GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
To Show MaryIano's Great Natural
Wealth the Object of the Under
TAKING

10 snow Maryland'S Great Natural
Wealth the Object of the Under
taking.
A plan is on foot to max geolog-
zeal survey of Maryland, the work
to be done under the superinten-
dence of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity geological department, of
Baltimore, of which department
Prof. William Bullock Clark is
head.
The primary object of the survey
as proposed is to establish the line
Of the mari beds, clay, coal, stone
and other deposits in the State with
the view of assisting their develop
ment.
Maryland's mineral resources
have been the subject of expert in
vestigation in foremost years. The
first report of such survey was
published by Professor Ducatel be-
tween 1888 and 1915. The last sur
vey was madein 1862 and its results
are embodied in report made by
Mr.. Philip P. Tyson.
1t is claimed that with more mod
ern methods Of making a survey
more detailed results may be OBJ
tanned, these results to be at the
dlsposalof capitalists, agriculturists
and others to whom they will prove
valuable. But the chief object
which, it is hoped, will be gained
will be the location Of mari beds.
by the judicious use of which it is
expected that much Of the play out
soil of the State may be reiuyenated.
New Jersey and other States have
resorted to the use Of mari to build
up broken. down land, and, it is
said, with gratifying results.
Professor Clark is not prepared to
say exactly what amount the State
should appropriate for the survey
but he thinks $1,000 would possibly
be sufficient. Pennsylvania spent
$1,000; California, 800, 1000; Ar
kansas, $40, 900, and North Carolina
$40, 900, last year for geological
surveys of these respective states.

one month and twenty days. He
WAS married to Margaret E. Shank

twenty-eight years ago; continued
to be a faithful christian, and at
the time of his death was teacher
in the Sunday school. Being
reared in christian home, and
married q christian woman, the

as a natural result 1t was home of
true devotion to Almighty God.
He was afflicted for many years,
