Iceland Soar.

One Of the most interesting Of ma
lures processes Is that by which
cracks In volcanic rocks are filled In
with materials brought up In hot solu-
lions from the bowels of the earth. 1t
is by this means that "veins" and
slodes" of gold and silver are formed.
In the eastern part Of Iceland there
Is locality where such cracks In
rocks have been filled In with pure
carbonate Of lime which forms clear
and beautiful crystals. These crystals,
called Iceland SPAR" have peculiar
property of "polarizing' light. which
makes them valuable for use In con-
nection with microscopes and other
optical instruments.
Within the last few years deposits
Of Iceland spar have been discovered
In Sweetgrass county. Montana, and In
the Warner range near Cedarville,
Calf. Efforts are being made to de-
yelop them.--Philadelphia Ledger.

Retaining Used Paper.

Though chemical processes Tor the
reclamation of printed book paper
have been in use for some time. their
efficiency is reduced by the fact that
the mechanical pulping forces the
ink permanently into the f1bers. says

Of ten pounds Of borax, ten pounds Of
soap, two gallons Of kerosene and two
gallons OF pine oil Is used for soaking

stock apart gently. with minimum

CONS were baptized. During Doctor

dollars of the outstanding debt OIL
