Baron Nordenskjold, upon nnolhg

posed of the elements invariably as
ISOLATED with meteorites, and Of IN
common occurrence in terrestrial
matter. concluded that eosmic dust
is falling imperceptibly but contin-
uallv upon the earth. Recent speetro-
scopic examination Of many varieties
of dust collected IN England and else
where has an interesting bearing on
Nordenskiold's conclusions. Among
the constituents of dust floating in
the air are lead. silver, copper rubid-
ium, gallium, indium. thallium, nickel,
manganese, and so forth. Many OF
these can be traced 10 their sources
in factory chimneys and hues. Vol
canic dust has characteristic features,
and dust from clouds, collected either
by itself or in hail, snow, sleet or
rain. exhibits a regularity OF com

Artificial stone.

Quarrymen and stone dresSers will
probably be gradually crowded out OF
their occupation by the use OF artificial
stone. In the manufacture OF this stone
the sand Is heated and the cement add
cd to the amount of II per cent of the
mixture. The steel molds are filed
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder. which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water is then
turned in under pressure sufficient TO
force II all through the sand In the
molds. The cement slacks. but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion TO occur, and the stone Is formed
and dried under an immense pressure.
The result is n very hard stone which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.
