AN English woman in Paris is about
to publish book containing the details
of doctrine resembling the metemphy-
Ghosts of the ancients. According to
this fair author the released by death
wanders through space for any number
of years, until it is ready to be embodied
again. The duration of these wander
ings depends upon the conduct before
death. The more wicked soul il the
longer it has to travel. The author
herself is Informed by Communication"
from former attendant that more than
5000 years B. G. she was an Abyssinian
princess, and very ugly and disagree
able one too. Another of the believers in
this doctrine has represented himself to
be John Huss returned to earth. What
one is going to be on the several thous,
and years hence is an exhilerating con-
undrum to guess.

A bill has just passed one branch OF
the New York Legislature for the sup
preston of obscene literature and will
probably pass the other. To understand
how extensively literature of this sort is
circulated we have only to note the re-
suits OF one mans labor in collecting
works of the KIDD for the purpose of
proving the magnitude of the trade.
Mr.. Comestock, of New York city, has
in one year seized 2S1 900 obscene pic
lures, seven tons of books and pamphlets
fifteen hundred eneravings aud maya
zines, and five tons of stereotype plates.
There must be very corrupt appetite
in society to crave such masses of the
vile stuff.

BURGLARY AT Wilcox, PA.-Tht

BURGLARY AT Wilcox, PA.-The
house of j. l.. Murphy was entered
last night by burglars and about hun
dred and fifty dollars stolen from the
room, in which Mr.. Murphy and wife
were sleeping. The pocket book which
contained valuable papers was found
this morning back OF the school house.
The burglars entered the house by way
OF an outside cellar door and going up
through the house, took Mr.. Murphy's
clothes from the room in which he was
sleeping, carrying them into another
room, rifed the pockets and returned
via the back kitchen unlocking the door
from the inside.

OUR INDUSTRIES.
TAe Products and Factories OF Los
Angeles.

The Los Angeles Soda Works Oh
Also street, owned by Henry
Stoll, started abOnt five years ago.
During the summer time the fac
tory turns out from 80 to 100 dozen
of soda daily, and even in the winter
the amount per diem often reaches 40
dozen inclusive Of the supply of sar-
saparilla. In the factory are two soda
fountains, a cooler, q generator, and
an acid chamber, These are worked
by cold steam or carbonic acid gas,
and the steam guage often indicates a
pressure of 9Olbs to the square inch. The
bottling machine is an ingenious con-
trivanee, and less dangerous than
many other kinds in use. Mr.. Stoll
uses about 800 pounds of sugar weekly,
and has a running stock of loo
pounds on hand. He furnishes all the
fancy ice cream saloons with soda foun-
tains. and all the hotels, ETC.. with
plain and sWS> suipHd and SarSaparilla.
BORAX.
About POO miles north from Los
Angeles Il refinery for bOraX is
being erected in Slate Range. A gen.
tleman who visited the HERALD office
yesterday has promised this journal
very full information as to the cultiva-
ton of this Industry. The paper will
appear in future issue. Merely SUI
perficial observation has shown that
back of San Bernarlino sufficient borax
exists to supply the whole of the Uni
ted States for two hundred years to
come. In some places it is a foot thick,
whilst in others the depth is over three
feet. Crude b0tax which contains 20
per cent. after refinement, can be snip
ped to San Francisco at an expense of
$47 per ton. 1t will realize i'm the city
from Sl35 to $40 per ton. Borax
which unrefined contains 80 per cent.
will sell for $50 perton. 1t tisaquestiOn
as to the advisability of erecting re-
fineries there. BoraX requires very pure
water to refine it, and the water near
and around where it exists has been
found invariably to contain iodine, al
kali, boraX, manganese and sodium.
The bOraX blossoms contain all sorts
of ingredients, but principally what is
known as Glauber salts. They are of
Il very curious form, generally having
six points protruding from the center
like spokes from the box OF wheel.
Whether bOraX will ever be an inn
portant industry it is difficult to say.
The above facts are merely rough
sketch of very interesting article
promised the HERALD on this subject.
