MORMON EXPLORING PARTY.
Set Ont to Find in Central Anne ricn
Ruin VerihcatiOn of the
Book of Mormon

One Of the most remarkable eNpedi-
tions for antiquarian research which
have set out for some time is composed
of parry of NJ mon students which
left Graham county, \. T., few days
lgo, for three years trip through
Central and South America. In the
party are "a men from the Brigham
Young academy. in Provo. Utah. includ-
ing President Benjamin Cluff and two
professors Their object is to explore
the country and its resources while
searching for traces of the last sury.T-
ors OF the Nephites, says local report.
The Mormon theory on which the eS-
pedition is +, sed, as advanced By lead
ers OF the party. is this: About eco b.
c.. Lchi and his family. accompanied by
Ishmael and his family, left Jerusalem
and went into the wilderness.
After 40 years of wandering they
built boats and sailed toward the con-
tinent. landing where Chilli now is.
Nephi and Laman were two of Lehi's
sons Nephi was beautiful and obedi-

many followers who married and in
termarried until they numbered many
thousands, and built many large cities
in what is now the northern part of
South and Central America, Mexico and
southern Arizona and New Mexico.
The two factions waged war for many
years, according to the Mormon theory,
until, eventually. about 400 a. d., the
Nephites were entirely exterminated
by the Lamanites. From the latter
the American Indians are descended.
Maroni, the last surviving Nephite,
buried the records of his people, writ
ten on brass plate, in the hill
"Cumorah." in the state of New York,
and the angel Maroni revealed these
plates to Joseph Smith. The trans.a-
ton of these constitute the Book of
Mormon.
The Provo expedition hopes to find
in the ruins of Central and Southern
American cities evidence that they
were built by the descendants of Lehi
and thus give to the world proof that
the Book of Mormon is what the Lat
ter Day Saints assert it to be-a true
history OF the people who inhabited
this continent years ago.

Meath Rate in the Boer War.

Now that the war is drawing to
close. we can reckon up its cost in blood.
Ten thousand men have purchased the
Boer republics for Britain with their
lives, rot to speak of four times that
80 have been wounded, many
ed for life. 1t is ter
ole recuG, but it is consoling- there
can be consolation in such deplora
Bile eyent-to know that the mortality
has been less than was expected when
the full strength of the army in South
Africa was known. The chances of war
are that five men in a hundred will be
killed in battle or die of disease, but
the deaths in South Africa have been
only four per hundred. This is near
" two per cent lower than the NOR
tality in our Napoleonic wars, and it
compares favorably with the death rate
in some of the principal wars OF the
century.-London Chronicle.

An Amateur s.v.nt Fooled.

The stories are common enough of
fire engines being turned out to
quench an aurora, and, on the other
hand, it has not seldom happened that
a very mundane confagration has
passed muster for Celestial dis
play says knowledge. In the me-
moirs of Baron Stockmar an amusing
anecdote is related of one Herr Won
Radowitz, who was given to making
the most Of easily picked up informa-
ton. A friend of the baron's went to
an evening party near Frankfort,
where he expected to meet Herr Won
Radowitz. On his way he saw barn
burning, stopped his carriage, assisted
the people, and waited till the flames
were nearly extinguished. When he
arrived at his friends house, he found
Herr Won Radowitz, who had previously
taken the party to the top of the
building, to see an aurora, di.ating on
terrestrial magnetism, electricity, etc.
Radowitz asked Stockmar's friend:
"Have you seen the beautiful aurora
borealis?" He replied: Certainly; l
was there myself; it will soon be over"
An explanation followed as to the barn
on fire, Radowitx was silent some ten
minutes, then he took up his hat and
quietly disappeared.

for Soldering Rails.

Among the uses recently found for
aluminium is the soldering of iron rails
end to end in order to obtain smooth,
continuous track. Aluminium has the
property of producing great heat in
the act of combining with oxygen. The
ends of the rails are placed together
in crucible filled with a mixture of
aluminium ard iron ore. The mixture
being fired, an intense heat results,
and the rails are firmly soldered togeth-
er. This is said to be quite as efiica-
cious as the electric method Of solder

A similar game to Aunt Sally. but a
simpler one, is made by scooping a hole
in the ground and placing in it an up
right stick. On the top Of it is placed a
stone or similar substance. The player
then retires to distance and filings ut
the stone with cudgels or balls. the latter
being preferable If the stone falls into
the hole, the player only counts one to-
ward game. but if he can strike it so as
to make it fall outside the hole he
counts two. This is capital game for
the seaside and can be played upon the
sands.

THE BEAUTY ROSE.

Beauty Rose ON its enchanted throne;
With odorous breath it welcomed in the dawn,
Wills On its breast the nights sweet Jewels

Last night the moon held it in soft embrace
And. loycrlike, now hides behind yon hill.
Oh, Beauty Rose the bushes on thy face
We're born OF love and make thee loyelicr still
"oh, that such blush should perish soon." said
And then the Beauty Rose made me reply:
Think thou on this-the moon that here doth

Shines on as bright within some other sky
We change and live; make thou no heart repine.

Dwarf Trees.

To dwarf trees as the Chinese do you
must follow their methods. They take
young plant. say seeding or a cutting
of cedar when about two or three inches
high, cut off its taproot as soon as 1t
has enough other rootlets to live upon
and replant it in shallow pot or pan, al
lowing the end of the taproot to rest nm.
on the bottom of the pan. Alluvial clay
nodded to the size Of beans and Just sufH-
cient in quantity to furnish a scanty
nourshment is then put into the not.
Water, heat and light are permitted on
the same basis.
The Chinese also use various mechanic
al contrlvances to promote symmetry OF
growth. AS, owing to the shallow pots.
both top and roots are easily accessible.
the gardener uses the pruning knife and
the soaring iron freely. So that the little
tree hemmed on every side eventually
gives up the unequal struggle and, con-
tenting itself with the little life left
grows just enough to live and look well
