MICA MINES or INDIA.
The Methods Of Hundreds Of Years
Ago Still In Use.

The Methods Of Hundreds Of Years
Ago Still In Use.
The mica mines Of India are in tho
interior Of the country and very inaccess-
ible. The Abruker mine, it is stated,
produces the finest mica that has ever
been mined, bott for lamination and
color. It has been sunk about 200 feet,
following the pitch Of the vein, and all
this mica and refuse have been raised
and carried away by the natives. No
machinery Of any kind except drill and
hammers Is used in their mining opera
tions.
The refuse and. the mica are placed
In baskets each holding ten pounds, the
baskets being passed up from hand to
hand by women, who stand in line on
ladders. The contents Of the baskets are
deposited at the top, and the baskets are
returned down the ladder in the same
manner as they went up, but by anoth-
er line Of women. Water is taken out
Of the mines by means Of jugs. It is
supposed that this method Of operation
has been carried on for many hundreds
VI years, 0ACopt tuat IuoC0 - mOIS C1Io
to protect the miners.
After the crude mica is taken from
the mines it is first roughly trimmed
and then sorted into different grades,
according to sizes and quality. It is
then taken to the mica workers, who
split it up and scribe out the size for it
to be cut into by the shearers, the cut
pieces then being cleaned, weighed and
packed ready for shipment. The mica
is then transported to general ware
houses in baskets on the backs Of bull.
locks and in bullock carts. In this way
it is carried hundreds of miles to ship
ping points at speed of about ten
miles day.
The mica can be split down to .O0O3
Of an inch in thickness. Being both
fireproof and transparent, it is very USE
full for many purposes in the arts. be-
sides being an excellent lnsulator.-

A London Ocu1ist Asserts That There

To speak of color blind artist sounds
like joking, said noted ooulist; but,
strange as it seems, there are several
persons go affected who can nevertheless
paint extremely we'll. Numbers Of color
blind people there are, of course, who
draw perfectly In pencil, ink and cray

though "color blind" paints all it's
scenery, and has quite local name,
not only for his interiors" and oak
chambers, but even for landscapes.
can tell you also Of two London Ia
dies who consulted me for color blind
ness who paint really beautiful pictures.
One is the daughter Of late famous
artist and was taught painting by her
father. She is quite unable to distin-
guish red from green, but her colors are
all labeled with the names, and she
has been taught which to use for GER
tain effects. Possibly her painting may
seem to her eyes, as it were, drawing

The other is a lady artist of some
celebrity, who has for years exhibited
annually in London. The public is not
aware that she is color blind. She
painted the wedding Group" for a
certain noble bridegroom year or two
ago and also several public mem por-
traits and one Of an eminent physician
fetched 500 guineas.
There is a gentleman residing at
Kensington who, having years ago left
the navy through finding his advance

blindness, is at present making several
