Bishop Has Relapse.

Baltimore, Md, March 20. - Bishop Alpheus w. Wilson of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, who has been seriously i'll since last Sunday night, had a slight relapse early this morn ing and his condition is regarded as less favorable than yesterday morning.
 His present illness, which be- gan with a severe series of chills, has developed into erysip- elas. This first affected his left foot and has been gradually spreading.
 Bishop E. E. Hoss of Nash vile arrived here today after hearing of the serious condition of Bishop Wilson. He paid the aged prelate visit this after noon and, according to Bishop Hoss' statement, found him very ill man.
 Bishop Wilson was to have presided over the Baltimore con- ference of the M. E. church. South, which convened here Wednesday, but he will be un- able to attend.

Some forty years ago considerable
copper was mined and shipped out of
San Fernando In the southern part Of
Lower California. but since then not
much has been done with this metal.
The principal difficulties in the way of
the profitable mining of copper are
fuel and transportation facilities. Iron
deposits have been found at several
places. the principal one being at San
Isidro, but no active work has ever
been done.

Danger Of Knowing Too Much.

Let us remember, advises a medical
magazine, that a brain crammed with
n multitude of useless facts may show
up brilliantly on an examination, but
be so clogged as to be unable o put
the knowledge to practical use. We
know we are raising the pedagogue's
ire by thus stating that there is such
a thing as too much knowledge. but as
a fact the worlds work is being done
by specialists who are densely ignor-
ant of everything outside their respec-
tive, narrow spheres-and of many
things inside, too.
