Mineral Wool.

Mineral wool or silicate cotton is one
of those curious and unexpected inven-
tons arising from the ever-increasing
efforts of modern science to utilize the
waste material of industry. 1t was first
manufacturedin large quaint ties In one OF
the large gun fax tories of Kupp, in Essen,
a large town OF Prussia, on the Rhine,
wheresuch immense quantitiesof mineral
refuse on "slag" had accumulated year
after year that how TO get rid of ii be-
came a serious problem. IL had formed
quite respectable sized mountains wien
some one conceived the idea Of expert
menting with il, and found 10y the ac
tiou Of hot air aud jets of steam under
the pressure of three or four atmos-
pheres, blown upon the Stag when nearly
at white heat, il became transformed
into light, coherent spongy substance,
,mething between wool and grey cotton
wpidng in appearance and capable of
being purified SO as to become as white
as wool. 1t is, OF course, perfectly IN
combustible. 1t is also bad conductor
of heat, and relatively cheap !; about n
