Resembles Tennessee Marble.

Attic all marbles are calcareous the ordinary
Kasota stone fully conforms with the &C.
cepted idea of lime rock. 1t is much coarser
in texture than the new material, and the COM
position Of the latter, while retaining the gen.
eral characteristics OF it's parent deposit, quite
closely resembles that Of the best Tennessee
marble. Z But 1t is infinitely prettier Running
thru it are irregular stripes Of red and yellow,
and the notified effect gives it an appearance
that is wonderfully beautiful small piece
Of the marble resembles nothing so much as
bar Of CASTLE soap, and, far as known, there
Is other stone in which two colors are SO
brilliantly combined. Like all marbles, it is
impossible to find two pieces marked exactly
| alike. >, ..i..,
With its value proven, the Kasota men intend

spring possible. Both Quarrfes have ordered
improved polishing appara tus and special ma
chinery for saving the stone-devices that will
permit them to cut 1t into slabs no more than
an Inch in thickness. Lathes for turning ornate

work and fnishings and to manufacture lavatory

sofa quarries, and the inauguration of the new
industry will require that the working force
be considerably increased. The quarries have
been In operation for more than half cen
fury, and the marble find insures them con
tinuation for far longer period.

ST. Peter. Mimi, Feb. A.--What is expected
to, and doubtless will, prove discovery OF the
greatest magnitude has just been made at the
stone quarries in Kasota. Lying far beneath
the level Of the present workings there has been
found a vein OF the purest marble-a ledge OF
rock four feet In thickness that will bring Tor
tunes to the men who develop It. The new
material Is much harder and more finely grained
than that taken from the other lodges, Is very
beautiful in color and seems to ofrer an oppor-
tunity to build up another extensive industry IN
the village that is now known turnout the
northwest for the fine quality Of its stone
The failure to quarry the marble IN past
years has not been due so much to lack OF
knowledge of Its presence as to lack OF appre-
citation Of its virtues. In fact, the kasota
men have long known that they had the stone
but have been tardy In coming to realization
Of its possibilities. This, however, can be par
TALLY attributed to the peculiar form OF the
Kasota deposit and to business conditions wnicn
had to be contended with when the quarr1es
were opened
Unlike the quarries at Mankato and other
places in the state, those at Kasota DO not form
/ a steep; perpendicular bluff. They lie IN
nat tableland, which rises about fifty feet above
| the bed of the Minnesota river and runs to the
1 high bluffs, nearly mile to the eastward. Ic
4 quarry the product it is necessary to go IN IRON
| the top, thus uncoverng the fiat surface OF eact
| successive ledge, rather than beginning at one
side and exposing the edges OF all the veins. :

FENCING ANDRKLE SHOOTING
Additions Made To Athletics Al The
Naval Academy.
RIGHT OF MIDSHIPMEN TO WEAR THE
NAVY IN"
Interesting System Governing The award Of
Athletic insignia Works Well at
The Academy.

Fencing and rifle shooting have been
added TO the sports in which success
ful participants are honored by receiy-
ing the right TO wear the Navy M
or stars from the Navy Athletic Asso-
citation. Fencing was added to the
other sports sometime ago and the in
signals awarded in this sport are gray.
Rifle shooting is the most recent adj.
dition and the color used is brown or
kahki.
There is an interesting system gov
erning the awards of athletic insignia
at the Naval Academy. Each sport
recognized by the Athletic Associa-
tion has its distinctive color and
there are three grades of excellence.
each known by its distinctive mark.
The three marks are the star. the
NJ and the " I'd. in the order
of their value.
Besides the sports mentioned, foot
ball insignias are yellow: baseball,
white; rowing, red and field and track
athletics, green. This makes six
sports in all, which are assigned a
color and makes the total number of
athletic insignias which may be won
reach eighteen. Basketball has been
introduced, but it has not been recog-
nized by the assignment of color
until it has taken firmer hold.
The star is awarded only TO mem
bers of a team which has been sue
cessful in a competition with West
Point, Annapolis great rival. The
yellow football star has just been
awarded TO the fourteen midshipmen
who took part in the Arn,y-Navy
football game at Philadelphia. The
only midshipmen now in the Acad-
emy who have earned the white base
ball star are Symington, Thibault and,
Cohen, who took part in the defeat of
the Army two years ago. AS the Navy
meets the Army only in football, base
ball and fencing, the yellow. white
and gray stars are the only ones that
can be won.
Next in point of honor is the IN.
1t is awarded to those who receive
the star and also to those who. in
the opinion of the executive com
mittee of the Navy, have deserved the
honor of wearing it by playing in inn
portant games. The IN 2d'' is given
to those who have played in the minor
games or who have done creditable
work on the scrub team.
This graded system of awarding
honors has worked well and has given
those who have done creditable work
a badge of distinction, thus encourage
ing the efforts OF the midshipmen 10
do good work in the different lines OF
athletics.

