 Help us ere we fall To Thy Heart we fly,
 Saviour of us all! O kill the serpent. Doubt, Shine upon our sightl Deep darkness all about
 Hides our guiding light. So far Thy love seems
 That our blinded eyes Sec Thee as in dreams
 Hidden in the slkies This place of graves, this sod, Is far beneath the sun, Where we. O mighty God, Like little insects runi Great and high Thou art, Splendid and sublime, Yet Thou hast the heart
 Of Thy childhood's time. Thy heart is ours, O ChIIdl Thy heart, O Man, is mine! From Mary. loving. mild.
 A woman's heart Is Thine, Canst Thou turn away?
 Heart of Thee are we, Thy poor lambs astray.
 Brothers unto Thee! In darkness-oh. how dark!
 In sadness-oh. how sad! We bear the shepherds mark, Thy love shall make us glad. Yet Thou art so far
 From our longing eyes, (To what distant star
 Did Thy glories riseD Thy Heart we still must claim; Though evil powers crowd, It is. in sin and shame,
 The pillar and the cloud. Darkness all around
 Hides Thy guiding star; Heal our grievous wound.
 Heart, how weak we are! O save us ere we die,
 Help ts ere we fall- Heart. to Thee we fly,
 O Saviour of us all! Maurice Francis Egan, in Ave Maria.

The Art OF breathing.

Physicians have cured aggravated

ular breaths: fever stricken patients
have been Quleted. stubborn forms of
Indigestion made to disappear. a tend
ency to consumption may be overcome,
as some authority has within the past
few years clearly demonstrated, by
exercise in breathing. Seaslckness, too,
may be surnountcd and the victim OF
hypnotic influence taught to withstand
the force of an energy directed against
him.
There is famous physician OF
Munich who has written an extensive
work upon the subject OF breathing.
He has. besides. formulated n system
by which asthmatlc patients are made
to walk without losing breath, while
sufferers from weaknesses OF the heart
are cured. Al Meran, in the Austrian
Tyroi, his patients are put through d
certain system OF breathing and walk

being in time together. AS the cure
progresses the ascents are made steeper

Queer serie. of Accidents.

George White. who for many years
has been in the employ of leading
publishing firm in London, has suffered
from a remarkable series OF accidents.
On April ii, 1876. he fell over q pole
and broke his right arm. Exactly a
year afterward he broke his left leg.
On April IA, 1877, he fell from a plat
form and smashed his wrist and was
obliged to have his arm amputated in
consequence. On April IA, 1887, he os-
capped, but his wife had a serious acct
dent. On April IA, 1880, he slipped and
broke three ribs. Then his employers
told him to take that day as holiday,
but in 1901 he dreamed of a coming
accident so the manager advised him
to go to work on April IA and dispel
the superstition. He went and fell
down stairs and broke his remaining
arm. For all that. he is well known
athlete and swimmer.

MINpANAo's DEATH VALLEY
A Large Depression Projected by n
Covering of Poisonous Mist.

A Large Depression Protected by N
Covering OF Poisosssus Mist.
A. c. Carpenter OF Chicago, who ro-
Gently returned from the Philippine Is
lands, is In Denver. For three years
plored and uncivilized parts of the is
lands examining into the mineral pos
sibilities of the country. During his
visit to the islands he represented a
Chicago company, TO which he has but
recently made a report Of his observa-
tons In the newly acquired territory.
OF all the unparalleled things which
he saw Mr.. Carpenter says that tho
much talked of Valley of Death in the
island of Mindanao is the most won
derful and mysterious.
THE famous valley" he says, sis
far inland in this large island. The
interior OF the island Is covered with
mountains, and there are many indica-
tons of volcanic eruptiens. After one
range of mountains is crossed there is
n deep descent. This is the edge of
the valley. 1t looks like the rim of a
great crater, but ii is too large for
that 1t is surrounded by high noun
tains and covers many square miles.
"When crossing the mountains, the
traveller sees n heavy mist, similar to
n fog, hanging over the land beneath
him. The mist is heavier and darker
than the most dense fog. and it has
never been known to clear away. AS
my party of five went down the noun
tain side we felt that we were ap-
preaching that mist.
1.-THE air that we breathed was heavy

