The Commissioner Of the General Land
Office has received from the National Chem.
ical Works, In Pennsylvania, specimens Of
cryolite associated with pachuolite, iron
pyrites, spathlc Iron and galena. The min
eral cryollto was discovered In 1926 by
Gicsecke, at Arksutford, In West Greenland,
where 1t occurs In veins Of gneiss. Accord
Ing to Bishop, 1t Is one Of those secondary
fuorides, from which 1t is probable that 1t
originated from decomposed gllmmer. For
It's properties, vils Dana's Mineralogy.
Cyollte some years ago was employed In
the manufacture Of aluminium however, It
has been abandoned for this purpose. 1t Is
now chiefly employed for the manufacture
Of caustic, carbonate, illuminate, and bicar-
Donate Of soda and sulphate Of alumina.
For the production OF carbonate Of soda,
cryolite Is weated in the dry, but for the pro-
duction Of caustic soda in the wet way.
Both processes are carried on to large er.
tent by the Pennsylvania Salt Mauufactur-
Ing Company In Natrona, the Allegheny
river.
In fusing the cryollte together with GER
tain proportion of silica, 1t forms what Is
called the "hot cast porcelain" product re-

respectful criticism as truth and Justice de-

say In this respect, ii is simply what is due
TO the honor Of our party and to Its perma-
nent success. For We do not believe this can
be insured by such departures from princi-
ple and consistency as that to which we have
referred. Hence IL becomes the duty Of q
faithful friend TO Republican rule and Re-
publican supremacy to frown upon, and, as
far as may DO, correct these out-eropplugs Of
contrariety.

United States rs shakists. Ague is looked
upon as necessary consequence, and the
philosophical Buckeyes growl not when i,

taste of anything is quinine. and then
some qninne, and shortly afterwards, n
