It is estimated that the world's annual consumption of gold in the arts, chiefly in the manufacture of jewelry, Is somewhere between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000. Probably about $1,500,000 worth of gold coin of the United States is melted yearly for such employment. This government makes the gold bftrs of five ounces and upward for the use of jewelers and other manufacturers. Similar bars are turned out by private refineries. Of such bars $10,000,000 woth are bought, and used in this country every twelvemonth. The largest amount of gold is held by the pope at Rome.! It is' in coin and ornaments.

Burdwan died, and the stock of gold and silver left by him was so large that no member of the family could make an accurate estimate of it.

The largest of these three feet long and was rooms was forty-eigof ornaments with filled gold and silver, plates and cups, washing bowls, Jugs, etc; all of precious metals. The other two rooms were full of bags and boxes of gold mohurs and silver rupees. The doors of this and other treasure houses had been bricked up for nobody knows how long.

In its journey downward it takes out of the atmosphere all of the disease germs and impurities that float therein and for that reason is highly charged with injurious particles. A microscopic examination of water from the first snow reveals millions of germs of various sorts, many of them extremely dangerous to human life. Taken into the system, they increase with startling rapidity and cause diseases that physicians are ordinarily unable to account for. The not uncom mon practice of gathering snow from window-sill- s to eat Is one attended with very grave dangers. The first rain-fa- ll after a long period of dry weather is to the same conditions, and ti. subject rain-watshould either be filtered ov boiled or allowed to go to waste and not turned into the cistern. Many people shut off the cistern supply pipe vntil the roofs are' washed, imagining that in this lies the danger, but the water that washes the impurities from the atmosphere is quite as much to be guarded agaJnst.
