In a lecture on mining, metals
and precious, stones, given at tho
Peaboy Institute, Baltimore, Dr.
DavidT.Day said that the value of the
metals mined in a year was about
$200,000,000. - The value of the pig
jron mined in 1888 was more than
all the metals put together. The
amount of gold mined in a year
would only half fill a Saratoga
trunk.
Prof. Haddon, the English natur
alist, who has just spout some
months on the islands south of New

be so good a time as now to study

are dying out fast, and are still
more rapidly discarding their native
arts, inferring to buy the merchan
dise that the whites bring among
them. "
