WOOL FROM ROCK.

| e. I. Hall, chemist of the Union Steel
Company, at Alexandria, Ind, has dis
covered process of making fine wool
from rock. From a com bination of "a
per cent. of limestone, chemicals and
one or the commonest of minerals he
turns out pure wool as white as the
winter snow. One of the largest weav-
ing concerns in Massachusetts is MAX
ing experiments with this new wool.
with the view of it's adoption in the
weaving Of cloth and under-garment
While making experiments with lime
stone for this factory Mr. Hall found
that certain kind, instead of turning
TO quicklime as is natural with ordinary
limestone when subjected to fire, would,
when combined with chemicals turn
into lava, and when subjected to an
other process this lava could be rem
dered pliable and handled similar to
molten glass. From this beginning the
process was pushed further, and a
doWny wool resulted, the possibilities of
which seem TO be almost unlimited.
Halls rock wool is just as soft and
white as the wool the sheep produces,
and can be manufactured cheaper than
