MINERAL WOOL.
A Queer Kind of Rock That is Woven Into
Fabrics.

From the Washington Star.
"Here is a towel that is never washed
and yet is always kept clean" said a
chemist to reporter, handing to him At
the same time what appeared to the eye
and touch to be nothing more nor less
than an ordinary piece of coarse cotton
toweling.
"What sort of laundry do you send it
to?" was the natural query.
"This kind, F." replied the man of science,
going over to the corner of his laboratory
and stuf1ing the towel in small stove
that was burning brightly there for
chemical purposes.
II understand" said the visitor. "You
never use such towel more than once"
You are very much mistaken there"
responded the chemist. Il use such
towels almost forever and they almost
never wear out"
With that he lifted Off the lid of the
stove again and took out the towel with
the tongs, dipping it in cold water, and
then handing it once more to the news

Why exclaimed the latter, lit is
not even injured. What is it made of?'
ut is made OF rock" answered the
chemist; 'but very peculiar kind of
rock-so peculiar indeed, that the an
clients supposed the stuff of which this
towel is woven to be of vegetable ma
ture, They used to wrap bodies that
were to be burned in cloths made of the
same flax like substance in order to keep
the ashes from being lost among the
charred wood of the funeral plre."
"But what is it called?'

name of asbestos though very few PEG

Proper Care OF Carriages.

There is no varnsh made that will hold
its brilliancy more than six months. A
carriage should he rcvarnished every six
months to keep it exactly in fine order.
If revarnished once year, it will PIE
serve the undcrcoats from damage. But
there are circumstances that render revar-
nishing necessary ut more frequent inter
walls. II one has not suitable carriage
house separate from the stable, the am
monia from the stalls or the manure pile,
or perhaps from decaying vegetables, has
united with the oil in the varnsh and
gradually dissolved il or burnt it, We
have known it done in one night, so that
the whole surface exposed to the ammonia
was shriveled up IN small brown, crisp
rolls. We knew case where gentle
man left his horse and buggy standing in
front of distillcry for half an hour, and
when he returned one side of his buggy
was completely covered with what
looked like rust but which was simply
the remains Of the decayed varnish. The
oil had been consumed, leaving only the
gum crumbled up in burnt crisp flakes.
Some people do not take tac pains to
wash the mud from carriage soon
enough after using, but permit it to dry,
when the mud acts like Il sponge and alb
serbs the oil from the varnish. Some
people wash the carriage with soap, and
we have even known hot water used
For such acts of stupidity there are no
words to express disgust. Some people
seem to regard yarnish as a kind of high
polish, put on by hard rubbing, and the
more rubbing it gets the brighter it ought
to look The number of people who are
absolutely ignorant about varnish is
something astonishing. The StaJle.

Effect of the Wind on River Banks

1t has been observed that many of the
rivers of Saxony, which flow through
loose or soft materials, have a steep bank
on the east, northeast or southeast, while
the opposite shore is flat. Herr Ruck-
taschel, who has been studying the sub
ject, attributes this onc-sidedness to the
action of the prevailing southwest, west
or northwest winds, which drive tho
rains almost at right angles against the
bank sloping from the east, and wash
away the soil in much greater quantity
than from the western bank. Some Of
the river valleys of Prussia and Bavaria
exhibit similar phenomena.
