Ran Over a Whale.

San Francisco.-Mariners in San
Francisco Bay are keeping sharp
lookout for vagrant whales, as the har-
bor seems to be alive with sportive
leviathans which do not respect the
right of way of ferryboats and other
craft. Since the wreck of the pilot
boat Bonita, last week, there have
been many jokes over this fish story,
and among the skeptical was Capt.
Mckenzie of the Sausalito ferryboat
San Rafael. Mckenzie is no longer
a doubter, for when THE ferryboat was
at full speed, a whale rose directly in
in it's course, not twenty feet away.
Before engines could be reversed or
the wheel swung over the vessel
struck the whale fairly and passed
clean over it, as it came up astern,
spouted and then disappeared. The
shock was as though the vessel had
run into a mud bank.

the Republica Mining Company for
about year under an agreement
whereby the company paid $1,000 a
month. This was kept up for some
time, but finally the the company
lapsed in it's payments, and the mine
was about to revert to It's former own
ers when Mr.. Irwin assumed the obli-
cations and took the mine. The For

Welding of Copper.

Charles E. Wait, professor of chem
istry at the University of Tennessee,
gives the results of some tests he made
in welding copper according to the
"Liebe process" It is of interest to
note that Professor Wait says the
process is essentially a method of treat
ing the copper, after which it can be
welded to itself, or to iron or steel,
similarly and as simply as iron is
welded to iron in the blacksmith's
forge. He states that the process is
not one of electrical welding or braz-
ing, as some have supposed, but is
simply welding with heat and f1ux, as
iron is welded.

A timely warning is sounded against
any wholesale rush of fortune-seekers
to South Africa. The ending of the
war and the absorption of the Boer
states into the British empire will
doubtless stimulate migration to those
regions, and will also increase the op-
portunities of profitable settlement
there. But it will not be prudent for
any one to go thither without some
capital, or at least sufficient resources

pendence of anything he may or may

try to live in, and the gold mines and

a mere colony of separate cells.

Probably there are many worried
Americans who would find it greatly to-
their interest to adopt few of the sug-
gestions made by Daniel Gregory Ma
son In an article which he contributes
to Scribner's Magazine. Mr.. Mason,
commenting on the numerous maladies
that modern man is heir to, points out
that men and women generally have
fallen into a bad habit of physical
self-consciOusness." On the one hand
there are the hypochondriacal sufferers
who cannot read a medical dictionary
without having all the symptoms there,
in described. On the other side there
are the faddists who in taking up some
physical-culture scheme or rest cure
or restricted diet keep their maladies
perpetually in mind by the very earn
estness with which they endeavor to
evade or destroy them. In short, neith-
er the hypochondriacs nor the consci-
entious worriers who watch their daily
symptoms under the beneficent infiu-
ences of some health-getting program
are pursuing the right way to be
healthy and happy in this world. Man
1festly Mr.. Mason's advice that men
trust to a natural tendency to health"
might be carried too far. A man who
really has broken leg or an infiamed
stomach needs to devote enough "phy-
s1cal self-consciousness' to his case to
telephone for doctor. But in general,
and for vast number of the ills. imag-
mary and real, which humanity bears,
1t Is question If the sufferer might
not do much better just to trust to
the tendency to health" not trying
merely to forget his troubles-whereby
he would only the more keenly realize
them-but getting up lively interest
In something else.

The neuron is a nerve cell. Neither
Pythagoras nor Plato knew that man
had neurons. These philosophers had
no microscopes. When the neurons
were discovered they were Immediately
studied with fervor. A scientist of re-
pute put forth the theory that each
neuron had an independent life When
a man went to sleep 1t was because his
neurons contracted and failed to touch
one another. Hence, the communion
tion with his brain was broken. When
the neurons got rested they stretched
themselves once more. They touched
and formed continuous line in the
nerve. The brain was again placed
In connection with the outer world and
It's owner woke up. The brain being

pictured man as a conglomeration Of
minute but independent beings. He
was a colony Of tiny creatures. They
ruled him. His consciousness was sim

der the glass. 1t is found that they are
not independent. Their protoplasm or
