ASBESTOS AND ITs.UsEs.
A Queer Mineral Which Serves Not
a Few Vegetable Uses.

"Here is towel that is never washed
and yet is always kept Clean" said a
chemist to a Star reporter, handing to
him at the same time what appeared to
the eye and touch to be nothing more
nor less than a piece of coarse cotton
toweling.
"What sort Of laundry do you send it
tor was the natural query.
This kind, y replied the man of sci
ence, going over to the corner of his la
boratory and stuffing the towel into
small stove that was burning
brightly there for chemical purposes.
81 understand, said the visitor. "You
never use such towel more than ~ !" y
"You are very much mistake ther'. !"
responded the chemist. 81 sucl
towels almost forever, and the limos
never wear out.
With that he lifted off the lid ths
stove again and took out the towe.
the tongs, dipping it in cold water anu
then handing it once more to the news
paper man.
''Why," exclaimed the latter, sit is
not even injured What is it made Off"
SIT is made of roek,n 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 tlax-like substance in order to keep
the ashes from being lost among the
charred wood of the funeral pyre. Also
they used it for napkins aud for lamp
wicks.
''But what is it calledw
"You have often heard Of it under the
name Of asbestos, though very few peo-
pie apparently have any notion as to what
/ it really is Enormous deposits Of it exist
in Canada and elsewhere. 1t is form of
very hard rock called hornblende and
is found in strata of fibrous consistency
readily divisible into silky strand rcsem-
bling flax. This likeness has given il
/ the name Of earth flax You can see
/ for Yourself from this towel how much
it looks like vegetable fabric when
woven. An ASBESTOS towel may be used
for pretty nearly the same purposes as an
ordinary towel, and, when it is dirty, all
you have to do is to throw it into the fire
and rake it out after little while per
i fectly clean
rs asbestos used for any other pur-
poses in these daysf"
"Oh. YES. 1t is employed for roofing
material, boiler fclting, paper stock and
in the mixing Of fireproof paints for stage
scenery. Also clothes for tiremen and
gloves to handle red-hot iron with are
made of it. Sometimes the mineral is
found in thin sheets of interlaced fibres,
known as mountain leather Elsewhere
it is not infrequently procured in thick
sheets, and in that condition is called
mountain cork. ~ Washington Star.

Railroad for Wagons"

It is stated that a Texas man got out
a patent which is intended to solve the
road question, especially in regions where
good road building is very difficult and
expensive. The patent is called the
.sRailroad for Wagons" and the method
of operating is described as follows;
Through an exceedingly bad road, say
bottoms and marshes, grade, say twenty
feet, is first made On this grade is
placed crosswise every four feet wooden
ties six feet long. On these ties are laid
and fastened, four feet ten inches apart,
two fiat iron rails four inches wide, Of
sufficient thickness to hold up the heay-
lest loaded wagon These rails have a
flange on the inside two inches high, to
keep the wheels on the track. The space
between the wheels is planked, sanded
or gravelled, as the necessity Of the case
NAV require. The approach to the track
IS bordered by inside fianges that curve in
ward to guide the wheels to the track. "
Thus equipped this kind of a road is
claimed to afford easy and sure travel in
any season Of the year, and in any kind
of weather, beside furnishing a road of
several years duration, the grade being
the only thing liable to get out Of repair.
This road, complete in all its parts. can
be built, it is estimated, for 81 per run
ming foot. and in some places for less,
making it cheap as well as safe. Switches
are to be put in for passing wagons. -

Frog Flesh VS.. Human Flesh.

An interesting operation Of flesh graft.
inc. which was one Of the discoveries Of
NJ Paul Bert. has just been performed at
the great gun works in Paris, France. by
a surgeon named Observation-Disclosures.
a workman had his foot badly burned by
molten iron, destroying the skin over a
surface of about eight inches by four.
Tho surgeon took four strips of flesh from
the tl.igh Of a young man and as many
from four different frogs, transferring
them to the wounded man loot. by
Greet care the wound healed in eleven
DAYS. The cicatrice obtained from the
frogs skin was soft, clasticf, and inodor-
Gus: that from the human flesh was much
harder, producing irritation at many
points. The result Of the operation IS OF
great importance, showing the superiority
Of frog skin and flesh for serious wounds

platforms about twenty feet square and
foot high. These platforms are covered
with great palm leaves upon which were
spread the wares of the market women.
In the center of each platform was
pillar which helped to support the roof of
the shed, and against the four sides of
this pillar four women leaned their backs.
Each had number of little piles of
onions, pieces of cabbages and other
vegetables before her, and l looked in
vain for either scales or measures. In
this market the only measure was the eye
and everything sold at SO much per pile.
There was no paper or string used in
wrapping up the vegetables. and every
thing was put into a palm-leaf and fast
ened there with little wooden tooth
pick-like pin. Each woman had a betel
box and some cigarettes beside her and
all chatted and smoked as the market
went on. The whole looked very bar
barous in comparison with the markets
Of our western civilization, but Siam is
now at the beginning of change.
The present king is the most enter
prising ruler the country has ever had.
He has established an Agricultural De-
partment and is doing all he can, re-
stricted as he is by the ignorance and
superstition which prevail, to advance
the interests of his people both as to
civilization and wealth.

