MANS PLACE IN UNivERsE.'

Alfred Russell Wallace, the author of Mans Place in the Universe, tMc- clure. Phillips & Company who. as co-discoverer with Darwin of the the ory of natural selection" ought to be a thorough materiallst, is quite clh- erwise. He is a strong believer in spiritualism. and has widely champion ed spiritualism as teaching valuable moral lessons and leading to mIrai and spiritual improvement when rightly followed out He says, Some slight inexplicable phenomena in friends family first aroused my curi- osity The facts becoming more as sured, came to believe in the exist ence of preterhuman intelligencies. that. though invisible and intangible, can and do act in matter and inform our mind. The cardinal maxium of spirituahsm, however, is that everyone must find out the truth for himself. II makes no claim to be received on heresay evidence. but on the other hand it demands that it be not re- iected without patient. honest and fearless inquiry"

On October 22. 1903. the President appointed a commission on the pub lie lands. consisting of W. A Richards. Commissioner of the General Land Office; F. F. Newell, chief engineer of the Unites States Geological Survey, and Clifford Pinchot. chief of the Bu- reau of Forestry. with the following duties:
 ITO report upon the condition. oper- alton and effect Of the present land laws and on the use, condition. dis posal and settlement of the public lands and especially what changes in organization, laws. regula- lions and practice affecting public lands are needed, first, to effect the largest practicable disposition of the public lands to actual settlers who will build permanent homes upon them; second, to secure in permanence the fullest and nose effective use of the resources Of the public lands: and II will make such other reports and recommendations as its study of these questions may suggest"
 TlQlS udS tddN a partial report, dealing chiefly with the Timber and Stone Act. the sale of timber on the public Ian A.. and other forest matters. Other topics of great importance are yet 10 be con sidered. The commission is now ready 10 take up. as one of the weightlest among them, the intricate and difficult question of the mineral land laws. l. would, therefore. welcome cooperation and advice from all com peteat persons, and in particular specific criticism of existing law and practice, and the suggestion of specihc remedies. While the nature Of the subject is likely to delay the compile ton of a final report, the commission is desirous to make progress in con- sidering it during the coming summer.
 The foregoing statement embodies the substance of communication re7 ceived by me, as secretary of the American Institute of Mining Engi- neers, from MT. Clifford Pinchot, "a member of the Institute, chief of the United States Bureau of Forestry. and secretary of the commission to which it refers.
 The rules of the Institute do not permit its oficial participation in such an inquiry. Papers expressing the views of individuals on the United States mining laws, especially as di- rectly connected with the nature and form of the mineral deposits on the public lands, have been accepted and published in the transactio.s from time to time But it would De publish. and discuss at the ofrinm ;t-l physically impossible to receive, di- gest. publish, and discuss at Institute meetings all suggestions which. migh: be offered with regard to the admin istrative details of the Unite States re vised statutes concerning the mineral lands.
