stone was one of the strongest and
most durable in the world. Durability
in stone depends upon the cohesion OF
the mineral particles, and is evidenced
by resistance to crushing and shearing.
The hardness is purely incidental

one Of the leading experts in the slate
industry, set about finding some way
in which the enormous percentage Of
waste at most of the slate quarres could
be reduced. His proposition was bril-
liant one. Slate contains rutile and
this, be declared, lis worth $500 a pound
Why not extract this rare mineral from
all of the slate waste, and transform
what is now burden and a serious
expense into a source OF big profit
There are only few slight difficulties
in the way OF this brilliant sugges-
ton.
'In the first place the expert, in his
enthusiasm, overstated the value of the
metal a mere little matter of some 1000
times. Rutile, or oxide of titanium, is

about $3.50 a ton at the point of pro-
duction. In the next place, it is not
a mineral of rare occurrence. Accord
ing to the estimate of the chief analyst
of the United States geological survey,
it forms 0.43 per cent. Of the surface
rocks Of the globe, being much more
plentiful than lead, zinc, copper, and
other metals elassed as common IL

Of the aeidic rocks, entering especially
into the darker mineral 1t is also
found in appreciable quantities in al.
most all clays, even including those
dredged from the bottom of the ocean.
Long rutile needles are frequently seen
running through quartz crystals and some
of the more common gem stones. How
ever there are very few places in the
world that have rItile deposits capable
of commercial development. One Of
these is in Nelson county, Va. The
rutile there is very pure and occurs in
the form OF small crystals, looking like
garnets imbedded in a decomposed gran
lite that is easily crushed. Some years
ago a German company developed this
deposit and erected small plant. Its
output was never large and / am under
the impression that the enterprise has
been given up. Although great things
have been predicted for rutiIe in the arts
and manufacture, it is generally found
that some cheaper and more accessible
mineral will serve as WELL Because a
high grade of steel was made from
some Of the titaniferous iron ores il
has been felt that rutile may some
time play an important part in the steel
industry. But the demand has not yet
arisen. The proposition to use slate
waste for It's titanium ingredient is
wilder dream than the extraction of gold
from seawater."

GRANITE MISREPRESENTATION
Protest Made By George Barnum in De-
cember "Stone" Magazine.

Writing in the December number Of
"Stone," George Barnum protests
against the Misrepresentation in the
stone industry. His article is as fol-
lows:
at is impossible to deny that great
deal of harm is done to the stone indus
try by the exaggerated statements Of
ignorant and irresponsible writers.
There is little of malice prepense in
this; it largely comes from the pc
euliarly American trait of dealing in
superlatiyes. The average American
writer would think himself
recreant to his duty if he did not la
bel the thing he was describing as the
best, the rarest, the largest. or the most
costly in the world. As a race we are
optimistic, and we like to believe that
what comes most Immediately under our
observations cannot be bettered. The
spirit is largely responsible for the won
derful progress we have made, but its
