condition was one OF the first in which
minerals, as well as most, il not all the
different forms of matter, with which
we are acquainted, once existed. 1t evi.
IDENTIFY at least marks one step in their
progress Of development, and as there is
evidently tendency In nature TO reor-
ganize these same elements into the
form which they once occupied, and in
fact, as evidenced In many observable
conditions, she recuperates her forces
from this store house, which is contin-
ually being supplied by the process of de.
struction or decomposition, which terms
but poorly express the correct idea, It
gives good reason for the conclusion
that the great volume of gases which are
formed from the combustion Of coal and
from the wide diversity Of metallurgical
and industrial operations so generally
prevalent on the face Of tho civilized
globe, must furnish an important amount
Of the matter which some where finds its
place In the economy Of nature, and
serves purpose in her activities. Bas.
ing our premises upon the acknowl-
edged activity OF the forces everywhere
present, aud upon the economical utility
which allows no particle of matter to re-
main idle or uselcssly inert, it is safe 10
state that all Of the results Of what we
may term destruction, are rapidly form
ing new combinations and entering into
new structures in most cases more likely
to be In harmony with the original posi-
tion wich they once occupied than other
wise.
The constructive history Of the slate
and sandstones, as we'll as every other
character OF rock, indicates TO q certain.
ty that the immense burdsn OF material
which the waters Of our thousands Of
rivers annually carry, from mountain
side and valley out into the ocean depths
are there undergoing the same process Of
solidilication under the laws OF crystal
line forces, and assuming the character
and form which will one day fit them to
perform an active part in the drama Of
existence where they are TO appear. IL
will not be affirmed that this new rocky
strata which is being constantly re-
formed in the oceans depths, according
TO well defined law, will be barren OF
mineral treasures or that it will be less
suited to the activity Of the future than
the same class and character of rocks
to-day exhibited.
Everywhere in the circle Of existence
around us. we behold death as mother
feeding life, and life folding itself in the
garments cast away by forms which
have lived and served their purpose be-
fore passing to new state in the endless
cycles of progression, through which oil
matter Is passing in one form or another.

Easy Prevention from Rust.

A very simple way Of preventing iron
rust from stovepipes, or any kind OF iron
exposed to the weather. is fine powder
of metallic zinc mixed with oil and q
drying substance. This is applied to
the iron with brush, and in many cases
a single coat is enough for the purpose,
but two coats may be relied upon to se-
cure protection against the corrosive
action of the atmosphere, as well as of
sea water. This application gives the
iron handsome steel-gray appearance,
But does not interfere with painting at
any time. A good mixture consists Of
eight parts, by weight, Of zinc, seventy
one Of oil, and two Of liccative.
