REPORT ON MINING IN
 THE TOLOVANA DISTRICT

-
 During 1914 and 1915 hundreds ot people attracted by the reported find ing of gold in the headwater region O. Tolovana River. in Central Alaska, rushed into the district. and systc- matic mining began there during the summer of 1915. Although consid- erable prospecting was done only a bout ten mines were commercially productive, but these made gold out put to the value of $8O,OOO. Gold bearing gravels appear in the beds of the present streams, in buried chan nels and bench gravels, but most of the gold has been won from the deep channels on Livingood creek. which have proved to be far richer than either the stream or the bench plac- CTS. Some shallow placers have al- SO yielded gold, notably on Olive Creek. but only prospects have been found in the benches.
 A report by A. Fl. Brooks, entitled Preliminary Report on the Tolovana District. Alaska" has been issued :e- gently by the United States Geologi- cal Survey. Department of the Inter- for, as Bulletin 642-G, in which the facts known about this new district are stated, and the general relations are illustrated by map.

LANGUAGE AND THE BIBLE.
The Book That Standardized All the
 Dialects of Britain.

Dialects of Britain.
 Before the printing of the Bible there was no English language. It was the Bible that standardized all the dia- lects of Britain and that bound them together into living speech, and 1t was the Bible that was the foundation of the education and culture of Eng land. As the English historian Green says. 'The English people became a people of . book. and that book was the Bible"
 To a large degree the same is true of Germany. but 1t is not necessary to go back to the middle ages to find the Bible forming a nations culture and fixing its language.
 On many of the mission fields, espe. cially in Africa, the language of the natives had never been reduced to writ ing until the missionary provided them with an alphabet in order that the Bible might be translated into their tongues. The Bible has then become both the language textbook and the spiritual guide of these African na- tions. Tn mission schools the world over the Bible Is the language text book. The people of the mission lands want their children to learn the west. ern tongue, and they send them to the school. They learn the missionary's language, but in the learning they find the missionary's God.-Christian Her

EGGS IN HEATED RICE.
4 Way the Chinese Have For Matching
 Ducks and Chickens.

A Way the chInsss Have For Matching
 Dueks and Chickens.
 The Chinese method of matching as many as 5OO duck and chicken eggs in one sitting has not yet been adopted In this country.
 Unhusked rice is used for the pur- pose, and when this has been roasted 1t is either cooled by flaming process or the wind Is allowed to blow through 1t until it is lukewarm.
 The breeder then sprinkles @ three inch layer of rice in the bottom of a wooden tub, and on this surface places about 100 eggs; another layer of rice about two inches thick is spread over them. md on this layer eggs are also placed. and the tub Is filled in this way until there are six layers of rice and i've of eggs. making 600 eggs in all in the tub.
 Every twenty-fOur hours the rice has to be heated. and for this purL ose the eggs have to be removed, the bottom layer this time being placed on top and tEe other layers one row lower down. the eggs that occupied the central po' Sition in the tub now being placed at the edges.
 There is some difficulty in gauging the exact time at which the eggs will hatch. and unless care is taken some of the young ones are likely to be smothered. This is, of course, the point at which fhe ability of the eXDert fa shown.-St. Louis Post Dispatch
