MICA DEPOSITES OF THE
UNITED STATES

In the present electrical age
mica supplies a need not filled by any
other substance. Its nonconductiv-
. ity of electricity and heat and its
toughness, fexibility, and elasticity
make it invaluable in the electrical
manufacturing industry Before 1t
was so employed it was used prob
ably used chiefly in glazing, for which
large sheets of mica with perfect
cleavage were required. Much mica
that was then regarded as waste is
now used in electrical and other in
dustries by making 1t intp mica
board" or built-up mica. Imperfect
sheets of mica are also ground and
used in the decoration of wall paper,
in the manufacture of lubricants, in
fancy paints, rubber goods, nodded
mica, and roofing papers, for covering
steam pipes, and in many other ways
The only commercially valuable
varieties of mica mined in the United
States, according to the Department
of the Interior, Geological Survey are
biotite and muscovite. Biovite is
dark mineral, and its sheets are less
flexible and elastic than those Of mus
covite. Muscovite is transparent or
light colored when split into thin
sheets Mica mined for commercial
use is commonly found in rough block
form or "books," as they are called
in the Western States. The outer
shell of some of these blocks is partly
crushed and broken and must be re-
moved before the blocks can be cleav-
ed into sheets. Many of these sheets
are less than a thousandth OF an inch
thick, and some of the thin splittlngs
prepared in India measure only about
one sixteen-hundredtn OF an inch.
Mica is of widespread occurrence in
the United States, deposites OF COM
mercial value or of promise have been
found in at least 20 states. The COM
mercial forms of mica in the United
States, muscovite and biotite, are
found in pegmatite, coarse-grained
granite rock that is by some called
giant granite" Mica-bearing peg
Matte is confined to areas Of crystal
line rock, so that mica deposltes |
should generally be looked for only |
in such areas, which are found in the |
United States in the eastern Appala-
chan region from Alabama to New |
York and the New England States; in |
northern Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota, and the region including
corners of Minnesota, Iowa, and part
of South Dakota; in the Rocky Noun
tain region from New Mexico to Mon
tana and in many smaller more or
less isolated areas in nearly all the
Western States from Texas to Cali
fornia and Washington. These crys-
talline rocks were formed at least
5000 feet below the surface, and the
pegmatites, which generally consist
of shoots from the granite rocks,
were formed deep in the earth's crust.
Any region in which mica-bearing
rocks are found must therefore have
been greatly deformed and subjected !
to long erosion, which carried away
the 5000 or more feet Of strata that ]
overlap them and thus brought them s
to the surface.

LOVE

By Dr.. Frank Crane
Probably the most interesting thing in
the world is love.
On the one hand, nature has implanted
the mating instinct very deeply in all the
higher forms of animal life, and, on the
other hand, the Bible informs us that love
is the greatest thing in the world, and that
God Himself is Love Thus both from the
flesh and from the spirit comes the confirma-
tion of the Importance of love. A few re-
Elections upon the subject may be of interest.
1. True love is the one functioning of
our nature that demands all of our person
atty If one loves really he must love with
every hair of his head, and every thought
of his mind.
2 To women love means more than to
men, because the woman is the vessel which
holds the destiny of the race.
3. Love is partly inherited from our beast
ancestry, hence simple desire is crude and
dangerous until it has been transformed by
the spirit. The salvation of love is to ideal
ize it.
4. The desire of the flesh is not evil of
itself. 1t is the soil from which love springs.
Without the earth in which, to grow there
can be no lily.
5. The force of passion is no indication Of
it's duration.
g. In love, if nowhere else, it is more
blessed to give than to receive. One of the
best foods of love is sacrifice.
{. jealousy mas nOCn1ng TO 40 Win love.
1t is merely wounded vanity. It is a mistake
to say that one would not be jealous were
he not in love. Jealousy can exist where
there is no love, but merely pride of posses
sion or position.
s. There can be no love without faith.
If perfect love casts out fear, it also casts
out doubt.
8. Love never be entirely forgotten.
10. The stronger any force, the more it
needs discipline. Love, being the strongest
force of all forces, is that which needs dis
cipline most. Love which knows no control,
which is not criticised by the intelligence and
which will not form for itself wholesome hab-
it's is as dangerous as the torrent which will
not stay in the river bed or the fire which be-
comes a conflagration.
IL. Love is the eye of the mind. There
can be no clear vision Or deep understand
ing without it.
IL. Love is the reason for existence. With
out it life has no meaning.
10. Love is the only unanswerable proof
Of Immortality
IA. We cannot hope ever to ratiOnalize
love wholly, because it is higher thing than
the intelligence. Love must always he lit
tie unreasonable and contain a certain ele-
ment of danger, because love is life, and
without adventure and danger there is no
life.

