lienefVcIent and wise, sho has probably
reserved thorn, though, for man s great
er neods, and so, little by little, as he
exhausts her more or leas easily obtaina
ble gifts, his rapidly broadening and
deepening scientific quest is discovering
in tho byproducts of human industry a
new source of supply for tho mainten
ance and progress of the race. The
search does not always stop at the thing
sought for, but frequently opens up to
view others of even (greater moment.
Thus, when tho Japancse-Russian war
menaced our platinum supply from the
chief mines of the world, which are
sriitmited in the Ural Mountains, on the
borders of Siberia—they are controlled by
a trust, which practically furnishes its
produce to us at its own prices—and so
greatly alarmed our manufacturers that
they petitioned congress to instruct the
interior department to look up platinum
in the United States, little was dreamt
of the wonderful effect this search would
have upon the world's gold output.
But hero a word as to platinum and
its uses may not he out of plaee, since
it will explain the readiness of the
government to acquiesce in these de
mands, compliance with yl'.iicfh has
brought forth such great and unexpect
ed results. Platinum is a steel gray-

comes from rock—the better part, such
as the white ami light brown sands of

great beds apart, 'ihe. uurk color of the
seasnore on 'I'iie Pari lie ocean. as seen
from the ocean, is duo to this black*
sand.
Space will not admit of following, step
by stop, -the progress of tin* geological
survey in its search and experiments.
It. will suffice to explain that in these,
conducted under Dr. David ’I'. Day. chief
of division of mining and mineral re
sources, it gathered a large number of
samples from plae.er miners in some
tliirty-four states and territories and in
<*uba. the interest shown being attested
l>y tho great quantity of samples and
the wide extent of country from which
they came. In an exhaustive, series of
laboratory tests a number <*f minerals
useful in the arts, platinum is paying,
and gold in extraordinary. quantities
were found in certain of those samples.
The department then proscciued field
work in some of the more promising
placer regions thus indicated, and aftor-
iw.xrd it conducted a series of elaborate
separation experiments \v:»ih the black
sand, at the Lewis and Clark exposition
at Portland. Oregon. The result of these
amply demonstrated tho tremendous
value of these black sands to the coun
try. those along several of the rivers of
■Colorado and of the Snake river, in
Idaho, and Oregon, being found to be
especially rich in platinum and gold.
I’p to now. in placer mining, gold has
lK*en saved in the sluices by mercury,
but a. great deal of it. being coated with
copper, or other metals which resist the
action of the mercury, was really thrown
away as waste. l)r. Day is authority
for the statement that there is u. great
deal of gold in black sand which has
never been gotten out, and that by run
ning it over a.nd by handling it with iho
proper concentrating machinery, 9b to 98
I>er cent of gold and platinum can be
saved, and, at tho same time, separate
•the other metals, so that they can be re
duced.
Miners generally have long known
that -black sand contains platinum, hut,
ignorant of its value., have made no at
tempt to save it. They have s:ill longer
known that there was gold in It, for
this fact was pointed out in Sin-llroeke’s
‘‘Voyage to California.” published in
Dondon in 1742; but the difficulty of
getting at it has discouraged all at
tempts to save it, and so they have
contented themselves until recently with
saving the free gold in placin' mines,
Jetting tin* black sand go. with the grav
el. to waste.
As with other great discoveries, those
who have eventually demonstrated to
the world the possilBlltles »»f the black
sand are not the first to have fully rec
ognized them. For the las’. twenty
years they have been known to at k-asr
one genius, who has been steadily a'
work for that period, in the effort to
perfect a process which should get ail
the gold and platinum out of the grains
of black sand. and with the most
economy. His process differs -to describe
f»- <» 1«1 l ft' it is a. trnrlft
secret—from that employed by Dr.
Day’s experts in that it is chemical in-
n cad of electrical; it simply distinte-
grates. not dissolves, the metaloids con-
•tained in the ‘black sand.
A company, capitalized at two million
dollars, and controlling several thousand
acres on the Snake river, in the bed and
in ih« coves- -former beds—of which vast
quantities eg this metal-bearing black
sand are to be found, was formed a
couple of years since t<* utilize this pro
cess; but the small coterie of gentlemen
comprising it did not open its stock sub-
scrij Lion until 'the said process was en
tirely past the experimental stage, and
until it could speak with certainty a~s to
cos-t of handling, returns, etc., and that
Ins only been recently. Tt. is now, how
ever. preparing for active operation, is
assembling its dredges and equipment,
and will probably be at work in a few*
weeks* time.
This conrpa-ny's—■the Empire State

