a Mine in California in which Th

\ Mine in California in Which There Is
Perpetual Frost.
The altitude of the Stevens mine on
Mount Mcclellan California; is $500
feet AT the depth of from 60 to 200 feet
The crevice matter, consisting of silica,
calcite and ore, together with the sur.
rounding wall rock, is solid frozen
mass. says an exchange. Mcclellan is
one Of the highest eastern spurs of tho
snowy range. 1t has the form of a
horseshoe, with bold escarpment of
feldsparic rock nearly 1000 feet high,
which, in some places, is nearly per-
pendicular.
In descending into the mine nothing
unusual occurs until a depth of eighty
or ninety feet is reached, when the
frozen territory begins and continues
for over 200 feet There are no indica.
tions of a thaw summer or winter.
The whole of the 200 feet of frozen
walls is surrounded by massive rocks
The miners, being unable to excavate
the frozen material with pick and drill
in the usual way, found that the only
way to mine in this peculiar lode was
to kindle a huge fire against the face"
of the tunnel and in the morning take
out the ore that had been thawed loose
during the night.
In fact, this was the only mode OF
mining used while going through the
frozen belt some ten or fifteen years
since. The tunnel is now many hun
dred feet deep, and still there is no
diminution of the frost. There is, as
far as can be seen. no opening or chan
mel through which the frost could pos
sibly have reached such depth from
the surface. Besides this there are
many other mines in the same vicinity
in like frozen state.
The theory is that the rock was depos-
tied in glacial times, when there was
cold enough to freeze the very earth's
heart. In that case the mine is an ice
house whose stores have remained un-
thawed for at least $4,000 years,
The phenomenon is not uncommon or
inexplicable when openings can be
found through whieh current OF air

MARRIAGE IN ENGLAND
Births Have Now Reached the Lowest
Rate Ever Rccorded.

Births Have Now Reached the Lowest
Rate Ever Recorded.
The unpopularity of marriage con-
tinues unabated, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, and last year was the first in
recent times, in which, while the price
of wheat fell, the marriage rate re-
mained stationary. 1t is now l4.2 per
1000. The decline in the popularity of
matrimony is greatest with those who
have already had some experience of
welded life. Between 1876 and 1888
the marriage rate - per cent for
bachelors and spinsters, 81 per cent. for
widowers and 81 per cent. for widows.
The drop in the remarriage of widows,
however. is probably due to the glut-
ting of the marriage market with sur
plus spinsters. The excess of women
over men in England and Wales is esti-
mated at 765. 600
Another interesting fact is that the
births have now reached tho lowest rate
recorded since civil registration began.
In 1876 the rate was 1868 per .0o9: it is
now 3o.o6. This is very satisfactory,
and it is also notable that the illegiti
portion. 4.3 per cent, being the lowest
yet registered. The worst feature in
the registrar-general's returns, how
ever, is the fact that the male birth has
fallen in proportion to the females; in
the last ten years l,o3s baby boys were
born for every LOCO girls, and last year
the male preponderance had dropped
by five, and is now standing at 1893 to
1000. With surplus female popula-
tion OF 100000 this is a move in the
wrong direction.
1t is worth noting that while the in
crease in marriages between English
people has not kept pace with the popu-
lation (having increased only 4 per
cent. in the last nine years., marriages
according to the Jewish rites have
grown no less than ca per cent. If this
rate is kept up we shall become Anglo.
Israelites indeed in a way not dreamed
of by those enthusiasts who have identi-
fed us with the lost ten tribes.
