The Electrical Demand tor Copper.
Every new development of electricity
fields, it would seem, to the demand for
copper, but it Is only lately that in
•elegraphy a very large «se bas been
found for the metal, as the majority Of
the circuits hitherto have been made of
Iron wire. An instance of a new de
mand for the metal which had hitherto
been hardly suspected is found in the
last report of the Western Union Tele
graph company. It was there stated
that the company, during the year end
ing Juue, 18U.Ï, added to its wire
lengths a net length of 11,859 miles,
and that over 10,000 miles of the new
wire is of copper. Further, the compa
ny has adopted the policy of replacing
nil defective iron wires with copper,
the intention being to use that metal
nlone on all the principal lines hereaf
ter. The advantages of saving in
weight, increased capacity for electric
al transmission and diminished liability
to interruption from atmospheric con
ditions are sufficient to make the cop
per wires, more economical in the end,
notwithstanding their greater first cost.
The decision has been assisted, also,
l>y the fact that the improvements in
processes for drawing copper wire have
enabled makers to furnish material
well adapted for telegraphic use. The
size of copper used for telegraphic lines
is generally No. 9 or 10 B and S, weigh
ing about 190 pounds to the mile. This
would require, for 10,000 miles, about,
700 tons of copper, an amount not so
important in itself, but as indicating a
tendency to increased demand.

Ituth Ashmore ill January Ladies'
Home Journal writes of tlie guest and

table, wedding customs and various
minor social points. To the woman
who is the gest at. a friend's

is to be one of several days or weeks
you must make your hostess, if she has
not been wise enough to state it in her
invitation, understand in your answer
not only exactly what time and hour
when you will arrive, but exactly the
»lay and hour when you will leave, and
you will show great wisdom if, no mat
ter how much you are enjoying your
self, you refuse to prolong your visit.
During your stay you must find every
thing pleasant that your hostess ar
ranges for you. Ask no special service
of a servant. You must neither expect
nor ask that your laundry be done in
the house, and you must take great
care not, to leave the dainty toilet table
or tli» pretty room in disorder. After
your <eturn to your home you should
write a letter to the lady you I.ave

kindness she has shown you, and send

There is more than one food
which will cause the body tc
increase in weight. A free
supply of sugar will do this;
so will the starchy foods;
cream, and some other fats.
But to become fleshy, and yet
remain in poor health, is not
what you want. Cod-liver oil
increases the weight because
it is a fat-producing food. But
it does far more than this. It
alters, or changes, the pro

the normal functions of the

that, when a person gains in
weight from taking Scott's

things: First, the oil has
acted as a fat-producing food;
and, second, it has restored
to the body a healthy condi

is permanent: it comes to stay .

