It has long been assumed that Of

the andesites are unquestionably the
older rocks, since the eurlte on its con-
tact with them incloses fragments torn

porphyritic crystals Of pink orthoclase,
while the andeslte is normally devoid
Of them. Near its contact with the
former rock, however, crystals exactly
like those In the eurite are occasional
~ found in the andesite. Crystals of
quartz and feldspar have also often
been floated from the eurite into the
detached fragments Of the andesite.
The invading rock has melted the

A report to tho British Board Of
Trade BY Miss Collet on the Stats
tics Of employment Of women ana girls
has Just been Issued asa parilapen-
tary paper. It shows. among other
things, that only q slight increase IN
the employment Of women has taken
place In the interval between the cen.
sus Of 1881 and that Of 1891 the total
number Of women and girls returned
- occupied at the former date, out Of
every 1000 above 10 years Of age. in
England and Wales, being 34O.5 In
1881. 40 against 344.2 in 1891. The
number Of males returned AZ occupied
shows . decrease Of per 1000. A
further fact pointed out IL that, not
withstanding the large number Of
headings Of occupations In the census
report-349 in all-more than four
AfthS Of the women and girls returned
~ occupied In 1s91-that ID, 277 out
Of every 1000 over the age Of 10 are
included under eighteen headings. A
emarkable increase In the employment
Of children under Is years Of age 10
noted, but on the other hand, the sta
tistlcs concerning women employed in
textile and clothing trades show that
In the towns most affected by married
women's labor the percentage Of mar
ried women employed 10 diminishing.
There is more especially marked d.
minuation In the factory districts In
the proportion Of married women be-
tween 20 and 25. Notwithstanding
this diminution, however, in married
women's labor, Miss Collet thinks that
the minimum percentage 10 still ex-
tremely high. Blackburn, Burnley,
Preston, Stockport, Rockdale and
Bury occupy, 1t seems, I'M exception
ally bad position in this respect, and
Miss Collet says Of them: I'm such
towns where nearly all the girls under
20. and half the women between 20
and IS, are engaged away from home,
We may naturally look for a high in
FAINT mortality, and expectation is jus
