The world's gold product for the last
year will surpass any year in ita his
tory. The production of last year ex
ceeded that of all previous years, and
was reported by the mint bureau at
155,5::2,000.
The production for 1S94 seems likely
not to be less than $15,000,000, or a
gain of nearly ttO.Ol'0,000 over the fig
ures of ism. The principal pains have
been in the United States, the Witvva
lersrandt region of riouth Africa, in
Australia and Russia.
It was evident last summer, says a
Washington authority, that mining ac
tivity in Colorado and other western
states would carry the product of this
country for the year from (:;5.0.r5,000 in
1S03 to ti'2, 000,000. It now looks ao
though the total would roach S45,000.
Director Preston has checked and
pruned the estimates from the great
mining states, but even with large re
ductions they indicate an increase of
$1,75:1,000 in Colorado, 2,000,000 in Cal
ifornia, $1,000,000 in Montana, and
$-0:),00'J in Idaho. Largo gains are also
r ;ported in Oregon and Washington,
for which exact figures have not been
obtained.
Tho increase in the production of the
Witwutoriirandt region has been stead
ily maintained for live years. The pro
duction of l .'.lO was 40-l,t'.60 ounces, at
about f t7..r)0 an ounce; tho production
of ml was 72'J,2SS ounces; of 1803,
1,21 0.griS ounces; of 18!):;, 1,478,175 ounces,
and tho estimated production for 1804
Is 2,300,000 ounces. Tho complete fig
ures ha ve been received tip to tho close
of November, and every month shows
an enormous increase over the corre
sponding month of 1803, with an ad
vance during tho present year from
110,214 ounces in January to 175,809
ounces in November. The value of this
prod not was about $3(1,000,000 in 1803, and
will be about f:)8,000,000 in 1894. Other
portions of America are expected to
show slight gains, but they produced in
the aggregate only about $3,000,000
worth.
Australia, which shows a production
in IW of $35,088,000, is credited with
an increase of $il,o:)0,00() in 1804.
The iiussian empire was credited in
the la:it mint report with the same pro
duction in 1803 us in 1802, which was
1,80(1,200. Oiiicial figures since re
ceived show tin increase in 1803 of
about $1,500,000, and it is thought that
this will rise to $2,000,000 for the pres
ent year.
These gains alone will swell the
world's production by $20,000,000, and
would make an aggregate of more
than $1 Si ,000,000, if no losses were in
dicated in other countries. It is ex
pected that such a loss may occur in
China, where the product in 1893 was
!, 120,000, on account of the war with
J:: pun. riven a large loss there would
leave the world's production above
C175,000,000, and would exceed the most
sanguine estimates made by Director
f reston in his last report on the pro
duction of the precious metals,
Mr. 1 reston is endeavoring to keep
his estimates within conservative
hounds, fur hu does not wish to make
a larger claim tlian tho facts will
(ii:a!lv warrant; but it would seem
Cut his estimate for this year of $170,-
0 )0,o:)0 was certain to be largely ex
ceeded.

ing the haysecl from his beard and
eyebrows, has e'.amined the prognosti
cations of Damn Nature, and, studying1
the hints of Mother Earth, has arrived
at the conclus.on that now is the time
to lay in cor.l, for already the bushy
whiskers of winter are heavily frosted
and the br ith of the north wind gives
promiso oi weary months of chill and
snow.
The animal kingdom is already ar
rayed against the coming cold.
Throughout New England the squir
rels have an unusv.ally heavy cover of
fur, and the coats of the cattle and
horses are thick and rough. The fox
pelts are unusually fine and the mink
and weasel have donned extra heavy
winter nlaters. In the Adirondacks
tho deer have been forewarned and are
unusually well wrapped up in the cov
erings which an all-wise Providence
has provided.
Around the farm also signs are not
wanting. The corn husks are much
thicker than usual, and instead of be
ing a light lemon hue are of a deep or
ange ' tint, a well-established sign of
the approach of a oold winter. The
goose bone tells the same story, for the
spots are larger and whiter than usual,
and the hog's "melt" runs jagged in
stead of smooth. Nor is this all. The
partridge and woodcock are haunting
the farms and the grain fields, and the
wild ducks are flying in U-shaped in
stead of V-shaped flocks toward the
south The squirrels and chipmunks
are unusually busy laying up extra
supplies of winter fodder, and the
ground hogs have almost disappeared.
Already the green frogs are changing
their skins and seeking the bottom of
wells and springs for their winter
quarter, and the snakes have sought
their nests under the roots of the
trees.
Of course many of these signs may
be unreliable. Chipmunks are apt to
be aggressively busy at this season,
and frogs and snakes are not always
to be depended on. But the goose
drone can generally be accepted as a
truthful index to the weather, and the
hog's "melt" is looked upon in rural
communities as not to be gainsaid.
Our advice, then, is to get out your
winter clothes and to fill the coal bins.
Polish up the runners of the sleigh and
heap up tho woodpile. Fix the saw-
buci and file the saw. See that the
stove pipes are clear of soot. Then put
your trust in Providence and your
money in the savings bank, and pre
pare to enjoy the hundred and one de
lights of a stl ff. cold winter.

