251 __ The Mining and Seientitic Press. “Tne Decapexcr or Baitisit ‘Uix Mixixo.— Phere is one branch of industry, connecting odern civilizat on with thut of the ancients more remarkably than any othor, which has existed in the saine spot from 4500 years before ithe birth of Christ to the present day, but now ears likely to ba laid uside—eaten out by gown industry—viz: tin mining in Cornt. Daring all this period, Cornish miners e continued working incessantly, with few none of those violent irruptivna of foreign races which huve changed the social character of most other parts of Great Dritain. Some. zrhaps. wero offered in snerifice, enclosed in wicker work idols of the ancient Britons ; e were taken to serve in the Roman legions; aud some died noiler the banners of Prince Arthur and the Knights of his Round able. ‘hey have listerwd to the teachings the Tbruids, of the Christian missionaries m Rune, of the Lutheran reformers, but heir hands have kept incessantly at work ith pick, and gad, and drill, conserving and ing the ideag of their ancestors as if endowed with a mining instinct. But “all hings have an end.” This oceupation is ut Hength to be reckonell among the things that rere. [tis being swainped by an overflow of in from the recently worked deposits at Banca, je extent whereof no one seems to know, but 6 produce of which continues to flow in, Heavine a profitto the Dutelt traders of $168 per tan when selling at $553, 2 price which Mets the Cornish miner a loss of 370 per ton! They cry aloud for protection ; but free trade has 89 long prevailed in England, thit we think they cry in vain. he Cornish tin miners’ oecupution seems then tobe gone. ‘To go vut to the Banca tin mines and compete With the Chinese and other rice-eaters who work fur 121% cents and less per day, is out of the question. Ifence there seems to be no fielp for them but discontinuing an industry which has ceased to be profitable and betaking theinselves to copper or other mining oprratiens.—Am. Journal of Mining.

The origin of the secoad (—) is rather more singular. Most persons are aware that it was formerly the universal custom, both in writing and printing, to vinit some or all of the vowels, or a syllable or two of a word, and to denote such omissions by a short dasa, thus —, over the word so abbreviated. The word minus thus became controcted to mns, with a dash over the letters. Alter a time the short line itself, without the letters, was considered sufficient to imply subtraction, and by common consent became so iosed. Hence we have now the sigus + and —.
