was greatly lncreaed by grindinc, and

the general average was onIv co
ton.
The most notable feature 10
years tale statistics is that the o,,+r,,4
used for manufacture into penci1s 49,
blanks was about seven times AZ J.,.or,
as the year before. There was a sIipb+
decline in the production of ground
tale, which was unexpected, consider
ings its large substitution for English,
chalk in paper manufacture due TO
the war advance in the price of Eng,
lish chalk. More than half the tale
imported comes from Canada and is
of a grade that commands q higher
price than that from domestic
sources.
Although the quantity Of imports
last year decreased about / 3 per cent,
there was an increase in value of mora
than 1G per cent. because of wal
created scarcity and lack of shipping.
Italy has been our chief source Of tale
for toilet powder and the high-grade
material for cutting has come from
Sweden, Spain, and from India,
through England 1T is said that the
resources Of this grade in India are
large.
10 the lay mind tale and soapstone
convey about the same idea, but soap
stone IS another mineral, which be-
cause of its soapy feel gives the same
general sensation upon touching as
tale. The word Soapstone is correctly
used to designate a massive rock that
is composed largely of tale. In its
most valued form the grains of tale
lnterlock and thus preclude a decided
schlstose or gneissoid structure, which
would render 1T weak for structural
purposes. The most important applis
cation of Soapstone, depending on it's
resistance of heat, acids and electri-
city, is in the manufacture of laundry
tubs, laboratory table tops, tanks,
sinks, fume hoods, switchboard and
in general insulation, besides many
smaller uses growing out of it's slow
radiation Of heat. The entire output
last year, 2O,235 tons, came from three
mines in Virginia, and more than rs
per cent. of it was sold in manufac-
tured form, especially for laundry
tubs and laboratory tables, but much
is also sold in form slabs for manu-
facture and d smaller quantity in the
rough.
The soapstone Of the Virginia belt is
derived from the alteration Of a large
body of basic intrusive rock, extend
northeastWard through Nelson, Abe
marie, and Orange counties, and at
fording a large reserve of soapstone
for future years. Soapstone occurs
also in Vermont, but the deposit has
not been worked in recent years be
cause of the larger slabs that can be
obtained from the Virginia quarries

POWDER FOR NOSES
TAKES TONS Of TALC
New York State Has Been Coun-
try's Largest Producer

If one accepts the draft census fig
ures indicating that there are 1000
600 people or more in the United
States Of whom at least onc-fourth are
women OF more or less maturity, each
with a, nose to powder once or many
times every day, rain or shine, he is
almost inclined TO doubt the declara-
ton of the Geological Survey that only
1858 tons of talcum was produced
in America last year and only 1869
tons was imported.
And the figures become more and
more amazing when it is asserted that
the total value of this talcum was
$1,SS9.G72. and that of this sum more
than nine-tenths of it was paid for
talcun to be used in paper-making
and other industrial processes. Sub
tracing the amount used for industry
(not that poWdering a nose may not
be industriously done) from the total
and taking into account the millions
Of babies that get a daily busting, and
the tons of tale that BARRIERS put upon
their patrons clothes to give the brush
boy a chance to fitch a tip, it surely
leaves less than one would suppose
clusion that a little talcum goes a
long way in reducing the glare of ~
shiny nose.
But regardless of noses and foot
ease, and soap aduLteration and the
many other less vital uses of tale, ii
is a highly important mineral, re-
markable for it's softness, unctuous
feel, and stability, properties which

In it's natural state it appears in the
so called French chalk used by tailors
and in crayons. In ground form it is
most commonly seen in lubricatin9
and toilet powders, although it's more
extensive application is as a filler in
the manufacture of paper. Much is
used in rubber and certain kinds of
paints. Some OF that mined in Vir-
ginia has been successfully used as
foundry facing instead of graphite. Its
high insulating qualities gain for it a
large application in electric insulation.
The sales Of last year show a gain of
nearly 8 per cent. in quantity and of
more than I per cent. in value. Thirty
seven producers reported to the Geo.
logical Survey, of whom seven were in
California, six in Georgia, one each in
Jersey, four in New York, six in
North Carolina, two in Pennsylvania,
five in Vermont and four in Virginia.
Heretofore New York has always
been the premier State in the quantity
and value Of the tale production of
the United States, but it has given
way in quantity to Nerm ont, although
on account of the fibrous character
and consequent higher grade of the
New Yorll product for making paper.
it's total value is still $256,312 greater
than that of Vermont.
The most striking feature in the
production Of tale for the year is the
increase in quantity of % per cent.
in Nermon with large reserves, and
the decrease Of nearly 20 per cent. in
New York.
The highest average priced tale, in
GLIDING that which was cut for gas
tips pencils, and insulators, was from
Georgia, North Carolina and Vermont,
and the highest price ranged from $50
to 5000 q ton. The lowest priced ma
terial was sold as rough tale (crude)
at prices ranging from IS to SIS a ton.
