There was mined and shipped by lake

district in 1881 an aggregate of 2,32l,-
3l5 tons of ore, whose market value at
the point of delivery was nearly $751;
100000. If we added the value of the
quartz exported and the pig iron pro-
duced it will bring the figures fully up
to $40, 900, 900; which We will let stand
as representing the money product of
the mining industries of the district for
that year. The Lake Superior copper
mines produced and shipped during the
same year fraction over 34,174 tons
of crude copper, worth in the market
not less than 81 l 100000. Adding this
to the $20,090,000 representing the
value of the iron product, and we have
grand total of $31,000,000 for
the Lake Superior district; or within
50, 100000 of the entire gold production
of the country, and but $12, 000,O 600 be-

sensations are transmitted 10 the
brain at rapidity of about $50 feet
per second, or at one-fifth the rate of
sound; and this is nearly the same in
all individuals.
"The brain requires one-tenth of a
second to transmit its orders to the
nerves which preside over voluntary
action; but this amount varies much
in different individuals. and in the same
individual at different times, according
to the disposition or condition at the
time, and is more regular the more sus-
tanned the attention.
1.-THE time required to transmit an
order to the muscles by the motor
nerves is nearly the same as that re-
quired by the nerves of sensation TO
pass a sensation; moreover,
1t passes nearly one hun
dredth of a second before the muscles
are put in motion.
"The whole operation requires one
and one fourth to two-tenths of Sec
ond. Consequently, when we speak of
an active, ardent mind, or of one that
is slow, cold, or apathetic. it is not a
mere figure of rhetoric, but AN abso-
lutte and certain fact that such a dig
