SMOKING IN BANKS.
Forbidden While the Door* Are Open, But
ftennitted After They Are Ctoeed.
'"'Washington Star: "I wish.yoti
would ride up and down in the elevator
with me a few times arid hear how
some of the people in the building let me
know they are waiting for the car," said
an elevator man in an up-town office
building to a Star man. The reporter
was not very busy, and complied with
the request, with the following result.
He rode to the basement in the car
and then started up.
"Going up," sail a burly specimen of
humanity, as the car shot to the main
floor.
"That duflfer knows we have to stop
at this floor, but he always signals,"
said the conductor. A number of peo
ple boarded the car, and it started on
its journey to the tenth floor.
As it reached the second floor and
did n5t stop, a young woman in the
back of the car said, "Oh, don't you
stop at all of the floors? I want to get
off at the second."
The elevator man obligingly dropped
the elevator back to the second floor
and let her out.
"Fourth floor," said the burly speci-.
men.
"Let me off at the third first, please,"
said a timid-looking man.
Both requests complied with, the car
again started up and completed the up
ward journey with nothing out of the
ordinary occurring. On the down trip
arthe ninth floor a little lady raised her
hand in signal, as though she»,was stop
ping a street car. The car stopped and
she got aboard.
"We have to watch for that as much
as for calls," said the elevator man.
"Wait a minute," sang out a stenog
rapher at the seventh.
"Sixth floor down," and the car stop
ped to admit a noted criminal lawyer.
"Down five," and another attorney
got on.
"That's the proper way to stop a
car," said the elevator man, admiring
ly.
"Stop here," floated to the elevator
man's ears as he reached the third, and
he stopped to take on a business man.
"Whoa," came in a stentorian tone
from the second, and the car "whoad"
to take on a man in a wide-brimmed
hat,.
"Thinks I'm a buckin' broncho/' said
the conductor sotto voce. *''.
"That's what I get about 500 times a
day, and there are a lot more expres
sions that beat those," was the farewell
of the elevator man as the reporter left
him and made a dive for a street cAr'.
V PRODICAL WASTE.
"Whoever makes two ears of corn
to grow where only one grew before
deserves well of, mankind and is of
service to his country." That Jonathan
Swift spoke for all time when he wrote
those words is a fact that will be ap
preciated by those who study the Co*
lumbiia (Tenn.) geologic folio, recently
issued from the press of the United
States Geological Surrey. 'It is th£
work of Messrs. C. Willard Hayes and
Edward O. Ulrich, who, in describing
the mineral resources of the Columbia
quadrangle, have t^fcen pains to em
phasize the limited extent of its most
important product, the rock phos
phates that are helping to make Ten
nessee's geologic fame. The report has,
therefore, great economic interest, in
that it may be expected to call to the
attention of those engaged in the de
velopment of this important resource
of the state the almost criminal waste
fulness of the mining methods now in
vogue.
Surely no subject can be of more
vital interest to mankind than the ex
haustion of the soil and the possibili
ties of its re-enrichment. It might,
therefore, behoove the American peo
ple of today to imitate tlie wise policy
of the ancient Peruvians, who, appre
ciating the agricultural value of the
guano formed on their shores from the
excrements of sea birds, enacted laws
that forbade the slaughter of the birds.
The census bulletin of 1900 shows
however, that, owing to the final ex
haustion of supplies, the importation of
gnano into the United States has now
almost ceased. The majority of the
478 fertilizer factories in the country
depend on the chemical treatment of
phosphate rock for their product. How
important, then, that the limited nature
of the supply be fully realized. The
fact that the need for fertilizers grows
with the advance of civilization makes
all the more imperative a wise conser
vation of this valuable deposit. It is
only ten years since high grade phos
phate rock was discovered in Tennes
see. The first commercial shipment of
this rock was made in 1894, and in the
eight years up to the end of 1902 about
2,200,000 tons had been marketed, which
had a value aft tne mines of nearly $6,
000,000. Phosphate rock has thus be
come, next to coal, the most impor
tant mineral product of Tennessee.
In the United States, deposits of
t'ock sufficiently high in'phosphate to
be commercially valuable for the man
ufacture of fertilizers are confined to
a narrow belt along the Atlantic Coast
in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida,
and a small district in western middle
Tennessee. The latter district, embrac
ing portions of Maury, Hickman, and
Lewis Counties, is practically all cov
ered by the Columbia folio. Five phos
phate formations are found in this
field, and as two of the formations con
tain each three four separate beds,
no fewer than ten phosphate horizons
are distinguishable within the Columbia
quadrangle. Of the five phosphate
bearing fortmations. four are ordovi
cian in age and carry brown residual
phosphates, while the fifth is of de
vonian age and contains several var
ieties of black or blue bedded phos
phate. The devonian phosphates differ
from the ordovician phosphates, which
are the result of the leaching of a phos
phate limestone,, in being simply beds
unchanged from their original form,at»4
composition except by such alteration
as results from the process of console
(fetion to which all deeply buried scdi~
ments have been subjected Tm|
therefore 4uwkr wd
ft much
lgTg!wl!^?!!W!*l^ll'W!^^
er structure than most of the ordovi
cian phosphates, and are richer in phos
phoric acid than the unleached ordo
vician limestones. They are mined, not
like the leached phosphates, by strip
ping, but like coal, by the much more
expensive method of driving tunnels.
The maps in the folio show the exact
location and, extent of the deposits
which have commercial value, and also
the extent of the various phosphatic
formations in outcrop and beneath the
surface. Why these formations contain
valuable deposits in some places and
not in others is a question that can be
answered only by a consideration of
the entire geologic history of the re
gion, such as the authors have here
attempted. The report affords an ex
cellent example of the way in which the
science of paleontology, generally re
garded as having no practical applica
tion whatever, is absolutely essential
for the solution of some economic prob
lems.
In addition to its economic features,
the folio contains important new con
clusions regarding the purely scientific
questions relating to the geologic his
tory of this region. It is a sale publi
cation and may be obtained for the
nominal price of 25 cents by application
to the director, United States Geologi
cal Survey, Washington, D. C.
