VALUABLE BUILDING STONE.
Finest Silica in America Discovered in
North Mississippi Along Bear Creek.

What biologists and experienced
quarrymen pronounce TO be the most
valuable building stone ever found in
the United States has been discovered
go miles south of Memphis, in north
Mississippi, along Big Bear creek. 1t
is said to be the finest silica stone in
America and the only specimen of its
kind is found near Edinburgh, Scot
land, where most public buildings have
been erected of it,
Practically all of the stone lies in a
deep gorge, through which flows Big
Bear creek. Acres of it is on top of the
ground, formed in such a way that il
can be gotten in slabs or blocks of
almost any size. There is little over
burden to any of it.
DIR. l.. c. Glenn, geologist at Wander
bilt university, Nashville, who went to
the locality and made q report of his
findings. said the vein averaged 25 and
80 feet deep and that its bedding is
usually remarkably uniform and par
sllel, so that when split along the bed
ding planes the blocks have almost
perfectly even surfaces.
When the stone as exposed to air il
readily hardens, according to DIR. Glenn.
1t will resist weather indefinitely with
out crumbling or disintegrating. The
natural color of the stone is white and
free from the influence Of surface per
colating waters.
Experts say the stone can be market.
ed in Memphis 30 per cent cheaper than
any other class of white building stone
and considerably cheaper than cement
or brick The Illinois Central railroad
has track extending through the
property.
In order to market the stone, c. C..
and Thos !. Wexford Of Memphis and
w. f. Dunbar of Atlanta have secured
an option on ! 100 acres of land through
which the vein of rock has been traced

Mr.. Roots Foresight.

A story from Philadelphia, told by
one OF the architects of the Pan Amer
lean building in Washington, is to the
effect that for the last ten years a
chair, designed for use in that building
by Eihu Root when he was secretary
OF state, has been in hiding in Wash
ington. The secrecy was due to the
fact that the chair was decorated with
the arms of Canada and was designed
to seat representative of that country
whenever any man appeared in Wash
ington qualified to sit in il.
The man will be there before long
and the secret is out.
The incident is slight, but it might
serve as the text OF an extended dis
course on the relations between the
Dominion aud the United States. How
ever. at this time it is sufficient to re-
mark what pity il is that more
statesmen in Washington do not com
bne the foresight, good sense and good
humor of Mr.. Taft's secretary of state

Where Are the Bosses?

Where are the bosses of the good old
ruthless typey Where are the easy
BOSSES who have ruled delegation:
with a whisper and a smile Such men
as in the past were supposed to hold
national conventions in the hollows OF
their hands are no longer drawing the
awed gaze of the multitudes.
Where are the Tom platts, the Matt
Quays, the Mark Hannas, the Clark
sons? Are there no bosses to-day in
our national politics? Or do they work
by ways more devious than did the
bosses aforetimer VIII some unseen
and unsupported hand pull strings con
trolling the proceedings in the Coli
seumy
The primary laws appear to have put
the extinguisher on the boss. They de-
stroyed the machinery that made il
possible for the boss to control the
votes of delegates. The primaries send
to the national convention men in
structed not by boss ruled caucus.
but by public opinion that cannot be
easily and secretly manipulated.
The disappearance of the boss has
seen the rise of the candidate as a
direct factor in national conventions
The connection is so close as to suggest
that the two phenomena are related.
Undoubtedly one of the important func-
tions of the old time boss was that of
elimination. and probably it never will
be known how many incipient booms
were killed in their infancy by the
Platts, the Quays and the Hannas of
the past. And il the increase in the
OF presidential aspirsnts of the
present year is an augury of the flu
ture, some observers might conclude
that bosses had their legitimate uses.
They would be wrong in 50 conclud-
ing. A convention ought really TO de-
liberate. to choose the man believed by
a majority of the delegates TO be the
best candidate for president. all things
A candidate chosen by a
handful of bosses in return for certain
definite promises of patronage or for
other reasons, personal to themselves.
as were some candidates in the past,
could not be truly the psrty's choice.

New Treatment for Leprosy Apparent
ly Successful

The Emitted States public health
service has reports of what appears ia
b. a cure for leprosy, II was announced
by Surgeon General Hugh S. Cummings
yesterday
Thus one Of the worlds most dread
ed maladies, regarded as hopeless and
incurabe scourge of humanity since
carly history, would seem to have been
conquered by officers of the public
health service in the leper colony in the
Hawaiian Islands.
For some years the belief has been
gaining ground that leprosy could be
cured, and encouraging progress was
made by several investigators. The
starting point for this study was the
observation th.t now and then the
course of the disease appeared to be
favorable influenced ty treatment with
chaulmoogro oil. The treatment. how
ever, was attended with many difficult
ties and could not be carried out in all
cases. At this point the public health
service enlisted the cooperation of Pro-
fessor L. T.. Dean. head of the chemical
department of the College of Hawaii
and president of that institution, sug-
costing that attempts be made either
to isolate the active constituent of this
drug, or to devise means for making its
continued administration feasible. The
latter has been accomplished by prepar-
ing what is know as an ethyl ester"
from the chattanooga oil. The treat
ment has been carried on at the leprosy
investigation station az kalihi, Hawaii,
the work being directed by Dr. j. T.
Mcdonald. director Of the station. The
results Of the treatment thus far have
been so satisfactory that lepers come
willingly for treatment. recent in
spection by Hawaiian health authori-
ties failing to disclose a single secreted
case Of leprosy. Following a course of
treatment, extending over about
year, IS lepers, treated according to the
new method. were paroled in October,
1919. Up to now they have remained
free from disease. AT the present time
the treatment has been administered
rnly at the receiving station. but il is
hoped to provide facilities for the treat
lnr also Of lePers in the leper colony at
Molokai.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Explaining Why An Oiled Rag Catches
Fire AWAY From Heat.

