AN ESSAY ON MICA.

where the Substance IL Found and tho
Price 1t Commands In Various Parts OF
the World.
Mica Is known as glimmcr or mus.
covy glass. II IL substance OF foliated
texture. which is capable of being di.
vidcd into leaves like dining.room
table. the leaves have sensible clas-
tic!ty and arc so extremely thin as to be
perfectly transparent The color OF
mica is grccnish, and sometimes 1t is OF
every other known color 1t is greasy
to the touch, very like Il large section OF
salted hog. 1t is soft and rs easy lobe
scratched as a Kittens back. When
divided across the back il seems rather
to tear than TO break.
4. In Iiboria. thin plates Of mica arc
used for window glass. This Is said to
be y perfect safeguard against small
boys who throw stones. Mica is dug in
large quantities in Irkutsk and llmCva.
Mica is not found in Elkhart or lph'
spcning. So plentiful is mica in Bengal
that fer n dollar dozen pancs, twelve
by nine inches, may be purchased. In
Cincinnati a watermelon that will pro-
duce two.dozcn pains may bcpurchased
for half.a.dollar. II is therefore cheap.
er to live in Cincinnati than Bengal.
Ordinary objects can be seen through
mica at the distance Of thirty yards.
Blind men and persons who are full OF
whisky can not see through 1t at thirty
fcet
As n substitute for glass, mica is like
n well.dcvclopcd tramp; having the in
convenience of becoming dirty, its
transparency being destroyed BY long
exposure to air.
Powdered mica is employed in Europe
aud on the clothing Of American circus
riders as spanglc, for the purpose OF
giving brilliancy. To our knowledge
Mr.. Tcnnyson and Walt Whitman have
of late years forgot to use powdered
mica in decorating their poems. Hence
the lack of brilliancy TO the said poems.
It was formerly sold by stationcrs as
sand for absorbing ink in writing but
since the introduction OF spring poets
II is not used rs sand.
The best mica is OF a pure, pearl
color, and when split into leaves pre-
scnts smooth surface. not unlike the
floor of skating rink.
Mica, like smallpox patients, Is fre'
qucntly annoyed with small sca'y
blisters which greatly dcpreclates its
value.
1t Is said that mica was first discov-
cred by Mica.cl Angelo. who was also
the author of Mica.do. once popular
comic opera. The Judge.
