Djj imtttaiKwr. "Gold . Mining , -in : Wales. About two years ago a number of -companies wore stirtrOi with a view of working tbe auriferous quartz deposits discov- wed in severul localities in North 'Wales, and such was the confidence entertained at the time in tbe success of Welsh gold mining, that capital was obtained without difficulty from the overocredulous public. Tbe tem porary success of the Vigra and Clo gan mines was the greatest induce ment to enter into these speculations, and tho warning that appeared from time to time in tho Times had little effect upon the investing clust-es. Among the companies formed were the Cambrian, East Cambrian, Welsh. Gold Mining, Castell Cum, Dorchan, Dolfrwynog, East Cl"gan, St. David, and many others, and fully one-half the number are by this time either in course of winding up, or unable to proceed, owing to having spent the wholo of their capital, and thoso that are still working show hardly any prospect of success. The Vigra and Clogan mine, which formerly gave such promising indications, haB not paid any dividends for throe years, which proves thut gold mining in the Principality is a speculation In ,the widest sense of the term. Quartz containing a cortain' per cytage of gold has been discovered at all the' mines, but- the cost of reduction has been far above tho yield of pure metal,' and1 honce the unprofitable character of the speculations, and un til the mechanical appliances for ex' tracting ; tho gold from tho quartz are more perfect and loss costly than at present, gold mining cannot be suc cessfully carried on in Wales. Low don Times, . . Interesting Chemical Facts. A platina crucible is made and retained red hot over a large spirit lamp. Some sulphurous acid is puured into it. The aoid, though at common tem perature one of the most volatile of known bodies, possesses the singular property of remaining fixod in the red hot cruniblo, and not a drop of it evaporates : in fact it is not in contact with the crucible, but has an atmos phere of its own interposed. A few drons of . water are "now addod to tbe sulphurous acid in the red-hot era cible. Tbe dilated acid gets into ira mediate contact with the boated metal, instantly flashes off, and such is the rapidity and onorgy of the evaporation- that the water remains behind and is frozen into a lump of ' ice in a hot crucible from which, soiz. 'ing tho moment botoro it again molts, . . it may' be throwu out before the eyes lot the astonished observer. This is indeed " a pteco of natural magic," and as much liko a miracle as any operation of the forces of nature could produce. It is certainly ono of the most singularly beautiful experiments imaginable. It was devised by a Freuoh eavan to illustrate the repel- lant nower of heat radiating from bodies at a high temperature, and of the rapid abstraction of boat produced u Dy evaporation . . . The Siven Old' and Seven Ne i Wonders of the Would. Tho Ery tian Pyramids, the Mausoleum of 'Mausotos, the Temple of Diana, the : walls and hanging gardens ot Jiaby Ion, tbe Colossus of Rhodes, the Statue ' of Jupiter at Athens, and the Pharos or light-bouse ot Ptolemy Philadel- . r rr . . I l. I I pnus, OUU loot nign, nuve lung ueen " considered as the seven groat mochan ioal wonders ot tho world. The seven modern wonders of the world are: tbe Steam Engine, tbe Printing Pross, the Telescope, ; the Microscope,' tbe . Electric Telegraph, the Chemical Labi ratory, and the-Photograph. The ' Buporior", utilitarian ' character of tho moderna over tho' ancients, is most remarkably -exemplified in tbe above " enumeration of the chief efforts, iot 'tho highest mechanical genius of the two classes separately considered. Articles in the Southern papers render it apparent that while tbe rebel paToled soldiers, and - the poor whites, generally, are running around loose at the South, the men ot property are in great tribulation, and suffering in tently under the proviso excluding all ponsessing properly valued .at over 20,000 from the amnesty. The proper ty owners have -deserved this retribu lation, for it was in thoir power to' have prevented rebellion. Of the wealthy classes, many have managed, by having converted their properly, in the earlier stages of the rebellion, into bills of exchange, cold, or other property which they can keep out of sight, to escape the trouble,, but it bears with great seventy upon the owners of real estate.-' SPRING AND SUMMER GOODS, FRK8H STOCK!
