Asbestos |
A WONDERFUL MINERAL AND ITS Us

Visitors at the Pavilion should be sure and
examine the display of II. w. Johns patent
Asbestos materials, which forms an i'm.
portant feature of the present exhibition
Asbestos is q wonderful mineral, indestructible
by fire or acids, and differs from all other
known mineral substances in possessing
fibres resembling silk or flax, some varieties
of which can be spun, woven and felted, pro-
ducing cloth, felted sheets, paper, thread, etc.
A tissue Of Asbestos paper will withstand the
hottest flame, and the mineral itself posses
SEES several other valuable properties, being a
natural lubricant, noH.cOnductor OF heat,
and capable of receiving and retaining the
most brilliant colors. Under II. w. Johns
patent, Asbestos Is utilized in combination
with other materials in the manufacture Of
articles for structural and mechanical pur:
poses, and ut the Pavilion it Is exhibited In
its crude state and also as manufactured
into roofing, house and roof fire proof paints,
pipe and boiler covering, cement telling,
steam packing, Asbestos paper, board, etc.
asbestos roofing, for steep or hat roofs, has
everywhere received the endorsement Of the
most extensive builders, manufacturers and
railroad companies. 1t forms light,
cool, handsome and yet inexpensive roof,
which is air tight, practically fre-proof, and
an effective non conductor of heat. -As6estos
paints are strictly reliable, hrst-class paints,
second TO none in purity, richness and per-
msnency of color, beauty OF finish, durability,
and all characteristics which are requisite 10
form q perfect protective covering. They
also withstand the action OF salt water at
mosphere and other severe tests where the
best white lead has failed. In fact, the re-
markable qualities Of all OF II. w. Johns As
bestos goods are becoming generally admit
ted, aud we should suggest TO capitalists,
property owners and foundrymen, that II
would be money saved to adopt Asbestos
materials wherever practicable. Messrs.
Thompson Il Epson, No. First street, are
the Pacific Coast agents for the above goods,
TO whom all orders should be addressed.
The Asbestos goods here alluded to are
shown at the right Of the main entrance, In
the rear Of the display Of SAWS. y. BSl-

The SCRAP BOOK.-Every one who
takes newspaper which he in the least
degree appreciates, will often regret to
see any one number which contains some
interesting and important articles thrown
aside for waste paper. A good way to
preserve these is by the use of scrap
book. One who has never been accus-
toned thus to preserve short articles, can
hardly realize the pleasure it affords to
sit down and turn over the pleasant, fam
liar pages. Here piece of poetry
meets the eye, which you would long
since have lost had it not been for your
scrap-book. There is a witty anecdote-
it does you good to laugh over it yet, al
though it may be for the twentieth time.
Next is a valuable recipe you had almost
forgotten, and which you found just in
time to save much perplexity. There is
sweet little story, the memory of which
has cheered and encou. aged you when al
most ready to despair under the pressure
Of LIES cares. Indeed, you can hardly
take up single paper without re-perus-
ing. Then hoard with care the precious
gems, and see at the end of the year what
rich treasure you will have accumu-
lated.
