Substitute for Calcium Carbide.
A substitute for calcium carbide has
been discovered before the demand for
the original has been developed to the
present capacity of works now engaged
in producing it. Carbolite, the new sub
stitute, is made from the blast furnace

required to produce the carbides. The
process is not regarded with favor in
this country, although it is said to have
been successfully tried in Germany,

because she could not resist the crav-
ing to do so.