machinery, paraphernalia and methods
for handling these black sands may be
briefly described 'thus; A dredge espe
cially cnnstru?ted fo»* it by the Allls-
Dhalmers Dompany. is used, the dredge
proper being accompanied by a second
scow', or tender; tho latter contains the
“riffles,” and the concentrating equlp-
mont a series of Washburn tables.
Tins*' latter are of iron, twelve inches
'vide by twelve feet long, and have a
perfcc-tly smooth surface; they arc so
arranged that they can be used as “eon-
eentra*ors.“ 01*, after the sand has been
treated by the chemical process. as
“separators.” The Washburn table has
a fore and aft movement, operated by
centrifugal power, can be run at a speed
<*t three thousand, and has a capacity
of thirty fee-t to the minute. it should
be stated that these tables—when used
as separators—are inclined, and that the
said inclination is governed by the
weight of metal (to d>e saved) propor
tioned to tho weight of water used; for
example, a table used to save platinum,
tho heaviest of the metals, would have
the greatest inclination. The dredge
turns over the sands to the tender, after
massing them through a 60-inch mesh;
then they go to the tables, which here
net as concentrators; the concentrate is
then treated chemically, whi<*h disinte
grates the grains, and those are con
veyed again to the tables. which now
separate the metals.
It is claimed that about five times as
n»r.*!i of the gold anil platinum can be
saved ‘by this as by other methods, or.
to be exact, S2.000 worth of these
against S380 in a ton of concentrates id*

that the dredge the company is having
constructed will handle 3,500 yards—five
thousand tons—of gravel in twenty-four

l iiis process, will mean to the world.
They would seem to dwarf all the other
byproduct utilizations yet made. The
geologi-al survey estimates that black
sand will enable us to at least nearly
supply our needs for platinum. That It

•Ime Sunday morning under a guy
tropical sun, I went there with a party
of .Martincian friends. X<>t by the most
extravagant flight of rhetoric could I
describe the impression made upon ns,
the violent shock tee sustained when,
at a sudden turn of the water route
from Carbet. we all at once caught
sight of Lite first ruined house of tho
port. There had been nothing to pre
pare us for such a sight. Barely four
years nave clasped since the catas
trophe. Five centuries would not ac
count for so strange a spectacle.
In the foreground emerged a bronze
fountain: then appeared the outlines
of a stone basin, covered with green
ery and moss: everywhere was a chaos
of tagged and disjointed blaek stones;
here and there gray. sun-blistered
walls loomed up. with blue sky peeping
through their long windows. And ail
this—tawny and irregular—rises from
an immense mass of verdure which
reaches far out into the distance and
meets the yellowish, denuded slopes
of the volcano.
Vt'hen we reached the city we made
our way into the Rue Victor Hugo, the
long central street that runs parallel
with the shore from ono end of St.
Pierre to the other. Tt is tho only one
at present freed of debris, and the
only one capable of serving as a high
way to connect the villages of Ceron
and Precheur, which were long left
isolated by the colossal rubbish heap
of tangled ruins. On either side it is
bordered by tall banks of unmortared
stones, upon which rest tho Avails of
the tottering houses. Grass, cacti,
enormous bamboos, and even palms,
have sprung tip everywhere, to right
and left. stri\’ing Avitii all their young
strength to reach those immovable
crests. Here and there a tree gets lost,
deceived, and attaches itself to some
disjointed stone, becomes entangled in
a window casement or a porch, and,
caught by tho wind, is overturned, its
green top left loaning across a great
bare Avail.
With silent tread, their bronzed feet
deep in the dust, native Martinicans
pass you by, carrying huge baskets
of mangoes, citrons and bananas on
their heads. Sometimes a grayish mon
goose darts swiftly across the road.
Save for the splashing of the AA’aA’Os
and the sound of an occasional falling
stone, tiie stillness is unbroken. XoA'er
so much as a bird song enlivens this
infinitely lonely waste.
Turning to the right. AVe pass the
tall ruins of the cathedral,
which sc-ems likewise struggling with
the vegetation that holds it locked in
its embrace. We cross the cemetery,
lately cleared of rubbish. Avhose long,
flat, Avliite slabs seem absolutely ironi
cal in this immensee potter’s held. -V

