The story of remarkable oriental
religious order has been published 1t
is the order Of tile Behais, or, as they
formerly called themselves, the Babis
The society took its rise in Persia the
ancient home Of the fire worshipers,
and spread like wildfire. Originating
in 1914 with a young Mohammedan
who called himself Eel Bah, or @The
Gate, the new faith passed like a wave
through western Asia, into India and
even touched the shores of China and
Japan. Not only this, but it was at
length carried into Russia, western Eu-
rope and finally to the United States.
Today, known to few outside Of
themselves, there are 1000 Babis in
this country. the fortunate land where
there is no religious martyrlom such as
the sect endured i'll Persia Forty thou
sand Babis suffered torture and death
for their faith in Persia. 1t is recorded
of them that they seemed not to suffer
pain from the awful tortures, but went
to their death murmuring the Arabic
text, Verify we are Gods, and to him
we return After the martyrdom of
the Babis in 1850 there arose for them
Beha'u'ullah. called "The Manifesta-
tion of God" He further developed
and advanced the doctrines, and the
Babis now call themselves from his
name, "Behais"
The followers of the new faith are
taught to live literally the ethical
teachings Of the New Testament, to
school themselves in unselfshness and
humility and to accept the doctrine of
the confirmation of the spirit as taught
by the apostles. The true followers of
the Beha drop from them at a stroke
the complications and worries of mod
ern social existence and lead lives of
extreme simplicity.
A feature that distinguishes the Be-
hal faith from other oriental theologies
is that from the beginning it inculeated
the perfect equality of the sexes. If it
did not, then one would know it TO be
false. Thousands of Behai women suf-
fered martyrdom in Persia before the
sect was driven to its present head
quarters at Acre, in Palestine. a her.
aid, prophet and martyr of the new
faith was KurratuTAyn. the most fa-
nous woman poet of Persia, One day,
full Of the spirit of prophecy. Kurra-
tu'TAyn tore the veil from her face
which act was a scandal to all Persia
ans Tiiskey, ran to the tent of the
Beha and babe lin come forth and
take his place as leader Of the Babis.
He obeyed aud that day began his mis-
sion. Today the most eloquent and
successful teachers Of the new faith
in England. France and the United
States, are women.

Treatment of Ores.
IN the years gone by those engaged
in smelling had carbonate and oxide
ores, principally, to treat. AS the
mines have gone deeper, the ores in
great many instances have taken on
sulpbide characteristics, and scant
provision for their successful and
economical treatment has been made.
As the ores change. so do methods OF
treatment, and within the last few
years great strides have been made in
this direction, so that we may expect
q plant which is now I'D to date may
at no distant day become obsolete.
Touching on the question of treat
ment charges, Mr.. SeWen desired to be
quoted saying that the aim of his
company would be to decrease rather
than increase them from now on. 1t
