PLANS TO CURE BY MUSIC,

May Reform Criminals.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Boston. Jan o4.-That healing by music will
ultimately be accepted the panacea for hun
dreds Of cases Of disease which now battle
physicians Is the belief of a Boston woman,
Miss Christine Brown, who has founded new
health cult here.
.'The secret of cure lies entirely in sweet,
n1eiodious and seductive strains OF music she
saws Musical harmony is q fundamental law
OF the inner self. To be we'll our bodies must not
onlv be in tune with the self within. but also in
accord with external conditions. 1 believe that
music. scientifically employed in prisons and
asylums for the demented. will eventually be-
come the means of reforming criminals. and
will result in a steady decrease in the thou
sands who now crowd the insane asylums- 1t
is not necessary that person should possess an
artistic sense or that sufferer should even
have a musical to obtain the benefcent ef-
fects OF harmony"

Georgia is Very Rich in Mineral
Resources
REPORT OF STATE GEOLOGIST
Polk, Barlow And Floyd Counties Are
Rich in Limestone And Shale De-
posts.

Atlanta Ga.--Few people realize
the tremendous natural wealth OF
Georgia, and the state geological
board, under the direction of Profess
sor McCallie is working hard all the
time to get data of this kind III such
shape that the outside world viii see
the states great wealth and develop
it properly
A meeting OF the state geological
board was held in Governor Browns
office and Professor McCallie read q
most interesting report on tho work
of his department for the past sever
al months. lie showed that the great
iron deposits Of Georgia are being
developed more and more every year.
He estimates the water power OF
the state, it fully developed, to be-
worth fully $40 100000 a year 70 the
state. He also gave much attention
to the limestone deposits OF North
Georgia. Barlow, Polk and Floyd are
especially rich in limestone. That III
Barlow is more suitable for making
commercial lime, while that OF POlk
and Floyd is better for cement Polk
has cement plant and large shale
brick plant at Rockmart.
Vast quantities OF kaolin from
Twiggs county are being shipped to
all parts Of the world, the bulk OF it
being exported. 1t is largely used
In the manufacture OF fine china, and
Professor McCallie is OF the opinion
that it should be manufactured here.
DR.. T. Poole Maynard, assistant
state geologist, during the quarter,
completed field Investigations OF the
limeGtones and shales in Barlow
county as far north as Kingston. In
this county he reports the occurrence
Of excellent exposures of limestone
Of the Knox dolomite series, suitable
for making lime and natural cement
He also completed field Investigations
in Polk county, where he found lime
stone in many places suitable for
fluxing, and suitable shales, for
the manufacture OF fine brick. Field
work was likewise completed in
Floyd county, where many limeStones
were found suitable for plasters and
general agricultural purposes.
Porfessor McCallie spoke very en-
Enthusiastically of the artesian water
supply OF south Georgia,
Unfortunately, it SENS to be an
altogether too common opinion among
persons living in the north and west
that south Georgia is generally un.
healthy, due, mainly, to its bad wa
tiers. To demonstrate that such a
condition of affairs does not exist, but
just the opposite conditions obtain,
is the points the department wishes
to bring out in its publications on
the water supply system OF south
Georgia. Mr.. McCallie says:
"Tf were called on to select
from a sanitary standpoint, the best
drinking waters OF the state, | would
unhesitatingly select the artesian well
waters OF south Georgia. That sea
ton can hardly realize what a great
blessing they have in an inexhaustible
and uncontamibnable water supply !"
