A Substitute for Tin.

It is stated that columbium has been found in large quantities in Marion, U. S., and in the Amazon stone of Colorado. In color it stands midway between nickel and tin. It can be applied to the surface of other metals like the two just named, and the Manufacturer and Builder prophecies that we shall soon hear of columbium- plating, It is slightly lighter than tin, and its chemical properties, while somewhat similar to the latter, are more nearly allied to those of bismuth and antimony. AL present there is little immediate prospect of its becoming an article of commerce. But we must remember that aluminium was not many years ago as little known and rarely seen as columbium, alias piObium.

the enlightened present.

the enlightened present.
 Nothing but education-scientific edu- cation-can benefit mankind. We must find out the laws of nature and conform to them.
 Free labor will give us wealth. Free thought will give us truth.
 On every hand are the enemies of indi- vlduality and mental freedom. Custom meets us at the cradle, and leaves us only at the tomb. Our first questions are an swered by ignorance, and our last by su- perstition. We are pushed and dragged by countless hands along the beaten track, and our entire training can be sum- med up in one word-suppression.
 Disobedience IS one of the conditions of progress.
 The trouble with most people is they bow to what is called authority; they have a certain reverence for the old because it IS old They think man is better for being dead, especially if he has been dead for long time.
 Tyranny likes courtiers, flatterers, fol- lowers, fawners; and superstition wants believers, disciples, zealots, hypocrites and subscribers.
 To prevent thought is to prevent all ad- vancement except in the direction of faith.
 Not one of the orthodox preachers of to-day dare preach what he thinks, if he knows that the majority of his congrega- ton think otherwise. He knows that every member of his church stands guard over his brain with creed like club in his hand. He knows that he is not eX- pected to search after truth; but to defend the creed.
 Every pulpit is pillory, in which stands hired culprit, defending the justice of his own imprisonment.
 The highest crime against creed is to change it. Reformation is treason. Every new religion has little less su- perstition than the old so that the religion of science is but a question of time.
 The enfranchisement of the soul is a slow and painful process. Superstition the mother of those hideous twins, Fear and Faith, from her throne of skulls. still rules the world, and will until the mind of woman ceases to be the property of priests. Ours is the first government made by the people, and for the people. It is the only nation with which the gods have had nothing to do.
 The Declaration of Independence an- nounces the sublime truth, that all power comes from the people. This was de nial, and the first denial of a nation, ol the infamous dogma that God confers the right upon one man to govern others. It was the first grand assertion of the digni- ty of the human race.

RiSnnuth.

No country is so rich in bismuth ores as Bolivia. The mines which yield the lar ges: amounts are thos9 of Tazna, Chorol- que. Oruro, and some others in the neigh borhood of Guaina-P -Potosi, Sorata, etc. The bismuth is usually accompanied by tin, frequently by gold and silver. The pre- sence of bismuth has been discovered in several localities of Peru and Chile, but in quantities paratively very limited.

Selections from lngersOlI.

If the account given in Genesis is true, the serpent was the first schoolmaster, the first advocate of learning, the first enemy of ignorance, the first to whisper in human ears the sacred word liberty, the creator of ambition, the author of modesty, of inquiry, of doubt, of progress and of civilization.
 In nearly all the theologies, mythologies and religions, the devils have been much more humane and merciful than the gods.
 Each nation has created a god, and the god has always resembled its creator. Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god.
 No god was ever in advance of the na- tion that created him.
 Beyond nature man can not go even III thought-above nature he cannot rise below nature he cannot fall.
 Matter is indestructible, and the inde- s:ructible cannot be created.
 Neither matter nor force can be increas- ed or diminished.
 Force cannot exist apart from matter. Thought is a form offorce. We walk with the same force with which we think. In the whole universe there is not one atom in the state of rest,
 Nature embraces with infinite arms all matter and all force.
 Nothing but falsehood ever attested itself by signs and wonders.
 To prevent famine one blow is better than million sermons.
 There is an "irrepressible conflict" be tween religion, and science, and they can not peaceably occupy the same mind and the same world.
 It is better to love men than to fear gods.
 It is grander and nobler to think and investigate for yourself than to repeat creed
 All physical and mental phenomena arc governed by law, absolute, eternal, ana memorable.
 The glory of science is that it is freeing the soul-breaking the mental manacle' getting the brain out of bondage-giv ing courage to thought-filling the world with mercy, justice and joy.
 Science is the only lever capable O raising mankind.
 Ignorance worships mystery; reason explains it; the one groyels, the othel soars
 Aman with false diamond shuns tht society of lapidaries, and it is upon thl' principle that superstition abhors science
 Common sense belongs exclusively t( no tongue. Logic is not confined to, no has it been buried with the dead langua ges.
 One hundred and fifty years ago tht foremost preachers of our times would have perished at the stake.
 Every church pretends to have found the exact truth.
 A creed is the ignorant past bullying
