X Ray Reveals God.

70 apply the X ray to mining is q
novel idea which has just been de-
veloped by DR.. Fipis E. Yoakum, of
Los Angeles. He has fixed the ray
upon piece of quartz whose exterior
showed no Indication Of gold and i'm
print upon the Photographic plates
shadows of the precious metal within
On June 80 the physician was photo
graphing a tumor. There was some
vacant space on the plate and just for
luck he laid thereon a bit of gold
bearing quartz. When the plate was
developed there stood forth upon it an
outline of rock, with specks here and
there, showing the presence of gold.
Since that day he has taken q number
of pictures of valua BILE ore.
X rays pass through quartz easily,
but gold stays their progress, so the X
ray photograph shows the presence of
gold distinctly. DR.. Yoakum believes
it will be of service to geologists and
mineraloeists in studying rocks He
thinks, perhaps, it will be possible to
use X rays in mining ore.

The train from the west bad today

The train from the west bad today
not exactly thrilling experience, but
experience enough to vary the mono
tony of travel. Between Deming and the
bridge protruding rock knocked off a
set OF car steps from the first coach,
and about a mile west of here q hand
car had been left too near the track,
and knocked off two more sets of car
steps besides smashing the platform
and scratching up the side of the car.
The passengers were scared, but with
singular presence of mind refused to
leap from the train until it had
stopped, and then they all hocked out,
and said. ''Oh, N.Y."

Only a Church Row.

LONDON, July 15.-A storm has been
created in the church of England by
some of the passages in the jubilee
sermon of Cardinal Vaughan, Catholic
arch bishop of Westminster. Owing to
the fact that it was preached at the
height of the jubilee festivities, it re-
ceived but scant attentiO from the
press, but it has since been put into
pamphlet form and a quarter of a mil
lion copies printed for distribution in
the various dioceses. The passages
that have raised rumpus are those in
which the cardinal congratulates the
high church party in the church of
England upon having permeated with
Catholic doctrines and practices, and
in which he expressed his thanks for
this ''partial conversion to the old
faith of England. The church papers
also contend that in thanking God
ssfor the divine favor which surrounded
the queen with special grace from
the beginning of her reign," the car
dinal literally admits that his church
is not the only true church. inasmuch
as, according to his own faith, Queen
Victoria is q hereto. Hence, they
say, the admission that hereto can
be endowed with a special grace and
be surrounded by divine favor is one of
the most extraordinary that has ever
come from Catholic prelate.