so here he was, on this June night,
with just $1.11 in his pockets, as he
moodilj walked into Logan Square
and sat ou a beuch;
This June night it was too hot to
think. So he closed his eyes and lit
ened lassily to the car bells and to the
hum of the insects, and wondered if
life was always as prosy as he found
it.
"Warm, Benny, isn't it?" said a
voice at his elbow.
"Hullo, Kate! What brings you
here?"
"Brv.ith of air," she answered. Then
--"Husband died last week."
"You don't say?" said Benny. "Why,
I didn't know you were married."
"Yep. Been married six years.
Say," she broke in quickly, "still re
porting?"
No; I'm doing special work now.
Writing anything writable."
Well, I got a good story for you.
Give me half of what It, brings and I'll
tell it to you."
'It's a go," said Benny. "I need
money badly now. Fire ahead."
"Well, lets go on the river, Benny.
It's cooler there."
"Can't afford it, Kate. I've only got
a few pennies over a dollar, and that
wouldn't go far, you know."
That's so," she assented. "Weil'
here goes for the story, then. First.
Benny, you must understand thnt I
was a great deal prettier six years ago
than I am now, and I wasn't so— er—
er— well, I was different. There were
two fellows that wanted me—both
good-looking fellows, and moved in
good society. I was pretty tame then,
and I acted awful Innocent and spoke
grammatical. But six years of bad
company can change anybody; can't
it, Benny?"
"Yes; I guess It can," he answered.
"Well, Walter Baring and Joe Davis
were the two fellows. Baring got
killed In Fennessy's. Remember that
night, Benny? You got around Just
after the shooting, and I hustled out
the back way just before the patrol
came up."
"Baring went In to drag a little
flower girl out of the dive, didn't he?"
"Yes; it seems that Baring was one
of those goody-goodies that wanted to
save the world. He went In to tell the
girl to come out, and one of the fel
lows struck her, and Baring struck
him. Then some one fired a pistol,
and Baring dropped."
"Yess yes; I remember now. So
Baling was one of the fellows that
loved you?"
"Yes; but Joe Davis married me.
Joe told me all about it nfterward.
You see, it was this way. Joe and Bar
ing were chums, and both loved ine.
Another friend of theirs, Harry Can
ton "
"The insurance man?"
"Yes; the one with the big whiskers.
Well, as I was saying, Canton saw
which way the wind was blowing, und
he went around prying. Then he in
vited Joe and Baring up to his house
one night, and snid sompthinpc like
this: "You fellows both love the rame
girl, and are chums. In olden times
you'd settle who loved her the better
by shooting «t each other. Whoever
wasn't killed would marry her. But
We're civilized now. and I'm going to
See wljich of you idiots loves her.' "
" 'I'd die for her.' said Baring; but
Joe didn't say anything at all.
" 'Well, I don't think either of you
want her,' said Canton, 'for I found
out something that will surprise you.
Her mother is in jail now, and her
father was shot for stealing horses
out West. The girl has the instincts
of both, and some day It will crop out.
This is as true as God is above me.
boys,' he said. Pretty mean In him,
wasn't it, Benny, going and finding
out the family secrets?"
Benny said it was pretty mean; and
the girl went on with her story.
"Well. Baring jumped up and caught
Canton by the hand. 'Thank you. old
man." ho sald:T'm done with her.' But
Joe just sa* still and quiet like. 'Well'
Joe,' said Canton, 'what do you think
of her now ?'
" 'I love her,' said Joe, very quietly.
'I love her, Canton; and what her
father was or mother is doesn't make
any difference. I love her.'
"Well, they tried to talk him out of
loving me; but they couldn't; and me
and Joe got married. That was his
way. von know, always quiet; but
when lie decided on anything you
couldn't mov eliim
"His folks took on terribly when we
got married. He was In ills father's
store-sort of partner, you know—and
his father broke up the partnership
and wouldn't have anything to do with
us. So we got a.couple of rooms, aud
Joe gave me nearly $4.000 to put in
the bank. But I lost the money some
how or other, and Joe felt awful about
it when I told him. He didn't scold
ne. Benny. He just said it was un
forl nnate."
"Why. how in the world did you
come to lose It?" queried Benny.
"Dunno. Suppose I wasn't strictly
sober at the time, and wasn't used to
«o much money in my clothes. I ought
to be excused on that score, oughtn't
I, Benny?"
"I suppose ^ou ought," he said.
'Well. then. I got to like some of the
fellows pretty much, and Joe found
me out. Ile used to take me in his
arms and reason with me, but I sup
pose there's something in that law of
liered hered—"
'Heredity?" hazarded Benny.
"Yes. that's it. There must be some
thing in that law. for I felt the very
devil in me at times, and I'd go off
and leave Joe for a week at a time.
But lie was always patient, never
scold, never seetn cross—only hurt. He
often said that he loved me too much.
He was the patientest man I ever
knew."
"Didn't he ever say he'd made a mis
take. Kate, in marrying you?"
"Never once, Benny. He was very
considerate of my feelings, and I sor
ter feel sorry now that I'm a widow.
But he died peaceful, Benny. Carrie
«aid he went off smiling."
"Who in the mischief is Carrie?"
asked Benny.
"Oil. she's my friend. Joe got con
sumption and just sorter faded away.
His mother heard of it. and every day
would drive up in her carriage and
fipcnd two or three hours with him. It
was the first time she'd come in the
whole six years, and I feel glad that
she had to call on me first. It isn't
ladylike, is it, Benny, for the bride to
call on her husband's folks before they
call on her?"
Benny said he wasn't quite sure, as
the customs changed so frequently.

we were gonè two week*. He di«d the

I never wore It on excursions, for it's
so conspicuous. Don't you think wed

"They aré; Indeed," sdid Benny.
"When Carrie brought him the ring
he put it on his finger and then kissed
it. 'For better or for worse,' he said,
and his face lit up wonderful; and h
told Carrie I should be sure to kis,

"Poor, poor fellow," said Beririy.
"But Î gave him A splendid funeral.

the coffin with flowers. That was a

you know—and he said I certainly did
the square thing by Joe. What time
is It, Benny?"
"Just 10 o'clock," said Benny.
Kate got up from the bench and,
linking her arm In Benny's, they
walked out of the square.
"I'm going down Race street," she
said, "and I suppose you are going
down Eighteenth. When are you going
to use the story, Benny? Remember,
I get half what it brings."
"Why, Kate," said Benny Brooke,
slowly, "I don't think I'll use the
story."
"'Vhy not?" she asked quickly,
ell. the fact Is, his folks wer
\ci> decent, and he's dead now. He
seemed to be a gentle sort of fellow,
true as steel to you. and honorable—a
gentleman all the way through—and a
story about him now would be
rather small thing for a fellow to
write. He always was good to you,
Kate, and you ought to be good to him
—now that he's dead."
"Yes, I guess you're right, Benny;
but I though you said you needed
money."
"So I do, Kate, but I don't need It
thai badly."
"Just as you say," she responded,
and she heid out her hand. "Good
night, Benny, and try and drop around
and see me some time."
"I will," he said, as he took her
hand. "Good-night, Kate."
And Benny Brooke walked slowly
dowu the street, thoughtfully jingling

