determine with eomo degree of precision the
amount ,
The results of Prof. Llversldne's re
searches ate little less thin astounding.
Where no previous Investigator has been
nblo to 11 ml more than a minute traee
which , If leprcscnted In Ihjurcs would not
perhaps amount to n 'tenth of grain per ton
of sea water , this Australian piofess r bus
llrmly demonstrated that all sea water con
tains more than halt n ( iialn per ton , a'ld
that much of It contains more than a full

Of course this amount Is still very minute ,
for a grain of gold dissolve 1 HO as to re

like a trice of oil , on the top of water.
Nevertheless when even thli small quan
tity Is considered In relation to the enor
mous volume of water In the sea. the total
amount of geld which the ocean contains
mounts up to simply an unthinkable mini
TONS OP GOLD TO TII1J CUI1IC MILK
At from half to one gia.n per ton a
cubic mile of sea water contains betvcen
130 and 2GO tons of solid gold At $20 an
ounce the aUual value Is somewhat In
excess of this a ion of K Id Is worth a
little short of $500000. In other words a
cubic mile of EC.I water contains gold to
the value of between $ IT.,000 000 nnd $130 -
000,000 On the surface of the globe there
Is computed Ube between .100,000,000 and
400 000,000 cubic miles of ocean. Taking
the smaller of those estimates , at half a
grain per ton the total amount of gold In
I bo HCI would be above thirty-live million
billions At one grain pel ton It would
bo Just twice Ibis seventy million billions
It Is almost Impossible to grasp the mig-
nltudo of uch n sum Some compirU ins
will help The total amount of gold In nil
tlio world at the present lime Is calculated
nl something like $5,000000000 or ? C COV
000.000. The computed wealth of the
United States , and this Is the richest nation
on eirth , Is nomctliliiK Me $60,000 eon OOil

the ocean Is a million times this. The ocean
Is , Indeed , a gold mine compared with whose
value the present wealth nf all the natlona
of tl'e > world pinks Into Insignificance
Cnrlouslv enough the presence of gold In
the sea water was not suspected even by
chemists until the airi'i'iiuement made by
Prof Wurtr In ISfiG before tbe American
Association foi the Advancement of Science.
I\PII then the fact wis not generally ac-
rcpted. and It was not until the famoun
Hngllsh chemist , Sonatadt. reported Investi
gations whose results confirmed the viewof
Pro' Wuit/ thai the fact was believed bv
scientific men Hut neither Sonstadt nor
Wurtz were able to secure more than a more
tiace of the presence of the precious metal ,
and many chemists who came after Ihei.i
could not nnd even this So late as two

