Mineral Wool,

From the iron furnaces of Pi1tsburg
comes substance which very closely re-
ssembles white picked wool. 1t is made
from the Stag, or waste, issuing from the
iron melting furnaces. t IS formed by
causing Jet OF steam to play upon the
stream OF molten Stag as it issues from the
furnace. This has the effect of breaking
up the melted mass into countless small.
bead-like particles, so light that thev ly
in every direction. Each of these tiny
beads carries behind it delicate thread of
finely spun Stag. so that one is reminded of
a comet with its tail.
To collect these threads. and to separate
the tbres from the heads or heavier Dor
lions of the Stag, the steam jet is arranged
at the mouth OF an open cylinder of sheet
IRON, IN which a strong air current is in
duced by means of additional jets of steam.
The tube or shaft is furnished with a
shield or striking plate which detains the
heavier particles, while the lighter Stag
wool is carried by the draft into large
chamber resembling gigantic meat safe,
its walls being fol med of wire netting with
about sixteen meshes to the square inch
Here the steam condenses and ESCAPES,
leaving the Stag WOOL, which now has the
appearance of snowhakes. denosited on the
floor of its chamber or clinging to it's wire
walls.
The filaments or flakes are then brokon
up and felted together, when they look
and feel like wool
This mineral wool is extremely light
and absolutely ireproof properties which
make it useful for a large variety of pur-
poses. 1t is a marvellous non-conduc-
tor of heat and sound, which rem
ders it valuable for packing between the
floors of rooms and in the spaces be-
tween partitions 1t serves as an excel
lent covering for boilers, heating pipes and
such things.
1t can be woven into cloth, and as such
makes fire. proof curtains for theatres, and
it might not be a bad plan to make clothes
out of it for children who persist in play
ing near the fire, 1t is 50 porous that it
will absorb and retain large quantities of
water like a sponge, and it is also an
antiseptic, that Is, substance which re-
sists or corrects putrefaction. 1t is useful,
therefore, as q dressing for wounds, as well
as for other medical purposes.

that night the record Of the past had been
left long way behind. In fact II was
left out OF sight and new one establish
ed In its place. The work commenced In
the morning with the intention OF saving
over 200, 900 feet Of lumber before night.
Until three o'clock two inch lumber was
sawed, then the gang was changed to inch
and half. After four o'clock the white
pine logs were sawed and Norway used
and the gang changed back to two inch.
The clogging Of the elevator stopped the
entire mill about 10 or 90 minutes, and
one of the circulars was delayed,consider
ably by break. In the mill there are
two circulars and one gang. BY noon
15S, 900 feet of lumber had been sawed,
and the old record began to look sick.
At night, after ten hours OF as busy work
as men can do, the mill closed for the day,
and when the days work was figured up,
II was found that the amount Of lumber
sawed was 273, 900 feet.

possession Of the Cincinnati, Saginaw &
Mackinaw railroad about the FIRST OF No

to make preparations for taking charge
of the offices and looking up the freight
traffic. The Bay Cities will reap very
material benefit from this change, as II
will give them the strongest competing

freights obtainable. The Grand Trunk

will save considerable time on that run
