prince, San Severe, occupied himself
with some success in chemical expert
ments in Naples. For example, he had
obtained the secret Of penetrating mar
BILE with colCrs in such manner that in
cutting plates from it each newly ex-
posed surface presented repetition OF
the colored figures designed on the ex-
terror. In 176l he exposed human skulls
to the influence of various reactiVes,
and subsequently to the heat OF glass
blowers furnace, but kept so careless
an account of the processes, that, from
his own acknowledgement, be could not
hope to arrive at the same result sec
ond time. The product OF the last
mentioned experiment was vapor, or
gas. which became illuminated at the
approach Of fame and burned several
months In succession, without any APP
parsnt dissolution OF the materials.
The parts lost by evaporation were
more than replaced by the combination
of oxygen during the combustion.
San Severe imagined that be had
found the secret OF the ineXtinguishable
lamps, but he would not divulge the
process, lest the vault In which the
priuces OF his family were inhumed
should be deprived OF the distinguish
ing mark with which be hoped to honor
it-namely, that OF being lighted by an
everlasting lamp. Had he labored
like a philosopher of the present
day the name Of San Severe would
have been linked to the important dis
covery Of the existence OF phosphorus
in bones in a gaseous form that caused
the phenomena he obtained. But he
operated like thaumaturgist, and his
name is forgotten with his works. while
science gives honor to Gam aud Scheeie,
who eight years later, in 1869. estab-
llshed the fact and published the pro-
cess by which phosphorus might be
eliminated from bones.

IN HINDosTAN.

From the earliest ages magic has OBJ.
tanned the highest consideration in
Hindostan. NJ. Horst establishes the
truth that the collection OF the Vedas
contains many magical writings. He
remarks that the laws Of Menou, in the
code published by Sir William Jones,
mention various magical ceremonies
which are permitted 10 be employed by
the Brahmins. There exists also In
Hindostan a belief not less ancient, aud
which likewise prevails in China, that
By the practice of certain austerties
the penitent acquires an inviucible and
truly magical power over the elements,
men, and even over the powers Of
Heaven. The Hind0o MYTHOLOGY IN
many places represents penitents die
tating laws and inflicting punishments
on the Supreme Divinity.
If from the East we carry our inquiry
Westward and toward the North, we
find magic bearing equal marks of &C
tendency and of high antiquity. Under
It's name, occult SCIENCE" Ii was
known to the Druids Of Great Britain
and those Of Gaul.
Odjn as soon as he had founded his
religionjn Scandinavia, was regarded
there as the inventor of magic. Yet
how many had preceded him! Voeleurs
or Volveurs, priestesses well yersed in
magic. were associated with the ancient
religion which Odin attempted to either
destroy or 10 remodel. The first tales
Of Saxo Examinations are connected
with times greatly anterior to the age
OF Odin. There are few Of them that
do not contain a display Of magical
power.

Experiments relative to the cultivation

year will be to find some forage plant
which sown with wheat, oats and barley
will produce fall and winter pasture. The
securing of good winter pasturage is of
great importance to the stock raiser. His
cattle may fatten wonderfully in summer,
but when the keen winds of winter COM

starvation. II good hardy grass that

All persons who are familiar with the
condition of New Mexico, so far as its
development IS concerned as compared
with that of the Rocky mountain states to
the north, readily admit that the chances
for the profitable investment of capital
are incomparably greater IN number than
in any of those states. Many adverse in
tuences have combined, up to the present,
to deter many men of means from inves-
tigating, or investing in new enterprises
in this territory, that could have been
made to pay excellent profits. So this
field is yet CONF aratively virgin ground

and start new developments or enterprises

A NATURAL TRADE CHANNEL.

Colorado may well be proud to cele-
brate Gov. Evans birthday. He is truly
loyal to the Rocky mountain region and
his latest enterprise to develop traffic
with the gulf deep water harbors by All
alliance between the Denver & Fort Worth
and D. e. R. G. roads is going to prove of
immense benefit to western interests.
The time is fast approaching when old
methods, which compel this vast empire
to pay exclusive tribute to the Atlantic
sea board, must give way, in the natural
order of things, and we, people of the
mountain valleys, must look to New Or
leans, Galveston and Velasco as our trad
ing ports.
Gov. Evans has seen this for years.
He saw it when he caused the first shovel
of earth to be thrown on the Gulf rail
road out of Denver; he saw it when he
had the nerve to attack the Union Pacific
and wrest from its tenacious hold the con-
troll of this route; and he sees it now
more distinctly than ever when he brings
about peaceful relations between the d..
& r. G. and these gulf connections.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that the southern ports are forging
ahead in the export trade. New Orleans,
which last year had an import trade of
$21,l00,0o0, exported products to the
value of $85,2OO,OO0. Galveston and
yelasco are also keeping pace with the
times, and each year adds fresh import
ance to this natural trade channel for the
Rocky mountain country.