Russian Growth in Asia.

At this moment, quarter Of century
since the capture Of Tashkend, the Rus
sian possessions in Central Asia already
extended over an area Of 20, 600 square
miles, rich in fertile Gases, and counting
a population OF about three million in
habitants.
The respect of property and legality
have been introduced into that country.
The population, harassed by despotism
and plunder, now reposes under the
scepter of the "White Tsar."
The works Of peace and commerce are
rapidly developing, aided by the creation
of a railway which unites Samarcand to
the Caspian Sea- The agricultural eX-
hibition at Tashkend has just demon
strated with evidence what Russian dom
ination has done for the country.
And all this is due TO the intrepldity
and heroic patience of handful Of sol
diers led by Tchernaief. The wars OF
Central Asia, like those of former days
ST the Caucasus, were an excellent school
for the Russian troops; not only did
they form men but they created brave
officers. The names of Tchernaietf, Sko-
belief. Kouropatkine, Abramof, Colo
vatchoff, Kolpakovsky, etc., are there to
prove the fact.
The capture OF Tashkend was no small
thing when one thinks that detach-
ment of /. 300 infantry and cavaliers,
backed by ten pieces of artillery, besieged
such large town, having circumier-
ence of sixteen miles and over 100, 600
inhabitants, sixty-three cannons, defend
ed by garrison of 10000 men, The
fioht in the streets lasted two days. The
Russian troops took over fifty barricades,
sixty-three cannons, sixteen large BAN
ners several thousand guns, thirty SIX
tons of powder, whereas they lost IN all
only 157 men.-[New York Mail and

IDA LEWIS AT HOME.
How the Famous Heroine Lives in
Newport Harbor.

Running from the mainland into the
west side of Newport harbor is long,
stanchly built wharf. Were you TO find
your way to the end, you would ere long
see from the lighthouse beyond woman
appear and glance in your direction.
Presently, with agile step, she runs down
the narrow ladder fastened to the stone
wall, jumps nimbly into a boat, untics it
from its mornings, takes the heavy oars,
and with beauty of stroke all her own
pulls with long and strong pull that
sends her flying toward the steps OF the
pier on which you wait. Her back is
as erect as that of young girl, her
powerful strength manifest in the great
strides the rowboat makes, and yet, when
she deity turns it round and you get
good look at her face, it can be seen that
1t belongs to woman in middle lie, put
upon whom time has left few tell-tale
marks. She puts out welcoming hand
with beautiful white wrist, adding
CHEEKY smile and word of greeting as
she makes ready to take you over to Lime
Rock as her guest. You have cause for
self-congratulation in being thus favored
by the heroine, Ida Lewis.
Life on a lighthouse, situated as is
Lime Rock light, IS not the grucsome
thing generally imagined. With a six
roomed house there are cares that fill the
day, and like any other ''gude wife, Miss
Lewis has her pots, kettles, and pans to
attend to, rooms to sweep, beds to make,
papers and magazines to read, letters TO
write, and all the various ct cateras to
manage which fill the time of a busy
woman. A devoted church woman, she
spends Sunday on shore whenever
her brother is at home.
As the only woman lighthouse keeper
in our country, and the last one that VIII
be given a light--for such is the verdict
of the powers that be-Miss Lewis has
other duties that are unique. Exactly at
shutdown she must light her lamp, and
precisely at midnight another must be
substituted. All through the night it
must be watched and Miss Lewis likens
this constant care to that demanded by
an infant The wick might flare or burn
low, the chimney smoke or crack, or any
of the hundred and-one accidents happen
that are ever taking place with the use
of kerosene oil. She can but catch cat
maps; hence the ncarness of her sleeping
room to the light At sunrise the law
requires her lamp, like the foolish viz
gins, to have gone out, and from tins
she is an early riser. The responsibility
is no small one, for the slightest neglect
of duty or accident to her light or lenses
would bring a report from the first sea-
man who suffered by it, Lives hang on
her vigilance, but to her credit no light
on all the coast is as regularly or per-
fectly attended to, nor does any other
gain from the Government Inspector 50
high report. Miss Lewis keeps a daily
expense book, noting just the amount OF
wick and oil burnt, and the time TO
second of the lighting and putting out
of the lamp. In addition, record OF
the weather must be entered daily As
Lime Rock light is first-class light, no
rations are allowed, the yearly salary be.

Cruel Hangings in Austria

1t appears from a report on capital
punishments which has Just been laid
before the Parliament Of Austria and Hun
gary that executions in that country are
carried out in an inconceivably barbarous
manner. The convict is placed on the
ground. where he stands with long rope
round his neck. which presently jerks
him off his legs, and he remains struggling
horribly in the air for several minutes.
A convict is never strangled in less than
seven minutes, and often the operation
takes a quarter OF an hour. and the poor
wretch Is usually conscious, or nearly
conscious, during the greater part Of the
time.-fNe York Journal
