zoroastrian Beliefs.

The Zoroastrian faith acknowledges

DOM" as the supreme god, with six
archangels, Amesha Spenta, and a
company of angels, Yazata, about him
to rule and guide the world. The in.
fernal host Of nends and archfends
who war against heaven and strive to
destroy the future life Of man is led by
Anra Mainyu, the evil spirit. In dis.
cussing with these Zoroastrians the
subject Of the origin Of evil l found
that they look upon the supreme being,
Ahura Mazda, as comprising within
himself the two powers Of good and
evil-namely, Spenta Mainyu, the holy
spirit, and Anra Mainyu, the evil spir-
1t. This Is similar to the monothelstic
view held by the Parsis Of India In
opposition to the statement frequently
made that Zoroastri: nism Is pure dual
ism. They believe also in the resurrec-
ton of the dead, which their faith has
taught them since early times, and this
doctrine is connected with the belief
that there will come a saviour or mes
siah, called the Saoshyant.-A. v. VIII

A Bridge Kept In Repair by Mussel.

A Bridge Kept In Repair by Mussels.
The byssus, or silky beard, by which
the mussel moors itself to the stone, is
a familiar object of our sea rocks. 1t
Is IN its nature like the silk Of the silk
worm and exudes in a glutinous thread
from an organ at the base of the foot.
The following is an instance in which
the mooring of the mussel was useful
to effect a purpose which human skill
could not accomplish: A large bridge,
with twenty arches, in the town Of
Biddeford. in Devonshire. crosses the
Torridge river near the spot of its
junction with the Taw. The tide flows
SO very rapidly here that it was found
impossible to keep the bridge in repair
by means of mortar. The corporation
therefore keeps boats employed in
bringing mussels to it, and the inter.
stices of the bridges are filled by hand
with these mussels. 1t is supported
from being driven away by the tide
entirely by tie strong threads which
these mussels fix to the stonework. and
