The Cliff Dwellers.
Tn New Mexico and Arizona there
are hundreds of rains of huge houses
among the cliff.4, from tour to six sto
rics in height an-1 some -. them hav
ing over 500 room!. They were built
by the Pueblo Indians, who, before
the new world was discovered, were
living in their strange houses that were
forts, almost secure from attack by
t inveterate foes, the fier co
aches. While hundreds of them
are crumbling with the dust
of centurie,. some haYe been occu
pied by Pueblos within historic timez.
They were invariably of stone, and laid
with remarkable skill. They are all
terraced and-the front of the buildings
look like Ifights of gigantic steps.
There are no doors or windlows in
the outer walls, and no stairs, all en
trance being by ladders. They bailt
their houses where nature had ar
ranged for their security, in the cliffs
or on th3 tops of mesas or rock isl
ands. Modern research has proved
that the "cliff dwellers" are not an ex
tinct race, but have moved from the
deserted ruins as the centuries went
on, and that the descendants are the
present Puebl6 Indians, a peculiar and
interesting people, living comfortably,
peaceable und industrious. -Philadel

Fioral Decurations at the White House.
Of all the flowers use on state occa
sions at the Executive Mansion,
orchids are considered the most beau
tiful and effective, and generally grace
the highest of the President's social
functions. For instance, in determin
ing upon the floral display for a diplo
matic dinner, Mrs. Cleveland is in
formed as to the best the conservato
ries can afford for this occasion. After
deciding upon the flower to be used
(as the decorations are generally all
of one kind), Mrs. Cleveland expresses
her preference to the head gardener,
who thereupon *holds a consultation
with the steward, who arranges that
the flowers, the lamp-shades, and the
ribbons for the table shall all be per
fectly harmonious. In caso the Cy
pripedium insigne is chosen for a din
ner, the table is banked and massed
with them, a corsage knot is placed
beside the plate of each lady, while a
single flower is provided as a bouton
nier for each gentleman. -Demorest's

Startimg Results.
Some startling results, stated Lord
Rayleigh the other day at the Royal
Institution, have been obtained in iun
vestigating the sensitiveness of the
ear to sounds. By one method he
found that the ear is capable of re
sponding to an amount of condensa,
tion and refraction in the air equal to
one twezity-milhonth of an atmos
phere, though by other experiment;
the amount seemed to be a tenth less.
A point of some difliculty is how do
we kuow the direction of sounds. By
trial he found that pure sounds, such
-as those of a- tuning forik, tell their
direction with certainty only when at
the right or left; while with other
Eounds, such as those of the voice or
.of clapping the hands, the eat could
easily judge the direction, wherever
it was, -New York News.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
HOW MUCH DRY FODDER?
The quantity of dry fodder given to
a cow may be fifteen to twenty pounds
.daily. It depends on what other feed
is given, as if part of the feed is en
silage, or roots, or much grain is
given, less hay will be needed. But if
hay and grain alone are used, the feed
may be twenty pounds of each, or two
thirds of hay and one-third meal. It
is best to have the grain-ground as
finely as possible, and the food is best
digested when the hay is cut into
chaff and wetted and the meal is
mixed with it. The food is then better
masticated; and this first digestive
process, when best done, aids the
other digestive organs to do their
work. -American Farmer.
A M mAM TROLLEY.
I have a wire stretched from my
,stable to the dairyhouse for carrying
milk. The wire is seventy-five yards
long and of quarter-inch steel. A
trolley wheel was made from an old
Singer sewing machine. A pair of
small blocks hook on to the trolley,
also a book underneath for the milk
can. The wire is drawn taut to clear
the ground in the centre, where a wire
naturally sags. A boy ten years old
can thus care for fifteen to twenty gal
lons of milk with ease. My wire has
been in use four years, and has. been
worn more by the children riding if
than dispatching milk.-Farm and
Home.
SHALLOW CULTURE FOn CORN.
I would advise fall plowing in case
the land was stubble or meadow. Plow
six to seven inches deep in the fall,
but in the spring five inches is suffi
cient. The rougher the surface of
fall-plowed ground the better. Pul
verize, compact and level the seed-bed.
Plant any time between May 1 and 23.
As far as yield is concerned, there is
very little difference between hill and
drill planting, but it is usually advis
able to check the corn, as it can then
be kept clean easier. The thickness
of planting will depend upon the use.
In drilling where grain alone is de
sired, plant in rows three and two
third feet apart, one kernel to every
foot. If the corn is to be fed as fod
der, plant thick-er, puttingin one ker
nel to every six or nine inches. In
hill planting endeavor to get four h-er,
nels in each hill. Harrow immediate
ly before planting, as this destroys all
weeds and enables the plants to get a
good start before cultivation is neces
sary. Cultivate the, ground, begin
ning with a slant-toothed harrow, and
keep the ground free 'from weeds dur
ing the entire season, using a shallow
cultivator. Experiments made at the
Illinois station for a number of years
show that an increased yieid of almost
six bushels per acre has resulted from
shallow cultivation. The crossing of
varieties has increased the yield. This
may be accomplished by planting dif
frent kinds in alternate rows. Al
though corn has been grown at the
station on one plot continuously for
npeteen years with fair results, a ro
tation is absolutely necessary for corn
raising. The following five-year ro
tation is desirable: Beginning with a
meadow or clover sod, plant to corn
two years, then seed to oats or wheat
for one year, following with grass or
clover for two years, and then put
again in corn.--New England Home