SHELLHSH COMMISSION.
Discuss Engineers Report Record
of The Commission.

The Shelliish Commission met here
yesterday, all the members being pres
ent. Matters connected with tho be-
ginning of the. actual operations of the
Planting Law were discussed and the
report of Engineer Swopson Earle was
received.
The most important question to bc
settled by the counsel to the board Is
that of the time of the beginning of
the rent TO be paid by the owners Of
oyster beds under prior laws who
have registered under the present law.
and thus, il is thought, become lessees
of bottoms sunder the present law,
and, consequently, responsible for the
rent therein set out.
The oyster Cultivation Act, section
los, prescribes that such owners reg
lister with the Shellfsh Commission
before October ;, 1906. Many had
registered up TO that time, The law
further provides that such persons be-
come lessees under the act. with all
the incidents, including the payment
of the rents of the leases contemplated
by this act" II is contended that
this language means that such lesSeos
are required to pay rent from April
,, 1905, when the law went into effect,
they having had possession under tho
act since that time, though their ap-
plieation was filed later.
. Another question involves the man
ner of ascertaining the location of the
bottoms mentioned. The commission
will request information from its coun-
sci as to whether or not the certificates
of survey which were furnished by
the old lessees when they filed their
application for the reservation of their
beds could be accepted as the record OF
the commission. IL is hoped that they
may, as a contrary view would re-
quire the rcSuryey of all of these re-
served beds, of which there are over
5000.
Engineer Earle submitted his report,
covering his work during the season,
beginning juno 30 and ending Dccem-
Der 10 of the present year. During that
period there were "a days during
which actual photographic surveying
work was done. During that time
81 513 acres of bottoms were actually
surveyed and over %, 000 will surely
be regarded rs natural beds and re-
served from the operations of the
Planting Law. An average of 426 49-11
acres of bottoms were surveyed in
each working day. The accurate fig
ure as to the number of acres of natur-
nj beds cannot at present be deter
mined, as the character OF certain bot
toms is still TO be determined by the
action of the Shelllish Commission.

PLEASING DECORATIONS.
Ball Given By Local Aerie of Eagles
a Brilliant Success.

one OF the most successful balls Of
the season al the Assembly Rooms
was that given last night by the local
Aerie of Eagles. Never before has the
hall been so uniquely and elaborately
decorated as on this occasion. Th e
entire walls were covered with flags
and pennants until the large room had
n military and a patriotic air. The
Eagle screamed in deed and in truth.
Facing the entrance was a huge
American flag covering the entire end
wall. on a pedestal beneath the flag
was large golden eagles beneath
which the Maryland colors were artis-
tieally festooned. The ceiling was
also festooned with flags and pennants,
and the decorations which were very
elaborate, reflect great credit on the
decorators, who were seamen from the
Naval Academy.
The electrical effect was very pleas
ing. Many additional lights were
installed, and two large "spot lights
loaned for the occasion by Ford S
Theatre and the Auditorium, Baltf-
more. were novelties not before seen
here. These were used in the moon
light dance. when all the other lights
were turned out. and to make soft,
mellow glow, amber mica was placed
in front of the large calcium light.
/ Professor Sehreyer's orchestra furnish
ed the music, and n splendid dance
program was enjoyed. Supper was
served at midnight.
The dance was a great success in all
details and reflects credit on the CONF
mittee in charge and on the Fraternal
order OF Eagles.
