AN BRoLITE THEORY.

A theory Of startling interest as to the ORR
gin Of erolites is enunciated by Camille Flam.
marion of Paris. No materials have been
found in erolites (uranolithsl analogous to
the material shell of our world. There are
no calcerous formations, no sands, no shells,
no fossils, and siliceous rock is never found
in them; and it is siliceous that forms, to a
large extent, the crust Of our world-the ribs,
the bones Of the earth-animal.
The speaker inferred that these fragments
have not been cast upon US from any world
dashed to atoms by some cstsclysm like the
supposed planet that once had its orbit be
tween Mars and Jupiter-some dried up world
without sap; and he pronounced the meteoric
formation similar to that of the earth's sub
stance before its shell was formed, the pro-
tozoc world before the ocean existed.
But his mysterious theory is that these mys-
FERROUS visitors were once part of our earth
at that epoch when their crust was first being
upheaved by volcanic action. 1t may be a
desperate theory that American volcanoes
now enfeebled or extinct, might have once
possessed force to fling masses beyond the in
huence of the earth's attraction, where they
will have played comet parts, describing enor-
nous parabolas and when returning to cross
the terrestrial orbit are thrown upon their ma
live world We doubt if NJ. Flammarion's
theory will have much weight in the scientific
world.

THELUTHER JUBILEE.

Great preparations are being made to cele-
Luther's death in many places. At one OF
the Luther town in Germany, Erfurt, most
dramatic and extraordinary procession is
being got up, which is to represent the anthori-
ties oil the Eriurt University, the town coun-
Gil and citizens OF Erfurt, as meeting Luther
on his way to Worms in April, 1891. The
following is full description Of the event and
conveys the design of the artists:
Luther started on the 9th of April, 1921, from
Weimar on his way to Erfurt. An imperial
herald rode in front, aud in the same carriage
with Luther were some of his confidential
friends. On coming to the boundaries of the
town Luther was enthusiastically received by
the rector and professors of the university e,
and by an immense crowd Of the students ana
Inhabit 'nts of Erfurt. The procession then
advanced, slowly, accompanied by 40 horse
men, through dense crowd, toward the town.
All the streets, towers, roofs and walls were
covered with people. The procession proceed
ed TO the convent of the AuRustines, where
Luther took up his residence with LANCE, II
friend of this, in the well-known rooms that
had witnessed his struggles after truth and
peace of mind. This splendid reception OF
Luther in Erfurt is to be represented by an i'm
posing procession. Forty-five students, ma
tiVes Of Erfurt; studying ut various German
universities have issued an enthusiastic APP
peal to the protestant students of the whole of
Germany to take part in this procession. A
committee hss been formed ut Erfurt, under
the presidency of Herr Ober- Regerunsgrpath
Won Tettau, to make the necessary propara-
tions and 1t is hoped that the artists of Wei
mar, Dresden and Berlin will assist in the pre-
iminary arrangements. A meeting was held
a few days ago, to which the committee of the
various guilds and othe societies were invited.
This meeting was numerously attended, and
Professor W eissenborn gave detailed histor-
cal account of the event. the nature of the
costumes being also explained from AN artistic
point of view. 1t was unanimously decided to
spare no effort To make the procession mag
ni1cient, artistic and popular success.

IT is obvious to the most careless observer
that the health of the Queen of England is
fast failing and that the time is at hand for
political changes in that empire. The Queen
distress embarasses her physicians, who since
the accident to Her Majesty's knee seem to
have kept the real trouble out of sight. This
real trouble is the injury to her nervous sys-
TEN which followed. 1t may be remembered
that other griefs were borne, that in the death
of her faithful friend and attendant, Tohn
Brown, Her Majesty encountered erevous
afilc ion which left her more exposed by her
nervous frenzies. The Queen has arrived at
that period when the links that connect body
and mind loosen, and prospective dissolution
impends. The world will feel the change. A
sovereign whose influence has been SO be-
nign, and continued SO long, will be missed
among the powers. Ii is perhaps idle to pre-
dict what changes are to ensue, what the
chances are for Republic, if any, what hold
the Crown Prince has upon the popular heart.
There is at least no fear that England will
not ride the tempest In safety.

summer gowns, and small straw bonnet

greatly becomes young faces, are much the
rage. Silks and even velvets are worn, and
pleats with blocks of velvet on silk. There is
room for riot of tastes in style and resource.

The product Of copper in the United
States during the year 1882 is estimated
at l00,000,0o0 pounds, of which the Paci.
fic coast, with only partial activity, and
under adverse circumstances, produced
nearly one half. Within two years the
Pacific coast can produce that amount
annually if it should he required.
In the new territories the cheaper
mineral ore is neglected, for the more
precious, but the rapid increase in the
copper product of Montana, Arizona,
New Mexico, and Colorado, during the
past year, indicates something Of the
vast resources of these territories which
can be utilized when required. 1t is
stated that there are at the present time
twenty-five copper furnaces in Tennes-
see in active operation.
In 1873 the entire product of copper
in this country was placed at 46.500, 900
pounds, and in 1882 it was more than
double, or l00,00O,OO0 pounds. Yet as
rapid as has been the increase of pro-
duction, the consumptive demand has
kept pace with it. and it is evident that
this demand will continue, and new
fields Of usefulness be opened up as in
creased product renders this material
available. The electric light system.
The electric motors, the more general
use in manufactures, and, perhaps, some
new and as yet unknown necessity will
draw upon the immense resources Of
this valuable mineral, which certainly
was SO abundantly provided that It
might satisfy the coming demand.

very popular as recreation and amuse

A few years back, whenever the advcn-
brother, or the dissipated lover intro
duced the game into family circle, he
never dared to go beyond a suspendcr-
button ante or a limit Of ten coffee e-beans.
Now, so we hear, and SO we believe, the
family draws up around a real poker
table, with red slit in it, and with real
chips, and the members of the happy
group play for real money. The dangh-
ters, wives and mothers, it is said, are
not less infatuated with the enchanting
game than ere the sons, husbands and
fathers. The hours of evening, which u
few years ago were devoted to the news

an old soldier from the soldiers home
came along and asked what was the

him to try pas liver remedy and he took

liver bigger nor cows, and guess it is

again, and my chum said his liver was
getting torpid some more, and we both
took another dose and started home.