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION.
Reporta of a Norwegian Sailor
Arouse Brltlah Interest.
Three Meat British scientific socle
ties are agreed that It Is the duty of
the British government to fit out an
expedition for thorough antarctic ex
ploration. In November, 1803, the
Royal Geographical society appointed
a notable committee to Inquire into
the propriety of such an expedition
and report. They reported in favor of
having the government send two suit
able vessel» to explore the south polar
regions and keep them at it for three
years. The report was adopted and
transmitted to the royal society,
which, in turn, appointed a powerful
committee which in May. 1894, re
ported strongly In favor of the pro
posed scheme. At the beginning of
the present year the council of the
British association gave the plan its
vigorous indorsement, and It doubt-,
less took further action on it at its re
cent annual meeting in September.
The plan of Dr. John Murray of the
Challenger, who addressed the Royal
Geographical society on the subject
two years ago, was to send out two
suitable government steamships of
about 1,000 tons each, have them start
in September, land a company of
about ten men somewhere south of
Cape Horn aud another in Victoria
Land, and have these parties spend
two years or more ashore, exploring
the antarctic continent. The ships
would land the shore parties the first
summer, visit them the second aud
take them off the third, and would
spend their own winters and all their
available time in deep sea and other
observations along the outer margin
of the antarctic ice.
What may be found on the antarctic
continent no man can say. Animal
life in abundance was found last year
at Cape Adair by C. E. Borchgrevink,
a young Norwegian, who sailed there
as one of the crew of a whaler, and
whose account of his experiences ex
cited great interest nt a recent geo
graphical congress in London. Mr.
Bortiligrevlnk wants to go back, and
writes to the London Times pressing
for "further and immediate research
within the antarchtic circle." It is
held to be possible that, a new race
of men may exist somewhere within
hail of the soutih pole, and that such
creatures as the ichthyosaurus may
still survive in the antarctic seas.
Seals and sea birds are abundant
there; what else no one can say, but
many inquisitive persons want to
know.
Our countryman. Dr. Frederick Cook,
greatly desired to fit out an American
south pole expedition to start out this
fall and catch the next antarctic sum
mer, but his efforts in that direction
seem not yet to have come to any
thing. Perhaps he will do better an
other year; but, at any rate, there
seems a real prospect that a serious
attempt to find out whatever can be
known about the antarctic eontiucut
will be made before the present cen
tury ends.—Harper's Weekly.
The Sense of Hearings.
Of the five senses with which human
nature Is gifted that of hearing seems
to be more constantly increasing in
value than any of the others. This
may be accounted for by the fact that
in tlie progress of science of late ye:ir3
such important inventions as the tele
graph, telephone and phonograph all
depend upon the hearing for their very
existence; and when this sense of hear
ing is educated by long practice in
these and other directions, very im
portant and surprising results* have
been attained. By way of illustration
the telegraph operator can. by sound,
recognize an acquaintance at the key
who is sending a message from a dis
tance. simply by his or her style of
sending. 011 the same principle that
one can recognize another's handwrit
ing with which they are familiar by
sight, while to the ordinary observer
the clicking of the sounder would be
the same, no matter how many chang
es were made in the senders.—Electric

WATER AND GOLD
Simple Proce*» by AVliloh Million»
of Dollnrs Are Annually Gained.
It is not generally known, even in
California, that millions of dollars are
nniually taken from rude heaps of
hase looking quartz by the flowing of
water over huge pile« of broken rocks
that contain the precious metal.The
process of robbing the earth of its
gold has now been reduced to such a
fine point that the gentle flow of wa
ter over the ore gleans it of its golden
treasures, and this works well in caser
where the old chloride and other
methods are not so useful.
The water used by miners in bring
ing gold from piles of mineral-bearing
quartz is charged with a simple chem
ical. which has the potency to dissolve
gold tind bold it in solution. The
sparkling liquid, which flows over huv
dreds of tons of quartz, trickle*
through the mines and seeks its level,
laden with gold, is charged with
deadly poison, cyanide of potassium, a
drug which ferrets out the minutest
particles of the yellowish metal and
dissolves them and brings the precious
burden to the vats for conversion into
refined gold again.
The cyanide process is as noiseless
and unerring as the laws of gravita
tion. The method is based on the fact
that even n very weak solution
cyanide of potassium dissolves gold
and silver, forming, respectively, auro
potnssic cyanide and arg-ento-potassi
cyanide. The solution is separated
from the solid material and the gold
«lid silver are precipitated in metallic
form. During the last five years the
process has been introduced into al
most every gold field In California and
elsewhere, and more than $20,000.000
has been recovered by the gentle flinv
of the waters charged with the magical
chemical.
Precipitation is effected by the
of tine pieces of zinc, so arranged that
when the rich waters flow over theiu
the tine gold clusters In rich deposit*
over the zinc, for which it has an
affinity. The gold deposits itself in
the form of fine dust on the plates of
tine. —Boston Journal of Commerce.
