Mr.. Burlett Chandler yesterday fa-
vored the HERALD Office with specimen
Of steatite, from ledge Of that material
which he has recently discovered. The
quality is good and Mr.. Chandler says
he has plenty Of the stuff. This min
eral is soft species OF stone, made up
of magnesia and silica. In Europe is is
used for foot stoves and fire places. In
America it is used for.griddle covers on
stoves where griddle cakes arc baked
without lubricating. Everybody has
seen it used in wedge-like shapes. by
tailors, in marking on woolen goods. aud
thooght it was soap because it felt like
the substance formed of spiri's Of am
monia and olive oil, called CASTLE soap.
But there is no soap about it. 1t is a
brother to "red chalk, or tale, which is
largely used by carpenters and mechan-
les. Mr.. Chandler also brought in sew
