bility of preventing bullets dropping
on American soil as long as the fight

Yesterday but not seriously.
Shrapnel struck an unoccupied resi-

Tale in Vermont

America leads the world in the produc-
ton of tale, and Vermont ranks next to
New York in production and Pennsylvan-
ia is third, followed by North Carolina,
| Virginia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and
| Georgia are next in the order of prOduc-
ton. We of Vermont therefore do our
share in smoothing all the rough places
and lessening friction Of all kinds, The
cool and soothing toilet powder used by
nearly every body from the cradle to the
grave is made of tale, which also absorbs
grease from silks and other fabrics, bleach
es cotton cloth, and cleans up things gem
orally.
The demand for tale is steadily grow
ing in the United States and the prOduc-
tion has resp onded. The largest amount
of tale is used in the manufacture of
paper of many kinds, from roofing to
writing paper, not simply to give the
body and weight but to improve the
quality of the paper. give it a smooth
finish, and make it better adapted to re-
ceiVe printers ink.
The total output of tale in the United
States in 1913 was 1921 tons, valued at
81, 2SO,0 2O, gain of nearly II per cent
in quantity and more than lG per cent in
value as compared with that of 1912.
New York is not only the banner State
in the production of tale, but in 1913 it
had the largest output of its history, ex-
ceeding by 10000 tons the largest previous
annual production.
These statements are based on report
issued by tho United States Geologic i
Survey.
Soapstone is used for making laundry
tubs, griddles, and the like, and the in
duStry is for the most part distinct FROM
the tale industry, although one company
in Virginia produces both sOapstoue AID
tale. Four States-Rhode Island, NORTH
Carolina, Vermont and Virginia-produce
soapstone, but Virginia, with six pro-
ducers, has an output many times rs
large as all the others combined. The
total output of soapstone in this country
in 1913 was 20, 562 tons, valued at $G2S, OF. |

"Popple."
News.

In some English dialects 'pobble or
popple' (fOr it is variously spelt and
pronounced), seems to mean a large
pebble CAS-. papoD. The same word
survives today among sea-faring men,
who talk of 'popply" sea, meaning a
"choppy sea'-one the surface of
which is agitated with innumerable
"lumpy" waves. On the other hand,
there is an old English word "popple"
meaning poplar" which is in use TO-
day in some parts of Canada. Evident
ly the word as it stands is of consid-
cradle interest, and of double deriva-
ton and meaning.
