A Suit of stone.

The conversion of the flintiest, rough
est limestone into soft white wool is
one of the wonders of the cent tury which
will appear in a practical way to the
manufacturers. Wonderful and almost
impossible as it may seem, this process
is being carried on successfully by a
man who expects his discovery to revo-
iutionize the wool and cloth manufac-
turing Industries. The discoverer was
making some tests of stone and was
using heat and chemicals to analyzs
them. He happened upon limestone
which, when subjected to the tests,
acted unexpectedly. The usual course
Of stone under the condition he was
submitting it to is to become quick
lime, but in this instance it ran into
lava To all outward appearance the
stone was common building stone. 1t
had been used in many buildings, but
it had chemical quality that was very
different. The molten mass was very
pliable, like glass when it is III the same
state. Glass may be strung out like
silk, and it has been converted into
dress goods. The man conceived the
iGea Of carrying the experiment still
further. This white lava was subjected
to chemical baths and then to a draw

verted into the finest and most pliab1e

Stalking Nome Beach Claims

Miners " no contemplate digging g"lt!

are somewhat alarmed over one clause of
bill now before Congress, regulating
mining at Nome. This clause provide
that the beach may be sIaked off into
claims.
The miners say that if this proposed
law is adopted there will be room for
comparatively few men to work on the
sands, and that the vast number who go
to Nome expecting to make money from
the beach W II be disappointed.
The business of the town will be in
jured, too, by the failure of the dis
appointed ones to make money.
Another fear ex pressed by the miners
is that people now going into Nome
overland will, expecting the law to
pass, form companies and stake off all
the paying beach, and that thus the
profits of the sand diggings will reach
the pockets of still fewer