long ago are thus privileged, and
where, alone possessed of graves, they

A'ieAv—the best possible—of St. Pierre.
The shore is indented by a deep cove;
tiie sea, ever restless, borders it with
a fringe of foam, Avliieh looks from
here like a motionless Avliite thread.
Straight down beneath you the ruined
houses, roofless and all huddled to
gether, leave their butted. cubical
forms gaping Avide. But further on,
running from one thicket io another,

from the slopes of Carbet and hide

destroyed. pul\-erized by the A'olcano,
the buildings have neither form nor
contour. The vegetation has almost
totally submerged then). Only here
and there do they become visible, set
like strange Breton “long stones” in
the green plain.. In tlie distance, over
all this landscape, looms Mont Pelee,
yellow and bare. A mass of heavy
cloud shrouds its summit. Half vapor,
half smoke, it slowly writhes. Some
times; Avlien the cloud lifts for a mo
ment. (he great dome furtively appears
like some gigantic kiln. Countless
spurts of smoke are to he seen 600 feet
below its crest. White and blue. Avith
now and then a hint of steel gray, and
sinuous always, they creep to the A'ery
summit. Then come other and denser
clouds, covering tiie mountain and ef
facing everything. Sometimes one of
them breaks free, passes over the city,
and the AA-Ind sends its round, white,
gleaming masses racing across the blue
of the sky. On the ground and on the
silent ruins you seo s1oaa-1v wandering
tiie form of its huge shadow. Apart
from this nothing moves, nothing lives
in this A'ast and gloomy landscape. Al-
Arays, everywhere, tiie same impress
ive and incommensurable .silence. Not
a cry. not a sound goes up from that
dead city, Avliieh is being shrouded for-
ever in its tomb of Aordure!

like mere tufts of sparse grass above
tho clear-cut lines of the ramparts.

his fierce Berbet cavalry
in the wild rush of a
“powder-play” charge.
These performances were
j* : rt of a carefully thought
out scheme for terrorizing
the loyal portion of this
seaport, and inspiring the
mob, still wavering be
tween loyalty and rebellion. then came
the anti-Jewish riots, followed by toe
expulsion of some 500 or more llebretvs
frotn their homes. The town governor,
the Sultan's own nominee, was power
less before the force and Antioos’ dis
posal, anil had to obey the Berber chief
tain’s dictates to the letter. Meanwhile
tin wires were Hashing “Revolution in
Morocco!" and the French cruiser was
on her way southward trom rangier
to protect the European population, and
was, 1 am told, to “turn Anlloos out.’’
It was at this critical moment that,
against tiie advice of more tiian one old
resident, I summoned up courage to
ask an audience of Kaid Antioos. My
native page returned with the laconic
message: “Welcome, at 10 in the morn

lady and the page, I found my tvay

Dreams and Mental Disease.
(From The London Telegraph.)
The groat advance in the study o'
dreams, as indeed in psychology- ‘get.;
orally. Avas made by those modern phi
losophers who discovered that we could
i 1 row light on mental sanity by means
ol mental disease. It is not pleasant
io think that in dreams we become
more akin to the insane; yet such is
Be theory that has been lately ad
vanced, and which obviously lias a'good
deal to say for itself. Sanity means
precisely the possession of that will, in
telligence and concentration w-hoh pre-

tention, nil tend to disappear. We are
m- longer active; we are purely passive,
undergoing experiences which we ce„n-
not control. And this is precisely the
state of those who, through whatever
cause, have lost tiie key of intelligent
perception, have gecotne hysterical, neu-
rrpathie, insanse.
