The eaite with which mrrschaum
can be carved, it whiteness, and the
fine polish it lake with wax render
It especially suitable for elaborate
carving and artistic treatment in tne
manufacture of pipe. These pipe

through the meerschaum of the mix
ture of the nicotine from the tobacco
with the wax used In poli-diing the
pipe. An long an there is absorbed
wax in the tneerchaum the color of
the pipe will grow darker and with
continued smoking will become nearly
black. It i therefore necessary to
"fix" the color of the pipe when the
proper shade Is reached. The method
employed to accomplish this is in part
a trade aecret.
The manufacture of meerschaum
into pipes is a thriving Industry In
parts of Germany and Russia, em
ploying more than 3(100 workmen.
It is said that the supply of mersch
urn for this industry is becoming low
and the discovery of deposits of the
mineral in New Mexico Is therefore
interesting.
Two deposits of meerschaum have
been located In the upper Gila River
allcy, one about 23 miles east of
north of Silver City, the other at a
mine about 12 miles northwest of
Silver City.
Mr. Douglas D. Stcrrett, of the
United States Geological Survey,
visited the mine In October, 1907, and
has prepared report on the deposits
there which-has just tee published
by tfia Survey as a part of to advance
chapter of Bulletin No, 340, "Contri
butions to Economic Geology, 1907,"
The deposit lies In the bottom and
wulls of the canyon of Bear Creek,
ucciirlng in veins, lenses, team, and
bulls in limestone in both nodular and
massive form. The nodular meer
schaum thus far tested contain Iron
Mains and particles of grit and Is in
ferior to the meerschaum of Asia
Minor. The more compact, massive
material may perhaps be found free
from stains and of better quality.
Mr, Sterrctt's report sketches brief
ly the geological relations of (he dc
posits, describes the mode of occur
rence of the meerschaum, and per
sent the result of chemical and
physical tet and analyse of the
mineral,

In "The Toymaker", Astoria Theatre Tonight.
previous to his "arrival, Elsa, the
daughter of the toymaker, becoming
jealous of the attention bestowed on
the automaton by her father has des
troyed it and as the doll had been
made in her image she is taking its
place. Frederick and the toymaker
strike a bargain and the supposed doll,
with a card of instructions is turned
over to Frederick.
Frederick attempts to handle the
supposed doll and its mischievious
pranks provoke no end of laughter.
The next scene shows the home of the
rich Court Ballenberg, here Frederick
has brought the doll and all arrange
ments are made for the wedding. The
rich uncle and his eccentric old friend
Schwartzenbach are much pleased
with the prospective daughter-in-law,
who is not compelled to appear stiff
and awkward like when left alone
with the old gentleman. The wedd
ding over, Court Ballenberg is about
to shower his blessings on the happy
pair when the old toymaker appears
on the scene and informs Ballenberg
of the decription. A surprise, is how
ever, in store for the toymaker, his
wife rushing upon the scene exclaims,
"Stop the Wedding. Your daughter,
Elsa, and not the Doll has been mar
ried." The finale of the scene shows
everything in consternation, the par
ents of Elsa, the relatives of Frede
rick, and the wedding guests rushing
pell mell to the monastery where
Frederick has taken the doll. The
supposed doll in the midst of the last
scene in the second act shows the
monks who are horrified at some of
her pranks. The monk in charge has
ordered the doll taken to the wood
shed to be chopped up when the wed
ding guests rush on. The audience
has opportunities galore to split its
sides with laughter at the amusing
complications which ensue. Fred
erick, however, announcing that he
has since learned that his bride is not
the doll but a real woman of flesh and
blood, and loving her dearlyi decides
to forsake his calling. Ballenberg
after his anger is subdued informs the
monks that he will settle a fortune on
them; Peter, the foreman of the Toy
shop, arrives with information that
he has repaired Guggenheimer's
wounderful doll and everything ends
happily. Some beautiful scenery, the
effect in the first act showing the Toy
shop in full working order, being one
of the most effective placed on any
stage, gorgeous costuming, humor of
the most uproaring nature, and ear
tickling music interpreted as it is by
Mr. Healy's Company, Make "The
Toymaker a most delightful affair.
