IMMENSE PROFIT
FROM MINING PHOSPHATE
LANDS THE SECOND
TIME.
Profits Realized From Opera
ting Screens and Washers.

The fact that there has been. since
Mt. Pleasant territory. great deal OF
waste of valuable rock in mining opera
lions, has recently been brought forcibly
TO the minds OF those operating in this
field. The Blue Grass Phosphate Co.,
which is one of the largest concerns in
Mt. Pleasant, has just completed y
large washing and drying plant, and
this company is now making most val.
liable thing Of it by the handling Of the
rock and dirt which was throwD back
in the original mining operations some
years ago. The dirt and rock from these
large banks is loaded Oh tram care with
steam shovels and carried direct to the
washer. It lie stated that from three
hundred tons OF mixed rock and dirt ut
least one hundred tons Of high grade
rock lie realized. The total cost OF this
rock to the company after handling Il
through the washer and drying It for
market, including also the loading on
board 9 .rp. IL about $l.l6 per ton. For
1t the company receives about s. 20 per
ton, showing profit Of 81. 10 per ton.
The above statement, which 10 thor

In view Of this fact, that person who
fears that the mining of rock here will
cease within a year or tvs. may now
change his calculations, for it will re-
quire years upon years 70 wash all the
phosphate dirt in Maufy county.

PHOSPHATE
PRODUCTION

DR.. Edmund Otis Hovey, OF the Uni.
ted States Geological Survey, in re-
port recently published on the produc-
ton of phosphate rock 10 1904, says:
"More rock was mined than ever before,
and better prices were obtained than
have been reported since 1893 Many
farmers report production and sales du-
ring 1904, bat the buik Of the business
was carried on by comparatively small

Tennessee showed in 1904 the largest

the industry. eleven years ago. The
marketed production Of the State for
1904 was 530,57l long tons, valued st

chleaao's New School idea.

Ghieaso's New School Idea.
A radical reorganization Of the public
school system of Chicago has recently
been advocated by DR.. Cornelia Debey.
It's basis is the actual participation by
the whole teaching force. Another wo-
man member Of the board, Mrs.
Keough, opposes the project on the
ground that it seeks to establish and
perpetuate a teachers oligarchy. The
plan is favored by the Teachers feder-
alton, headed by Margaret Haley.
knowledge Like Baled Hay.
The recent address Of DR.. G. Stanley
HAIL. president of Clarke university, to
the students of Columbia has caused
wide and favorable comment, especial
~ the part in which he declared that
the tendency is to standardize knowl-
edge so that it is like baled hay. He
said the high school should be the peo-
pies college and that the universities
should take in students without en-
trance examinations. They should be
open to every one who can profit by the
privilege, and DIR. Hall thinks that a
man who has read the Bible in English
is equipped for college. He would
bring back into the college the culture
studies and religion stripped of the
dogmas Of ages"
Sight by Means of Touch.
AT a New York conference Of in
structors for the blind from institutions
In Boston, New York and Philadelphia
plans were made for the organizing
OF cooperative employment bureaus for
the blind in all parts of the country
Charles f. Campbell, superintendent
of the experiment station for the train
ing of the blind at Cambridge, said
that the.great need was instruction in
physical exercise as means Of seeing
by touch. In moving pictures he show
ed blind men and women in the act of
bicycling, skating, racing, swimming,
etc. Thus, he said, they were taught
to see with their hands and feet as
other people see with their eyes. An
other work of the station is to find en-
ployment for them in factories.

To try out the existing antirebate law
a sweeping order was issued by At
torney General Moody to the federal at

of convictions. Pursuant thereto the
grand jury at Philadelphia has return
ed eight indictments against the Great

Increase of Spectacle Habit.

Increase of Spectacle Habit.
DR.. George NJ. Gould, the famous
Philadelphia eye specialist, writing in
the December Popular Science Month
~ Of the cause, Nature and Conse
quences Of Eye Strain" justifies I'm.
questionably the growing tendency OF
the profession to prescribe spectacles
for people of all ages. He says he has
measured about 10000 pairs of eyes
and that not one Of these pairs was
without some imperfections of shape
size or curvature, and his conclusion is
that an absolutely perfect pair of eyes
does not exist In the one or two hun.
dred years since printing, commerce
and INFLAMMATION have sprung into ex-
iStence the entire ocular process of
man has been reversed. In all the ages
before. human eyes were not accustom-
ed to be focused at short range for a
long period of time. Since then read
ing. writing, sewing and handicrafts
have required focusing of the image
at twelve or fifteen inches from the
eye almost constantly for millions of
people. The result has been 'eye
strain with it's host of sequent dis
eases, far away refexes, headaches,
nervous diseases and kinds of ill health
too numerous to enumerate." In New
York city Dr. Cronin finds that over 80
per cent Of the school children are suf
ferers from gross forms of defective
eyesight, and Dr. Baker Of Cleveland
finds that children with eye defects are
invariably behind others of the same
age in school.
Another Pleasant Anesthetic.
DR.. j. r. Gwathmey tells in the New
York Medical Record of his new meth
cd of anesthesia, which is actually
pleasant to the patients. The novel
feature of his method is the use of
third bottle containing either cologne
or whisky so that one or the other of
these substances may be sprayed into
the nostrils first Then the choloro-
form or ether is started from other
bottles or in combination. Thus the
mucous membrane is accustomed to
familiar and pleasant sensation before
the full strength of the anesthetic is
administered.
Glass For Dressing Wounds.
A London physician, writing in the
Lancet, tells of successful expert
ment in dressing wound with piece
of window glass, the edges Of which
were ground smooth. He smeared the
glass with carbolic oil and applied it
to the wound, which healed quickly,
without leaving a scar. The doctor
says this method results In an immense
saving in the cost of hospital practice,
as it enables the wound to be exam
ined without the removal of the dress
ing, and that it heals twice as quickly, |
without pain.
