the process. II is one of the myster-

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS

Chime soft and low, glad Christmas bells
We, too, will sing.
Will bring our gifts more precious far
Than frankincense or costly myrrh
To Christ our king.
Our consecrated lives Wen give;
With trusting. loving hearts we bend
To plead for grace and strength to live

LITTLE KNOWN, BUT VALUED
LepidoIite, Spodumene and AmbIygo-
mite Are Minerals Of Consider
able Use in the World.

If the casual reader ran across the
words lepidolite and amblygonite in a
theological paper he might mistake
them for the names Of tribes Of the
Philistines; If he found them in a
paper on fossil skeletons he might sup
pose they meant some kinds OF ar
mored reptiles that ranged the swamps
of the cretaceous period. A cOmpan-
ion word, spodumene, though 1t ends
with "mene," would mean nothing to
him.
Lepidolite, amblygonite and spodu-
meme are the names Of the most abun-
dant lithium minerals-minerals that
are used as sources of the salts of
lithium, one of the chemical elements.
Lithium suggests mineral water or
salts used for the treatment of rheu-
matism. But that is another story. A
large percentage Of the lithium min
erals mined Is made into lithium for
use in storage batteries of q certain
type.
Lithum salts and lepidolite are
added to glass "batches" to reduce the
viscosity of the melted glass-that is,
to make it flow more freely. Lithium
chloride has been used to some extent
in fireworks and signal lights to which
it imparts an Intense red color.
Most of the lepidolite mined in the
United States is taken from a deposit
near Pala, San Diego county, Cal, and
most of the amblygOnite is mined i'm
South Dakota, where it occurs in
masses weighing hundreds of pounds.
Practically all the spodumene produced
in the United States Is mined in the
Black hills in South Dakota, where it
occurs in immense crystals, some of
them more than 30 feet long.
Lithium minerals amounting to 6,2S7
short tons, valued at $4,000, were
produced in the United States in 1919
more than ten times as much as was
produced in any year before 1916.

Above the manger in the east;
Sing of the glories of the night.
