A new Mineral OF creat lvaIuo,

Among the scientific papers read at
a recent meeting OF the Royal society
in London was one by Professor Dun-
stan and G. /. Blake, which, according
to the London Standard, described a
mineral lately found in Ceylon which
possesses radio active properties. Its
crystals are more or less cubical in
shape. black rather lighter than sill
yer and about hard as rock crystal.
As the mineral, called thorianite, con-
tains so per cent of thorium oxide, It
has considerable commercial value.
The remainder is chiefly uranium OK
ide, with a little Of two other rare
earths and lead. Thorianite is helium
radio active and when dissolved
evolves helium. into which one Of the
emanatiOns from radium, now almost
priceless, has been proved to change,
so its presence may be significant.

ARCHITECTURE.
t'1c Primitive Abodes
Tribca.

l'- -'-'~ tnc Primitive Abodes
Trbca.
The p ahodcs of early
tribes have icit ;sc.r impress upon
the architecture of more cultured
times, for various features Of the
most elaborate buildings are pre-
saged in the rudest structures. The
dome is seen in mound dwellings,
and in the Eskimo's snow hut, slop-
ing roofs, in tent flies, many storied
masonry, in the elevated chambers
of cliff dwellers, pillars in natural
rock supports in caves, towers in
treetop lookouts, spires in tent
poles
An arbor formed by intertwining
the branches of adjacent trees would
in time be elaborated by the addi-
ton of branches severed from other
trees and of stakes to help support
this augmented roof. Thus would
be developed eventually inclosed
huts with roofs of thatch, and these
by gradual stages would give place
to cabins and framed houses.
Similarly a wigwam develops into
a tent, and this by the substitution
of more substantial material be-
comes a permanent building.
Cave dwellers naturally enlarge OF
multiply their abodes by excavating
chambers in the mountains. This
leads to the use Of piers or pillars as
need requires to support the roof,
and masonry is a logical sequence.
From an unhewn stone, set up to
mark a burial place or to commem-
crate some event, a polished monu-
ment is gradually evolved, and a
modification of a mere stone heap
or cairn, results in a pyramid OF
other symmetrical tomb.
A tree trunk fallen across a
stream or stepping stones through il
were the forerunners of modern
bridge architecture.

The Lana OF June.

Now the ships are coming homeward In
the days end.
And the sunset sheen IS red upon their
sails
As they swiftly dip and nn, while the
scuppers flush and spill
And the angry foam is scattered on the
rails.
They are laden with the eargoes OF the
winter
Gold. and silver. sillSen tapestries Of
worth
Hor tho pleasant land OF June and her
shining silver moon
They have brought the fairest treasures
OF the earth.
They shall anchor in her harbors OF de-
sire.
And their weary crews shall land upon
her soil:
They shall take their well earned rest at
the ending OF the quest
Cry a truce TO all the sullen days OF
toll.
They shall give as wen. with all the Joy
OF giving.
OF their bounty to the country OF their
birth.
For the pleasant land OF June and her
shining silver moon
They have brought the fairest treasures
OF the earth

The Marquis of Waterford once
showed remarkable detective skill.
A robber who had broken into the
marquis house at Curraghmore, Ire
land, was pursued by him and fol-
lowed to a public house four miles
off.
There the robber had seated him
self among a number of men, who
were drinking and smoking, and not
one of them would betray him. The
marquis, however, was master Of the
situation.
He insisted upon feeling all their
hearts, and as he was their landlord
and the great man of the county not
one dared to refuse. The man whose
heart was still beating quickly was
the robber who had just ceased run

PrOIOngIng the Prime OF Life.

Professor Metchuikotf, Chief Of Re
search q; the Pasteur Institute of Paris
amt one OF the most eminent biologists
Of the day has reached the astonishing
conclusion that the span Of human life
may be largely incrsased.
In the September McClures, A. +.
McFarlane describes in a paper which is
the outcome of series Of interviews
with Professor Metchnikoff, the dis
coyeria- and investigations which give
warrant for the scientists belief
Professor Metchnikolf = latest investi-
cations have shown that old age ~ we
know it is practically II disease, Just as
tangible and comparable Us any other
human i'll and one against which the
body should be- able to arm itself with
weapons ~ effective Us those which
science raises against bubonic plague or
diphtheria.
The discovery Of the pathological
nature Of old age is the outcome Of
Meichuikolf 4 discovery, some years ago,
Of the function of the phagocytes white
corpuscIc4 Of the blood whose activity
in attacking and devouring the hostile
microbes that enter the system is the
measure Of our immunity from disease
In observing these microscopic watch
dogs Of the blood the astonishing dis
covcry was made that certain diseases,
notably the "atrophies, not only We're
not combated 10y the phagocytes, but
were actually caused by them. It WAS
srcn that certain physical conditions
cause u perversion Of the activities of the
mncrophages "a variety of phagocytc)
which then turn their attacks upon the
body itself and devour its cells rs vora-
clou4ly ~ under normal conditions they
destroy fur,ign microbes. From this
dl.Covriy ii was but II step TO recognize
the analogy between these Phenomena
ANA the state called "old age which is
nothing more than compound atrOphy.
So far the most positive results OBJ
tanned have been reached along lines of
prevention rather than of cure. one Of
