A Borax Hfne.

From the Scientific and Mining Pressl Nearly all the boracio deposits hereto fore discovered have been found In the form of incruststions on the surface of marshlAnds, of nodulss buried beneath the surface or of crystals embedded in the mud at the bottom of shallow lakes. In q few instances these deposits are found in- terstrstified with layers of earth and rock, the entire formation being in @ horizontal Valley. But only In the Calico district, San Bernsrdino county, does one of these beracic deposits occur In the form of q regular vein, 60 uptilted that 1t requires to be exploited after the manner of a quartz or other ore-bearing lode.
 This deposit, the property of the Pacific Coast Borax company, Is located on the eoutheasterly slope Of the Calico Noun tains, or rather on 6 northeasterly spur of that range. This lode, which outcrops at intervals for nearly three miles. has an east and west course and a southerly incli- nation. The slate walls are inclosed in sandstone, superimposed upon which is a brecciated rock, evidently of volcanic ori- gin. The crude material here consists of ehat tafiety OI tue DOTAte or lime known as Colmanite.
 It Is of vitreous adsmantfne lustre and exceedingly rich in snhydrous borscic acid. The contents of the Assure are six feet thick, and at a depth of over two hun dred feet hold this proportion, nearly pure mineral. The deposit has been opened by several shafts standing one hundred feet apart, these being connected by drifts and levels. The material bsing easily broken down, but a small working force is re- quired in the mine. All that Is abnormal about this deposit of borsx Is easily ae- counted for
 Originally 1t was, no doubt, deposited at the bottom of a lake, where, later on, great floods brought down 6 quantity of sediment which covered 1t up. In course of time this sediment having been con verted into rock. the whole was then lifted up by some great convulsion of nature and left standing at its present angle, this movement having been most likely of 6 seismic character. In the early history of the borax industry the works put up for the manufacture of this salt were of very rude and primitive style.
 Owing to the great cost of lumber this article had to be economized to the utmost. the crystallized vata and other portions of the plant being left uncovered. But in the hot aud deeiccated atmosphere that for two-thirds of the year prevails in that re- zion, this was no detriment 60 long as the workmen could be protected in part, at least, from the rays of the sun, which here strike down with killing heat the whole day long

Evolution and National Strength.
 rFrou, tha 6t James, Budeet

Thomas Carlyle was not c philosopher much interested in the theory of evolu- tion; but once, inadvertently, he stated the theory, and a criticism of 1t, in sin gle graphic sentence. The welter of civi- liIed life, he said, was like canister full of worms, each of which was wriggling toward the surface. It is rather a pity that MT. Huxley did not recall that re- mark when he was composing the Ro- names lecture which he delivered at OK- ford the other day. It might have given him cue toward a practical deduction from the facts and fanoies which his high ly interesting discourse oollated.
 Are the worms which get to the top of society In the canister necessarily the ht- test to be therea Surely one cannot say so. They get to the top as much by req son of the wriggling of the other worms as by dint of their own cxertions- To call them the fttest or the strongest, to apply to them the superlative of any ad- jectiye whatsoever, would be absurd. The real question-from the answer to which some guidance may be got-is, what are the results of their being therei and what will happen If they are displacedi
 The results of the survival of certain classes and nations have been stability, or derly progress, evolution in the sense of growth in individual, in communal and in national strength. It was the old theory of English statssmen that growth could only be obtained by giving individuals scope for the exercise of the gifts with which they have been endowed. Within the lest few years, however. curious change has crept over our ideas.
 Fragile reed as he may be, man, as Pascal said" MT. Huxley echoing, "is 8 thinking reed"
 "There lies within him fund of ener- gy, operating intelligsntly, and so far akin to that which pervades the universe that it is competent to influence and modify the cosmic process" The thinking reed has become feeling reed, and Is dissatisfied with the "coemoe" as 1t stands. The struggle for existence has come to appear | c struggle which might be conducted on principles more advantageous to the weak | in muscle and the weak in brain.
 | The passion of pity, one- of the latent energies to which Pascal and Nr. Huxley allude, has stepped in to change the show | of things- The weak men pity themselves; | and the strong men are moved to their in- most bowels of compassion when they
 think of the poor or the destitute in the abstract. What Is to happen if the un- aided instinct for mere comfort supplants
 as the power moulding the constitution of society and of nations. the instinct of com. | petition and the willingness to accept the resultsi

A MODERN MIRACLE.

