One Of the most interesting of ma

cracks in volcanic rocks are filed In
with materials brought up in hot so.
lutlOns from the bowels Of the earth.
1t Is by this means that "veins" and
"lodes" Of gold and silver are formed.
In the eastern part Of Iceland there
Is locality where such cracks In rocks
have been filed in with pure car
Donate Of lime which forms clear and
beautiful crystals. These crystals called
iceland SPAR" have a peculiar prop
erty of "pOlarizing" light, which makes
them valuable for use In connection
with microscopes and other optical
instruments.
Within the last few years deposits
OF Iceland spar have been discovered
In Sweetgrass county, Mont. and In
the Warner range near Cedarville, Cal
Efforts are being made to develop
them.

Suppose your wishes came true
what would you do about it?" voice
from above their heads inquired.
Scared into uprightness, the boys
looked about them-they had been
lying face down, in the Merton old
field, after gorging themselves with
blackberrles and wild plums. On be-
yond were gnarled old apple trees,
round-headed and Opaque with fine
netted, half-dead lower branches.
Starveling fruit dotted and blotched
the round heads--the turf-circles be-

than the main earth surface, told that

out had lain there through midday
chewing the cud, and bedded there at

dug from the trunk Of poplar lay up
side down under the tree nearest the
