CURIOUS RELIGIONS.
Some sccts the Members Of Which
Thought They Couldn't Die.

Our congress is prohibited by the con-
stitution from making laws respecting
religious views and theories. This being
the case, fanatics of all kinds have TAX
en- the opportunity to propound their
views and make an effort to spread their
doctrines. Within the present century
not less than half dozen deluded NOR
tails residing within the limits Of the
United States have claimed to be Christ
returned to earth, and the queer thing
In connection with the ministry Of such
fanatics is the fact that they oan per.
suade persons who are supposed to have
a fair amount Of brains to believe that
they are all they claim to be.
Since 1880 five different scots have
been founded In the United States tine
members Of which claimed the ability
Of either themselves or their founder to
live forever. Each Of these queer com.
munities has been known by It's neigh.
bors az "the immortals," and each has
In the course Of time come to grief, as
all such visionary dreamers must. The
last deluded being to found scot on
the theory that he himself. at least, was
immortal was David Patterson. who was
known to his followers as "the eye Of
Jehovah. The Patterson sect we're
known as "the children Of Zion" Their
headquarters were mainly at Grand
Rapids. Mich. although there were up
ward Of dozen branch organizations in
the different states Of the Union. Pat
terson claimed that he would never die,
and the great tenet Of faith with the
children of Zion was belief in the claims
which their leader made. In 1883 this
self styled "eye Of Jehovah" began to
grow dim-in other words, to waste
away with an inourable disease. Finally
he went to France, where he died. Just
a. all other mortals have done or will
do. This cured the delusion Of the Mich.
iganders at Grand RapidA who soon
awoke TO the fact that their leader had
either been crazy fanatic or . bias

Basilisks snd Dragons.

One Of the peculiarities Of the ancient
writer's on natural history subjects was
the implicit faith which they placed in
the genuineness of the various hasilisk
and dragon stories which were told to
them. Brunette. for an instance to the
point, relates with all soberne@ that
"the ibasilisk is the king of serpents.
He wears white crest upon his head,
and suoh is the abundance Of his venom
that the air is poisoned wherever this
dire reptile passes Trees In which he
makes his home exhale such poisonous
odor that birds in flying over are so
overcome with 1t that they fall to the
ground dead.
"The dragon, "'says the same snthor,
sis the very largest Of serpents and in
habits especially India and Ethiopia.
When he flies out Of the oaverns in
which he makes his home, he burrows
the air with such violence as to make
it gleam with fire. His mouth ia small,
and he has not the power to inflict dead
ly wounds with his teeth. In his tail,
however, his power lies, and with it he
can instantly strangle the largest ele.

Copper From Green water.

Ono Of the most interesting sights in
the great mining town Of Butte is the
process by which copper is caught from
the emerald oolored water that flows
from the Anaconda and st. Lawrence
mines II Ia estimated that this water.
which for four or five years went TO
waste, is now bringing the Anaconda
company $50, 900 q month at . cost Of
about 81, 900 month.

ground are covered with wooden watts.
These are filled with all the old scrap
iron they can hold. It has proved splen-
did scheme for disposing Of the tons and
tons Of old iron the company has accu-
mulated for years. Old hoisting cages,
water pipe. wheelbarrows, railroad iron
lin fact, any old thing that consists Of
tin or iron--is appropriated to this serv-
ice.
It is said for every pound of iron put
into vat pound Of copper is produced.
Where the water first attacks the iron,
the copper absorbs tho iron completely
within three weeks. After the precipi-
tation is effected the water is drawn of
and the Shiny copper is transferred to
another tank, where tine water is further
drained OF. These latter vats hold
about 10 tons Of the copper, which now
has the appearance Of a olayish sub
stance. This is sacked into packages Of
about 100 pounds. When in this shape.
it is sent to the smelters in this city.
The product carries an average of SO
per cent pure copper. The iron remain

mixed with other smelling ore it is