No. 54.-The Common Man

WYE HAVE been sketching in the last
wv four chapters the growth of civilized
states out of the primitive Neolithic
agriculture that began in Mesopotamia perhaps
5000 years ago. 1t was at first horticulture
rather than agriculture; it was done with the
hoe before the pillow, and at first it quite
supplementary to the sheep, goat, and cattle
tending that made the Giving" of the family
tribe.
We have traced the broad outlines of the
development in regions of exceptional fruit
fulness of the first settled village communities
into more popuous towns and cities, and the
growth of the village shrine and the village
medicine man into the city temple and the
city priesthood.
THE GROWTH OF EMPIRE
We have noted the beginnings Of organized
war, first as a Pickering between villages, and
then as a more disciplined struggle between
the priest king and god of one city and those
of another. Our story has passed on rapidly
from the first indications of conquest and en-
pire in Sumer 5000 or 1000 B. c., to- the
spectacle of great empires growing up,
with roads and armies with inscriptions
and written docum 3nts, with educated priest
hoods and Kings and rules sustained by
a tradition already ancient
We have traced in broad outline the appear
ance and conflicts and requirements of these
empires of the great rivers. We have directed
attention in particular, to the evidence of a
development Of still wider political ideas as We
find it betrayed by the actions and utterances
Of such men as Nabonidus and Amenophis ~.
1t has been an outline Of the accumulations
of human experience for ten or fifteen thou
sand years, vast space of time in comparison
with all subsequent history, but a brief Pc
riod when we measure it against the success
sion of endless generations that intervene
between us and the first rude flint-using hui
man creatures of the Pleistocene dawn.
But for these last four chapters we have
been writing almost entirely not about man.
kind generally, but only about the men who
thought, the men who could draw and read
and write, the men who were altering their
world. Beneath their activities what was the
life of the mute multitude?
WITHOUT VOICE OR WILL
The life of the common man was, OF course,
affected and changed by these things, just as
the lives of the domestic animals and the face
of the cultivated country were changed but for
the most part it was a change suffered and
not change in which the common man upon
the land had any voice or will.
Reading and writing were not yet for the
likes Of him. He went on cultivating his

THE OUTLINE OF HISTORY
BY H. G. WELLS

patch, loving his wife and children, beating
his dog and tending his beasts, grumbling at
hard times, fearing the magic of the priests
and the power of the gods, desiring little more
EXCEPT to be left alone by the powers above
him. So he was jim 1000 BIC; so he VISA,
unchanged in nature and outlook in the time
of Alexander the Great; so over the greater
part of the world remains today
He got rather better tools, better seeds, bet
ter methods, slightly sounder house, he sold
his produce in a more organized market as
civilization progressed. A certain freedom
and a certain equality passed out of human
life when men ceased to wander. Men paid in
liberty for safety, shelter and regular meals.
By imperceptible degrees the common man
found the patch he cultivated was not his
own; it belonged to the god; and he had to
lay fraction of his produce to the god Or
the god had given it to, the king who exacted
his rent and tax. the king had given it
to an official, who was the lord Of the COM
mon man. And sometimes the god or the king
or the noble had work to be done, and then
the common man had to leave his patch and
work for his master.
THE BEGINNING OF THE PEASANT
How far the patch he cultivated was his
own was never very clear to him. In ancient
Assyria the land seems to have been held as a
sort Of freehold and the Occupier paid taxes;
in Babylonia the land was the gods, and he
permitted the cultivator to work thereon. In
Egypt the temples of Pharaoh-the-god or the
mobiles under Pharaoh were the owners and
rent receivers.
But the cultivator was not a slave; he was
a peasant and only bound to the land in so far
that there was nothing else for MIN to do, but
cultivate, and nowhere else for him to so. He
lived in a village or town, and went out to his
work. The village, to begin with, was oft
en- merely big household of related people
under a patriarch headman, the early town
group of householders under its elders.
There was no process OF enslavement as
civilization grew, but the headmen and leaderly
men grew in power and authority, and the COM
mon men did not keep pace with them, and
fell into tradition OF dependence and subor-
dination.
On the whole the common men were probably
well content to live, under lord king or god
and obey their bidding. 1t was safer. 1t was
easier All animals-and man is no exception
begin life as dependents Most men never
shake themselves loose from the desire for lead
ing and protection.

Just Among Ourselves

The Tri-Weekly received one New Years
greeting that was a benediction (Which
means good words" you know for the
work done last year and an inspiration for
the New Year. Here it is, just as it was
written:
ga year ago this past November I entered
into your puzzle contest, sending along with
my list Of answers $1.00 for a years sub
scription to The Tri-Weekly Journal.
81 wasn't one of the lucky winners; never
theless just feel that should tell you how
much 1 have enjoyed the dear old Journal
during the past year. I have found it to be
one of the best all-around papers published in
the south, and anybody paying $1.00 yearly
for this paper receives many times HE
moneys worth.
$50 I am again sending in my subscription
for another year, and on this glad New Years
day. let me wish to- all The Journal staff the
most prosperous and happy year they have
ever had
Respectfully,
"MRS. ERWIN HAMPTON,
Mineral Bluff, Ga"
Now, isn't that calculated to make us feel
good and to inspire to work harder than ever
before?
We hope that one year from now Mrs.
Hampton may be able to say:
'"The Atlanta Tri-Weekly Journal last year
was better than ever"
How do you readers like the improved
Typography of our paper?
Fine type is hard on the eyes of most per-
sons, especially those who are not as young
as they once were and we have discontinued
the use of the smaller type, known as agate,
except in the market news where there is so
much vital information to- be published that
the use of larger print would mean leaving
out something important.
The general body type of the paper, known
technically as minion, we have not changed.
We use an excellent and readable face but
have increased the spacing between the lines
which gives the effect of using a larger face.
This has been done without the sacrifice of
any news We are endeavoring to tell our
news in more concise manner, without omit
ing any important facts!
We hope that all of our readers, especially
the men folks, will read carefully the articles
we are publishing on cooperative marketing.
There's nothing to it-co-operative market
ing is going to Tevolutionize our southern
farm life. The principles have been tested out
through many years and, as we have said so
often, when properly, applied they lead to
prosperity.
This does not mean that all cooperative
will succeed, or that they will abolish the
necessity for work. They are not cure-alls.
They must be formed with judgment and
must be managed by reliable people who
know their business. But when those condi-
lions are fulfilled, they will bring more
money in for the farmers products than he
would have got otherwise.
The difference is enough in nearly all COM
modities to give the farmer fair profit on
his years work.
