How Chalk Is Formed.

Deposits of chalk are found on some shores of the sea. A piece of chalk, such as the teacher uses to illustrate something on the blackboard at school. consists of the remains of thousands of tiny creatures that at one time lived in the sea. All of their bodies, excepting the chalk-called carbonate of lime in scientific language-has disappeared and the chalk that was left was piled up where it fell at the bottom of the ocean, each particle pressing over it all until it became almost solid. It took thousands of years to make these chalk

drive being made by the revenue of ficiaIs and the pharmacy commission, the Bridgeport Medical society is like ly to enlist the aid of the board of health in controlling and 1essening the trade here.
 A meeting of the society was held last Tuesday, at which Commissioner sJ- A. Leverty of the pharmacy board, talked. explaining a new Federal rul- ing relating to narcotics
 The ruling would centralize the dis tributfon of drugs to confirmed users so that it could be regulated and eventually diminished to a negligible quantity.
 The rzling suggests to nnunfcipali- ties the appointment of one physician to write all prescriptions for users Of whom it is said, they must have it. Every dope f1end'' known to the police, every man orSWonan who applies to a physician for relief from the tortures caused by lack of drugs. would be sent to this physician. All Tenderloin residents, most of ,who use drugs. would be compelled to go to the designated physician.
 This physician would be expected to lower the quantity mentioned in the prescription each tine, ESQ that eventually each person would be talk ing minimum amount In this manner, it is thought better record may be kept of each user, and the use diminished
 The board of health may make an appointment of such a physician. It is likely that as 8 result of the ad- dress of Commissioner Leverty last Tuesday. the Medical society will at tenopt to have this method pursued here.
 As 30 per cent. of the users names and habitations here are recorded, it is though this method would be un- usually successful.

Cutters have certain rules for sharp ening razors, pocketknives, etc. "A raZor,' said one of the craft quoted by the Scientific American, must be laid fiat on the hone, because it is hol- low ground and requires a fine edge. But pocketknife requires a stiff edge, and the moment you lay it flat on a stone, so as to touch the polished side, you injure the edge. It must be held at an angle of twenty to twenty-five degrees and have an edge similar to a chiSel" :"

is undated. He came from Italy
at the age of thirteen and he wants

the report that the Minnesota Steel
company is about to begin the con-
struction of the third blast furnace
at its plant here. He says the cap
acity of the present plant is sufh-

another furnace at this time.
At present the plant is operating
two blast furnaces which have cap
acity of 500 tons of pig iron each
a day and 10 open hearths-seven
of which are in operation-with a
capacity of 200 tons of steel each
per day. The plant is now pro-
ducing about 40, 900 tons of steel
per month with every unit in oper-
alton.
Work of charging the ore house
to double its present capacity is un-

is received from the mines and the
company seeks more room to guard
against possible contingencies. =