they impart secrets to you they do so
in a whisper so loud that, like the so
called stage whisper, it reaches the
ear not only of the person to whom the
confidence is addressed but also of
hundreds of people besides. This is
attributable to the fact that Paris is
probably the noisiest city of the old
world, and that the people here are
obliged to talk and whisper in an ex
ceptionally loud tone in order to make
themselves heard at all. The noises
are bewildering in their variety, and
the din is unceasing. To begin with,
the omnibus traffic of Paris is very
large, and the Paris omnibus is some
thing that must be seen and heard in
order to appreciate its ponderous size
and weight. It is very much as if one
of the big New York surface cars were
placed on ordinary wheels and pro
vided with a double row of seats on the
roof, with a couple of ample stair
cases leading up thereto. Imagine this
lumbering along, heavily laden, behind
three big Percheron horses, harnessed
abreast, with occasionally a fourth "en
fleche," over the old cobblestone road
ways that are still the rule and not the
exception in Parisian streets. Beside
the din made by these omnibuses and
their drivers, who seem to consider it
absolutely necessary to crack their
whips as loudly as possible at least ten
times in every minute, there are all
kinds of other atrocious noises to which
the police have hitherto affected to
turn a deaf ear. From early morning
until late at night the streets are par
aded by itinerant noise-makers of every
species of trade, each of whom has his
own particular cry, and it is not an un
common thing for a dozen of these
screamers to pass a given point in one
hour, each yelling at the top of his
voice. There are the window-menders.
the umbrella tinkers, the knife-grinder
with his bell, the chairmenders with
their shrill brass horns, the beer and
wine-tap venders, who play an exas
perating, ear-piercing tune on an in
strument of their own invention fash
ioned out of a tap; there is the stentorian-voiced
purchaser of old wine
casks, who intones the awful word
"Tonneaux!" in such a manner as to
render it audible for half a mile or
more, and numerous other cries of the
same nature which it would take too
long to enumerate here. The new pre
fect of police has determined, I under
stand, to put a stop to all these trade
cries, except in cases where licenses
have been obtained and heavily paid
for.

How Arab Guide Ware Frlahtonod by I
Party of Rclantlat.
In his autobiography the late Sir W,
Siemens relates the following anec
dote: An Arab called his attention to
the fact that when at the top of the
pyramid of Cheops, when he raised his
hand with fingers outspread an acute
singing note was heard, the sound
ceasing as soon as he let his hand fall,
"I found his assertion," he writes, "to
be true. As soon as I raised one of my
own lingers aoove my neail I lelt a
pricking In the fingers. That this
could only be caused by an electrical
phenomenon was proved by the slight
electric hhock felt on trying to drink
out of a wine bottle.
"So I wrapped a full bottle of wine
that I had with me in the damp paper.
and thus converted it into a Leydcn
bottle, which was soon strongly
harged with electricity by the simple
device of holding It high above my
head. The Arabs had already become
distrustful on seeing small lightnings.
an it were. Issue from the wine bottle
held up by myself and companions, and
now held a brief consultation. Hud
denly, at a given signal, each of my
companion wa seized by the guide
who hal led him np. who now tried to
force him to go down again.
"I myself wan standing at Ihe very
lop of the pyramid when the aheik of
the Arab came to ine and told me
through my interpreter that the Arab
had determined that we were Io leave
Ihe pyramid Wcaun we were prac
ticing magic and it might dntnage
their rhance of their earning a living.
On my refusing Ui obey order the
aheik ran if tit hold of my left hand. I
had awaited thi moment, and I held
up my right hand with the bottle In
the attidtide of a magician, afterward
lowering it alowly toward the point of
Ihe khrik'a no.
When quite cl.tae Ut that feature 1
frit a violent alio.-k run through the
bottle to my own arm. and wa certain
that the aheik tmi .t have received the
equivalent. At any rate, he fell ane-
lea on Ihe atonca. and a few anxious
moment petard before he roe atnldmly
with a hnid ery and aprang down Ihe
glgantle aU-pa rf the pyramid with
long atridm. 1 be Arab, arelng tht
