"A correspondent asks, What is carbo-
| rundum2 Carborundum is made of sand,
sugar, salt and sawdust, says the St.
| Louis Globe Democrat. These simple ma
| terials are mixed and fused in an cleo
| trio furnace at a low heat and the re-
| suit is carbide of silicon, or carborundum,
| which is a mass of crystals as hard as dia-
monds. There are, in effect, artificial di-
| almonds, and they are commercially used
! as an abrasive. The colOrs of the crys-
tails have been reduced to all grades OF
fineness, they are mixed with porcelain
| or other material and made into cylinders
disks, straps, boards and blocks for use
| in grinding and polishing, from delicate
| dental and jewelry work 20 the coarsest
machine and tool work For these pur-
!. poses it IS fast superseding emery and
! corundum, for, though dearer to begin
with, 1t is vastly superior in life and eff
| cheney. In the one apparently trivial col
| lateral field of the making of disks for use
| by the dentist in cutting down and eXca-
! waiting teeth an enormous business Is done
| several millions being turned out yearly
| With the old corundum disk the sensation
! of the patient was that the whole of the
| tooth and the jaw were being dislntegrat-
| ed by the coarse abrasion of the wheel
| with the carborundum disk the operation
| is smooth and painless. Carborundum is
| both infusible and insoluble-neither oils
! water nor acids affect it. Even hydro
! fuoric acid, which dissolves all the sill
! Gates, leaves no mark upon it.
