NEW SLATE DISCOVERED.
Maine Provides New Variety Of Slate
for Roofing Purposes.

A new variety of slate has been disoov-

United States geological survey, in the

in the bed of Holly brook. where II Is

The slate Is blush black and fine of
texture, with a cleavage surface which
shows less luster than that of the

ceous odor does not effervesce In cold

either for roofing or mill stock purposes.
Another ledge of similar slate has been
exposed by trenching about third Of n

false cleavage, at least at the surface
Should that feature continue INTO the

value. The eIate OF the Holly brook
outcrop is free from that undesirable
characteristic.

FORTUNES OF AMERICA
Croesus Had Only a Tithe of Wealth
of Some American Millionaires.

The great fortunes that have sprung
up So amazingly in this country dur
ing recent decades today In the opinion
of many serious thinkers, constitute n
menace TO our national we'll being.
Without these great fortunes there
would be no reign Of luxury in America,
no Haunting of feasts and follies, no
riot of extravaganza. with them we
may expect all the evils that have in
previous civilization attended upon
enormous riches. And many OF these
evils, as we have already seen, are ac-
tually with us.
II is admitted that we are the richest
people in the world today-the richest
people the world has ever seen. The
vaunted wealth OF Croesus Is estimated
at only 100000, but there are seventy
American estates that average S35 000.-
900 each. AS showing the rapid growth
OF individual fortunes In this country
there is interest in a list of rich men
printed in 1S55-accordlnG to which
New York City at that time boasted
only twenty-eight millionaires And q
pamphlet published some years earlier
says that in 1S45 Philadelphia could
show only ten estates valued at a mil
lion or more, the richest being that q

AS to New York City, the number Of

formation. is over 1000. while the num-
Der of millionaircs In the United States
Is at least 5000 or half the total num-
Der In the world. There is one family
alone. ut the head of which stands the
richest and most powerful man in the
world. John d. Rockefeller, and the
wealth of this family is estimated at
81 900, 900 000 a sum so huge that the
human mind quite fails TO grasp 1t, a
sum so huge that il at the birth of
Christ Mr. Rockefeller had begun ma
king dollar a minute, and had let
all these dollars accumulate day and
night for all these centuries, he would
not yet in 1906, have amassed 81 1000,-

today turn this wealth into gold coin
and take II out of the country. say into
