NO. 21 THE FORMATION OF GOLD. A writer in Silliman’s Journal contends that gold occurs in solution, as a terchloride, in certain earths and rocks, and by coming their old habits and appetites. A spirit who American Art.—We mention it to observe . in contact with chemical agents, such as ‘ron : with just pride that it is taking rank with . pyrites, or sulphuret of iron, is precipitated . i” the spheres, and seeks gratification of . Mexico; Sandwich Islands, Australia, Peru, the noblest anywhere. The painting and . in crystals, in which form he has often seen his appetites by the economical process of . British Columbia, New Granada, Chile, Sothe peice of sculpture now attracting most admiration inthe artistic and popular world, are Church’s “Heart of the Andes”—exbibiting in London—and Palmer’s “White Captive,” on exhibition in New York. Church’s painting has been termed the greatest modern landscape, at least since Turner died; and England's first living painter has called its author a wonderful genius. Palmer is a home taught and nearly self taught Albany boy, yet critics pronounce his “White Captive” faultiess and unrivalled. One says of it—‘The subtleties of expression, in feature and form, in body and limb, as weil as in face, are wonderful; and the effect, even upon the insensitive visitor, is impressive. Though it be nude form of a girl of twenty, there is neither shrinking in modesty nor the eager stare of vulgar immorality, in the sight. It neither offends the one, nor feeds the other. The perfection of form appeals to every latent love of the beautiful, and the vigor and depth of expression touches the germ of every spectator’s ideality.” The ; same writer says that the head, “which is . the most splendid that ever sat on woman's . shoulders, was copied exactly, with the alteration of a single feature, from that of a young lady of Western Massachusetts, celebrated for her beauty.” That even the sordid may take an interest in this piece of al; most living marble, we will add that it cost its owner, Hamilton Fisk, about $5,000.— Church's painting has been bought by another New Yorker for $10,000—for an American picture a price without precedent. ~—--—---.6@e of this handsome religious serial, contains a sermon which was preached by the editor, Dr. Scott, on the progress and development of civil liberty and religions freedom.

ARCH Re = oe ene Dr. Daniel Dustin, for many years a resident of Nevada county, and once a useful member of the Assembly, is now editing the True Republican, published at Sycamore, De Kalb county, lil. We have received the first number issued under his control, and observe in its editorials the same traits of courtesy, and earnestness, which made him here so many friends who will be glad to learn of bis success. ga ee on The Scientific American disproves the story, which has lately been extensively published, that one Jas. G. Hendrickson, now dead, had invented a perpetual motion machine. The statement that such a machine ran ten months at the Patent office is not true. Technically there is no such thing possible as perpetual motion; relatively the idea is true, practical and has often been realized. > Vesuvius is still in a state of eruption — The lava stream is three miles long and has filled up a ravine 250 feet deep by 1,000 feet broad.

