CARELESS WITH GOLD.
Any Old Thing Serves tha' Klondikera
For Holding Nuggets.
Persons who are accustomed to ob
serve the extreme care with which
bankers handle gold would be aston
ished by the lax methods tot tbe men
who risk their lives for the precious
metal in ' sparsely settled regions
where it Is mined.' ; ' -
In the log cabins in which Klomlik-
ers live It has to take its chance along
with boots, cooking utensils and pro
visions, waiting to be transported by
the most expeditious route: Any re
ceptacle, it seems, is good ) enough to
bold gold. Old tobacco cans and fruit
and vegetable cans stand full of nug
gets on tbe shelves, and sucks of gold
dust are flung upon the floor.
On one occasion a little pack train
of three mules brought to Dawson
City $120,000 worth of gold In com
mon sacks, over which tbo mule driv
er, acting on nls own responsibility,
fastened a bit of sailcloth, lest a mule
falling on a rock or against a branch
should accidentally rip open a sack
and spill tbe contents. Tbe whole lot
was thrown with other, goods Into the
packer's office and left tbere until the
following morning. ,
At another time $40,000 worth was
sent down on one horse. The packer
In charge did not know who had given
it to htm and there was no sign of
ownership attached. It was identified
by the fact that within the larger
sack of dust was a small tnck of nuggets.
The bags are not sealed, but merely
tied with a leather thong or a bit of
twine. Chicago Record-Herald.
RAINMAKING FALLACIES.
Nature's Processes Too Qlgantio to Ba
Imitated by Man.
Warm air is like a sponge. It will
suck up a lot of moisture and carry It
without spilling any. But if warm
air, well loaded with moisture, is sud
denly cooled the sponge is squeezed
and the moisture falls out as rain.
Many years ago some hopeful gen
tlemen went to one of our arid regions
and exploded a lot of dynamite on the
theory that the concussion, would mix
tbe strata of warm air near the earth
with the cooler strata above and so
cause toe necessary precipitation or
moisture. There happened to be light
showers about the time of the experi
ments, which encouraged the experi
menters, but didn't convince anybody
else. - '
The fact is that nature's ralnmoking
machine Is too gigantic to be affected
by the puny efforts of humans at least
by any methods so far discovered.
Nature pumps tbe moisture laden air
np into tbe cold regions or tne upper
atmosphere with a wheel a thousand
miles in diameter, when this tre
mendous wheel of air is revolving nor
mally it hoists millions of tons of wa
ter vapor to an elevation where it can
no lonscr be carried in solution and
so falls in rain.
When the wheel is off adjustment it
is as futile to bombard the sky witn
dynamite as It would be to Ore popgun
corks at tbe side of the latest Dread
noughtKansas City Star.
Rd Water.
Apropos of the "red water" seen In
and about salt lakes Mr. F. Whltteron
writes that In all tbe samples exam
ined by him (at Geelong, Victoria,
Australia) the color was wholly due
to a curious little organism, eitner
oval or round, and equipped with two
small flngelln or lasbllke extensions.
When examined under a microscope
the bodies of these minute, specks of
living matter are seen to be Intensely
pigmented with a red coloring matter.
When the brine becomes saturated the
oval form changes to a circular shape.
When such a brine begins to crystal
lize the resulting salt has a reddish
tinge, and Mr. Whltteron suggests
that each organism may be the nucle
us about which a crystal forms. New