above had upon us. AS l was not out

have failed and have been forced to

only been rescued by their cop1pan-
ions, whose lungs were not so quickly

80 far as / can understand, l be-
lieve that there must be some volcanic

from this is constantly pouring forth

is the explanation of the mist which

disagreeable feature is that which ac-
companies the gradual loss of the fac
ulties, resulting in n sensation of night

gradually applied, about five minutes
being occupied in reaching the maxi

PLAT!NuM PLATE.

One hnd OF valuable plate quite
abundant'in New York is seldom stolen
by burglars. though the metal OF
which il is made far exceeds silver in
cost. Every college chemical labora-
tory and scores Of factory laboratories
nave costly vessels made of platinum.
The plain metal is usually worth about
its weight in gold. and made up into
cruciblcs ana other vessels used I'm
laboratories it is much more valuable
than in its ordinary form. The MAX
ers OF such ware, in fact. must earn
large profits. for their charges are high,
although the metal is made into the
simplest forms, without decorations of
any sort. y tiny erucible holding per-
maps only gill is worth IS or $40. and
some of the larger vessels used by
chemists are worth several hundred
dollars each.
The value of these vessels is so great
that they are locked up every night
in safe in any well conducted chem
zeal laboratory and frequently counted.
Damaged vessels, and even the small
est scraps of platinum wire, are care
fully treasured and sent TO the factory
from time to time in order to be made
over into new vessels. A chemist has
somewhat the same feeling toward his
platinum plate that houSekeeper has
toward her solid silver, but the chem
lists plate is worth far more than any
1ol.n al.
yerware. 1t is also much more liable
to damage.
The presence of a small quantity of
lead in hot crucible of platinum is
likely to bring about puncture of the
crucible. A punctured crucible must
so to the factory, and repairs are very
costly. Much of such ware used here
is made in little Pennsylvania town
by single firm, and there are few
workmen who understand the art of
handling platinum.
Treated with care, platinum vessels
are almost indestructible. They seem
TO suffer nothing from the high tenn.
peratures TO which they are exposed in
the laboratory, and however long In
use brisk rubbing renders them as
beautifully bright as on tho day when
they came from the factory. They are
ordinarily cleaned, however, by the ap-
plication of hot water and acid solu-
tons, as they gradually lose in weight
by rubbing.
One reason why platinum imple-
ments are seldom stolen by burglars
lies in the fact that they are not easily
disposed of. The metal Is hard to
melt, and large vessel is not easily
hammered out of recognition. Pawn
brokers are shy of accepting articles of
platinum because such articles, having
comparatively narrow use, are not
hard to trace. Small crucibles and plat,
| mum wire and rods do occasionally
disappear from laboratories, but the
larger articles are rarely stolen. When

The Calumet aud Hecla copper mine,
described by Samuel Il. Nofrett i'm Cos
mopolitan. has been the most profitable
single mine OF any sort I'm the world.
Its stock has sold ut six or seven times
the price OF Standard Oil. 1t has paid
dividends of $10.OOO,O00 I'm single year
on nominal capital of $2,500,000. OF
which only 81 100000 was ever paid In
"a rate OF 400 per cent on the par
value or S33 per cent on the cash in
vcstment. 1t has paid over SS6.00o,00c
in dividends i'm thirty years.
The Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet
and llecla is the deepest shaft in the
world-4,900 feet i'm vertical depth, or
almost mile. IL goes over 1900 feet
below the level of the sea.
The owners of this mine have been
especially lucky In not encountering
any great masses If pure copper. A
neighboring mine was almost bank
rupted by striking chunk OF fine
metal weighing GOO or 700 tons. 1t
was worth about 100000, but it could
neither be dug nor blasted and had to
DE cut away with cold chisels.
The Indians of the Lake Superior
region knew about its copper deposits
for hundreds of years and used to
worship the nuggets as either gods
themselves or the treasures of gods.
