to the depth of about 100 feet; small

+ the moon had never been born,
Prof. W. Ii. Pickering points out,
the highest Intelligence on the earth
would not have advanced much
beyond that OF the present deep sea
fishes. AS the original earth nebuIa
condensed, the lighter materials were
distributed quite uniformly over the
entire surface, but these are now
missing from one hemisphere, the
reason seeming to be, as Prof. Il. Ii.
Darwin demonstrated IN 1879, that n
portion of the earth's crust has been
thrown off by tidal action. forming
the moon. The surface density OF
the present continents is abGut 81
the mean density of the moon appear
ing to be "a, or net far from that
of the missing continents to the
depth reached. The moon, it is COM
puted, equals a mass having the sur
face area of the teri estrial oceans and
depth of 36 miles, Faud it is con.
cluded that the crust, when 36 miles
thick, must have been torn away over
three -fourths of the earth, the re-
mainder breaking apart to form the
Eastern and Western continents, with
Australia and other islands. These
continental and island fragments
tloated like great ice foes on liquid
materials of density of 81 or more.
This great rupture gave the earth's
surface its chief Irregularities, with
mean difference of three miles
between the levels of the continental
plateaus and the ocean beds, and as
the water condensed in the cooling
depresslons, with the Pacific where
most of the NJ oon had been. the dry
land was formed that has made
human life possible. We may con-
slider that without this change the
earth would be now in the condition
of Venus, with water over its whole
surface.
Natural silk is soon to be entirely
replaced by wood pulp, as maddel
and indigo have been supplanted by
artificial products, in the opinion oi
the German Association of Chemical
Industry. new Belgian silk, that
of DR.. Thiele, is among the latest
advances. In this a thread of 40 fila
ments is substituted for that Of or 9
in natural silk, and the thread is less
tubular, more plant and of better
covering power than artificial silk,
with fewer strands. This process, like
some others, is adapted for making
artificial hoTsehair.

To the Producers of Mineral
Substances in California

Gentlemen The law makes it a
Fart of the duty of the state minera-
logist to ascertain annually tie
amount and the value OF each of the
mineral productions of California,
and in order 10 do this 1t is necessary
to nave complete and correct list of
ali persons ana companies owning or
operating mines, quarries, oil wells,
etc. The object cf this is to send out
inquiries in order to ascel tain from
the replies the amount and value of
the product of the respective pro-
perties each year.
These replies are never published,
exhibited to anyone, OF made public
in any way. The figures submitted
are used only in making up totals of
the different substances In the various
counties of the state. The bureau
realizes | erfectly that oaners of pro-
perties do not care to have any one in
their line of business, or any other,
know exactly what their output or its
value may be. For this reason every
care Is taken that such matters will
be kept entirely secret. 1t is necess-
ary, however, to obtain separate ln-
dividual returns III order to make up
the totals. For this reason, every one
receiving one of the blanks of inquiry
is earnestly urged to fill it out and
return it at once to this bureau, Civ
ing amount and value of product for
the year, and any change OF address.
The annual statistical tables of
mineral production by the Stnte
Miuing Bureau have long been re-
and correct of those published in any
state cr union They are useful to
the general public, but even more so
to the producers of mineral sub
stances, who may thus learn exactly
the condition of their special branch
each year, the total amount produced
and its value. If each producer will
assist the State Mineralogist by pro-
mptly replying to inquiries, much
labor and time may be saved. The
matter is really one of mutual benefit,
the object of the Mining Bureau
being to promote the mining industry
of the state in every way. One OF the
ways Is to keep a correct account of
what the miners are doing and how
much wealth they are adding to the
world each year. Without some show
ing of this kind, from official sources,
the press and general public will have
only a vague idea of what the miners
of the state are accomplishing. 1t
the miners themselves will furnish
the details OF their own operations,
the State Mining Bureau will do the
work of preparing and pu ublishing the
matter in a form convenient fer
reference, which will show to any one
at glance the progress andlcC n lition
yearly of the different branches of the
mining indstry of California.

1t seemed, an angel sent from Heaven
Hover ed DER a garden fair,
Sent to find q pure white lily
Budding 'mong the tlowers there.
Softly stepping DER the MOSES
No one heard the light football,
Seeking 'mong the vines ana grasses,
No one heard the tender. call.
But the angel sought the shadow
Where a sunbeam slanted low,
And smiling, found our sheltered
flower;
We could not keep it SO.
We could not hear the rustic
OF the upward sweep of wings,
But we saw ouI darling taken

Somewhere in that far sweet Heaven,
Somewhere in the blue above,
She will live and bloom forever
Close in Gods eternal love.
