MADD ADD TO SITE
 FOR NEW COURTHOUSE

Little Rock, Aug. 12.-Work on the new county court house will not be commenced for sometime yet, pending negotiations that are pending on the part of the county judge for the pur- chase of the other half block upon which tue court house stands. Judge Asher has options on some of the property, but has not been able to se- cure all If the property can be pur- chased, the new $300,0O0 court house annex will be: put ill the center, in stead of on one corner, as originally intended All the present buildings, including the Quapaw Club and the Fleming office building. would be torn down. It is estimated that it would cost about $12O,OOO. but the county is in good financial condition, and the larger property owners con- sider that it would be a good invest ment for the county.

Mrs. Claude Graham-Whitc

London, August 12.-A story. huge ly enjoyed by her friends, is being told by Mrs. Claude Graham-White. nee Dorothy Taylor of New York. the bride of the great English aviator, re- garding courtship flights made by White and Miss Taylor But accord ing to her own story the first flight sne ever made, and the only one, was after their marriage when she per- suaded her husband to carry her to England from France, where they were honeymooning. Once they were in the air, young Mrs. White declares she became so terror stricken that she did nothing but clutch her husband around the neck, like a drowning per- son. It was a most perilous flight, the aviator having an exciting time keeping both his wife and the mach inc under control. The flight cured her of all desire to again leave the ground, and she has now started in earnest to persuade her husband to give up the game.

SAYS INSURANCE TAX
 LAW WAS REPEALED
Former Attorney General Gave Wrib~ ten Opinion To That Effect
 In l907. 3

Little Rock, Aug. 12.-It is recall e;l by Commissioner Clay Sloan and Dr. Avery Moore that in 1907, when MT. S!can was State Auditor and Dr. Avery Moore deputy in his cf- flee, that Attorney General E. B. Kingsworthy gave a written opinion tc the effect that the Insurance tax act of 1875 repealed the Act of 1873. It is the Act of 1873 under which the present attorney general has brought the back tax suits for the collection of over four million dollars.
 Gel. Sloan says that he recalls that his mind was confusell over the ap- parent inconsistency of the statutes, one providing 1-2 per cen tax, and the other appearing to provide 3 per cent tax, and he called fer an official opinicn. As he remembers it, he was advised that the Act of 1873 was repealed, and that the 1-2 per cent property tax provided by the Act of 1875 was all that could be eXacied of the companies. It was that view of the case that had always prevailed until Attorney General Norwood took a different view.
 The defense of the suits has been assumed by the National Board of Underwriters.

Fuel Oil on Railroads.

An interesting feature shown in the
report on petroleum for 1910 by the
United States geological survey, now
in preparation, is the statement of the
extent to which oil enters into railroad
transportation. The total length OF
railroad line operated by the use OF
fuel oil in 1910 was 21,O75 miles, a
trackage equivalent to that of prac'
tically five transcontinental lines
stretching across the United States
from ocean to ocean. Some Of the
lines that use oil. however, also use
coal. The number Of barrels Of fuel
oil-of forty-two gallons each-consum'
ed by the railroads of the country In
1910 is stated to have been 24,528,883
This includes 76S, 762 barrels used by
the railroads as fuel otherwise thar
in locomotives. The total number OF
miles run by oil burning engines In
1910 was 49, ,947. This would have
carried one engine or train around thu
world approximately $3.50 times.

The Size Of the Oceans.

The Pacific ocean covers 6 100000
square miles, the Atlantic 30, 900
and the Indian ocean, Arctic and Ant
arctic ocean 42!OOO,0OO. To stow
away the contents of the Pacific 1t
would be necessary to fill a tank one
mile long, one mile wide and one mile
deep every day for 40 years. Put in
figures, the Pacific holds in weight
e4s, 900, 900. 900, 600, 100000 tons. The
Atlantic averages a depth Of not quite
three miles. It's waters weigh 325,0O0,-
OOO,O ,OOO, 5000 tons, and a tank to
contain them would have each Of its
sides 430 miles long. The figures Of
the other oceans are in the same star
thing proportions. 1t would take all
the sea water in the world 2,0OO,O0
years to flow over Niagara.

TW0 USEFUL MINERALS.
Value Of fluorspar
Cryoiite.

industrial Value Of Fluorspar and
Cryoiite.
Fluorspar, one Of the lesser minerals
and one Of which many people have
probably heard, has come to &C.
cupy a comparatively important place
in everyday affairs. 1t is used in the
manufacture of glass, Of enameled and
sanitary ware. in refining anthony
and lead. in the production of alumni
1um and as a flux in blast furnaces
and in the manufacture Of steel In
basic open hearth furnaces. The pro-
duction Of open hearth steel alone In
1910 was over 100000 long tons.
The production Of 1uorspar, according
to Ernest F. Burchard of the United
States geological survey in a report on
fluorspar and cryolite just issued, In
creased from 1880 short tons in 1900,
valued at $94,500, to 69,427 tons in
1910, valued at $43O,196. There was
an increase in 1910 Of 81 per cent in
quantity and Al per cent in value over
the figures for 1909. The deposits
which have been exploited are in Arr
IONA, New Mexico, Colorado. Illinois,
Kentucky, Tennessee and New Hamr-
shire. Illinois is much the heaviest
producer.
Cryolite is one Of the comparatively
few useful minerals which have not yet
been discovered in commercial depos-
its in the United States, at least not
in deposits such Is can compete with
those furnishing the imported product.
In fact, there is but one important
known deposit in the wor!d-namel-.
at Ivigtut, an Eskimo hamlet Oh the
southern coast of Greenland. Even
this deposit is only about three acres
in extent. Cryolite is used principally
in the manufacture of Opaque glass,
for enameling Of ironware, in the
metallurgy Of aluminium and as a flux
in the manufacture Of white portland
| cement.
