A MICA FIND.
A Valuable Discovery on the Tete Jaime

Great Falls March 91-There seems
to be more than gold on the Tete jaime
Cache, if the stories Of those who have
visited the place are to be believed. 1t
will be remembered that this is the
place where Major George B. McLaugh-
lin and his party are reported to have
discovered rich placers. The latest find
is of mica by John NJ. Smith, who has
brought out several pack loads of the
mineral, which is pronounced of fine

Mica differs from other minerals in
this respect: The size and quality alone

a great deal of care is necessary in

 This description refers back to be- fore the laced marking was achieved. They were known as the Pheasant Bantams.
 Sir John also established q club for the fostering and improvement of his pets, on which they endeavored to ob- tain the beautiful plumage of the Pol ish fowl on as small specimens as possible. By judiciously crossing the Polish with the Rantams they gradu ally obtained their end. They had to get rid of the top knots, haekles and long tail feathers, and reduce the size, retaining as much as possible the Ban tam characteristics. This has been most successfully accomplished but not without occasionally recrossing with the Rose Comb Blacks, for con stant in-breeding had often brought the birds to a standstill.
 The Seabright Bantam is bred in two varieties-Golden and Silyers- both alike in points excepting ground color of plumage, which should be a golden bay in one and pure white in the other. In perfect specimens every feather should be laced with narrow edging of black, and the center of the feather should be clear of foreign color. This is practically in all sec

CAROLINE ISLANDS.
POSSESSIONS OF SPAIN WHERE PER.
 PETUA4- SUMMER RElGNS.

They Stretch About 1000 Miles From East
 to West : Thermometer Rarely Goes
 Above 90 Degrees-ghe Natives Are Semi
 sRvages and WarIiEe.
 If the United States should obtain control of the Philippine Islands. it would then be only question of 8 short while until the Caroline Islands pass into American rule. The Caroline Islands over whick Spain now holds sovereignty stretch about 1000 miles from east to west, and though near to the equator, and in climate of per petual summer, the thermometer ranges from "A degrees to ST degrees through the year. Within the group there are five islands, of basaltie form ation, some of them having high noun tains from 2,0O0 to 5000 feet high. These are Kusaie, Ponape, Ruk Yap, and Pelew. Kusaic and Ponape have been called the Gems of the Pacific For over thirty years the mieronesian mission has fourished in the islands, island after island having been visited by Christian teachers, and no one ever visiting there, ever saw any sign or ever had the remotest thought that any European nation claimed sovereignty there. There were no Spaniards on the islands, no Spanish vessels in the waters. The natives were absolutely Independent and their chiefs were not even asked to recognize any authority outside of their islands. The Caroline Islanders are elaborately tatooed, but their clothing is of the slightest. The characteristics vary somewhat on the various islands but most of the people are savage and warlike. While not noted for cannibalism, it is said that on some of the islands there is not an adult who has not tasted human flesh. In 1888 more than thirty different is- lands were occupied by native Chris tian teachers trained undert American missionaries; the people were Chris tianized; liquor and tobacco were ban ished from the islands and "the Ten Commandments" became a code of laws. There were established forty seven churches, with 4,500 members and fifteen native pastors. Such was the condition of the islands in 1888 un- til question of territorial rights was disputed by the European powers be- cause of Spain's enforcement of her claim Of sovereignty. The matter in dispute was referred to the pope for ar bitration who iii his discussion gave the Marshall Islands to Germany, the Caroline Islands to Spain, and the Gill bert Group to England. After that Spanish governor, six Roman Catholic priests and fifty Spanish soldiers were sent to Ponape. Since then no Ameri- can missionary has been allowed to remain at Ponape. The Micronesian missionary boat has been forbidden to touch at any point of the islands ex- cept at the Spanish harbor. Recently, after years of delay, the Spanish gov ernmept has paid $17, ,500 for the Amer ican mission property destroyed. Spanish vessels seldom appear in the Ruk archipelago or at Kusaie and they have no difficulty on these islands.

The latest figures give about 2,000.0O0 cases of condensed milk as being manufactured in the United States yearly. more than half of which is con Sumed at home.

Seabright Bantams are a living evi. denee of the art of man in preventing nature, or rather leading nature into paths which she would not naturally follow. It was about the year 1900 when Sir John Seabright, deceased. first began to fashion the Seabright Bantam.
 The record, as given in Wrights book of poultry, states that Sir John first obtained a buff colored Bantam

AVERAGE OF HUMAN LIFE INCREASING

Mankind is not deterlorating Certain
alarmists are continually crying out that
the human race. having reached the PIN
nacle OF material prosperity, has lost its
hardy virtues. They admit superior excel
lence in individuals, but argue that the man
of today has become enervated and degen-
crate. They say that he is oyerworked
and underfed. They claim that he hae be-
come emasculated by twentieth century
civilization; that he is deterorating phys
ically, mentally and morally.
These prophets of evil then go on to par
ticularize. They point out that the long
and irregular hours of labor, continuing in
many cases far into the night, and the high
pitch to which the nervous system is
wrought in performing the constant brain
work required of the man of today strain
to the swapping point the vitality of the
individual and lead to the constant use
OF stimulants. They attest these argu-
ments by indicating the enormous total in
crease in the consumption of liquor, coffee,
tea and other stimulating drinks, alcoholic
and non alcoholic.
Tobacco also, they say, is almost univer-
sally used today, its consumption COM
mencing with the youth and his noxious
cigarette and continuing almost uninter-
ruptedly to the brink of the grave.
These persons emphasize the point that the
American especially has with him always

cred the political and economic side OF
man. Physicians, teachers ana preachers
ministered to his physical mental and spir-
itual necessities and specialized each in
their separate lines.
But each class has been class OF spe-
caists. and has dealt with one or two
OF the myriad sides which the developed
man OF today presents. And the philcs-
ophers have gone on following In the
footsteps of Socrates, forming inconclusive
theories about the here and futile theories
about the hereafter.
The latter half of the nineteenth century
has witnessed growing desire on the part
Of men to know something more definite
about the progress that they suppose that
they are making. They want to know where
they stand; the effect of the civilization that
they are striving to create upon themselves.
They have been loath to believe the dire
prophecies and conclusions of the little
humans" They desired to know whether
the house they are building around them so
painfully is after all a house of cards.
A Wonderful New Science.
So of comparatively recent years men
have turned their attention to a science
which purported to gauge the rise and fall
Of human progress-the science of ethnoogy
that science which Mr. Webster defines as
Treating of the different natural races and
families of men" The subject matter is
broad enough and since the time of Mr..
Webster the field of inquiry has been broad
ened still more until the ethnologist of today
is less a student of the bones of prehistoric
man than a close observer of the mental,
moral and physical qualities of the varying
types Of civilized man. Such a scientist as
the one indicated can speak with the au-
nj hp nf
mankind back of him, and so far as anyone
is capable of Judging now can sit in judg
ment on his race. Such a man is Prof. w. j. |

gressive and important of the scientific de-, !
partments of the government. He impresses
one as might great physician whose duty

a half miles per hour; in London, three
in New York, three and a quarter, and in
Chicago, San Francisco and Denver the lat
ter pace is exceeded. But Mr. Spencer would
have found If he had taken the trouble TO
investigate that the average length of life
in America exceeds the average in England
and that one proportion of our population
that is confined within asylums for the in
sane is considerably less than in either
England, France or Germany.
