Two Projects Knocked Out.

The first idea of some OF the smart folks
who are full of suggestions in connection
with the worlds fair and who are anxious
to have something more wonderful than the
Eiffel tower of the Paris exposition, was to
sink shaft 900 or more feet deep on the
fair grounds and furnish it with an elevator,
SO that people might take a voyage toward
the center of che earth. Their latest idea is
to duplicate the Eiffel tower, but to make
the American tower much higher. Mr..
Andrew Carnegie has submitted q PROPOSE
ton for q tower which the fair managers
are now considering.
But if Expert Gen. Fitz -Simons knows
what he is talking about no shaft will be
sunk and no tower will be erected. He has
been running large roo into the earth 10
and about Chicago, and be declares that
| that city is practically afioat." 1--WE are
/ resting" he says, upon a semi fluid mass
which is covered by crus5 only sixteen
/ feet thick" IL Gen. Fitz.Slmons is right the
smart people must not take into cousidera-
| ton shafts or towers in trying TO originate
| something that will be one Of the wonders
| OF the world. 1t would not be an easy
| matter to sink q shaft to the depth
of 1000 feet, though a semi-nuid mass
| and crust of earth sixteen feet thick
would not sustain very big tower.
Having learned what sort OF foundation
Chicago is resting upon the council Of that
city have placed veto upon the erection of
any more very tall buildings. They are
afraid that the entire town may some day
break through into the semi-fuid mass, kerr
flop, and that would be worse disaster
that that caused by Mrs. O'IearYs COW.

Recent dispatches from the Texas border
state that the alleged capture of Cantinero
f. Caro-, the leader of the revolution now
IN progress in the northern states of Mexico,
has not yet been effected, although Presi-
dent Diaz has offered reward of $50, 900 to
any one who will take him. dead or alive
Continuing the dispatch states that "it has
been a very difficult matter to receive au-
thentic information concerning the move
ments OF the bold invader during the past
week" But the report reached San Antonio
that he was III the immediate vicinity
Of Piedras NegrRs. Mexico, with an army
of several hundred men, well armed. The
Mexican government is rushing troops to
that section by the hundreds, and will make
every effort to bring the uprising to an end.
There is great alarm felt among the citizens
on both sides ot the Rio Grande border
That Cara has not Yet given up his wild
undertaking Is shown by a stirring r1ani-
festo which he has just issued. and which is
being distributed in all the cities of the re-
public through his secret agents.

that will help us to the solution. The
greatest scientific men of to-day who might
be expected to assist us only confuse us the
more. All our roads lead out into myster-
les. Science, so far from exhausting this
mystery, has only deepened, broadened and
heightened it will not deny that we have
had a vast light shed upon the problem of
life. But L do say that when we have all
this light we still have larger and denser
circumference of darkness. In fact. the
more you study the question the more OF
mystery it becomes.
have watched through a microscope the
blood corpuscles circulating through the
fins of fish, and been filled with wonder
at the thought of how life commenced and
ceased. Tiny cells of life, if you please,
yet each cell carrying in itself the sub
stance of all that is law, order and exist
ence.
If we knew what is life then would we
know all things. However, this much Is to
be said: Wherever life is there is God.
That, at least, is the poetic view of the
question, if We can believe Lord Tenny-
son:
Flower in the crannied wall;
pluck you out of the crannies;
Hold you here. root and all in my hand,
Little flower-but if l could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
should know what God and man is.
The theory of the English scientist
Clodd, that death is not a necessary event,
is, it seems to me, not promising or practi-
cal There is a certain natural limit to the
life of all organized beings A tree springs
up, withers and dies; an animal is born and
in the course of time passes away. Such by
analogy, it seems to me, must be the case
with man. He may be able to live greater
number of years than he does at present;
but that number, think, will not be greatly
extended, and he must eventually die. In
fact, L don't see anything around me to
show that at the present day, with all our
advanced medical knowledge, we are living
to any greater age than did our forefathers.
If men were to live forever the world
would soon be full, but 1 don't think that
their condition would be improved. 1t

disc of the world-at least for those who
come into it. The struggle for existence is
hard enough already without having any
more competitors

Mrs. Anna Besant puts forward the ex-
PLANTATION Of theosophy, and says:
The whole universe is manifestation of
central life which is present in every atom
Of matter. What we speak of as a thing
living or dead is simply arrangements Of
matter which vary the manifestations of
life. Even in a biological sense death in
wolves new life. Doctors may be able to
settle that any given body is dead quite to
the satisfaction of coroner's jury, but they
don't even profess to know anything about
the soul, and this is well. am afraid their
determinations would not be satisfactory to
everybody. No, 1 cannot concede that there
is one absolute principle; at least this is not
conceivable. There can be no life without
love; no love without positive and mega
tive-in fact, no thought or consciousness
without this antithesis, this contrast, this
comparison
Besides, if science and philosophy will
talk OF an absolute principle, why not have
two absolute principles? Itis Just as easy
or as hard; you can take your choice.

shale rock, which in the second wheelbar-
row, is taken direct from the hill to the
man at the ''crusher." He shovels it into
the powerful machine, which, revolving

clay which when turned back to its original
state is denser than the ordinary substance

that reason produces stronger brick.

This pulverized clay is shoveled into the

Crystals Certainly Live.

Prof 7. Sterry Hunt, mineralogist and
mine engineer, says:
Mr.. Edison's hypothesis has nothing to
fear from the physicist. Crystals certainly
live. When it is considered that it is
demonstrated that these stone plants are
affected by light it can be realized that they
are not so insensible as popularly supposed.
The lie OF crystals is different kind of

derstand the term, they live in their own
way quite as decidedly as do plants aud ami

Appetite and Interest

Walter L. Hervey, dean of the School OF
Pedagogy of the University Of the City of
New York. says:
Between the conditions of physical and
mental life there exist these analogies:
Appetite in the one corresponds to interest
in the other.
"We can well afford to devote half our
time to creating an interest,"" SAYS Horace
Mann, "and the other half to satisfying it. -
Indeed, if civilization had not largely done
this for US We would be at the zero point of
existence. For without at least some in
terest in life there can be no life. Any
thing that increases this interest of life in
creases life itself
