Seite 141 - Act, 1896, it is enacted that a Secretary of State, on being satisfied that any explosive is, or is likely to become, dangerous, may by Order prohibit the use thereof in any mine or in any class of mines either absolutely or subject to conditions I hereby, in pursuance of the power conferred on me by the aforesaid section, make the following Order : — 1.
Seite 450 - Masonry, in its widest sense, includes all constructions of stone or kindred substitute materials, in which the separate pieces are either placed together, with or without cementing material to join them; or, when not separately placed, are encased in a matrix of firmly cementing material.
Seite 237 - Lithonia granite. This stone, which differs chiefly from the Stone Mountain granite in having laminated structure, covers a considerable area in the eastern part of DeKalb and the contiguous parts of Rockdale and Gwinnett counties. The Lithonia quarries are very extensive and furnish large quantities of stone for street improvement as well as for general building purposes. Granites and gneisses, similar to the above, are found 'in many localities in North Georgia, but only at a few points have they...
Seite 132 - America is making violent efforts to evolve a national architecture but as yet it has produced little but miscellaneous imitations of European types and some wonderful constructive devices. A walk along the Broadway and Fifth Avenue of New York leaves the impression of an extraordinary medley of incongruous styles, highly ingenious adaptations, admirable artistic workmanship, triumphs of mechanics, the lavish use of splendid materials, and an architectural potpourri which almost rivals the Rue dcs...
Seite 239 - Bangor or Mountain Limestone. THE KNOX DOLOMITE is the most extensive of the three formations. It attains a thickness, in places, of more than 3,000 feet and occurs in the form of a number of broad and narrow bands, traversing the area in a northeast and southwest direction, giving rise usually to broad, rounded ridges.
Seite 231 - ... and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead ? he is not here, but is risen.
Seite 131 - ... retired from all cares of state. We fancy him sitting under the spacious eastern portico, with its eight tall columns, looking out over the broad landscape of forest and river, or lying in his last sleep in the simple bed, with its dimity coverlet, and then laid to rest in the rural tomb below the house, which he ordered himself, and in which his descendants have insisted on keeping his remains. General Grant lies beside the Hudson at New York, in a magnificent mausoleum palpably imitated from...
Seite 131 - Sophia, St. Isaac's, the Panthe"on, St. Paul's, or the new Cathedral of Berlin. But the unique effect is still more due to the magnificent site which the Capitol at Washington enjoys. I have no hesitation in saying that the site of the Capitol is the noblest in the world, if we exclude that of the Parthenon in its pristine glory. Neither Rome nor Constantinople, nor Florence, nor...
Seite 241 - Dolomite and the Fort Payne Chert, the latter formation being the lowest member of the Carboniferous formation. The chert of the Knox Dolomite is co-extensive with the dolomite itself, and is by far the more important deposit of the two, both from a geological and an economic standpoint. It occurs, as previously stated, in the dolomite in the form of nodules ; and also in beds, frequently several feet in thickness. In the weathering of the dolomite, the chert remains as a residual product, in the...
Seite 241 - Georgia can be shipped from 100 to 200 miles, and sold at a less price than broken stone. The wide use of this material in the future will no doubt depend, in a great measure, upon freight-rates. The Fort Payne Chert is a siliceous limestone, varying in thickness from 50 to 200 feet. Its lower layers consist largely of heavy beds of chert, resembling very closely the chert of the Knox Dolomite. This formation, like the Mountain Limestone, occurs along the base of Lookout and Pigeon mountains. It...
