Maryland Clays.

A comprehensive report on the clays and
the clay industries of Maryland has been pre-
pared by the Maryland Geological Survey and
is now ready for issue. Heinrich Ries, the
leading expert on clays in the Uuited States.
wrote the report as the result of Is months Of
work in the field, the laboratory and the Office,
in corporation with biologists of the State
Survey. In 800 large octave pages it gives a
comprehensive sketch of the general clay in
dustry in all its scientific and industrial as
poets, and furnishes full account of the in
dustry in Maryland and the developments
which are possible here.
MARYLAND possesses an abundance of valu-
able clays and shales which are little known.
The present publication aims to bring them
10 public attention in form which will attract
the immediate notice of all who are interested
in the industries depending upon them. We
already rank eleventh among the 'clay states"
and seventh among the producers of pottery.
The total value of Maryland's annual output
of clay in bricks, terra Gotta, pottery and por-
ceain is Sill, $50.
The section which treats of Maryland clays
commences with general description of the
geology of the deposits. This is ampli6ed by
geological maps showing the several great clay
regions, the Cecil area, the Mount Savage
area, the deposits bordering the upper western
shore of the Chesapeake, the Potomac de-
posts, extending up to Baltimore, and the for
nations in southern Maryland. Every forma-
ton of any note is carefully set down and a
complete description of its clay is given, even
to summary of its physical properties and IFS
chemical composition when these could be
obtained. The residual clays of Washington,
Frederick, Carroll, Montgomery, Hartford,
Howard and Baltimore counties are all fully
treated il the same way. Tables showing the
resistance to heat effects exhibited by some
of the States clays, their physical tests, and
their chemical composition, together with a
directory of Maryland clay workers, close the
volume, which also includes a complete biblio-
graphy of the works containing references to
the clays of Maryland.

A third Miss Shorb married Davis and
moved to Boston, where her daughter, Miss
Davis, afterward became the wife of Patrick
Donahue, the well-known publisher of the
Boston pilot.
A fourth daughter married an Elder their
children being now among the prominent citi-
zens of Baltimore New Orleans and St. Louis
Another daughter married Crabster, another
Lostettor, seventh Fink, and an eighth
an 0rmsdorf; children and grandchildren from
all of which marriages are still living in Bal
timore and elsewhere, being all well-known in
their respective localities. The ninth daugh-
ter, Miss Harriet Shorb, became Sister Ana
Alexis, of the Sisters of Charity, and was for
years prominent in religious circles, founding
St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum at Boston,
among her other labors.
Mrs. Anna Murray, Mrs. Ella Lee, and
Mrs. Moore, all prominent in Baltimore So
ciety, are also descendants of the Shorb family
through another branch, presumably Jacob
Shorb, the brother of John; and the Rev.
Basil Shorb, formerly pastor at Gettysburg
now dead, belonged to the same family.
OF the Finks and the Sneeringers, the other
branches of the original tree according to the
family tradition, numerous descendants are to
be found in Maryland and other States. Mr..
Joseph Fink, of Baltimore, the father of Rev.
F. x. Fink the pastor of St. Aloysius' in this
city, is double relation through both his
father and his mother, whe was Miss Shorb.
The Finks are large family and prominent
socially, having relatives in Boston, New
York, and elsewhere.
1t will thus be seen that the royal family
tree which Prince Henry has promised cannot
help but be interesting to goodly number of
the Hohenzollern descendants, for traditions

Because of the recommendations o

ter the next Legislature Is Of far more
Importance than the election of n
United States Senator. which after
all concerns directly only a few poll
ticians, while the commissions find
ings have TO do with the welfare of
all the people. For one thing. each
county now tries to keep low It's as
sessments because the present system

the State works Internationally.
1t il proposed to make each county
Independent in the matter OF realty
and personal holdings. s., that II will
get nil the taxes from these. while
the State will get exclusively the IL
quor license fees, railroad and capita
ton taxes. Then the State would nat
urallv see that the railroads were as
.sessed at something near their values.
Now the railroads are assessed az
from 10 to 25 per cent. of their val
nations, while other property runs
from s to so per cent. Under the
piap proposed q county would raise
It's assessment and low err its levy or
conversely when occasion required.