The manufacture of paper from straw has now reached four and a half million pounds per annum. Several journals are printed jupon such paper. Paciric Expostror.—The January number . . it. Without saying whether it primarily occurs as a metal or not, he thus accounts . for the solution. The decomposition of pyrites produces sulphuric acid, which, in the presence of the never wanting chloride of sodium (nothing more than common salt, reader), and a higher oxide of manganese, may liberate small quantities of chlorine, the most powerful gold solvent known. The solution thus formed, passing down the Veins, comes in contact with reducing agents, and the metal is again precipitated, frequently in crystals or crystalline forms, and often upon gold already present. It is thought certain that such changes are constantly going on, and in this way the stores of the precious metal may be ever increasing. The same writer says that some specimens of auriferous albite (a white felspathic mineral and one of the constituents of some kinds of granite) from Calaveras county, California, show beautifully that, wherever there is a crystal of pyrites small crystals of gold are attached to it; demonstrating that the sulphate precipitated the gold previous to its own reduction into pyrites. From this and similar facts he concludes, that gold is carried into the veins from adjoining rocks, and that the opinion which considers veins the source of the gold of alluvial and diluvial deposits and of the soil, is erroneous. This theory seems to us very plausibie.— The remarkarkable association of gold and iron sulphurets in the quartz veins of this State, as well as in the newly discovered silver veins of Western Utah, and the existence of these same sulphurets in solution . or crystals through much of our auriferous gravel beds, would suffice to suggest the idea of cause and effect and lead to such a theory in explanation as that presented above. Indeed, a similar theory has been more than once timidly advanced by Californians, and the unscientific miner has often noticed phenomena which led him to adopt the crude notion that gold increases, or “grows.” The hypothesis that the gold of the alluvial and diluvial deposits was distributed through them from decomposed vein-rocks, has al ways seemed to us insufficient to account for found scattered throughout the entire mountainous California, sometimes without the least apparent connection with region of the immense amount of that metal which is external causes. Generally the gold found in quartz exists either in the form of fine . threads, in particles so minute as to be in. visible, or in combination with sulphurets } whereas the diluvial deposits reveal the metal in spangles or scales of such size that to believe they all proceeded from veins we must adopt the rather violent theory that gold occurred in the largest quantities and masses atthe tops of veins, which were long since worn away. But we had no intention of discussing a question which has long employed the ablest scientific minds without their being able to arrive at a definite conclusion. It is probable some of the intelligent quartz miners of Nevada county could present facts calculated to throw some light on the subject, and to correct or substantiate the views above expressed. . _— ron MepIcaL INFIRMARY AND CoLLEGE For WoMEN.—Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, a highly scientific woman, who bas been lecturing in Great Britain and America on ‘Medicine as a profession tor women,” is endeavoring now to establish in New York city a wuman’s hospital and college, which shall be the first . institution in the world where women can obtain a thorough medical training and experience in the care of the sick. The nu. cleus of this beneficent scheme is already } under way, at No. 4, Bleeker street, where 4,000 sick women and children have been prescribed for and nursed in the past year, by Miss Blackwell, her sister and another female doctor, and where also a regular course of instruction for nurses is organized. Among the trustees of this infirmary are Henry J. Raymond, Horace Greeley, Chas. A. Dana, and Cyrus Field. Miss Blackwell is said to be the intimate friend and chosen counsellor of Florence Nightingule, though her superior in scientific attainments, and has made it “her life purpose to prosecute and consummate the great sanitary reform which the confirmed illness of Miss Nightingale has compelled her to relinquish.” All honor and success attend her. osha nnatitarintasntieteall ietasreipnatstatslaastiiainiagpiih We notice going the rounds two articles with reference to the Jews—one declaring that they are not politicians, and the other setting forth their patriotism and bravery during the American revolution; both very creditable facts. 0 Humboldt was in favor of the Christian Sabbath as a sanitary and humane arrangement.

British Columbia, New Granada, Chile, Sothe peice of sculpture now attracting most admiration inthe artistic and popular world, are Church’s “Heart of the Andes”—exbibiting in London—and Palmer’s “White Captive,” on exhibition in New York. Church’s painting has been termed the greatest modern landscape, at least since Turner died; and England's first living painter has called its author a wonderful genius. Palmer is a home taught and nearly self taught Albany boy, yet critics pronounce his “White Captive” faultiess and unrivalled. One says of it—‘The subtleties of expression, in feature and form, in body and limb, as weil as in face, are wonderful; and the effect, even upon the insensitive visitor, is impressive. Though it be nude form of a girl of twenty, there is neither shrinking in modesty nor the eager stare of vulgar immorality, in the sight. It neither offends the one, nor feeds the other. The perfection of form appeals to every latent love of the beautiful, and the vigor and depth of expression touches the germ of every spectator’s ideality.” The ; same writer says that the head, “which is . the most splendid that ever sat on woman's . shoulders, was copied exactly, with the alteration of a single feature, from that of a young lady of Western Massachusetts, celebrated for her beauty.” That even the sordid may take an interest in this piece of al; most living marble, we will add that it cost its owner, Hamilton Fisk, about $5,000.— Church's painting has been bought by another New Yorker for $10,000—for an American picture a price without precedent. ~—--—---.6@e of this handsome religious serial, contains a sermon which was preached by the editor, Dr. Scott, on the progress and development of civil liberty and religions freedom.

