A Curious Mineral.

Asbestos is one of the most curious
and interesting of minerals; or, we
might rather say, classes of minerals,
the name being applied to quite a
number of varieties of tremolite.
actinolite, ETC., which are themselves
varieties of amphibole, or hornblende,
as it is more commonly called.
Chemically viewed, these are CON-
pounds OF SILICA, magnesia, lime and
oxide of iron. They differ from other
varieties of hornblende chiefly in
containing little or no alumina, and
are remarkable for assuming fibrous
character, the fibre being sometimes
very long, fine and flexible, and hav.
ing very much the a. pearance of flax.
They form compact masses, bnt
can often be easily separated by the
fingers. They vary in color from
white to green and light brown. The
name asbestos is from the Greek, and
means incu nbustible. 1t is nothing
strange that a mineral should be
incumbustible, but delicate threads,
looking like flax, should not be
destroyed by fire, but should come
forth from the ordeal only the whittier,
like ordinary thread washed in water,
naturally seemed remarkable phe-
nomenon to the ancients who gave
them the name.

Grafton was recently performed in the

of amputation, by means of electricity,
of the left leg at the hip. The patient,
young man, being reduced very much
by the sloughing of an open wound

sirable that he should lose as little
as possible. Having placed the pa
tient under the influence of ether,
the customary flaps were made, and
a platinum wire, attached to the two
poles of galvanic battery, was incir-
cled round the leg under the flaps. In
a moment this wire was brought to a
white heat, and began to cut it's way
through the limb. By the great heat
the ends of the arteries were con-
tracted, and only the larger ones re-

ALEXANDER CAMBELL, the founder
of the sect of which Gen. Garfield is a
member, was born in county Antrim,
Ireland, in June, 1885, and died at
Bethany, w. Va, March i, 1866. He
was educated at the University of
Glasgow, and came to this country in
1909. For a time he was pastor of the
Presbyterian church, from which
denomination he soon separated on
the ground that the bible should be
the sole creed of the church. In 1910
he and his father( also Presbyterian
clergyman organized new society
at Brush Run, Penn. The society bid
fair to grow at one time since the
election Of Garfield, but the fact that
he doesn't make appointments OH
church grounds is rather backset.
