:
The principal garnet mines in the
United States are located in Warren
and Essex counties, in the eastern Ad-
irOndackS, in northeastern New York.
These. mines all lie within six or eight
miles of the village of North Creek, a
terminus Of the branch of the Della
ware and Hudson. The country rock
is entirely pre- Cambrian, consisting OF
igneous rock. together with .metamor-
phosed sediments: The three mines
being worked at present are the Rog-
ers, Sanders Bros. and the Hooper =
At the Rogers mine the size of the
garnets is of unusual interest The
matrix is Il gray medium grained nom
quartziferous gneiss, through which the
numerous translucent, reddish brown
garnets are well scattered. Those with
diameters up to five or six inches are
common, and the largest taken out are
said to be the size of bushel basket
The remarkable feature is the never
failing occurrence of rim or envelope
of pure black, medium grained horn
blende crystals completely inclosing
each garnet. The reddish brown gar
nets completely surrounded by the
black hOrnblende rims. which are in
turn embedded in the gray gneiss. pre-
sent a striking appearance in the walls
of the mine pits. The garnet bearing
rock is fully three-quarters of mile

Gloves For x Ray Work.

The protecting gloves which are gem
orally in use for X ray work are or
binary gloves. having applied on the
back layer Of lead containing rubber.
as lead is known to stop the rays. But
this layer is somewhat stiff and lacks
suppleness, and, besides, it is only the
back of the hand that is protected, and
the palm and sides, which are often
exposed to the rays, have no such
shield from their action. A French
inventor makes use Of a fabric which
is much more flexible, and it protects
the whole of the hand from injury by
the rays The new fabric is woven
from silk, which is heavily sized
with lead composition, so that it con-
tains three times it's weight of lead.
This tissue has the advantage Of being
much more elastic than that which has
been used up to the present and acts
as very good screen for the x rays,
especially when the back portion is re-
enforced. 1t will no doubt render good
service to operators. who always run
the risk of severe burns.

FILTRATION PLANTS.
White Quartz Sand Commonly Used In
Making Filter Beds.

In answer to any inquiry from Min.
nesota, requesting information con-
corning sand suitable for filters. the
United States geological survey states
that clear white quartz sand Of the
proper size is the common material
used in filter beds. The specifications
for the filtration plants at Springfield.
Mass. and Toronto, Canada. are prac-
tically identical with those of the
Washington plant anil are as follows:
'"The filter sand shall be clean sand.
with either sharp or rounded grains.
1t shall be entirely free from clay.
dust or organic impurities and shall.
if necessary, be washed to remove
such materials from it. The grains
shall. all of them, be Of hard mate
rial which will not disintegrate. The
effective size shall not be less than OPS
milllmeter nor more than OBS MILL
meter. The uniformity coefIicient
shall not be more than 80 The sand
shall DE free from dust and shall not
contain more than ! per cent liner
than O.13 millimeter and shall be en-
tirely free from particles over 5 milli-
meters in. diameter. The sand shall
not contain more than 2 per cent by
weight Of lime and magnesia taken to-
gether as carbonates. In all other re-
spects the sand shall be of quality
satisfactory to the engineer"

TESTS OF AIR BRAKES.
important Results Obtained In Quick
Stopping Of Heavy Trains.

Stopping Of Heavy Trains. &
Important improvements in the brak-
ing of heavy trains were described in
paper read before the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers at New
York recently. These tests We're con
Quoted Jointly by the Pennsylvania
railroad and the Westinghouse Air
Brake company. The results are con
sidered the most important recent con
tribution to the subject of air brakes.
A train Of twelve steel cars at sixty
miles per hour stores up 224. OOO,OOO
foot pounds of energy. This is sutfi
Gent to raise the entire train 100 feet
With prevailing brake equipment such
train would be stopped by an emer-
gency application in a distance Of
1000 to- 1900 feet. according to the
truck rigging and brake shoe design
These tests showed that this distance
has actually been reduced to 1000 feet,
or to within the length of the train
This was the result of improvements
in the truck brake design involving the
clasp brake, having two shoes per
wheel. and the location of the brake
shoes with reference to the horizontal
center line of the wheels, in addition
to improved methods of applying the
air brakes quickly and simultaneously
and at high pressure. This concerns
safety. 4
