( erinn to. lit It * Wild State , but Not After It llii llecome Civilized. Some reasons for answering this question In the nlllrmntlvo nro given by "Popular Mechanics , " which warns the reader , however , that he must not expect to grow gold angles from del lars. Says the writer : "It has been found tlmt gold nuggets under favorable conditions actually in crease in size. Gold Is known to have grown on mine timbers which have long been immersed in mine water. In the California State Mining Bureau museum there is a specimen of a piece of jointed cap and post taken from the Comstock , where It had been under water for years , In which gold has fonnod In the Joints and pores of the wood. Gold Is constantly being formed In rocks and veins and placers. Just what It Is that the baby gold formation feeds on to effect its growth Is not known. If it wete , a new and wonder fully lucrative Industry might bo born , and all other kinds of farming nave the growing of gold might temporarily bo abandoned. The formation and growth are due to mechanical and chemical ac tion. As in the case of the animal or vegetable the gold has existed In some other state before assuming its present form. Waters which percolate through the earth's crust are said to contain substances from which gold Is formed. Thus cold , like the animal and vegetable , must have water m oracr to thrive. The gold In the water is de posited when It meets the proper pre cipitant The precipitant miiy bo an carpi current of electricity , some vege table growth or chemical in the rocks. It has been claimed that the nuggets found In pincers are the formations from the waters that percolate through the gravels , and are not from decom posed quartas generally supposed. Those who so contend cite the fact tlmt In the center of nuggets can bo often found a small grain of iron sand. This was the nucleus around which the earth current of electricity created or deposited In electroplating. During long ages this influence was at work causing the gold to form around the lit tle grain of Iron ere and then grow to become a bright , shining nugget of gold much larger and purer than any over found In the veins of oro. " _ _ _ THE FEMININE FIB , A Jnillclnnn nicnd of lllnck. AVhlte , Cruy nml Clilitenc Lien. A distinguished preacher once divid ed lies into "black lies , white lies , gray lies and Chinese lies. " The feminine fib Is generally n judicious blend of the white He and the Chinese lie. For the bcncllt of those who have never grad uated in the special mendacity tripos It may bo explained that a Chinese Ho Is , as a rule , purely ornamental , being of the nature of embroidery , which Is in tended to add beauty and color to the plain object on which it is used as trimming. The Chinese Ho Is prompted by the very highest and noblest of motives namely , n duslro to give pleasure to others , many a plain , dull fact being served up and made quite tasty and appetizing by a little Judicious garni ture of Chinese cr embroidery. Di rected Into the proper channel , a Chi nese liar becomes a skillful writer of fiction and turns bur gift to profitable account. Hut the everyday feminine amateur , who has not this outlet for her turradlddular talent , turns her at tention to the afternoon tea table and adds n spice to whatever gossip Is goIng - Ing by a gentle peppering of fibs. Unfortunately this gift of imagina tion Is often accompanied by * a defec tive memory , whereas to make a good or prevaricator nothing is so essen tial as a good memory. Without this the employer of the Chinese method is almost certain to get found out sooner or later generally sooner and then she has the mortification of finding that her little efforts to please quite fall in their effect. And not only that ; but , what Is more trying still , she even finds 'that when from lack of material for fictional purposes she does for once servo up the cold , ungarnlshcd truth her hearers have so got in the habit of disbelieving her that her plain state incut is received with Incredulity. That is why any one who alms at distinction in the fibbing world must carefully cul tlvate a good memory and so follow the Golden Uulo to avoid being found out Modern Society. TIMIDITY AND TALENT , A 1,9rlt of Connisre IN the Death of n Great Deal of Ability. A great deal of talent 1s lost to the world for the want of a little courage. 3very day sends to their graves a mini- ) er of obscure men who have only re mained obscure because their timidity ms prevented them from making a first effort and who , if they could have been nduccd to begin , would in all proba- jlllty have gone great lengths In the career of fame. The fact Is that to do anything in this world worth doing wo mist not stand shivering on the brink and thinking of the cold and danger , ) Ut jump In and scramble through as well as we can. It will not do to bo > crpctually calculating risks and ad- ustlng ulco chances. It did very well > efore the llood , when a man could consult his friends upon an Intended scheme for a hundred and fifty years and then live to sec Its success for six or seven centuries afterward. 15ut at ) resent a man waits and doubts and icsltates and consults his brother and ils uncle and his lirst cousins and pur- iculnr friends till one fine day he finds .hat he Is sixty-live years of age ; that 10 has lost BO much time In consulting irst cousins and particular friends that he 1ms no time left to follow their ad vice.
