that the reference is to them alone.
Onyx is formed by the precipitation
of particles of lime carried from suspen-
sion in the water and combined with
carbonic acid. The other elements that
enter into the composition of the stone
are virtual impurities that were precipi-
tated along with the lime. The high
and varied colors seen in this stone
are due to the proportion of iron and
other metals it contains, and to the
degree of oxidation that these minerals
have undergone.
cat times the waters from which the
elements Of onyx were precipitated car
ried a much larger proportion of these
impurities than it did at others, and
under some conditions the process Of
oXydation was much more complete
than under others, hence the marked
and brilliant colors exhibited by some
samples, and the pure white, satin
like effect seen in other specimens. The
delicately veined appearance, the beau
tiful annular effects, the gradual shad-
ing from the intense to the softer
colors, are all due to these causes.

Special Correspondence Of the Globe.
FRANKLIN, Ind, Aug. At has
been discovered that there are in the
state of Kentucky the richest and most
extensive beds OF onyx ever known to
exist. Their value is billions of dol
lars. As soon as the working thereof
Is begun thousands of persons will be
given employment. The man through
whom the existence of this fabulous
wealth has been revealed is Prof. S. S.
Gorby, of this city, formerly state ge-
ologist of Indiana.
An idea of the richness of these beds
may be gained from the fact that in
one tract alone 100000 cubic feet of
onyx that is unsurpa ssed in texture is
Visible. The color of the stone varies
greatly and in shades hitherto I'M
known. The average value of onyx
ranges from So to SIS cubic foot, and,
as this onyx is of the superlative de-
gree a child can see its immense value
Here. for the first time, are the facts
concerning these beds laid before the
public. When ali is known, it is be-
neved the rush to the onyx beds will
be in a way something like that now
In progress to the Klondyke regions.
Up to the present time onyx beds
have been known to exist in Arizona

and all the time their shrieks and
blasphemies could be heard mingline
with the uproar of the storm.
1t had been said that Dante, as re-
vealed by 1.-THE Inferno" was a harsh
and disagreeable poet. but this was
but the false judgment of those inca
pable of appreciating him. The poem
the use of the words which by their
sound REINFORCED the sentiment of his
verse no poet had been stronger than
Dante, and this was one of the many
reasons which made satisfactory
translation of the work impossible.
Landor suffering from what might
be called judicial blunders, called
Dante cruel and infiexible; Leigh Hunt
spoke of him as the "ferocious poet"
Yet Dante, in an age OF unbridled and
savage passion, showed a heart in
which dwelt a spirit of mercy.
When we understood the meaning Of
the passages which had been criticised,
they brought no reproach to the poet
Dante did not invent hell; it's existence
was part of universal truth. 1t was
the scene of the execution of Gods
Judgment upon sinners; its punishments
were the recompense of divine justice.
The doctrine on which it was founded
was still held by the majority of Chris
tians. To our modern feeling the doc
trine was a hard one, but it brought
no blame to Dante.
The vast extent Of hell, moreover
with all it's misery, forced home on
the heart are Wretchedness of sinners
The poem presented hell as, after all,
subject to the will of man, and showed
that it was in his power to avoid it.
This was the universal lesson which
Dante taught, as true today as it was
then. Thus 1.-THE Inferno" should be
read with constant regard to it's inner
meaning, and with the recognition that
much Of it conceals within it's form
an inner truth. The mere details of
the poem were of little use unless we
could enter deeply into the spirit of
its meaning and recognize it's lofty in
struction.
In Dante imagination and moral
sympathy were always associated For
to him there was no other standard of
the useful but that of the good and
perfect. And if the function Of the
highest poetry be to console, to
! strengthen the spirit Of man amid
temptation, disappointments and dan
gers-against traitors within and enc
mics without-never was that function
more nobly fulfilled than in Dante.

But little development work has been
done on either of these tracts, but the
outcrops and the work done show a
large amount of onyx in very large
powders and a most promising pros

texture of the stone is fine, the color
intense red, variegated and white.
The Robinson tract is on the south

cat the present time two small onyx
quarrieS are worked in Arizona, one
in Arkansas, and one in Virginia. One
Of the Arizona quarries is thirty miles
and the other fifty mile from a rail
road station. They produce annually
but a few thousand cubic feet Of onyx
which is all sold at the quarries in
rough blocks and brings an average Of
$13.75 per cubic foot.
The one quarry in Arkansas is
eighteen miles from Eureka Springs,
whence it is all sawed and polished
and manufactured into small arti-
cles for household and ornament.
1.-The Virginia quarry is located in
Bottom county, near Saltpetre Can. AT
the time Of my visit the owners were
just completing a mill for the manu-
facture of the stone into articles for
which there might be the greatest
demand.
There have been many quarries
operated in Mexico nearly all of which
are practically worked out. The most
inferior Mexican onyx sells for SO per
cubic foot in the rough at the quarries
in small blocks. Good sized blocks
Of the same quality bring from $40
to SIS per cubic foot and finer grades
bring proportionately higher prices.
THE tariff on onyx at the present
is $3.50 per ton. 1t is scheduled in
the bill just passed at $15O per cubic
foot which is near $40 per ton.
