The Question of Equipment. The great question of equipment then came up. The medical college was poor. It had recently renovated and re-equpped several tmportent departm and added some necessary adjuncts te keep abreast of the rapidly advencirg science. Once again the board of trustees of the unlversity came to .ts assistance, and promised to put the building In shape.

It is their purpose, one and all, to make the university hospital a model of its kind in the world. The best scientific trestment will be afforded in all ses, and thelr ambition is to make it a leader. The dedicatory exercises which took place last Tuesday were simple. They were men- tioned at the time in The Star, although at that time there were some of the wards not complete and the hospital was really not ready for the reception of patients. | of nervous diseases); G.

It 1s generally supposed that the muggets Which are found in the river gravels of Klondike and other auriferous regions have been brought down by the rivers direct from the reefs in which the gold originally lay. Many practical miners and scientific men, however, have long been of opinion that this cannot be the case, for no masses of gold of so large a size were ever found in the reefs themselves. They believe, on the other hand, that the nuggets have grown where they are now found, just as a crys- tal of salt will grow in a strong brine; but with so insoluble a substance as gold it was difficult to understand how such growth could take plac Experiments carried out in Australia have shown that decaying vegetable matter will cause the deposition of gold from solutions of gold salts, but these salts are not known to oc- cur in reef The mystery is now solved. A Slavonic chemist named Zzigmody has just shown that gold itself can exist in a soluble form. By acting on a slightly alkaline solution of a gold salt with formaldehyde and sub- mitting the product to dialysis he has su ceeded in obtaining gold in a colloidal con- dition, in which state it is soluble in water and may be precipitated by the addition of common salt. it is probable that some of the gold in quartz reefs exists in this condition. it is washed out by the rain, carried away in solution by the rivers, and deposited in the river gravels wherever there is any- thing containing salt to cause its pre- cipitation. 1a the course of ages a large nugget may in this way be formed. 200 A Philadelphia Fish Story. From the Philadelphia Record, While fishing in the Schuylkill river Harry Davis, a Bridgeport lad, caught on Thursday a huge but singularly deformed eel. It was long énough to be knotted about the fisherman's waist and as thick in places as a man’s wrist, but in the mid- dle, where it should have been thickest, the eel was no bigger than a baby’s finger. On examination Davis found at the place of deformity something hard and metallic. He sc 1 off the slime and brought to light road gold band—a wedding ring— with the inscription, “Paul to May, 1890. Mizpah.” Evidently the eel in its very in- fancy had either been caught, encircled with the ring and then returned to its ele- ment, or else the ring had been lost in the river and the eel had contrived somehow to get it on. ———_+e+_____ If you want work read the want columns of The Star. THE NATIONAL GUARD ee Bat Little Activity at Headquarters the Past Week. RUMORED RESIGNATION OF MAJOR ROSS Requisition fot Outfits of Ordnance and Ordrence Supplies. NEW OFFIBERS NAMED a: has = - The week preceding that set for the muster-out of the’ 1st Regiment, District ot Columbia Volunteer Infantry, has been unprecedentedly qfiiet in local National Gvard circles. The'pMcers of the regiment, mest of whom hgld -commiesions in the guard, have-their Bands full in the prepa- ration of the must@r-out rolls and clothing ard other property accounts, so that no time has been available to look after Na- tional Guard affairs. At headquarters, also, an unusual calm has prevailed, but tue foundation 1s laid ifor a sort of spurt as scon as the volunteer regiment is out of the way and a thing of the past. Major Ross’ Resignatio: A well-defined mimor today is that Maj. Burton R. Ross commanding the 1st Bat- talion, has tendered his resignation. This action, if the rumor is corect, is somewhat in the nature of a surprise, for Major Ross has been connected with the local military for such a long period that he was gencral- ly regarded as a fixture. He was among tha first to become affiliated with the Guard at the time of its organization in 1887, and prior to that time was one of the strongest advocates in favor of the formation of the National Guard at the national capital. He has been the major of the ist Battalion since the resignation of Major Dalton in the _ Major Ross entered the ranka Washington Light Infantry Corps more than twenty years ago and passed through all the grades to that of major. During the interstate drill held in this city in May, 1887, he commanded the team re resenting the Washington Light Infantry Corps. He