The Natural Resources Intel- ligence Service of the Depart- ment of the Interior, Ottawa, 8RY8i~-- 7, Few people in Ontario realize the extent to which non-metallic minerals enter into the produc- tion of some of our more com- mon articles of use. In the manufacture of prepared roof- ings and mineral wallboard, for instance, five factories are en- gaged in Ontario. «During the year ending March last these companies used, among others, the following quantities of non- metallic . minerals: actinolite, 100,000 pounds; asbestos, 181, 000 pounds; asbestos sand, 118,- 000 pounds; asphalt, 12,912,456 pounds; ground dolomite, 2,609, 806 pounds; ground feldspar, 42,344 pounds; ground magne- site, 687,772 pounds; marble dust, 2,100 pounds; ground mica, 230,000 pounds; silica sand, 1, 792,660 pounds; slate granules, 9,298,000 pounds; and tale, 1,- 816,705 pounds. With the ex- ception of the silica sand all these non-metallic minerals are of Canadian origin, This line of industry is one which is rapidly éxpanding, and will consequently 'require in- |" creased quantities of these ma- terials. Many. other manufac- tures make use of non-metallic minerals, notably the paint in- dustry, pottery, stoneware, por- celain and enamélware making, rubber goods, soaps, and toilet preparations, ete. Road-making also requires enormous quanti- ties, as does also building con- struction. A despatch from London says:-- The Town Council of Bath, in which Labor members predominate, has pro- tested against the day school hymn books which have been in use many years in County Council schools. There are hymns saying Providence has de- fined the status of the rich and the poor. The Bath Councillors object to a stanza in one hymn especially, as follows: The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate; God made them high and lowly, And ordered their estate. The Councillors say the hymn is out of keeping with present tendencies in' Gréat Britain, when Labor is on the threshold of assuming government. It is expected other town councils having a heavy labor membership will follow suit. ---------- ait Prof. J. G.
