WHITE MICA

White mica, or muscoyite, which
is relatively rare material in leaves
Of great dimensions, is much in de-
mand as higll-voltage insulator for
electric currents. Large sheets Of
mica may come as high as $4,000 to
$4,000 a ton. An average price is
$500 a ton for Canadian micas,
which enjoy q sort of monopoly of
this industry. The deposits occur
in connection with the pegmatites
(coarsely crystalized granites). They
have the fault of being very irregu-
lar, but there are often found, as ac-
cessory deposits, rare earths, whose
normal occurrence is in the same
rocks, such as tantalum, thorium
and cleveite, which contains above
20 per cent of uranium, besides
proportion of radium.

oliver Wendell Holmes.

DR.. Cutler Sy1nes, the well-known
alienist, said at dinner in Chi

II think that the writings of my
confrere, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
were overrated. Why, what was the
man but a punster, after all?
Sand there's nothing easier than
punning. Suppose, for instance, |
were describing the condition of my
patients la Holmes.
"The astronomer I'd say, rs
looking up, and the cobbler is mend
ing. The editor, however, keeps
on declining. The dentist will pull
through, but the banker is failing.
The butcher is nothing but bones.
Jag convict is in for it. The pugil-
iss shows striking improvement.
The actor is on the last stage. The
colonel is rallying. But the cashier,

NEZPERCE CHAUTAUQUA JUNE 1918
LINE HAS BECOME HISTORIC
Survey Made by Mason and Dixon
a Century and Half Ago Still
Matter Of interest.

Mason and Dixon's line, between
Pennsylvania and Maryland, never
had anything to do originally with
the question of slave and free states,
but achieved an accidental associa-
ton at the time of the Missouri
Compromise in 1920, when John
Randolph in congress referred to it
as separating freedom from slavery;
and after that it was commonly re-
ferred to in all controversies on the
slave question. The line, commonly
known as the line between the North
and the South, runs on parallel 80
degrees 40 minutes 1868 seconds, and
should be distinguished from the
line Of the Missouri Compromise on
parallel Sc degrees 80 minutes.
Some time age the line was sur
veyed for the third time. The sur
Vsy was for the purpose of restor-
ing to their places many of the his
tOric monuments along the line, and
it is said that they were all recov-
cred and put in their proper places.
The first survey was made by Charles
Mason and jeremiah Dixon between
1868 and 1857 at the instance Of the
Lords Baltimore, proprietors OF
Maryland, and the Penn family, pro-
prietors Of Pennsylvania. The line
was $50 miles long. At the end
Of every fifth mile a stone was
planted, bearing the arms of the
Penn family on one side and on the
other the arms of the Baltimore
family. The intermediate mile
stones were marked simply with ?.

EXPLAINS LAPSE or MEMORY
Common Foroetfulness Of Names
Nothing TO Worry About, Accord
Ing to Investigator.

Many persons are especially for
getful with regard to names. They
are embarrassed to find that they
cannot, on the spur of the moment,
recall the name Of an acquaintance
or that of some familiar object, al
though in other respects their mem
cries are not treacherous. A dis
tinguished Investigator, in discuss
ing such defects, recently offered
this explanation:
The more concrete the idea the
more readily is the word used TO
designate it forgotten when the
memory fails. We easily represent
persons and things to ourselves with
out their names. More abstract CON
ceptions, on the other hand, are at
tanned only with the aid Of words,
which alone give them their exact
shape in our minds. Hence verbs,
adjectiyes, pronouns, adverbs, prepo-
sitions and conjunctions are more
intimately related to thought than
nouns are and can be remembered
when nouns or names slip from the
mind Washington Star.

REAL SOURCE or MYTHOLOGY
Wonders Of Nature So Appealed to
Primitive Man That He consid.
cred Them Gods.

To primitive man so wonderful
an object as the sun, which made
the whole world bright when it APP
peared in the east and left the
whole world dark when it .disap-
peared in the west, was more than
human. So the idea grew up that
it was a god-one of the strongest
of the gods. A god could not walk
across the great stretch of sky be-
tween morning and evening, so he
was given a chariot with two, four
or six horses. True, his face and
form could not be seen, but that was
because his chariot, his raiment and
his crown we're so brilliant.
In time such stories were grouped
about every natural object. The rus
Ting of the leaves was but the MUIR
muring voice Of the goddess who
lived in the tree; the hurrying
stream was a nymph rushing to
join her lover, the sea; the stars
were virtuous people, placed by the
gods in the sky that their virtues
might never be forgotten. The sum
Of these stories which any people
built up for itself is its mythology.

SOME MARVELLOUS ECHOES
Chateau In Italy Has Probably the
Most Remarkable Example That
Has Been Discovered.

Among the most curious echoes 10
that of the chateau of Simonetta, in
Italy, which repeats the word
spoken as many as 40 times. A
French scientist says that in one
of the vaults of the Pantheon sit is
sufficient for the guide to strike a
sharp blow on the front of his coat
to awaken a noise nearly equal to
that of cannon" In ancient and
modern works number of in
stances of multiple echoes are mem
toned, the more or less surprising
effects of which may be questioned.
Among these was that at the tomb
of Metella, the wife of Chrispus,s
which it is alleged, repeated
whole verse of the Aeneid eight
times. Addison speaks Of an echo
which repeated the noise Of pistol
shot Sc times" The echo of Verdun
(probably destroyed during the late
war; was formed by two large
towers, about So meters apart, and
was said to repeat the same word
about dozen times. Tn the subter-
ranean chambers of the Great Pyra-
mid words are said to be repeated
ten times. At Woodstock park, in
there is an echo which re-
peats words of one syllable II times
by day and 20 by night.