Salt for cattle is more important in
summer than in winter. When the

There is nothing like a clover patch

RECIPES.
Coffee Gelatine-Soak one-third of
a box of gelatine in cold water half an
hour. Add one-half cup of sugar,
three-fourths quart of strong, hot
coffee. Strain and set in molds to
soluble gold. Ulnless arrested by other
deposits of iodine the released gold
would rain down upon the bottom of
the sea in continued showers.
"The question of obtaining this
gold from the ocean is the most im
portant that concerns us to-day. If
these vast reservoirs of gold could be
opened up to commerce the world
would be deluged with yellow metal.
No one could wish that the yield would
e be too large, for the depreciation of
e the metal would be so great that no
0 thrown upon the world's markets.
1 The whole ocean could not be raked
over in thousands of years. and the
discovery of the new sources of supply
would rosult only in satisfying people
a that gold is plentiful enough in the
L land and ocean to supply all future
generations with it. The fear of agold
i famine could no longer be enter
tained.
"The soluble gold can be readily
1 precipitated from the iodine, and
I hence from the salt water, and at the
rate of one-tenth of a grain to the ton
it would pay a large concern to put
up enormous vats to receive the waters
of the ocean. A series of such vate
could dispose of thousands of tons of
water in a day. Before this is done,
a however, the question of location must
be decided. It would not pay to put
up expensive machinery along the
I coast where the yield was one-tenth of
a grain when another part of the ocean
would yield as high as one-quarter or
one-half of a grain. The latter would
I soon drive the first concerns out of
the business. The northern latitudes
so far have given a higher percentage
of gold than the southern, and it is
possible yet to discover places where
the yield will be quite large. Off the
Isle of Man the yield was found to be
about one-thirteenth of a grain and
the water from the Kristinia fjord
yield one-tenth of a grain. In the
Southern Pacifc the yield has run as
low as one-fifteenth of a grain and off
the Greenland Coast the water pro
duced a higher solution of gold than
either of the other three places.
"From the results so far obtained
we may judge that in a few years ef
forts will be made ot a large scale to
extract gold from the ocean for com
mercial purposes. The question has
hardly yet left the laboratory of the
scientist, but usually where there is
money to be made the transition from
scientific experiment to practical ap
plication is very sudden. This we may
predict of ocean gold mining"
Games of the Iroquois.
The Onondagas, of all the Iro
quois, have clang most firmly to their
tribal traditions; every summer a
meeting, lasting several days, is held
in the Long House of the Nation, at
which th~e old men take turns in ex
horting the young to hold steadfast to
the ancient faith, while the ancient
games and amusements in which they
indulge on their reservation near Syr
acuse are most interesting. Their year
ly merrymakings number thirteen,
and include the Berry Festival, which
celebrates the arrival of the straw
berry, the Festival of the First Ripen
ing Fruit, the Festival of the First
Fruit of the Trees, and the Green
Corn Festival. Each of these is at
tended with feasting during the day
and dancing at night. Those taking
part in the dance of the Green Corn
Festival wear masks, some woven from
corn husks, others made of wood and
horsehair, and with the moving fig
ures, the silent watchers, and the
calm, soft light of the midsummer
night, the scene is a weird and most
impressive one.
The most popular game of the Iro
quois is a variety of ball, in which
representatives of the four brother
clans, the Wolf, the Beaver, the Bear,
and the Turtle. are matched against
members of the Deer, the Snipe, the
Heron and the Horse tribes. T wo
poles are placed at each end of the
ground, and each member of the com
peting parties strives to carry the
balls between his own poles a desig
nated number of times. The play be
gins in the center, and neither party
can touch the ball with hand or foot.
Javelin, a game very popular in the
spring and autumn, is played by cast
ing a dart at either a fixed or moving
ring; and snow and snake, another
favorite game. consists in sending a
long hickory staff with a round heads
slightly bent and pointed with lead,
in an undulating course as far over the
snow as possible. Archery is still
very popular among the Iroquois, and
blind man's buff is held in high favor
during the winter months. But the
recital by the old men of their legends
and traditions is the pleasure which
the Iroquois prize most dearly of all.

