Herman Reinbold, Phi. d. Of Omaha
Neb.. came to Deadwood a week ago
and was occupied during his visit to the
Hills in special investigations of the
commercial extent Of some of the rare
minerals. One of the purposes Of his
enquiries is to determine whether mer
charitable quantities of the metal uran-
ium could be found that would warrant
treatment, and in order to obtain the
required information he devoted three
days in a district where uranium Lh S
phate had been known to exist for up
wards of twenty years, and he returned
from the mine with the belief that by
following the exposed ore into the hill
for a reasonable distance mineral could
be broken down that would warrant
shipment. The annual consumption of
uranium for all purposes Throughout the
world is 10000 lbs, valued at 81 100000.

THE NEW JAPAN.
Religious federation FIourishes In the
Land of the Mikado.

Religious federation FIourishes In the
Land of the Mikado.
One of the first acts of the emperor after
the restoration of 1868 was the promulga-
ton of an edict abolishing the laws against
foreign religions and their propagation
among the people; hence 1t came to pass
that for the first time in centuries the doc
trine and tenets of Christianity could be
freely preached and taught in Japan.
Mention of this momentous event natu-
rally suggests some consideration Of the
question of religious faiths in Japan and
Of their influence upon the intellectual and
moral growth of the nation. Cine interest
ing fact Immediately discloses itself, and
that is that up to the time when Japan
was closed to the world foreign religions
had not only been tolerated, but had even
been eagerly welcomed and espoused. This
is notably true of Christianity and Bud
dhism. The latter was introduced about
552 A. ID. Until that time Shintoism was
the only religion Of the people.
1.-The coming of Buddhism" as one OF
our historians says, wrought complete
change in the mind of the nation. Hith-
erto the peoples conception of religion
had been of a most rudimentary character.
They merely believed that the gods must
be revered, relied on and feared. In their
simple faith they attributed every happy or
unhappy event, every fortunate or unfor-
tunate incident, to the voiition Of the del
ties, to whom, therefore, they offered sac
riflces that evil might be avertcd." The
transition from pantheism of this descrip-
| ton to belief in a faith which inculcated
virtue and well doing and announced the
doctrine of future rewards and punish
| ments might naturally be regarded as
difficult, but it was accomplished in Japan
| in surprisingly brief period The intro
| duction of Buddhism did not, however,
J destroy reverence for the ancient Shinto
| faith The two existed side by side; in
some cases they were even partially ANAL
gamated through the skillful adoption by
| Buddhist propagandists of some features
| of the Shnto belief as part of the Bud
dhist tenets.-Toru Hoshi in Harper

A ROMANCE OF BOOK HUNTING.
Recovery of Precious Volume After

the father wrote his name on the fly Leaf
A few years afterward the son, accom-.
panied by his beloved books, went to ia
maica, where the translation in question
was borrowed of him by military officer
on service in that colony. This officer,
being unexpectedly transferred with his
regiment to another colony, quilted ia
maica very suddenly, inadvertently taking
with him the borrowed translation, cir
cumstance which caused great annoyance
and regret to its owner, who priced it very
highly as being the gift of his father and
containing that parents handwriting. He
made various attempts to learn the where
abouts of the officer who had SO carelcssly
carried off the treasured volume, but could
never obtain any tidings of him, and at
length reinquished the effort and gave up
the book for lost. 8.
Five and twenty years afterward the
book hunter, having returned to London,
was one day strolling along the Old Kent
road and peering about him, as usual, when
he came to the shop of dealer in old iron,
near the then existent turnpike gate,
which formerly stood nearly opposite the
burial ground AS he glanced into the
dingy depths of this shop he suddenly es-
pied his lost translation slowed away upon
a shelf. Hastily entering the shop he
bought back his missing treasure for the
sum of sixpence, which the man of iron
seemed to think himself very lucky In get

his fathers handwriting on the fly leaf was
still ms legible as ever and rendered 1t GER

cred, was the identical one the loss OF
