WHERE CHALK COMES FROM.
How This Useful Article is Mined.
10000 Tons Imported Yearly.


About as big as piece Of chalk" is
a familiar old time phrase that is sup
posed TO represent the limit in indef1-
niteness Of expression, for in reality a
piece of chalk might be the size of
pinhead or it might be as big as
mountain. And yet there are many
would be definite enough-persons TO
whom il would simply mean a lump of
chalk such as carpenters or lumbermen
use in marking lumber or chalk in the
form of crayons used in marking on
blackboards, these being perhaps the
only ways in which they had ever seen
chalk used.
One such person, with but limited
knowledge of chalk's varied uses and
! of the great quantities in which it is
used, was surprised to reaG in the ship
news of daily newspaper of the ar
rival of a steamer with q cargo Of
chalk. He was still more surprised to
learn that such shipments are common;
that there is imported into this country
chalk TO the amount Of about 10000
tons annually, says the Baltimore
American.
The chalk thus brought here comes
mainly from the south of England and
the north Of France. with little from
Denmark. Much of it comes from chalk
pits on the banks of the river Thames
not far from London. Chalk forma-
tons may rise above the level surface
of the earth, like the chalk cliffs on the
southern coast of England. or they
\ may lie under level ground and go be-
low the surface The chalk miners
first remove the accumulated earth and
various deposits above the substance
as they might in uncovering any min
eral deposit or formation. Then the
chalk is got out of pit as stone might
be taken from a quarry, except tina
chalk doesn't have TO he blasted, Onl!
picks and crowbars being necessary.
Besides the common chalk or com
merce, which is quarried out and which
is imported in great quantities. there
is also imported what is called precipl
tate chalk 1t is used in the manufac
ture of face and tooth powders Th'
Guarried chalk is used III making whit
ing and in the manufacture OF oil
cloth.

SALVATION ARMY
FOUNDER IS DEAD
GEN. WIN. BOOTH DIES AT HIS
HOME m THE SUBURBS
OF LONDON. N
FOUNDED MIGHTY EVANGELICAL
FORCE as YEARS AGO.
Hls Son, Bramweli Booth, VIII Be-
como Cammander-in-Chief at
His Fathers Request--The
General Was 50 Years Old.

The Rev. VIM Booth, general and
commander-in-chief of the Salvation
Army, which he founded, died at his
home in the London suburbs. He was
born at Nottingham in 1929
The veteran Salvation Army leader
was unconscious for As hours pre-
letins had not revealed the serious
ness of the generals condition, which
for a week past was hopeless.
Twelve weeks ago General Booth
underwent an operation for the re-
moval of a cataract in his left eye.
Septic poisoning set in, and from
that time the patients strength
steadily declined. The general rec
ognized that the end was near, and
often spoke of his work as being fin
ished
Throughout the commander-in-
chiefs illness his son, Bramwell
Booth, chief of staff of the army,
and Mrs. Bramwell Booth, gave their
attention to him both night and day.
The aged evangelist died at his res
idence, the Bookstore. Hadley-Wood,
some eight miles from London, where
he had been confined to his bed ever
since the operation. Present at the
bedside when the end came were Mr..
and Mrs. Bramwell Booth and their
daughter and son, Adjutant Gather
inc Booth and Sergeant Bernard
Booth; the generals youngest daugh-
ter, Commissioner Mrs. Booth-Hol-
herd and Commissioner Howard, Col.
Kitching and DR.. Wardlaw Milne.
Under the constitution of the Sal
walton Army the general dominates
his successor.
Gen. Booth did this several years
ago, placing the name in sealed
envelope, which was deposited with
the Salvation Army's lawyers with
instructions that it should not be OPP
ened until after his death. The gen.
eral belief among the Salvation Ar
my Is that it will prove to be that
of Bramwell Booth, who, for thirty
years, has been its chief of staff.
English members of the Salvation
Army are convinced that no man was
more worthy of inteyment In West
minister Abbey. Ii Is not expected,
however. this honor will be awarded
to Gen. Booth by the abbey authori-
ties II Is the general belief that the
ommander-in-chiefs last resting
place will be alongside that of his
wife. who, 81 years ago, was buried
In Abney Park, Stuke Newington.
