Cultivate and Converse Both tbs Men,
tai and the Physical.
If people realized how precious phys
ical and mental vitality are they
would not squander them by foolish
ness any more readily than they would
tap their veins and squander their life

To accomplish great things we must
have strong. vigorous life force. Il
powerful vitality. If we do not have
these everything we do will bear the
stamp of weakness. 1t will crop out
In every act. 1t is the strong vitality
that tells in the great struggle OF life.
1t is the reserve power that enables
the runner to keep going when others
fall exhausted by the way.
1t is a great art to learn to accumu-
late and conserve vitality, to store 1t
away for future emergencies. 1t Is
success capital You may succeed
without money. but you cannot sue
coed without physical and mental cap
ital. 1t is the strong vitality that wins.
The plus force, the physical and men
tai energies themselves are the things
that enable one to surmount difficulties
and ride triumphantly over obstacles.
It is very shortsighted policy to try
to crowd the brain beyond its normal
capacity, to force tired mind to do
good work, to force it to think when
1t needs rest or recreation.
Many people work SO much that they
do not store any reserve power. They
use up all the power they generate as
they go along. All creative work es-
peeially requires a fresh brain, vigor-
GUS, spontaneous thought
I have noticed that people who think
they must work every minute, who are
always doing something. do not accom-
plish nearly as much nor produce work
of as good quality as those who
labor a great deal less and play a
great deal more. In other words, their
play is a great producer because 1t
keeps the mind and body In splendid
trim for work; 1t lubricates the facul-
ties, restores balance. keeps the mind
fresh, sane and vigorous.
All effective work is result Of con-
centrated faculties. A tired and ex-
hausted brain cannot focus its ideas
with any power. 1t is not so much
question Of will power as question
Of vigorous mentality, and that is
child Of pure blood; It depends upon a

The FRIGATE PELICAN.
Il 10 Small Bird With an Enorsneu,
Stretch of Wina.

Il 10 Small Bird With an Enormous
Stretch of Wing.
The frigate pelican, or man-of.war
bird, Is usually found between the
tropics. Although when stripped Of its
feathers 1t is hardly larger than a
pigeon, yet no man can touch at the
same time the tips Of It's extended
wings. The long wing bones are ex-
ceedingly light, and the whole APP
paratus of air cells is extremely de-
veloped, SO that its real weight Is very
rifing. 1t flies at great height
above the water and from that eleva-
ton pounces down on fish, especially
preferring the poor, prosecuted flying
fish for Its prey. &
3 Under the throat of the frigate peli-
can is a large pouch Of a deep red
color, which can be distended with air
at the pleasure Of the bird. The pouch
is larger and of q more brilliant red In
the male than in his consort, and the
general plumage Of the female is not so
bright as that of the male.
Although its swiftness Of wing and
general activity enable it to snatch a
fish from the surface Of the water or
to pounce upon the flying fish before 1t
can again seek the protection Of its
native element, yet it too often uses
its powers in robbing other birds Of
their lawful prey. It Is enabled in
some mysterious way to find It's way
home by night, even though 1t may be
400 or 500 miles from land. The length
OF the male bird is three feet and the
expanse Of wing eight feet.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

The new engineering building is
practically complete and is the finest
building of its kind in the northwest.
1t is a three story brick structure
and with Its equipment cost nearly
seventy-f five thousand dollars. The
Railways, stairways Ind classrooms
are roomy, and special attention has
been paid to the ventilation. Here
tofore the engineering department has
been compelled to turn away some
students wishing engineering, but now
there is ample room for good many
years. Large numbers have enrolled
for the short course in gas and steam
engineering this winter. Prof. Rose
says he has one class containing over
sixty members and Dean Keene re-
ports over seventy enrolled for ele-
mentary physics. The engineering de.
partment is certainly to be congratu-,
lated and the taxpayers who visit this
building cannot fail to be satisfied
that their money is being used in a:
worthy cause. III

In the southeastern portion Of Cali.
fornia is great desert plain known as
the Yuha plain, which lies below the
level Of tho sea. It Is portion of the
Colorado desert, in which il depres.

