TIu'hh milar ImiIiikh, Prof. Voiiiik do oliuw, IteloiiK a race of men who arc intellectual glantH, and whono utaturc Ih awninHpirliiK. They arc entirely of the hcxt there Ih in mortal mentally, physically and morally. They aie all of one nation. Har mony dwells supreme. Wars are un known ami peace in neverl Inter rupted, even hy a strike. There Ih no k'amliliiiK and therefore no graft lug. I'rof. Voung makes the start Hug announcement that on the lower portion of one of the sun spots he Iiiih discovered indisputable proofs of the presence on the orli of tire of men. This, he says, Ih n the form of two huge shafts which have the ap pearance of monuments or signalling towers. Prof. Voiiiik says these shaftH are constructed of what ap pears to lie red sandstone. They are 50,000 miles In height, the pinnacle of each shaft lielug surmounted Iiy a huge crystal, proUthly a diamond live miles in diameter, which Hashes out for thousands of miles its gleam ing rays. Colonel Dewey has aliso lately nothing to equal It In Thun der Mountain, and ho far the lowest levels of liutto liavo nothing to our pass It. Tho Indiana man of sclenco makes the further Important statement that the hiiii Ih an opaque body ami tho center of electric power, Hiirrouudod hy an absolute noti-coiidiictiro ele ment Himilar to that of tho earth's atmosphere, hut without vapor. Ho I says this great opaque body Ih Il luminated by the converging streams of electricity passing through tho at mosphere hofotre entering the body of the hiiii from the infinite void of darkness and space beyond. Tho diverging rayH of the same force, ho declares, pass through tho sun on their way out on the opposite side of the sphere into the same vast realm of infinity. Thus the incoming ami outgoing streams of electric energy meet with constant resistance of the iiDii-comluctlvo element and aro evolved In light and heat. With the perfecting ami enlarging of this wonderful instrument, tho Holarscope, I'rof. Voting declares that within a short time he will lie en abled to announce further discoveries, more startling than those he Iiiih al ready made. It Ih a pity that the news of theso great discoveries wiih not heralded In time for the Montana legislature to join with that of the I loonier state in arranging a junket. We want our share of the bla.lug gems, ami es pecially do wo want a chunk of tho diamond live miles in diameter. llutto luler-Mouutalii. Gold Mints and Millionaires. Mines and mlllonalrcs have como to be synonymous words, Ithodes, Clark, Mackay, Fair, Flood, Hearst, Daly, Alfred Kelt, the richest man in Kiiglaud, all became millionaires from mines. They were all poor men in the iH'glnnlng. Their only capi tal was their ability to see tho chance for wealth ami seize it. They knew when they had a initio and they com pelled that mine to give up H treasures. Those who had faith In their judgment lived to share their wealth. Through the force of tho millions it Iiiih created ami tho wealth it has given to the world, ami the thousands of men whoso competence Iiiih Iioou added to by tho Investment of a small amount, milling Ih coming to 1h regarded as the friend of tho comparatively poor as well as tlio great rich. A mine Ih not u pros pector's hole in tlio ground. Hut when ii good pronpoct Iiiih Imoii lo cated and the ore body Iiiih Iioou searched In every direction down ami up by tunnels, and Ih found to contain great quantities of gold, that prospect is a mine, ami such a mine means millions. Hy means of theso tunnels the gold ore in sight can lie mcnmirod as easily an a pile of lumber or a bin of wheat. National Hanker. II in want of clothing, boo Ncill Mer cantile I'onnmny.
