Washington, Dec 31,--According to a
bulletin Just issued by the geological
survey, white marble is a bad compo-
sition for gravestones, due to the fact
that it is subject to dissolution. and
also that the inscriptions thereon are
etfaced very early compared with other
materials for the same thing.
Although marble is considered SUI
perior," continues the report, FOR stat
uary and ornamental purposes, to many
OF the other stones III its ability to
Withstand the action Of heat cold, snow
and rain, its wearing quality is gov
erned by four factors. namely, its chem
ical composition, its texture, the gem
eral character of the climate and local
artificial conditions of the atmosphere"
1t is generally known that carvings
in European marbles will stand eX-
posture in the climate of southern Eu-
rope much better than In that of the
eastern states One authority states
that in the dry atmosphere Of Egypt,
Greece and Italy marble statues after
an exposure Of 1000 years lose some OF
their fine lines but become coated with
q fine protective crust" This same
scientist, however, refers to a number
of Norwegian caicite marbles which
have stood six or seven hundred years
exposed to the raw, windy and cold
climate of northern and western Nor
