Mineral Wool.

Mineral wool looks very much like
cotton batting with little bits or glass
scattered through it. 1t is made in .his
way: There are two streams of Stag
(Which is the scum from iron) one in
each side, and jet of steam in be
tween, and as the two streams OF Stag
meet the steam the mineral wool Is
formed
The blast that is used To send the Stag
over the steam comes with such force
that it sends the wool formed from the
Stag flying to all parts of the building,
and some getting outside of the build
ing makes it look as though it were
covered with snow
AS the wool flies around the little
PARTICLES of glass separate from il, and
as the Stag was redhot the pieces of
glass are on fire, and they look like lit
tic stars flying around.
1t is used for packing around registers
and between walls. 1t is a nonoonductor
of heat, therefore it will not burn.
