

and as the stream was not more than
forty feet wide, and the Filipino
trenches were on the opposite bank,
the two firing lime, were not more than
fifty feet apart. The river looked deep,
but se yet our people had not overcome
the enemy's fire sufficiently to allow
the matter to he tested.
Captain Alda G. Clarke, now a cap-

him standing erect in order to better

TION OF FLOAT COLD
fiMAI:CriA1+dA
A patent .for a. proeets or amagama.-
tioii of float gold has been taken out in
France. By a kind of capillarity parti-
cles of gold are not wetted in washing,
and remain, in spite of their density, on
the surface or
in a sle
nsarit
andd
they
also resist the action of mercury. To
prevent this capillarity it is sufficient to
add a caustic substance to the water to
clean the gold, such as ammonia, lithia,
potash, and soda, or salts of these nika-
liee. The gold particles, not wetted by
pure water are reached by alkaline li-
quids and obey the law of gravity. The
solution has also a favorable iefhlenne
on the bath of mercury, keeping the sur-
face clean.

Nature has endowed Norway with im-

little utilized before the advent of hy-

making of that country an important
centre of various kinds of manufacture.
A low estimate of the total available
water -power of Norway is from 5,000,000
to 7,000,000 horee-power. The manufac-
ture of nitrogen from the air will this
year employ from • 170,000 to 180,000
horse -power, and in the course of a
few ;imam it is hoped that 300,000 horse•
