The position that It is natural for the
beginner 10 take when first perched
upon a horses back is not the correct
one. This sounds unusual, because, in
so many sports and forms Of physical
exercise. the attitude that is easiest and
most natural Is the best. For instance
i'm walking. we move with our toes point
ed out and our heels in. The beginner
in riding naturally places his feet in
this position when first seated upon
horse. The correct position for the
feet in riding is to carry them parallel
with the sides Of the horse. The reason
for this will be readily understood If We

USES OF ASBESTOS.
Wonderful Substance That Is Com
ing Into Prominence.
Link Between the Vegetable and Min
eraI kingdoms-How IL Is Oh
tanned in Various
Countries.

Asbestos is one Of the most remark
able substance found in nature, and is
classified by biologists as a peculiar spe-
cies Of the hornblende family of miner
ais. It's composition is chiefly SILICA.
magnesia, alumina. and ferrous oxide,
and consequently understandable, hence
its name The fibers formed by chemical
combination are perfectly smooth, an
in this respect are different from all tn
err known fibers, says the Scientific
American.
Periodically, 1t Is the link which
completes the chain between the vege-
table and mineral kingdoms, and is in
fact a neurological vegetable possess
ing the curious properties found in both,
for it is at once fibrous and crystalline,
elastic and brittle as thistledown when
treated mechanically.
Added to this, its fbers. soft, white
and delicate, have, by their inherent
quality Of indesuuctibility withstood
the action Of the elements since the
world began; and through all the count
less ages, during which the hardest rocks
surrounding II have been reduced, this
meteorological mystery has remained in
tact, having successfully resisted the
assaults Of fire, acids and time. Asbestos
Is found widely distributed throughout
the world, although the principal sup
ply Of crude asbestos suitable for the
manufacture Of freproof cloths and cur
tains comes from Canada, about rs miles
from Quebec.
The Italian mineral has a fine silk
like fiber. but is lacking in the essen
tial characteristic Of strength. The
product obtained from South Carolina
has a soft. woody yelIowish fiber. which
quickly powders under pressure, The
South African asbestos, as one might
naturally infer. is Of a dark slate or
black color, with exceptionally long
strong fibers. but owing 70 its stift
and horny texture. Il cannot be manu-
featured into a fine fabric, hence the
superiority OF the Canadian asbestos,
and its large consumption in the United
States.
The mining Of asbestos differs radical
" from the mining Of other minerals,
since no shafts are sunk, but excavations
are made in the open. somewhat after
the manner Of a stone quarry. Canadian
asbestos. however. is found in narrow
veins or seams about an inch and a
quarter in thickness. and embedded In
rock which is easily severed from IT,
The strata Of asbestos, which may be
vertical or horizontal, are found IN
practically detached deposits, and are
as elusive as those Of zinc-bearing ore
and can only be determined by exploring
for them.
The rock 10 which the mineral Is at
tached shows on fresh fracture a serpen-
tine mineral Of a green shade contain
ing fnely-divided particles Of chronic
and magnetic iron. The asbestos on
cleavage presents brilliant, dark
green surface by reflected light but the
fibers after they are detached are per-
fectly white. The act Of separating the
mineral from its matrix Of rock Is termed
hand eobbing." and after this process
the mineral is shipped TO varioua fac
tories in the United States.

THE MEAT PROBLEM.

Because of the strike of the butchers,
meat of all kinds is very scarce in Totem

local bt tclers of that pla e did not have
an over abundant supply on hand. AT

vanced, but the : prospects of getting
more of ii to %Toitenvllle, is bothcriug the
dealers. Some Of the farmers up the
Island, who own slaughter houses, arc
making preparations to kill cattle and
this will help out to some extent.
One of the butchers of Tottenville, in
talking to Il News reporter, said hat he
did not think they would be able to get
any help ,fIom New York, as the whole
sale houses did not have a big supply on
hand and what they did have was sold
right in the city, at an advanced price.
1t is expected that the price of vegeta-
bles will be advanced as the rain of the
past few days has donc more harm than
good. The residents arc glad that fish
