OF I'M MORTALITY.

Sci.nc. Positively tt U, That We Are
Not B,rn to Die.
From the Century we quote as fol-
lows from an article by Prof. Du Rois
OF Yale on ''Scicn:e and Immortal
ity": Masters Of self can be at
ia ned only in a world where tempta-
ton; and sin are possible where vol
untary dlsobedicnca is the outcome OF
ignorant transgresSion. These are
necessary to the end, not merely al.
lowed but designed il he purpose of
~uch Il world is pla n to road. 1t
means that not happiness here is tho
enc for which we are to strive That
is a means to help US to encourage
Us 10 lead us on. Not the avoidance
Of pain is the end. That also is
means to warn Us, to guide us if
need be to compel us But the great
end which science itsel is forced to
recogni e IS the mastery O self

A Valuable Discovery.

IL. B. Stevens recently made dis
ccvery Of large deposits OF boraie o
lime or rhodizIte about one. hall mile
southeast Of Calico, California. This de-
posit ~ very valuable carrying, as II does,
"A high percentage Of boraeic acid from
which pure borax Is manufactured. The
deposit IL 1900 feet in length and thirty
ieet in width, and is about one hall mile
west OF the Calico Boraie Company y

ci aims on the main ore belt and from
tests made il Is found TO be richer IN
acids than any oi the biborate OF sodium
deposits found on the coast. The de
post IL IN most accessible place, being
only Six miles IRON the Atlantic and Pa
ciic railroad and can be worked at
small expense The dip Of the vein is
ABOUT twenty degrees and the gangue
matter is lime. A good wagon road bias
been built to the mine and AN opening OF
thirty feet has been made in the vein.
At that depth the ore shows up better
than on the snf ce. Many millions OF
dollars have been made out of the borax
deposi, OF California and many millions
more remain 10 be made from the same
source. The Searls Borate Co. aud the