CONCLUSIVE nnMONSTIlATIONS MADH
Prof Llversldgo began his Investlgallon
al the Unlvetslt ) of Syd icy bomethlng like
Iwo years ago and has Just reported the le-
sults to the lloyal Society of Australia The
method which ho employed vvca a long and
romp'leMted one , and In order to yield any
results at all tbe utmosl care and precision
WES required The sea wrier in chcmicilly
clean bottles , was llrst treated with a solu
tion of pure ferrous sulphate dissolved 'n '
water , and to this solution a few drops of
hdrooblorlc acid were added This was then
hratid slowly so as to present ebullition ,
and aboul halt the water drawn off by evapo
ration
In the pioccss of heating n film of lus
trous Iron oxide was formed on the sides
of tbe vessel , and when this had attained
Its maximum thickness the water was en
tirely poured off and thH film treated with
chlorine , the resulting solution then
evaporated and fin liter treated with diluted
hydrochloric acid This liquid was then
poured Into test tubes containing a solution
of stannous chloride After standing still
for a few inlnutea gold would then show In
thin bluish or purple tints on the suiface ef
the solution Allowed to remain for eomo
little time a gray precipitate was formed ,
which , when dried , scorified and cuppled ,
y lelded n minute bead of gold
In order to check this process and alao
to determine whether nil the gold contilned
In the tea water raturally had Ihcreby
been extiacled , Prof Llversldgo made up an
artificial solution containing smill quantities
of K"l 1 and subjected It to the same process
With the greatest care the loss In the gold
recovered ini.gcd from 10 to 31 per cent , re
vealing clearly that the sea water actually
contains a rrnsldciahly gieater amount of
go'd than that revealed by Prof Llvcrsldge's
pIOCCtfB
In ordo" to establish his discoveries be
yond any question , Prof. Llvcisldgo em
ployed sevcia ! other pioccssea of a similar
nntuie , nil of which yielded equally con
clusive icsulls , though i'ot all of them ie-
vealed so large a quantity. The long con
troversy may thcrcfoio bo regarded 03
Dually settled.
Hut In the practical American mind the
question ren nlna. tan the gold in the sea
water ever bo extracted at a profit ? The
question apparently does not greatly Inter
est Prof Llversldgo , and It is reasonably
ceitaln that In the long and complicated
pioccss by.lilch he effected he oxtiacllon
would mean an expense all out of propoi-
llon to the amount of gold obtained This
Is where ni ) part of the t-tory comes In.
IT DIDN'T PAN OUT.
Some ) can > ago when on a roughing tour
In the northutst , on a lonely mountain sldo
In the Cascades , I chanced upon a prospec
tor holding down a btray claim. The latter
at hot Is hardly to bo classed as a cheerful
occupation , and thcro nro times when Its
loneliness hangs like a pall A kindled
human with whom to hold converse Is a
welcome visitor always , and at : ny prospec
tor-host turpeil out to bo a curious and ex
ceedingly Intctesting Individual. I not only
Htoppe-d with him for hc-veral days , but saw
miHh of him In the following months 11"
was one of these veihatllo geniuses who only
Hcem to lack organization 01 concentration
to achieve a high degiee of success He-
was an all-around assayer , metallurgist ,
chemist and electrician , and what cl.io I
know not , besldrci being the leader of an
orchestra In the city In the winter months
When , theiofore , I had grown Into friendly
terms with him , and Into his confidence. It
was not with n great deal of surprise thai
I one day icculved his announcement that
ho had dlscovcicd the greatest gold mint :
In the world a mine "BO vast , " ho de
clared , apparently piqued at my lack of ex- '
tltement , "that were Its existence to bo-
eomo known the price of gold would fall '
so enormously It would ceasu to be lined at
a money iiictal. "
Indeed , U wa this latter fact which ap
parently exciclsed my host far more than
ways and means to woik his mine. Finally
with the Idia that I was lo attempt to se
cure the tapltal required In the enterprise ? ,
I was let Into the great sec-rut.
Ills gold mine was the sea !
Starting on the Idea , which was then n
pure assumption , that gold actually txlstea
In the sea water , the professor , an I found
my friend was known , had ilovlscd a very
simple and very li.gcnlous apparatus for the
electrical dc'posltlan of the gold ujiun chem

to arrange UUKO plates In largo sheets and
subject them te > nn electric curie-nt of n

they were to be hauled out nnd scraped nnd
then thrust back , the dcraplngs meanwhile
being melted up Into Ingots.
HII.UON'S IN IT.
Ilc'lde the professor's eellmnto of the
pinbable yield of his "mine" Colonel

Mich n Hood of jellovv inottO n would
make It n inurto how to get the gold Into
property biforo Its value would fall to
nothing Ilo had considered every detail
of the case mid had carefully matured his
plans.
"Vou SOP. " lu explained to me. "II would
never do'to patent this clevlre , for lint
would Immediately ilUclme the scot el nnd
there would be no way in the world of
preventing thousands of others to equip
ships with simll.tr nppiratus nnd go mining
In the sea nor would there bp nil ) posnlblo
way of collecting loyalties In fact , you
see tlio royalties wouldn't bo worth much
of anything anyway because When the
secret got out gold would simply bo do-
monetised and Its vnliio fall to little or
nothing "
The professor , therefore , had evolved a
plan to cepilp a large vessel KO oft Into un
known vvi-ters and never touch land iiRiln
until IIP had con oiled enough gold from
the ste.i to nnke e\erjbod5 Intorositod In
the von t tire as rich as a hundred Croesuses
Then , having got this safely eonveiti'd Into
propertv. the professor figured to himself
to make a long reach for und > lng renown
by announcing his mniveloils process
1 u-member at the llmo I suggested to
the profesior that at the sight of such un-