GOLD IN THE SEA.
VAST MINES OF THE PRECIOU
METAL IN THE OCEAN.
Millions of Tons Said to Be Held i
Solution In the Form of Io
dine-How It May Be
Garnered.
ORTY-FOUR years ago Mals
guti and Durocher startled th
world by announcing that th
ocean contained silver, but i
such small proportions that it wouli
hardly prove profitable to attempt t
gather it, says the Philadelphia Times
The more important and far-reachin
discovery has now been made that th,
waters of the vast oceans contain goli
in solution in such quantities that thi
annual output could be more tha
trebeled if science finds a way of ex
tracting the precious metal.
There is reason to believe that i3
the future more gold will be extracte
from the salt waters of the ocean tha
from the mines now worked in th<
richest part of the world'sgold regions
The vastasize of the oceans make th<
field practically inexhaustible,. ani
while the mines of the land are yield
ing their thousanis of tons the sea
will produce their millions. Evez
though the gold is found in smal
quantities the aggregate yield woul
be enormous. Professor Hamsey, on
of the best gold experts and miner
alogists in this country, has given con
siderable attention to the subject, ani
in speaking about it he ge some in
teresting facts.
"It seems almost like revrving th!
dreams of the alchemists in predicting
that gold will soon be producei
abundantly by ocean miners," he said
"Nevertheless, there is sufficien
scientific data to warrant one in thi
speculation. It is no new thing t<
discover either silver or gold in sal
water, but recent researches hav
directed more interest toward the sub
ject by proving that the quantity i
large enough to be of practical use,
The exact quantity that a ton of oceaz
water contains depends upon loca
conditions, and varies all the way fron
one-twelfth to one-quarter of a grain.
Even much higher proportions of goli
may be found in portions of the oceai
not yet investigated. The tempera
ture of the water greatly affects tht
amount of gold held in solution, thi
warmer the water the less amount one
would find, and the colder the tem
perature the more that would be helt
in solution.
"Taking the low figures given fo:
the waters in warm climates-one
thirteenth of a grain of gold to one
ton of sea water-and what probabli
yieIl of gold would one find ? Why,
it would be an enormous quantity
one that would completely eclipse our
present product on the land. The
average depth of the ocean has beer
scientifically .estimated at 250(
fathoms, with 400,000,000 cubic milet
of space. In this vast area aboui
1,837,030,272,000 millions tons oj
water are deposited-an amount that
is hardly conceivable when expressed
in figures. Well, if each ton yielded
the lowest quantity of gold obtained,
the whole yield of the ocean would be
about 10,250 million tons of gold.
"Compare the amount of gold ii
the ocean with the total quantity thai
has been taken from the gold mines o.
the world during the last four een
turies. The total output of the whole
world from 1494 to 1894approximatied
about 5020 tons, and the present an
nual output is about 200 tons. Whai
an insignificant quantity ! And the
reports are that the gold mines of the
world are showing decided signs o:
exhaustion. This gold in the occan ii
held in solution by the iodine whiel
is obtained from the iodate of calcium.
If you mix gold with solutions o:
iodine it can very readily' be reducer
to a soluble state, and in this condi
tion it can be prevented from drop
ping through the water to the bot
tom. Possibly the lower strata o
water contains certain considerable
quantities of precipitated gold that
has never yet been reached by deel
soundings. We know that it is fre.
quently released and dropped by th<
iodine, for this latter is absorbed by
the sea weeds and plant growths of th
ocean. Along the coasts of Grea
Britain, France and Sweden th
"kelp" or sea weed is gathered an<
burred, and then from the ashes
iodine is extracted. This iodine in it;
simple form in the water, before bein;
absorbed by the plants, holds the gel<
of the ocean in solutio.
"Every time this iodine liberates
the gold it probably drops to the bot
tom of the ocean to fbrm beds of gold
for future generations. Should the
ocean ever recede from the Sargassc
Sea great veins of precipitated gold
may be found there, for the vast for
eats of seaweed are continually ab
sorbing - the iodine and releasing the
one would be actually benefited by ii
Besides, the money centres of th
world would be shaken to their founda
tions. Coin and currency of all kin<
would be so altered in value that ni
man could tell rightly what he wa