A MODERN MIRACLE.
 It is dull day when some new electrical wonder is not announced. One of the lat est is the discovery made by Messrs. La grange and Hoho of Belgium. The appa- ratus consists of glass vessel lined with lead, the lining being connected with a strong current of positive electricity. The vase Is filled with scidulated water, and Q negative current is conveyed to @ pair of bar of iron be lifted with the tongs end plunged into the water in the vessel pas sage for the electric current is made. The water at the point of contact begins to boil, the immersed iron rises to rcd and then to white heat, and in few minutes the iron melts and falls off in sparks, leaving a clear, glowing surface in perfect condition for welding. All this happens 50 rapidly that the main body of water is only moderately warmed, and the bar shows little heat except at the end. The e1- planstion is that the electric current separ- ates the water into oxygen and hydrogen gas; the former is attracted and combined anew on the extensive surface of the lead lining of the vase, the hydrogen gathers around the immersed portion of the bar, and being bad conductor offers 6 power ful resistance to the passage of the electric current, which thereupon turns energy to ths production of heat.
 It is believed that other work than weld ing can be done by means of this powerful process. For instance, the hardening and tempering of armor plates and such like in which great resistance to penetration or abrasion by friction Is requisite, while preserving the interior tough and fbrous to resist concusion or strain. Krupp 6 Go. are already experimenting with this process in the hardening of steel cannon. Another thing suggested is the artificial manufacture of diamonds, rubies and sap phires, which have been produced already under @ combination of intense heat and pressure, but only in particles too small to have commercial value.

THE CLOU D.

One funny man says that the cloud which overhangs the financial affairs in this country has silver lining, and an- other rises to remark that the eilver lining has cloud. How gloomy a cloud i. is is made very plain by the statement which Secretary Carlisle has made. The main facts in this statement should be kept be- fore the people. They are both impressive and instructive.
 The act of July IA, 1890, required the secretary of the treasury to purchase 4, ,500, ,000 fine ounces of silver bullion each month, and to continue the coinage of sill yer dollars at the rate of $2,000, ,000 per month until the 1st day of July, 1891, and under this act there have been coined $29,- 40S, ,461, which makes the total coinage of silver dollars, under all acts since 1878, $419, ,294, 1885, or more than fifty times as much as was coined during previous period of eighty-one years.
 In addition to the silver bullion pur- chased by the government since 1878, and coined as above stated, ths secretary of the treasury has purchased, under the act of July IA, 1890, and now holds in the vaults of the treasury, unooined, 124, ,292. .532 fine
 ounces of silver bullion, which cost the
 people of the United States $114, ,299, ,920,
 and is worth to-day at the market price oi
 silver $103, All ,3se, thus showing loss oi SIG, ,8SS, ,530. By the terms of the act the
 secretary was required to pay for all silver
 bullion purchased by the issue of new United States treasury notes, payable iu coin, and 1t provided that upon demand oi
 the holder of any such notes they should
 be redeemed in gold or silver coin, at the discretion of the secretary, ''it being," ir the language of the aot, "the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on parity with each other upon the present legal ratio. or such ratio as may be provided by law"
 The records of the Treasury depart ment show that during the eleven months
 beginning May s1, 1892, and ending May 1, 1893, the coin Treasury notes issued for the purchase of silver ballion, under
 the act of July IA, 1890. amounted te $49, ,961, ,1s4, and that during the same period the amount of such notes paid ir gold was $47, 7,745,1 ,17S. It thus appear that all the silver bullion purchased dur ing that time, except $2,216, Oil worth was paid for in gold, while the bullion itself is stored in the vaults of the treas ury, and can neither be sold nor used fol

A Costly Hun.


 A landed proprietor from the German provinces was staying not long ago at 6 hotel in Berlin. He got into conversation with the landlord one evening, and they talked of the hardness of the the times.
 'tIt seems to me-" said the visitor, ''thAt the Berlin people have got no money left, " taking from hispocket as he spoke, bulky purse, from which he took c couple of bank notes, twisted them into a spill, and calmly lit his cigar. Boniface and the oth- CT people present stared at him in open mouthed amazsment.

Strange story Of the Indian Mutiny.
 The Digser's News, q South African p.- per, ssys that man named Gleeson, who was sergeant in the British army during the Indian mutiny, and who died last December, confessed to his son-in-lsw Hughes, at Pretoria CTrAnsvAAn, that he murdered the king of oude. and with two others stole the crown jewels and buried them The two other Hooters were killed during the war. The day after the footing the Thirty second wss ordered away, and the town was handed back to the enemy, so there was no time to secure the jewels. Since Giesson's death, Hughes had been eonmunicating with the Indian government through the editor of an Indian journal, and as au the facts and descriptions coin cide, Hughes leaves shortly for India to show the spot where the treasure is buried near the battle field.
