. The drill of an oil well In Mitchell

of red salt, supposed to be carnalite,
which is a member of the potash
family. The red salt was found at
about 1,000 feet.

The economic value of a single toad

based on the toad’s destruction of

Aluminum is the most abundant
metallic element in existence. Al
though it is more abundant than iron,
it has not been used until the last 25
years, for it is found locked up so
tight with oxygen tha*t only the elec
tric furnace can easily separate the
two elements. It is an essential con
stituent of nearly all rocks except
limestone and sandstone.

Herding sheep by airplane was the
evperience of an Australian explorer.
During the trip over North Queens
land the airman was offered the task
of rounding up two large scattered
flocks of sheep. He swept his plane
around the outskirts of the flock and
collecting all the stragglers, drove
them all together toward the pad
■ dock. The job was done quickly and
without any great effort.

, “Mother Carey’s Post Box” is a
water-tight barrel hooked to a long
stout chain hanging from a lonely
cliff of a rocky promontory known as
Cape Virgin in the Strait of Magellan.
This barrel is a post office, but the
postal authorities of no government
in the world have authority in that
rocky waste. Every ship going
through the Strait of Magellan sends
a boat to this oak barrel. The letters
in the barrel are looked over to see
if there is any mail for the men on
board and other letters are placed in
the barrel seamen on board ships
headed for the Horn. Money and val
uables have been sent through this
barrel post office and there has never
been a violation of confidence placed
in Mother Carey’s Post Office.
There are two telephones in the
city. One connects the transfer office
of W. H. Pierce with his office at the
depot, and the other connects the
general office of the Rio Grande rail
road with the depot and the Canon
City coal yards. There are two
mouthpieces at each end of the wire,
one of which is held to the ear while
the message is spoken into the other.
Conversations may be carried on for
a distance of twenty-two miles with
these instruments.—ltem in Denver
papers in January 1878.