of the foremost electricians of this country ,
with the Intent to nsk If Iu view of the- fact

appeared any practical meana for its extrac

tion.And
And this Is where the' peculiar part of
this story comes In Prof. Crocker sug-
prsts the possibility of success with precisely
the same protest that my old friend In the
Case-ados had woiked out. Just what
Ciocker said was Hils-
PHOP CIlOCKnil'S VIEW.
"If there Is sufficient gold In the sea
water , a current of low voltage pissed
tinough the water will cnL-so a deposition
of the gold. This Is niually true * ns re
gards Mlvcr. The curicnt will attack gold
and silver before nnj other substances. It
Is slniplv n process of bclccllvo electroljsls
It remains to bo detcrmlneel whether so
small a quantity ns n grain or n half n
grain could bo precipitated
"Hut II clocks not t-eem to mo' that It
would ho ntctvsiry to go to the expense of
equipping n ship , or to drag > our plates
through the witor. It bocms to mo that It
would bo eiulte tmlllclcnt to liing them nn-
ele-rneath any docks that extend into the
clear sea ami aio not around the nioutn.s
of rivers where the water will bo full of
slime The action of the tides would pie-
senl nn over fresh imantity of water to
tlio plates , anil ns rast as tlicy were covered
they could bo e > ciapcd and the gold
separated out of the scrapings In this
way jour process would be much cheiper.
and as I take It the whole matter Is u
question of expense and result , this would
bo an Item.
"I am very far from si > lng that the
thing lb possible , but nt the bamo time
there are no Hat Impossibles nn tha face of
the matter. What I mean Is , Just us I n ild
at thu ( list , that If there i.s a sulllclent
iiuantlty of gold In boliitlon , it can bo pre
cipitated electrally ( , and tlio only further
matter to bo determined Is wliether this
can bo done at a sufllclentlv low cast to
make it profitable. A grain of gold Is
worth about a nickel , a half grain , 2'
cents A ton of sea water Is roughl > about
a cubic inetei n little more than a cubic
jard Hcduced to Its simplest terms the
problem Is How much of this gold can
> on get , and what will It coat > ou to get
If Iheso are purob matters for expoil-
ment and I do not doubt that someone will
make tbo practical test "
It Is Indeed possible that thrse tests will
bo made In the Columbia School of Mines ,
under Prof Crocket's direction Mcan.vhilo
for theibo who are Interested It may be
worth mentioning that flvo jeais ago a
Swedish professor of chemlbtiy. Minister
proposed to all etch a series of plates across
tbo mouth of an Inlet fit.m the eca , and
test the ijitt-Ktlon as to whether the gold
would bo deposited on these platen If they
were properly prepaicd. Wliether this was
over done or whether any results worth
mentioning were obtained , I have never
been able to find out.
PniUUU'S AS A UYrilODUCT.
Hut if the attempt at dliect extraction
of gold and silver fiom the sea falls. It
mi ) jet be attained In anuthei wu > . nnd
that is by gaining the gold as a by-product.
The gieatest sliver mint In tlio United
States , tbo Anaconda In Montana , was orig
inally a copper mine , ami still is an enor
mous producer of copper. Hut for a long
time , although the presence of the silver
was Known , there was no way of nepaialln
It from the copper profitably. The ellscojorj
of a new pincecs icmilted in the navnm o.
millions upon millions of silver that had
hlthoito been literally thrown nwa >
'Ilio octan Is not only a stupendous gold
mine , and silver mine as well , but It ton-
tains enoiiHOiis stores of lare and valuable-
chemicals , such ns Iodine and bromide b
sides Some chemical ianlus ; may ono d iy
find a waj to obtain these ( alter themlcalH
from the bca watti cheaply and then It mav
bo that the gold nnd slhei of tbe MI ; will
bo saved ns n by-product of this proces.1 , Just
as Is the silver In the Anaconda mine
At any rate the pi Up Is worth trying for
