POTASH IN UTAH.

Inc United States geological survey attaches
considerable Importance to the discovery of n bodv
of alunite near Marysyale Utah a highly min.
eraized region in which further deposits are like

aluliha and potash commonly called alum-rocl
or alumstone, and has been mined and treated
by simple exclamation for ages at Tofa Italy in
the production of alum The report states that
TINS Marysvale alunite is not refractory but Is
readily converted into either the soluble potash
alhm or potassium sulphate by comparatively
simple process of heating or exclamation By
Washing, the potassium snphate is dissolved in
water leaving the alumina almost pure The
average amount of potassium suphate leached

original material used, and the recovery by this
simple process amounts to % per cent of the
potash contents disclosed by elaborate chemical
analysis Taking the roasted alunite as a basis

potassium sulphate which can be extracted nv

SOCIAL NEWS oF The DAY

SOCIAL NEWS OF THE DAY.
Those who did active work in the
preliminary meetings Of the Christian
Extension Movement must have
viewed with pleasure the great con
course of people at the Empire last
night for the opening service. Aside
from being great singer, Mr.. But
Ter, when he talks, impresses his
hearers as one who knows what he is
talking about. His few well-chosen
words, simply spoken, did not seem
likely to appeal to the emotional ma
ture of his hearers, so much as to
their reason, ana the audience was
an interested one.
In urging better acquaintance with
the Bible, last night, MIR. Butler
quoted a verse from the Scriptures
and asked his hearers to look it up.
After the service a lady told me how,
about sixteen years ago a Mr.. LOOMS
was conducting services in a local
church and he, too, was urging dill
gent and systematic course of Bible
study One night he said, 81 do not
believe that a dozen persons in this
house have read the second chapter
of Jude VIII all who have read
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-18

this chapter please raise their
hands" A few hands were seen tim
idly lifted, and the speaker smilingly
asked them to read it again. IT," said
the lady, wishing to vindicate my
self, went to Mr. Loomis afterward
and told him that the reason | had
not read the second chapter of Jude
was that l scarcely ever looked al
the Old Testament. The expression
on the gentleman's face, though he
only family smiled, sent me home to
my Bible to find just one chapter, in
Judes general epistle, and that ii
preceded the Revelation"
