Professor William Denton, of San
Francisco, in a recent lecture, made
some speculations on the earths age,
and drew fresh illustrations. He ex-
plains that the great trees of Calilor-
MIA, showing 1850 annual rings OF
growth, we're saplings when Aebu-
chednezzar was born ,andthat the fallen
monarch Of the California forest was
at least 1000 years old. The lee
turer claimed that in the tertiary
strata Of California had been found
the earliest human remains ever dis
covered. and these human beings ex-
listed when half New Jersey, one-
third of Virginia, all of Florida, part
of Texas aud Great Britain were un-
der water; when the Mediterranean
sea was double its present size, and
the Gulf Of Mexico extended to Ohio;
when q large part of California was

Scientific Americana
Nj. John j. Craig, of Knoxville,
Tenn, says that the United States
government is now working success
fullya quarry of white stone in the i'm
mediate vicinity of that city which is
pronunced by competent judges to be
superior to anything of the kind found
elsewhere in the United States for
building and all outdoor purposes. II
is a highly c~rystalized limestone mar
ble-and as it comes from the hammer
or chisel is almost perfectly white
when polished it shows a faint pinkish
blush, most delicate and beautiful
long exposure to the atmosphere seems
to whiten and harden it, a sort ofglass
like enamel forming over its surface
and renderingit almost impervious to
dampness and stains Of any kind. A
column Of this marble, which has
been standing in Knoxville more than
thirty years, aud which has never
been touched with brush or soap, is as
white and clean to-day as it was the
day it was first exposed to the storms
and sunshine of our tickle climate.
The texture and working quality Of
the marble is unsurpassed. 1t is
neither too hard nor too soft, but ex-
actly soft enough to allow the sculptor
to work it without force and trace on
it the finest lines of finished form, and
yet hard enough to retain these lines
ip all their original delicacy, unim-
paired by wind or rain for generations
to come. The quantity of the marble
is unlimited. Knoxville is surround
ed by whole mountains of it. Facili-
ties for transportation are now good
and daily growing better. Car loads
are being daily shipped to all sections
of the country, and the absence Of
capital alone prevents the ~quarrying
of it from soon developing into one OIL
the most important industries in hat
singularly favored but as yet almost
unknown section.

which are ut present being operated
with much profit. In antiquity there
was extravaganza visible In all ne
architectural efforts, but to witness
the repetition of those times in this
era and in the carbonate metropolis is
something indeed startling. 1t is a
fact, however, that the facings of the
institution mentioned are made of the
gold rock, and it can be proven. Dur
ing the work Of erection and when the
masons had the stone in hand and
were dressing it this was discovered.
Upon n occasion they were saving a
huge block of the material into which
a streak of gold about the size of a
knife blade was discovered by the
workmen. 1t created quite a sensa-
ton at the time, but nothing particu-
lar was said Of it on the outside, and
the work was continued. The streets
are, paved with silver or Stag contain
ing the mineral, and it is probable
that a handful of dirt from most any
place would assay from one to ten
ounces. This report ives regarded
somewhat fabulous, but when the fact
goes out that the schoolhouse is built
of gold it will indeed provoke a skepti-
cal smile.

MARX Twain's' narrow escape from
becoming a pocket miner has never
been told. 1t is worth recording, as
it gave him the story Of the jumping

of the literary lode and set him to
searching therein for pockets" of
fun. In 1856 Marx, weary of Bohe-
milan life in San francisco, went up
into the mining regions of Tuolumme
county to rusticate with some old
friends, Steve, Jim and Billy ellis.
Jim ellis was aud is one Of the most
expert pocket miners Of California.
Although educated with a view Of
eventually fighting the battle Of life
as a physician, and though still find

pocket miner. The business has

was found through the processes Of
accidents of nature, undisturbed in
any way by the interference of man,
he will as unerringly trace it to its
golden source as the bee hunter will
follow the bee to its hoard Of sweets.
Mark Twain found the Bohemian
style Of mining praeticed by the ellis
brothers TO be very attractive. he
and Jim ellis took the hills in search
Of golden pockets, and spent some days
in hunting for the undisturbed trail Of
an u%ndisturbed deposit. Finally they
struck a golden Decline. They were
two or three days in following it up, as
it was necessary to carry each sample
Of dirt a considerable distance to q

order TO pan it out. Each step made

came to the pocket. It was a cold,