Fire departments are constantly call
ing attention to the large number OF
fires caused by spontaneous combus
ton. These are especially common il
-four mills and grain elevators, but
there are also many in factories OF
every class. And many of the fires list
ec as cause unknown" are Aundoubted
ly to be added to those due to sponta
neous combustion.
The bureau of agriculture, United
States department of agriculture, re-
Gently had an exhibit at which an ex.
plosion of flour was produced by spon-
taneous combustion in model elepa
tor. The men in charge of the govern
ment's exhibit were asked to tell why
under certain circumstances -four, coal
or an oiled rag catches fire without con
tact with anything hot. Here is the
explanation.
The carbon, which is the principal
constituent of -four, coal or oil com
bines with the oxygen in the air. 1t is
true chemical combination and, like
most such conclusions, produces heat
The heat encourages the process to be-
come more rapid, thus increasing the
heat, until the point is reached at which
it bursts into flames, In connection
with this process a few strange
features have been observed that
are difficult to explain For in
stance, if the air be moist seem
ingly moisture helps the oxidation.
Again, if the substance oxidizing be in
ton takes place more perfectly; seem
a closed or confined place, especially if
this place be dark, the process is more
certain. This seems contrary to what
one should expect, but it is fact that
a greasy rag thrown into dark corner
Of a closed closet is more likely to catch
Gre than if it be left in IN open place.
OF course what seems like sponta-
neous combustion is not always spon-
sous combustion is not always spon-
,aneous, but is caused by an electric
park igniting the already heated or
,xidizing matter. That is why in flour

ions in good order, for the tiniest |

TREATMENT OF
NEURASTHENIA

Since the recent epidemic of infu
enza there has been an increasingly
large number of cases of neurasthenia
a disease which is due to the exhaus.
ton of the nervous system. The neu.
rasthcnic feels an abnormal irritabil.
ity and there is weakness of the
nerve centers which regulate the or
eanic functions. The memory fails
sleep is fitful and disturbed, the victim
is fault finding and suspicious, food
does not agree with him and indiges-
ton occurs frequently.
All the symptoms Of neurasthena
indicate the need of tonic that is
free from alcohol and opiates. If the
blood is built up nourishment is carried
to the exhausted nerves and the gen
eral health is restored An example of
the success of this treatment is af-

CONTRACT LABOR PROBLEMS.
Only Three Importers Were Prosecuted
Last Year.

The number of contract lebor cases
which came to the attention of the
United States bureau of immigration
during the year of 1919 was unusually
large, but they were of such a nature
that legal proceedings against import.
ers were instituted in only three cases
Investigations OF many reported or sus-
/ pected violations were made by the bu-
reau, and 80 aliens who were found to
have entered the country in violation
of the contract labor clause were de.
ported, as compared with SO during the
year 1918. During the year ia alien
contract laborers arriving at United
States ports were denied admission as
compared with 474 in 1918.
The bureau says that it has always
been possible under the law to import
skilled laborers. provided unemployed
laborers of like kind could not be found
in this country, but the immigration
act of 1917 goes step further and pro-
vides that the necessity for importing
such labor may be determined by the
secretary of labor before Importation is
made. The law stipulates that permits
sion to bring in laborers under this pro-
vision may be granted only after a
hearing and investigation into each
case, and such investigations have
formed an important part of the work
of the contract labor division during
the year.
Concrete examples of the operation
OF the new law are found in certain
Canadian border cases, where it has
been a. long established custom for
employers to bring more or less skilled
laborers from Canada for seasonable
work Formerly these cases oecasioned
much trouble. Many suits were in
stigatei against importers. but con
victions were infrequent and the prac
tice persisted. Under the new law,
however, some employers who prac |
tically ignored the contract labof law
are requested first to present applica
tion TO the department of labor. On !
the whole, results have been satisfac
tory, the bureau says, although a more |
general observance of the rules would |
still save much embarrassment and de- |
lay and enable many applicants to
avoid useless trips TO this country. The
bureau adds that too often the blame |
is placed upon the the government
when it should be borne by the i'm
porter
The principle alluded to under the
heading of contract labor was utilized
in a much broader way through the
admission during the year
of 1918 of 20,643 Mexieans and a small
Ter number Of Bahama Island negroes
for emergency labor during the war.
This was accomplished under authori.
.y OF section three of the law, which
,onfers upon the secretary of labor dis
'retionary power to admit temporarily
,liens who are otherwise inadmissible.
This waiver was strictly a war meas.
ire and met labor need which could
lot have been supplied otherwise. The
privilege was terminated at the close
" the calendar year 1918 except with
-egard to certain classes of farm labor.
rhe existing arrangement as to these
continued until the close of the year
