• OOLITIC L1MKSTOXK.
Considerable cbinmcnt having
'been made Spon the eelecMon of
oolitic liaeitone from Indiana to
be used in tho construction of the
rieir State Cipltol, and it having
' been urged that tho stone is not up
to the standard prescribed by law,
(which it Is claimed provides for
marble or granite alone), we give
* below an extract from the report ol
the State Geologist, for the year
1882, regarding this stone
But by far the most beautiful
and valuable stone for architectural
purposes is the oolllio limestone-
, Tho supply is simply Inexhaustible,
as it lies in massive strata of from
twenty to seventy feet thick.
These strata are homogeneous,
equally strong in vertical, diagonal
: or borixontal scetions. The stone
comes from tho quarry so soft as
to bo readily worked by saw, chisel
or planing machine, wli|le on ex
posure it hardens to a strength of
flrom 10,000 to 12,000 pounds to
the square inch—a strength amply
sufficient to pusteln the weight of
the largest structure in the world.
In use It preseuts u handsome,
creamy brown appearance, gradual,
ly whitening with age. It is of
almost unprecedented purity, con
taining an average of 26.8 per cent.
Of oerbonate ot lime, a purity rare-
jy, if ever, surpassed, and scarcely
equaled in the world. Hence, its
advantage over the magnesian lime.
»tnne, as it Is not affected by decay-
in an atmospbore oharged with tho
gases of burning stone coal. In
natural outcrop it presents bold
perpendicular faces to the elements,
showing every scratch and mark,
unaffected after the exposure ol
thousands of years, as no other
stone or rook docs.
It Is quarried by strain channel-
era, which carve it out in prisma
.tlx by ten, fifty or ouo hundred
feet tong, putting to shauio tho
basted prodigies of Kgyptian story-
end effort, it is then rapidly- saw
ed into blocks and dimension
forms, and steam planers carve,
mold and smoothc it liko clay or
wood, and more accurately than
mallet and eblitl. It is now Hi to
be carved and polished into the
freest kind of sculptured and orna
mental work.
Ready for tho mason or sculptor,
It it alive and resonant, answering
with a clear metalio ring each
touch or blow. Tills resonance is
an exoellent test of the perlcet unity
of its particles, and as a result it is
highly elastic, bending under pres
tare and rebounding to place when
relieved Irons it. This elasticity
enables Indiana oolitic limestone
to adapt itself without cleavage or
disintegration to our changeable
climate, where material will bo fre
quently subject to a ebaogo of fiom
20° to 60° ol temperature in a lew
hours; as In large buildings, the
outside will be subject to a temper-
ature of 26° below zero in winter,
or 120° above it in winter, while
the inside will remain at 60° or 10°
—differences of 60° to 80° in the
extremities of the same stone
with their accompanying effects in
expansion or contraction. Tue
strains or heat and frost will tear
down buildings and sides of moun
tains, with tbeir great expansive
forces, and even steel and iron will
give way before them. Here, then,
li presented to the builder end ar
cbltecta new and wondrous ele
ment In an “elasUo atone,"a potent
quality which, united with iu other
•terllng excellencies of strength
veautt/sanb
exposed work In buildings in local-
ities subject to gre.t climatic
cuanges. It has been and is now
being used in many of the finest
public structures in the country—
the i ew $2,(JU0 000 conrt house at
Indianapolis, the ne w*,Indiana State
house, the post office and many
c.iurcbes in that city; the custom
bouse at Louisville; the oily hall
and tho water tables ol Lincoln
Park in Chicago, many fine struct
ures in St. Louis, tho Cotton Ex
change in Now Orleans, and many
public buildings in New York ar,d
Philadelphia, and the exposed part
of the new State House of Illinois.
Prom this it will be seen that the
stone combines all the best quali
ties of marble, while by reason of
its being easier worked it is much
cheaper. We have never examined
this particular stone, but we have
seen some in Kansas that answers
well to the description. It was
there called marble, and when
placed in a building had all the
appcaranco of marble. When first
taken from the quarry it could be
readily sawed, planed or turned
into any shape, but after exposure
to tho air fora short lima it became
as hard and firm as marble. We
have now in our house u match-

crazy about politics. At Fort
Wayne a day or two ago both'the
Democrats nnd Republicans held
political meetings. The streets
were filled with processions. Young
women, wearing uniforms, marched
with torches over tbeir shoulders
with the men. The general uni
form of the women is a white duck
dress trimmed and slashed with
scarlet, with bands of red across
the bruust. The cap is a jaunty
red silk. These young women
march and sing while their broth
ers shout. Every third mau had
a fish horn, which he industriously
klcw to see if lie could nut drown
the noise of a rival. The maddest
socnes in Ohio paled before tho
confusion at Fort Wayne. The
sceno witnessed at Fort Wayne
is seen in all parts of tiie State.
The girls who take part in the
processions are the beauties of the
towns and counties.
