generally conceded. The tendency is for
ours to degenerate to tissue paper

Chinese ideas, life is entirely dependent
on ''air currents, which are designat-

So long, then, as the body lie permeated

Iron Plentiful in Porto Rico.

Much has been recently said about
the mineral resources of Porto Rico
and their commercial value. An Off
cial report to the United States GeOlo-
gical Survey just made by Kcbert T.
Hill indicates that the most valuable
metallic resource of the island is q
large deposit of magnetic iron in ahill
just north of .JuncOs. The ere is of
great purity containing fully SO per
cent. of pure iron. 1t has been esti-
mated that there are 35.000,00O tons of
this ore i'll sight. On the most con-
servative basis the deposit contains
100000 tons of metallic iron.
The deposit is ten miles distant from
a seaport. and its development will ne
ceSSitate the construction of a railroad.
Mr.. Hill reports that the conditions of
the deposits could not be mere 'favOra-
BILE. The ore is encountered ir compact
masses. easy of extraction and covered
only by light layer of earth. The hill
is about 40 feet high and the approach
to it from the seaport of Naguabo is
hy per cent grade. Naguabo is said
TO be able to accommodate ships of 20
feet draft.
Gold is washed in small quantities
from some of the Porto Rican rivers,
notably the Luquillo and Lola. The
amounts gained, however, ale unim-
pOrtant. 80 cents to dollar a day re-
presenting the average product of hard
labor. The natives get the gold from
the river sand and gravel. The mother
rock of this meta has never been de-
termined, but Mr.. Hill doubts its ex-
istence. as he found no evidence of it
on the island. He says that while il
is impossible to reach any positive con-
clusion as to the quantity or value of
the gold of the island, experience has
shown that the placer deposits are not
rich or extensive.

body swinging wildly from it like a

fling, crash in the covering green,
and so they are gone.
Tame they are the gentlest creatures.
The Malays catch the young ones and

face of an old woman, with round un-
happy eyes, in the softness of her

stretched arms. But they always die.
