sULPHATE DEPOSIT IN LAND

An analysis o. Z sample Of the land
OF the Municipal Shale. Brick and
Block Company last week has re-
suited in the discovery according to
the report OF the chemist.-in the dis
covery Of the presence Of calcium
sulphate i'm the soil. which goes I'M
der the commercial name Of plaster
paris. The analysis was made by
MIR Floyd Wlla1cn, chief analyst Of
The Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bend
ing Company, who reported the sui
phate in # 10 the extent Of 90 u
per cent.
SO far as Is known, the analysis
IS typical OF the structure OF all the
soil. and is therefore of considerable
Importance inasmuch as it represents
both the possible opening Of new
industry and has a financial value.
In its native state calcium sulplate
contains water or crysta 'ization: when
this is drawn off. the residue is com
meroial plaster paris. The reduction
is not a difficult one. and it is easy
10 detect the sulphate in soil.
