A Gold and silrer cren ia tho moat mi nute particles, explained a New York manufacturing jeweler to the Graphic, aro worth extracting from such easily worked material at the tefuie or the floor of a hop,and no man crcr thought of watting this fledsam and jettam of his lutiacss. Then he explained the interesting processes by which the tar ing is effected. "Of course,1 he said, ,4it is practi cally impossible tn saro all tho gold that gets scattered; that it, some es capes ia ways that might perhaps be topped, lut it would cost more than the gold is worth to stop them. Krery time you walk through a jewelry manu factory you aro likely to carry some gold away with you on your clothing or your shoes. 1 took off my shoes the other night, and noticing that they wcro worn I turned them over and looked at them. Stuck in tho bottom of ono of the heels was a little lump of gold, which I picked out with a knife A certain amount of gold, no doubt, is carried off in the clothing and shoes of j the workmen, and no attempt is midc to sare that. Dut in regard to the floors and benches and tables it is different. "Ytu notice that you are standing on a peculiar flooring, do you not? It is comparative a new practice to cover thfe fl'or with sheets of tar- roofing. It is put down just liko a carpet, for the reason that it is easier and cheaper to burn it than to burn tho floor. When I lift a shop in Fulton street that I had occupied for ix years I burned tho floor and got enough gold out of it to pay for a new floor, which I had to put down, and leave me $200 ia cash be side. The sweepings and refute of the shop yield a lycry considerable amount, and so do the washings. Tho dry dirt is swept up two or three times a day and put into this store." Here he opened the top of a 'chow 4cr stove" and thowed a pile, ready to be burned. The chowder stove is a contrirance with a small chamber for the fire underneath and a large com partment above with no aperture un der it. 'You sec," he explained, ,4we build a firo underneath and burn it until the refuso catches fire. That will smoulder a long time, for there is no draught through the chamber, merely a pipo-abore it to allow for the cscapo of the smoke.' Finally it is reduced to ashes, and tho gold and silver can be easily washed out of it. "With our wasto water tho process it different. Tho aprons and caps the .Torkrn'ea wear ara washed over tho same sink where they wash their faces and hands and any vessel or tool that needs cleansing. Tho water runt into a barrel and then through pipes below tho water line into a second and a third barrel before it ii allowed, to escape. The object of running tho pipes below the level of the water is to prevent tho minute flake of gold from floating off, for though th:y wi I float on top of tho water, they will siik to the .bottom when they aro drawn leIow tho surface. We throw a littio quicklime in from time to time, and that curdles all tho grciso andsoap so that it sinks to tho bottom and tho wster that runs off from the third barrel it ai clear and bright as runt from the faucet. The curd it taken out whea enough is ac cumulated, aad the rrrciout metals are washed out by usual method. "The ctuciblcs whiJh wo ue' for melting gold are broken up and thrown into aa octagonal rerolring chYmbcr, in which is alto put a heavy iron cylind rical bar. " The chamber i tightly closed, a belt ii attached to tho main haft eod the wholo thing set whirling. In time the crucibles arj ground into a powder as fle as du-t, and thit powder is sold to the refiner, who treat it with mercury. I uted to do thit work in the place, but I gave it up, for I don't like to harj mercu-y around. Thn luxe are rery unhealthy. "The gold thit we get by tbee rar iout proceics it of really the same floe nei of the arerage of tl at we uao in the work. The first alloy it dettroyel or partially destroyed, I sup o, but enough alloy is gathered to nearly keep the standard. A Word A be at Teeth. As regards thn teeth, it must be aaV mitted that ia relation ta the subject in hand they literally and truly cut both way a. Ia the compete set of 33 there are 20 forgriadia . eight for bit iag and four for teiriag. Grinding teelh re req'qired for animals wh:ch lira , 00 grains aad other hard vegetable sub stances; biting teath aie necessary for animals which nibble soft sulwtances like grasses aad some fruits; tearing teeth are essential for animals which ac tually tear tough and retiataat struc ture, like flesh, to pifc-a. Ia man the grinding teeth largely prepoaderate;aad how well - fitted these teeth are for grinding seeds, grains, acorns, aad the like, the teeth of our rery old fore fathers till a significant and tmi tale. Ia man thn biting teeth hare a coatpic uoui place aad a very decisive function; with them, cren to the present, the skilled biter can cut through the finest thread, a feat equivalent to dividing tho most delicate filament of fool fi jre that grows from tho earth. The teeth aro rcgctable weapon ; they are the best of weapons which thn out-and-out fege tariaa can use; they asmt him both in practice and ar gument. But then there remain those four tearing fang, those canine or dog's teeth, so firm, strong, and savage. The canino or tearing teeth stand out strikingly in favor of the view that man is formed for eating fbetii; but it cannot bo taid by tho stanchet flesh eater that the fl jsh-eating tendency is the strong est altogether. No; it it certain that tho balance turns fairly tho other way. It may, however, bo argued that the very fact of tho existence of oaly four tearing teeth $ives countenance to tho belief thit nature has supplied the human animal with fings for devouring animal flesh if he is obliged or dtsircus so to do. Thit is true, but only to a lin.itcd extent, becauio we cow know that even tho teeth, firm as they are, become, by constant habit of life, changed in form and character The canino tooth itself, even ia tho dog, has been exceptionally so mo iifiod from this causo as to lead to a chti aclcristic typo of structure indie itirj of the ii.flu;nce of manner of lifo on growth when ex tended through ma y generations. e rMiit.

(Cincinnati Tiraea Htar. UL' 31 OHO U.I, Criekft in Algeria. Accounts aro published of tho devas tation caused by crickets in Algeria. Tho insects resemble but aro not iden tical with cither locusts or grasshoppers. Last year swarms of grasshopper rav aged the colony. This year the crick ets have taken their pi; ce. They spiing iko grasshoppers, lut hive a more rapil and sustained flight. They form clouds which hut out tho liht of tho sun. hen they alight on tho grounu they destroy every trace of vegetation. They sometimes fall exhausted oa tho ground in uch numbers at to cover it with a layer of dcadTjodic, ' from which pestilential exhalations arise. ; The cor rcsponlcnt of a Paris newspaper, in a letter from Algeria, published tonight, says that the railway trains have been stopped by tho insects between Coa stintino and Batna. Tho method still employed to check the evil in the -African poaseisioat of Franco, it the old and expensive one of digging long trenchet at a right anglo to the advancing swarms, and placing on the most distant side a sort of fence formed by a web of c'oth. The ad vancing insects strikc againtt the c'oth, fall into tho j it, and arc there covere 1 with lime or mold. The Algerian au thorities hnvj spent 700,000 franca in destroying them, and now contemplate a further expenditure of 1,00), 000 franca to complete the work. London Times.
