Collecting Of Minerals
Makes Popular Hobby

In your wanderings over the coun-
tryside you may encounter some
one equipped with knapsack and
prospector's pick, tapping quarry
walls, smashing fieldstones or
searching through mine waste piles
in quest Of fine mineral specimens,
writes William D. Quinn in Nature
Magazine. Occasionally the cry of
"Eureka!" may be heard, and lead
one to some enraptured advocate
of the hammer gloating over prize
whose value is apparent only to him
self.
Mineralogy draws its devotees
from all walks of life. Business
man or woman, teacher, lawyer,
doctor, chemist or clerk-any will
sneak away on the least excuse to
spend an afternoon at the rock pile.
To become an enthusiastic crock
hound" one needs only to see good
collection, attend meeting of any
mineral club, or, indeed, merely
catch the fever from one who has
already been bewitched with the
fascination of mineral collecting.
Once in the fold the newcomer
should supply himself with good
book. After reading such a book
and following its suggestions, one is
ready to begin boarding specimens.
The bugaboo Of all collectors is
providing room to house the prizes.
If you will have many visitors an
exhibition case is the thing; other
wise cabinet of drawers will prove
satisfactory. A jewelers. or Doctors
glass case with glass shelves is best,
although a bookcase may serve the
purpose. In a cabinet Of drawers
much room will be saved if they
are shallow.

81 VOLUNTEER FIREMEN TAKE
DEPUTY MARsHALs' COURSE

Baltimore, August 28-With thir-
ty-one members of County Volun-
teer Ftiremen In attendance, the
two-day course of instruction for
deputy fire marshals, held under
the auspices of the Fire Extension
Bureau, University of Maryland, at
College Park, gave promise of great
benefits for the State of Maryland
in the matter of fire prevention.
AS result of the course, appoint
ments Of Deputy Fire Marshals in
the various counties will be made
on the basis of ratings by Chief j.
w. Just of the Fire Extension Blu
reau and recommendations of the
Maryland Volunteer Firemen's As
ISOLATION.
Speakers at the two-day course
included State Insurance Commits
sioner John B. Centrum, Chief Just
Deputy Insurance Commissioner
Hazelton A. Joyce, and J. Bruce
Bielaski, assistant manager of the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers, and formerly Chief of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation. The
last named, in addition to discuss
ing the cooperation between Ma
tional Board Arson Division and the
State Insurance Department, gave
some most interesting data on arson
fires, Investigations and evidence.
Commissioner Centrum expressed
himself as much encouraged by the
interest shown in the States pro-
gram to prevent fires and save prop.
ty and human life. He stated that,
prior to the complete survey of pub
lie buildings to be made by the new
ly appointed special deputy mar
shals, a number of such properties
already had been inspected, and that
the officials in charge readily agreed
to carry out the recommendations
made by the Insurance Commits
sioner's Office.
Much interest was shown by
those attending the sessions in the
work as outlined by the various
speakers. Several hours each day
were devoted to general discussions
and questions and answers. 1t was
brought out in the discussions that
Maryland is far behind the majority
of other states in fire prevention,
and in the establishment of rules
and regulations for the protection of
property and life against fire.