The manufacture of paper from straw has now reached four and a half million pounds per annum. Several journals are printed jupon such paper. Paciric Expostror.—The January number . . it. Without saying whether it primarily occurs as a metal or not, he thus accounts . for the solution. The decomposition of pyrites produces sulphuric acid, which, in the presence of the never wanting chloride of sodium (nothing more than common salt, reader), and a higher oxide of manganese, may liberate small quantities of chlorine, the most powerful gold solvent known. The solution thus formed, passing down the Veins, comes in contact with reducing agents, and the metal is again precipitated, frequently in crystals or crystalline forms, and often upon gold already present. It is thought certain that such changes are constantly going on, and in this way the stores of the precious metal may be ever increasing. The same writer says that some specimens of auriferous albite (a white felspathic mineral and one of the constituents of some kinds of granite) from Calaveras county, California, show beautifully that, wherever there is a crystal of pyrites small crystals of gold are attached to it; demonstrating that the sulphate precipitated the gold previous to its own reduction into pyrites. From this and similar facts he concludes, that gold is carried into the veins from adjoining rocks, and that the opinion which considers veins the source of the gold of alluvial and diluvial deposits and of the soil, is erroneous. This theory seems to us very plausibie.— The remarkarkable association of gold and iron sulphurets in the quartz veins of this State, as well as in the newly discovered silver veins of Western Utah, and the existence of these same sulphurets in solution . or crystals through much of our auriferous gravel beds, would suffice to suggest the idea of cause and effect and lead to such a theory in explanation as that presented above. Indeed, a similar theory has been more than once timidly advanced by Californians, and the unscientific miner has often noticed phenomena which led him to adopt the crude notion that gold increases, or “grows.” The hypothesis that the gold of the alluvial and diluvial deposits was distributed through them from decomposed vein-rocks, has al ways seemed to us insufficient to account for found scattered throughout the entire mountainous California, sometimes without the least apparent connection with region of the immense amount of that metal which is external causes. Generally the gold found in quartz exists either in the form of fine . threads, in particles so minute as to be in. visible, or in combination with sulphurets } whereas the diluvial deposits reveal the metal in spangles or scales of such size that to believe they all proceeded from veins we must adopt the rather violent theory that gold occurred in the largest quantities and masses atthe tops of veins, which were long since worn away. But we had no intention of discussing a question which has long employed the ablest scientific minds without their being able to arrive at a definite conclusion. It is probable some of the intelligent quartz miners of Nevada county could present facts calculated to throw some light on the subject, and to correct or substantiate the views above expressed. . _— ron MepIcaL INFIRMARY AND CoLLEGE For WoMEN.—Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, a highly scientific woman, who bas been lecturing in Great Britain and America on ‘Medicine as a profession tor women,” is endeavoring now to establish in New York city a wuman’s hospital and college, which shall be the first . institution in the world where women can obtain a thorough medical training and experience in the care of the sick. The nu. cleus of this beneficent scheme is already } under way, at No. 4, Bleeker street, where 4,000 sick women and children have been prescribed for and nursed in the past year, by Miss Blackwell, her sister and another female doctor, and where also a regular course of instruction for nurses is organized. Among the trustees of this infirmary are Henry J. Raymond, Horace Greeley, Chas. A. Dana, and Cyrus Field. Miss Blackwell is said to be the intimate friend and chosen counsellor of Florence Nightingule, though her superior in scientific attainments, and has made it “her life purpose to prosecute and consummate the great sanitary reform which the confirmed illness of Miss Nightingale has compelled her to relinquish.” All honor and success attend her. osha nnatitarintasntieteall ietasreipnatstatslaastiiainiagpiih We notice going the rounds two articles with reference to the Jews—one declaring that they are not politicians, and the other setting forth their patriotism and bravery during the American revolution; both very creditable facts. 0 Humboldt was in favor of the Christian Sabbath as a sanitary and humane arrangement.
