FLUoRsPAR BREAKS RECORD

All records for the amount of tiuor-
spar produced in the United States
were broken in 1912, when 99,2S5 short
tons of domestic gravel spar valued
at s57S,294, were marketed, compared
with 69,S25 short tons. valued at s420,
932, in 1911, the previous largest pro-
duction in the history Of the industry.
The total quantity of domestic fluor-
spar reported to the United States
Geological Survey as marketed in 1872
was 1855 short tons vaIued at
$769,163, compared with S7,04S short
tons, valued at $611, 447, marketed in
1911.
Fluorspar was produced in 1912 in
five states, Illinois, Kentucky, Colo
RADIO, New Hampshire, and New Mex
leo in the order named. Newly dis
covered fluorspar veins are reported
near Duffields, Jefferson, Morrison
and Wagon Wheel Gap, Colorado and
small quantity was produced at the
first three of these localities
The year 1912 showed consider
able decrease in the importation of
fluorspar, the imports being 26,l76
short tons valued at s71,616, against
1854 short tons, valued at $S0,6l6,
in 1911. While the average cost to the
consumer of foreign fluorspar in 1912
was So. 50; yet Notwithstanding this
difference and the considerably high
er freight charges on domestic spar
to points where it is consumed than
on foreign spar from the docks to the
eastern steel plants, the imports de-
creased and the domestic production
Increased. This was probably due
mainly TO the fact that the new mills
in southern I'll. are putting on the
market q higher and more uniform
grade Of spar than can be obtained
by importation, and as fluorspar is
largely sold on its percentage of puri-
y,
is more efficient and consequently
cheaper in the end.
Fluorspar is used In the manufac-
ture of glass and Of enameled and
sanitary ware, the electrolytic refin-
ing of anthony and lead, the produc-
ton of aluminium, the manufacture OF
hydrofluoric acid, and as aflux in
blast furnaces and in basic open
hearth steel furnaces. II is estimated
that about so per cent OF the Ameri-
can fluorspss output, mainly in the
form of gravel fluorspar is consumed
in the manufacture of basic open
hearth steel The use OF fluorspar Is
creasing in practically all these in
! dustries.

Indian Rice Rolls.

The cultivation Of rice In India in.
cludes divers varieties, differing in
size, shape and color Of grain. as well
as in suitability for culinary purposes
More than seventy million acres are
annually put under rice in India, and
samples of all the varieties produced
have recently been analysed In Eng
land. One OF these Is peculiar In that
it is too glutinous to be boiled in the
ordinary way. This difficulty IL avoid.
ed by boiling it in bamboo tubes, and
after being thus prepared it is left in
the tubes to be eaten cold, especially
by travellers. When the rice Is eaten
the bamboo is peeled off and long
roll of rice appears which forms an
excellent substitution bread.-Harp-
er's Weekly.

The Angelus.

I've been reading a life of Millet
and was struck with his poverty at
the time he painted THE Angelue."
When one considers how the pictures
may now be found in countless homes
in this and every country, 1t seems
incredible that Millet had trouble sell
ing the original All his clients hest
tated. until at last Belgia. diplomat
was persuaded into buying 1t. About
this time Millet wrote, I'VE have wood
only for one or two days, They will
not give 1t to US without money" Bet
ter times were ahead, however, and
the wonderful pictures eventually
brought Millet at least living. He
is said to have named THE Angelus"
In this way: A friend was looking at
It for the first time. What do you
think Of it?" said Millet Il hear the
bells ringing. 1t is the Angelus!"
was the immediate answer. 1T is
indeed!" said Millet. II am contented.

Old Coins Really Broken.

They had an ingenious plan for
meeting a shortage of small change
In the old days before copper coins
existed. Until the reign Of Edward I.
the silver penny was the smallest
coin minted in England, to the great
Inconvenience Of the small purchaser
Of the period. But the difficulty was
to some extent got over by the issue
Of pennies indented with deep cross.
The coin could then be broken into
halfpennies and farthings. Our first
real copper coinage only dates from
1879. and until the time Of Edward vi,
farthings Of silver we're coined, grow.

Asphalt on Streets Of Babylon.

That asphalt was known to the an.
clients is a we'll attested fact, Its use
as binder for masonry In Babylon
being in point, but Of its use other
than this we know nothing.
Strabo tells us that as early as 1000
B. c. the streets Of Babylon were
paved, and so, to- presumably were
the great roads leading out from the
many gates Of chat city. Babylon was
situated In the alluvial plain Of Meso-
potamia, and Its building material was
almost entirely clay, either as such
or in the form of bricks.
It seems rather doubtful that these
latter were used to pave the streets at
that early date. Asphalt was abun-
dant and much used In building oper-
atoms, and 1t does not sem improb-
able that It was utilized to improve
the ,treets.-Dr e. w. Gudger in Sci