Bias Relief From Italy
Now in Toledo Museum

OF all the bas-reliefs from the
italian Renaissance, the est. Cecil
ia," by Desiderio da Settignano is
perhaps the best known and most
widely admired. This famous sculp-
ture has been brought to America,
through Sir Joseph Duveen, from
the collection Of the eleventh earl
of Wemyss. With the aid Of the
Edward Drummond Libbey fund it
has been acquired by the Toledo
museum of art.
Dating from the middle of the Fiji
teenth century, the relief has been
known only through an early and
imperfect cast from which thou
sands of replicas and photographs
have been made. It's great popu-
larity has resulted in spite of these
imperfect reproductions. Now for
the first time in five hundred years
the original of this masterpiece will
be placed on exhibition for the en-
joyment of the public at large. Pre-
viously it has been jealousy pre-
served in private collections.
Originally in the collection of the
great Brunaccini-C ompagni palace
in Florence, Italy, it passed to a
prominent Italian collector and
thence to Samuel WOODBURY., of Lon
don. In 1854 it was acquired by
the ninth earl of Wemyss 'of Cos
ford House, Edinburgh. It remained
in the House of Wemyss until its re-
cent trip to America.
It would have been beyond the
widest imagining Of Desiderio da
Settignano that his low relief would
some day reside in a thriving in
dustrial and cultural city, four thou
sand miles to the west. For in the
days when Desiderio worked in the
studio of Donatello, Columbus was
not yet born. Yet so high was the
perfection of the best Italian art in
the Fifteenth century that the
delicate outline and wonderfully
subtle modelling of the surface in
Desiderio's est. Cecilia" is virtually
unrivaled today. Modern artists,
unable to do the same thing better,
have turned away from refined,
naturalistic detail.

HITCH-HIKING PEST

The hitch-hiking pest Is again
the object of motorists ire.
Many complaints have reached
the Keystone Automobile Club lately
about the highway thumb-jerkers,
motorists declaring that the impor-
tunities of the pests are not only
annoying but frequently obnoxious.
Curses and coarse jibes often are
hurled at drivers who refuse to stop
at the behest of free ride-grabbers.
George E. Keneipp, Manager OF
the Club, declared that so long as
some motorists give hitch-hikers a
lift, SO long will this form Of para
site continue to thrive. Motorists, it
is asserted, have it well within their
own power to squelch the pest. I'm
animous refusal of drivers to pick
up the ride moochers would soon
put an end to the practice.
'There is no reason why a man
who buys an automobile and pays q
heavy tax to operate it should feel
under any obligation to give trans
portation to any ride beggar who
makes the request with jerk of
the thmub," he said. "The hitch
hiker who confidently waggles his
thumb at motorists wouldn't think
of getting a ride on street car or
train by the same means because
he knows it wouldn't work."
Warning is given by the Club
that motorists frequently have been
repaid for their kindness with a
clout ON the back of the head and
robbed of car or money" Others have
found themselves defendants in
damage suits because of injury to
the self-invited guests. Aside from
these serious considerations, motor
lists are jeopardized by the appear
ance of the mixers on the highways.
Cars often are forced to swerve
sharply to avoid them, and crashes
with approaching vehicles some
times resulted.

STATISTICS SHOW INCREASE IN
PRESBYTERIAN ENRoIIMENI

An increase during the past year
of 24,361 in the communicate mem
bership of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States Of America is
reported in the annual statistics of
the church made public by the Rev.
DR.. William Barrow Pugh, stated
clerk of the Presbyterian General
Assembly.
The total communicate member
ship Is now 1,978,O95, according to
DR.. Pugh. The figures given in the
annual statistical report cover the
year ended March 81, 1899.
All Presbyterian membership sta
tistics are based solely on the num-
Der of communicates remaining in
full standing, according to the strict
rules of the church relating to
membership. They are based neith-
er on the number of baptized MEM
bers nor on the Presbyterian popu-
lation. This broader constituency Of
the church is estimated at 5000, 900.
In addition to the net communi-
cant membership of 1,978,095, the
church includes 1881 ordained
clergymen. The Sunday School
membership is 1,495,038. This is an
increase of 11,847 over last year.
Contributions of the 8,794 Presby-
terrain churches totaled $39,902,280.
This figure represents decrease Of
$648,S28 from the year 1937-38.
Contributions to benevolence OBJ
jects and to current expenses of the
churches showed no definite change
during the year.
With local churches situated in
every state in the Union, the Pres
byterian Church in the United
States of America continued during
the past year to be, as it has been
since its formal organization early
in the 18th century, the national
Presbyterian body. The 1874
churches are supervised by AZ
synods and 276 Presbyteries, and
have 51,726 ruling elders and 24.890
deacons.
The per capita giving Of the
Church during the year was $20.65.