$500 square miles. Some portions OF
this great sink are 285 feet below the
level Of the sea. The Yuha plain is less
than fifty feet below.
One portion Of this plain severaI
miles in extent is covered with remark.
able stones remarkable in that they
have been shaped into many curious
forms, and that independent Of the
hand Of man. The waves Of an ancient
sea which covered the region in the
prehistoric ages fashioned the stones
producing many resemblances to OBJ
jects manufactured in workshops to
day or found In nature. There are
STONE balls. varying In siza from mar
bic to cannon ball, many Of them al

the great guns Of a .man-of-war.
There are stone dinner plates as thin
as the porcelain or china found on the
tables Of our dining room and nearly
as perfect In shape. Sometimes these
are found in piles two or three feet
high, as though arranged by the hand
Of man. There are stone flowers, stone
cabbages. stone dumbbells, stone canes
stone quOits, stone boomerangs, and
even resemblances to birds and ami
mails are discovered.
The peculiar freak Of the waves In
taking up the art Of carving in this
part of the plain is accounted for by
the conformation Of the desert at this
point. When the waters of the sea oc
cupied this region they were part Of
the gulf Of California, the nearesl
point of which is now ninety miles
distant. The tides came in to this an
cient sea through the gulf from the
south. They rolled up against what Il
now known as Superstition mountain
The waters swept back against Low
range of hills on the opposite side Of
the Yuha plain and, recoiling, were
again thrown back toward the Super
stition mountain, finally passing out Al
about the point whence they entered
this arm Of the gulf. This kept The

wINGFIELD IN ROUND MOUNTAIN

Captain A. II. Mayne, president of
the Round Mountain Combination,
made a visit to the camp during the
past week. With him was William
II. Erb, secretary, and Mr. Roarick.
One of the principal members of the
party, however, was II. C. Cutler,
field man for George Wingfield, who
came over expressly to make an ex-
animation of the Com bination ground
The portion of the acreage especially
visited was that which has been ex-
posed by the hydraulic operations to
bed rock Here samples were taken
from the various seams and gashes
in the rock and assays as high as
$4,000 per ton were the result. The
screenings from the entire ground
uncovered goes away up in the values
and Ii is believed that big steam
shovels are practicable to work the
entire property and it is possible that
some such scheme will be considered
and financed. Some of the richest
auriferous soil which has been wash
ed by the hydraulic nozzles has come
from the acreage of the Combi-
nation company and 1t also adjoins
the famous Sunnyside group of claims
owned by the Round Mountain MINI

ious opposition in the field of COM
meree over which he has long held
solitary sway. \ new 100000
corporation. known as the Sterling
Borax company. has been formed and
has acquired valuable property in
Death Valley close TO those which
have yielded a fortune for Smith. Ii
was announced that while the new
company had not been organized with
the express purpose of fighting Smith,
IL was intended as a formidable rival.
The new concern comes into exist
ence in the form of a consolidation of
the American Borax company, the
Stauffer Chemical company and affili-
ated corporations. The merge in
eludes the Brighton Chemical COM
pany, which is branch OF the Ameri-
can Borax company, and the Frazier
Borate Mining company and Thomas.
Thor, Kildson and company of Chi
cago, both of which have in the past
been connected with the Stauffer
company.
At the very outset the new corpor-
alton has clashed with the Smith in
terests. both endeavoring to purchase
the Borax Properties, Limited, an
English concern. which recently took
over the Palm Borate company. The
British company has begun the cree
ton of a $4,000 plant in southern
California to treat boric acid ore.
When completed the plant will be
able to treat 100 tons of ore day.
BY its acquisition either company
would be able to add great strength
to its position.
