This new "physiatype" is a printed impression from animal or vegetable life, and it is obtained by pressing the subject upon a sheet of paper and subsequently developing the hidden design in strong permanent colour by dusting a coloaned powder over it. The design imprinted is strong or light according to the amount of natural oils or moisture contained in the subject. development may be done at any time, even after three months, and the process is specially adapted for obtaining finger prints without blackening the fingers. The printing can done upon ordinary paper, although the best results are given by paper specially preparcl.

The new gold-extracting process of Body, the Belgian ebemist, depends upon the addition of sulphur instead of its elimination. Much gold is combined with pyrites, from which seperation hasbeen difficult, but the sulphuration by means of special salts at a cherry red hent for a relatively short time produces a disaggregation, and trans- forms the pyrites into a product that can be easily worked. In Italy, where the process is raecis- ing auch attention. are is being treated for $2.00 or $4.00 per ton. The process is of far ther interest as contrrsing the theory that placers are dite to volcanic action and tha: rich soarces of combined gold in a volcanic matrix are to be expected near placers of free gold.
