Mineral Wool.

Incredible as it may seem, says ''1nfor-
nation, d soft downy mineral wool is
now being manufactured out of rock
sandstone and blast furnace Stag. The
process is simple: The rock or Stag is
melted in = large cupola, and as it trickles
out al the tapho!o in somewhat sluggish
stream high pressure steam jet, directed
upon it, atomizes it, blowing it in ileecy
clouds into the storage room provided for
it, where it is collected after settling and
serves for variety of useful purposes
when placed upon the market--a sound
deadoner in floors and walls, means of
nrsproofng and nonconducting covering
for steam pipes and cold storage parti-
tlons. Mineral wool is as soft and delicate
as the animal fiber.

Reliability Of Different Paints.

A careful investigation of the reliability
of different paints used on bridges has
been made BY +. Gerber of the American
Society of Civil Engineers, with some i'm
portant practical results. Il appears, says
the New York sun, that in all cases rust
was found to a greater or less extent. oe-
curing always in spots in the center Of
clean metal, most Of this however, being
thin and us bad in now structures rs in
old. 1t was nevertheless found that tie
iron oxide paints adhered moro firmly TO
the metal than the lead paints, only ono
case being found in which the latter ad-
hered well and was tough, though much
Of this brittleness, it is suggested, may be
due 10 adultcration Of the oil by tuTpcn-
tine, bcnzine or other petroleum products,
there being more likelihood of such adul-
teratiop with lead paints than with iron,
as thoy are moro difficult to spread, and
consequently dilution of the oil is resorted
to. In some cases bridges coated with iron
oxide II or 10 years ago were found to bo
still in good condition without having to
be repainted. Only two Of the bridges ex-
amined had been painted with carbon or
asphaltum paints, but the condition Of
things in these two cases was found to be
not altogether satisfactory as the coating
WAS not tough or adhercnt. Too little at
tention, Gerber remarks, has been paid to
thoroughly cleaning the metal before the
first coat OF paint is applied.
