Asbestos, which has become so nee
 essary to our safety in case of fire, is one of the strangest things in the world. It is half vegetable and half mineral. Among the products of the earth it stands practically alone. Fire cannot de,troy it; acids cannot effect it; the longer it lasts the tougher it gets. It is sort of missing link be- tween minerals and vegetables. Most of the asbestos used in the United States comes from Quebec, in Canads. 1t is quarried like granite, and when it is taken out, it. is heavy at first like rock, but when it has been crushed it is as light as feathers. In the rock state, it is worth about 2OOS per ton; but when the flores have pulled apart, it is worth 1,5OS per ton. Ordinary asbestos cloth is sold for about 3S a square yard. When it is made into curtains, it has to be sewed wit h as bes
 tos thread.-Miner and Manufacturer.
