Where Asbestos Comes From.

Asbestos is a mineral, silicate OF
magnesia and lime, together with
iron oxide. 1t is worked in CONNER
cial deposits in Italy, Tasmania, New
South Wales, Canada and the United
States. Its distinguishing economical
character lies in its resistance to heat
and indestructibility through fire. For
this reason it has been found particu-
larly available as a covering for boil
ers and steam pipes, and woven and
made into paper or mixed as paint it
serves to fire-proof combustible sub
stances. Its value depends upon the
particular form in which it is vended.
Most of the crude mineral used in
manufacture in this country is
brought from Canada

ORIGIN OF AUcTloNEERs.
Auctions Were Familiar Institutions
to Ancient Rome

to Ancient Rome.
The auctioneers of the United King
dom cannot claim to belong to very
ancient profession, so far as this coun-
try is concerned. Though auctions
were familiar institutions in ancient
Rome, the first in these islands is
said to have been held about 100,
when Elisha Yale, governor of Fort
George (Madras), put up for sale his
trophies of the East, and, although
auction" was defined in 1918 as "a
making a publick sale and selling of
goods by outcry," it does not appear
to have been recognized then as
British institution. The word "auct-
ioneer" does not occur before the
eighteenth century. The medieval
''auctionarius" was a very different
persona ''regrater" who bought up
provisions to sell them at an increas-
ed price in the same market.
