Workers, it is stated, are uneasy about the
strength Of the iron work and other fixtures Of
the Crystal Palace, and they are calling upon

ace were. Guess they are alarmed unnecessa-
rly, though it is well enough to take satisfactory
precautions. The fact il, there is so little
thickness and bulk requisite in iron for building,
as compared with other material, that few have
a conception of the real strength of the dppar-

wrought out by science and mechanism for that

There are several religious sects among the
Chinese, but the principal elements OF belief are
similar. They believe in three great cxisten-
cies-two Of them original, and without begin
ming or end, and the third the product of the
other two OF the two first exstencies, one is
spiritual, the other material the three together
are heaven, earth and man. Heaven is spirit
ual earth material, but everlasting and man
the product Of both, and partaking of the nature
of both. The figures and craven images to
which the Chinese ray reverence (uncouth as
they are) do not represent gods, but good men
who have cminently benefited their race during
their stay On earth, They suppose that these
men are in heaven. enjoying a spiritual and
carnal immortality, but that the spiritual part
possesses the power Of being present here on
earth, and of being cogni2ant Of all that passes
amongst the living. Home journal
