cHILDREN's ROCK MUSEUMS.
. Knowledge Of Elemental
Geology.


The late Mrs. Erminie Smith, the
distinguished geologist, suggested for
kindergarten use the formation of mt
tie rock museums in which should be
put specimens Of the leading kinds OF
stones and minerals. Her suggestion
has been acted upon by educators in
various parts of the country, but more
especially in the western and Paclfie
states, where mining Is much more
prominent than in the eastern ana
central sections of the country. The
collections are made of the common
err rocks which obtain in a neigh
borhood, says the New York Post.
A typical New York collection
owned by a teacher up town has IN II
pieces of trap from the Palisades, OF
dolomite or Westchester marble, OF
gneiss from the vicinity of Central
park, of mica schist from Harlem, OF
soapstone from Staten Island, oil
greensboro from HobOken, of bog iron
ore from Richmond, peat from Pros
pect park, and pudding stone from the
riverside of upper New YORK. In au-
dition there are samples of the more
familiar types of building material
such as Croton brick. Milwaukee
brick. Connecticut sandstone, Ohio
limestone, Quincy and Aberdeen gran
ite. Carrara marble, Vermont marble,
Ohio and New Jersey limestone, New
Jersey Divine, Vermont slate, Penn
sylvania slate, and encaustic tile, Bel
eian brick, enameled brick and spec
killed. brick. Children enjoy these col
lections and learn the names in very
short time without apparent EFFORT
Nearly all start making their own col
Iections a brief time after they have
mastered the new words and facts.
The finest collections are those
which come from Denver. They con-
tain samples of galena, fools gold'
peacock copper, silver and gold ore
plumbago, rose quartz, red zinc ore,
malachite, azurete and ruby iron.
The prettiest rocks in New York are
those found in the Franklin mines and
ouarries of New Jersey. These are
red, white, yellow, orange, gray
brown and black, and contain ores of
zinc, iron, chromium and manganese.
