Sterling mines Nos. 1 and 6 will produce the fuel, more men to be put to work in the former colliery the first of next month, when the con- ract orders will be started. Due to the bright outlook for the Barkerton Valley, its inhabitants naturally are rejoiced and thankful for the great relief from the financial depression that has existed there as well as in other parts of the north county in the past few years. Bakerton now has a Boostor Association with a membership of about 40 men and this organiza- tion will not stand still during the year of better business in their valley jjown, which numbers approximately 2,000 inhabitants.

DESCRIPTIVE TERMS OF THE STRUCTURE OF ROCK MASSES (By John Connelly) A close inspection of a piece of rock in the hand reveals its internal charac- teristics. If it be made up almost en- tirely of the same kind of matter, the rock is homogeneous. When its parti- cles are in grains, perceptible to the touch or plainly visible, the specimen is granular. Occasionally the material is arranged in fibers, as asbestos; it is then fibrous. When the fibers are distinct, long, fine crystals, it is said to be acicular (needlc-like.) A compact rock has its partic.es in close and firm proximity, but one which is fri- able permits of being crumbled. A porus specimen is full of holes, like pumice stone, but when the pores are small it is said to be cellular, or vesi- cular. Rocks are hard or soft, but beyond a general application these terms are not much is use. In mineralogy we find that much stress i5 laid on the com- parative hardness of minerals. Rocks which are composed of waler-worn pebbles cemented together are con- glomerate. If angular fragments take the place of the pebbles, a breccia is the result, which word is Italian for “fragment.” A pebble i5 a piece of min- eral matter worn round by the action of waiter. When the sea beach is not sand, but stones rounded by the waves, the accumulation of pebbles is a shin- gle. If the size of a pebble exceed a few pounds in weight it becomes a boulder. A stratum which has been deposited by aqueous agency is one of three characters. It is either of an arenace- ous quality, that is sandstone; is ar- gillaceous, that is clay, or it is lime- stone. In each of the great systems in which are classified, these three species of rock appear. Each system has its limestone, its sandstone, and its argillaceous rock, or clay beds. Sand, of which arenaceous rocks are composed, is properly small pariicles of quartz, which is the hardest con- stitutuent of ganite and therefore most successfully resists the process of at- trition. Quartz is pure silex, or flin:, and may at once be reconized in a specimen of granite as those clear, semi-transparent grains. When granite decomposes, these grains remain in- tact, or nearly so, for silex is most difficult to dissolve. Particles of sand are always round- ed, as if by the action of running water. Sandstone is an aggregate of these particles, which are held toge- ther in some cases without any ap- parent cement, but often calcareous or siliceous matter present in a small quantity, which binds the arana- ceous particles together. Sometimes clay, or oxide of iron forms this ce- ment, and to this latter substance the red color which frequently tints sand- stone is due. Some fine grained sand- stones are found which contain min- ute scales of shining hatter. This is mica, another constitution of granite, and such rocks are termed micaceous sandstones. These sandstones are found among the earlier formations. Grit is applied wo sandstones whose grains are very course. Argillaceous rocks —Darth whieh is sufficiently plastic to be kneaded by the hand is, in common language, a clay. Strickly speaking, clay is compos- ed of siliceous and aluminous parti- cles. Kaolin, or porcelain clay is the finest of the clays. Brick clays contains—silica, 49.44; alumina, 34.25; iron oxide, 7.74; lime 1.48; magnesia, 5.14, and water, 1.94.¢ All clays are formed by the fine disintegrated pariicles of water-worn rocks. Mud is matter also- formed of such particles, but it contains a mix- ture of animal or vegetable matter, or both. Shale is hardened clay, but if it be softened by water it will ex- hibit the plastic properties of that body. All clays when breathed upon emit a peculiar earthy smell. Calcareous rock.—All rocks of this description may be at once discovered by the application of a few drops of any acid. Effervescence ai one takes place, owing to the escape of carbonic acid gas which is always associated with lime, forming a carbonaie of that base. There are many varieties of lime- stone. Chalk is due to the incessant work of minute animalcules, which separate the lime from the sea to form their calcareou# coverings, mixed with the shells of larger inhabitants of the ocean. Marble is also carbonate of lime which has been submitted to the ac- tion of heat, and thereby rendered crystalline. Mountain limestone is so called because it appears in ranges of hills. It is very compact and dary colored. The walls in many parts of Ireland are built of this excellent mat- erial, which is found in great quanti- ty in that island. Oolite is a specie of limesione which appears jin little round grains, like fish eggs. Each of these grains has a particle of sand for a neucleus, round | which the limestone seems to have | congregated. When magnesia is pre- sent as much as 35 per cent in quan- tity, the rock is termed dolomite. When clay sand are mixed in a con- | siderable quantity with lime, a roam | is formed. When only a little sand | is present and the mixture is of a| more firm texture than a loam, it is | called a marl. | It is not a usual thing to find any limestone pure. They all contain an | admixture of foreign maiter. These are | the general charcteristics of the great | divisions of rocks. Luckily, aluminum is contained in | common clay, and in a great num- ber of rocks. The supply of this in-| gredient is practically unlimited in the | soil and rocks in the region of Nanty- | Glo. | is (Continued nex: week.) | e— en | JOSEPH C. EVEHART. | Lloyd N.
