Some weeks ago man living near Rapid
City brought to that place a large specimen of
some white substance to inquire into its char
acter. It was pronounced kaolin by many, but
an examination and analysis at the school of
mines proved it was not but instead was a
natural cement. 1t contains a certain percent
age Of lime, rendering 1t valueless as kaolin,
but yet 50 intimate Is the mixture Of lime and
clay that it is almost invaluable as cement. In
the manufacture OF cement great difficulty
has always been experienced in securing a
mixture sufficiently intimate between tho lime
n and clay Here It exists "a natural state, tho
components being so closely mingled as to re.
I quire IN acid bath to separate them. A small
, portion Of lime mingled mechanically with
this produces cement which sets as hard as
granite, and is to all appearances as enduring.
A company is being formed to manufacture
cement from it.
Two cases of insanity that were brought to
notice by applications for admission to the
asylum at Jamestown the past week were
rather peculiar and boil, extremely sad One
was the case Of the young lady school teacher
of Grand Forks county, whose maiden nano
was Tierney, who married a man she believed
to bo a gentleman and her equal in education
and social standing. He proved to be man
who had imposed upon the girl by his fictitious
appearance and his claims to responsibility.
The discovery that her husband was farm
hand working for daily wages, and that, more
over, he was designing to get what little prop
erty she had saved, turned the brain Of the
young lady completely, and tho day after her
marriage she was found wandering pitifully
along the streets of Grand Forks insane. On
arriving at Jamestown she exhibited the
strongest symptoms of excitement and alarm
and seemed in degree to realize the loss Of
her reason. Her constant inquiry is the proba-
bity Of her recovery. Another case Of inter-
est is that of Miss Emily Young, school
teacher of Stutsman county, and last winter
one of the brightest OF tho students in the COL
lege.

@ two rudders or tails-one to guide it up Of