is the instructor of the High School Cadet Corps and is regarded as an authority on drill matters, Among the resignations tendered ducing the week were those of Maj. H. B. Looke 6th Battalion; Capt. Charles L, Beatty, Company A, ist Battalion, and Ensign Charles E. Rugers, Naval Battalion. New Adjutant General. As stated yesterday in The Star, Capt. William H. Allaire, 28d Untted States In- fantry, has been reassigned as adjutant Seneral of the District of Columbia militia, relleving Capt. John A. Dapray, 23d United States Infantry. The commission of Capt. Allaire as lieutenant colonel and adjutant general of the militia has been made out. He was assigned to the duty he is now to begin in eurnest last June, but within a few days thereafter found it neces- sary to leave the ity because of illness. When the volunteer regiment returned to Washington Capt, Bapray was assigned to duty as acting adjuéant general at the re- quest of Gen. Haaries. He has performed the duties of the.office most acceptably #nd energetically, and it;is a matter for con- gratulation that he will not sever his con- nection with the, brigade, but is to remain as special inspector apd instructor of drills, ceremonies and disgipline. Uniforms for Naval Battalion. General Harries deputized Capt. Dapray last Week to look sfecially into the matter of uniforming the, Naval Battalion of the National Guard.’ As may be known, the Navy Department‘tever supplies uniforms except on cash purchases, even to the men of the regular , whose pay is com- puted at an b to enable them to purchase unifor@ Gephing. But aside from this, under mie <efsct aces, it seems can the Navy Degiktgent furnish uniforms gratuitously ‘ta the val militia. After conference with*’Navy-Department offi. however, the ai ~adjutant general applied to the Secretary of War has for a War Daparttent requisition on the Navy Detiartment for the naval uniforms re- quired, and the amount of value thereof to be credited torthe Navy Department appropriations an@ charged zgainst . the District of Columbia militia. Part of National Guard, This arrangement is necessary from the factthat, although a naval reserve, our Naval Battalion was, by the law organ- izing it, made a part of the District Na- tional Guard, and as such should be uni- formed out of the appropriation for the Guard. The fact that the allotments of clothing for the Guard has already long since been made, matters not materially. ‘There is a law which, aside from the lim- ited appropriaions and usual allotments, authorizes the Secretary of War to issue to the National Guard such additional ar- ticles as may from time to time be actual- ly needed. This thoughtful enactment of Congress will prove of timely advantage to the Guard in the present emergency. Requisition Has Been Approved. The requisition for 900 complete outfits of ordnance and ordnance supplies recently made by General Harries, through Acting Adjutant General Dapray, has been ap- proved by the Secretary of War and the property will be delivered in the near future. The matter of a new. issue of quartermaster property to the Guard is now pending before the Quartermaster Generai, United States Army. Chief Engineer and Surgeon. Commander Hains of the naval batta- lion has nominated Thomas W. Power to be chief engineer, with rank of Heutenant, and Randolph B. Brummett to be surgeon, with rank of lieutenant, on his staff. Under a recent ruling of Gen. Harries all officers must past a satisfactory exam- ination. Mr, Power will be called upon to appear before a board of officers of the United States navy, who will volunteer to act as examiners. Dr. Brummett will be interrogated by the board of examining surgeons of the National Guard. Mr. Power was at one time an engineer in the Corean navy, and is a man of wide experience When the Fern, now the practice ship and headquarters of the naval battalion, was in the light house service Mr. Power was her engineer. He ts there- fore thoroughly familiar with her engines and workings, and is considered by Com- mander Hains it desirable for the position of chief ¢ngineer of the naval battalion. da-e:-8 Dr. Brummett jg:ae young and popular physician and gurgean of this city, well known and well liked by the members of the organization... Ne doubt exists that both Mr. Power iad yr. Brummett will be commissioned. vt. 1 To Commafi Signal Company.

A Post-Mortem Wedding. From the North China Herald. A Shansi missionary who went to con- duct a funeral the other day narrowly es- caped being present at a marriage. The dead man was.a bachelor of fifty, and fear- ing that his spirit would wander compan- ionless in the world of shades relatives had scoured the countryside for a dead maiden to marry to him and bury with him. A de- sirable bride had been found some seven miles away, and was, encoffined and pre- pared for the double ceremony of marriag2 and burial. As soon as the Christian ser- vice was concluded and the missionary and his friends had left the other ceremonies began.
