Colorado Marble For Lincoln
Memorial.

The white marble Of which the great
So. 600, 900 Lincoln memorial temple is to
be built on the banks of the Potomac in
Washington is to come from the Sopris
national forest, Colorado.
This is said to be the first great build
ing in the east to be constructed of this
stone, known to the building trades as
Denver marble. though mnch Of II has
been used as an interior finish In public
bulldogs. In the west notable example
of its use Is found in the new federal
building at Denver.
While the marble qnarries are IN the
midst of the national forest they are on
private land secured nuder the laws by
which acres bearing deposits of bui ding
stone are disposed Of by the government
Under the law prospectors can locate
and secure title to mineral deposits on
the national forests just as they can on
the open public domain The marble
company which owns the quarries is a
large user of national forest timber in the
working of its properties. situated near
Marble, Colo.
The history Of the company Is said to
be Of considerable interest, as represent
ing indomitable enterprise against diff
culties The country in which the
marble deposits occur is extremely rough
and PERCEPTIONS. and for long time was
inaccessible because Of lack of trans
portation facilities. Large sums had to
be expended before the stone could be
got out and brought to market Up to
1907. when the product first began to at
tract attention, it is said that $1,000, 900
had been expended in developing the
property.

State Senator-elect Frank E. Williams.
and Representatives-elect Davis, Mearns
and Letter have issued call to the cit
liens Of Cecil county for meeting TO be
held in Elkton Monday next, De ember
/, for the purpose of obtaining views on
needed legislation.
The move is good one, and citizens
and taxpayers from every section OF the
county should make special effort to
attend and participate in the discussion.
During the recent campaign the Road
Engineer Law came in for such universal
condemnation that its repeal was prom
ised by all candidates for the General
Assembly, and this will no doubt be
done. but the problem that faces our
newly elected lawmakers is the enact
ment of some measure that will put the
road system of our county on a more
bnsiness-like basis. Numeroue plans
have been suggested, one being COM
missioner from every Election District in
the county, instead of three County Com
missioners, as at present.
This and other important measures
should be threshed out at the citizens
meeting. and some general outline of
needed reform legislation mapped out for
the guidance Of our representatives. who
promise TO devote every effort 10 securing
the passage of corrective measures for
our county

Public Schools OF Today.


So many articles are written i'm news

educational progress turn back its tide
until the shadows Of so years ago appear.
New things are entering our schools
simply because they are demanded by
the present civilization, which gives a
constantly changing point of view
through the rapid progress that is being
made along all lines.
Fifty years ago people died of tubercu-
losis as matter of course. It was not
thought to be contagious and was consid-
cred incurable. Now, we know that II
Is contagious. that it is often durable, and
that It Is certuiuly preveutable. It Is APP
palling TO think how many lives were cut
of by death when they might have been
saved through better knowledge Of the
disease.

RAINMAKlNG PALACES.
Natures Processes Too Gigantic TO Be

Natures Processes Too Gigantic TO Be
Initiated by Man.
Warm air is like sponge. It will
suck up lot of moisture and carry It
without splitting any. But If warm
air, well loaded with moisture. is sud-
denly cooled the sponge is squeezed
and the moisture falls out as rain.
Many years ago some hopeful gen.
tlemen went to one Of our arid regions
and exploded a lot of dynamite on the
theory that the conclusion would mix
the strata of warm air near the earth
with the cooler strata above and so
cause the necessary precipitation Of
moisture. There happened to be light
showers about the time of the expert
ments. which encouraged the expert
mentors. but didn't convince anybody
else.
The fact is that natures rainmaking
machine is too gigantic to be affected
BY the puny efforts of humans-at least
by any methods so far discovered.
Nature pumps the moisture laden air
up into the cold regions of the upper
atmosphere with wheel a thousand
miles in diameter. When this ire
mendous wheel Of air is revolving nor
mally it hoists millions Of tons of wa
ter vapor to an elevation where it can
no longer be carried in solution and
SO falls in rain
When the wheel is of adjustment IT.
Is as futile to lombard the sky with
dynamite as It would be to fire popgun
corks at the side of the latest Dread
nought-- Kansas City Star.
