THE theory is now advanced that
Aseutney mountain, at Windsor, Conn.,.
was a volcano. Recent analysis of the
green granite from the mountain shows
that il is not really granite, as it CON
tains no mica. but a different mineral.
SO that the stone is more valuable than
granite. Ii is said to be absolutely inn
perishabIe. as il contains none of the
natural elements which cause stone TO
decay. The stone has at some time
been subjected to intense heat, which
has driven out all the metals and made
