The Production Of Abestos.

| Commercial asbestos includes
fibrous minerals Of two distinct
types. True asbestos ia actinelite
or tremolite, but the more impor-
tant asbestiform mineral is the fl
brous variety Of serpentine known
as chrysotIle. This variety is
everywhere associated with serpen-
tine, which is derived from the al.
teration of eruptive rocks. 1t has
been reported as occurring in COM
mercial quantities In Massachu-
setts, Vermont, North Carolina,
Wyoming. Arizona, Washington,
Oregon and California.
The eastern townships Of the
province of Quebec furnish the
greater part (85 per cent? of the
worlds production of asbestos.
In 1906 Canada exported 1864
tons of abestos. valued at 81 ,629,-
257, most OF which came to the
United States. Improved meth
DDS of mining are being introduced
in Canada and the output there is
increasing.
Both forms of abestos are appli-
ed to many uses, depending in
part upon the fbrous character of
the material, but also upon it's
-conductlvity Of heat and cleo
tricity. The best grade OF chryso-
tile fiber is spun into thread, yarn

AMERICAN TO WED COUNTESS
Millionaire Now Living In England Is
Responsible for a Divorce In
High Life.

PARIS, Jan. 21-That a former
New Yorker, one of the richest indi-
viduals in the world, had fallen in
love with a beautiful English coun-
tess, has already been told. But it is
said now that preparations are being
made for divorce proceedings in the
English courts which will leave the
charming aristocrat free to marry her
admirer, widower, who draws a
tremendous income from real estate
in New York.
The countess met her adorer and
benefactor in this city just before
Christmas. and he gave her a magni-
hcent laudaulette and several other
costly Christmas presents.
The American Croesus. who has
lived in England for years and owns
a splendid and historic mansion there
is travelling in southern Italy and St
city awaiting the closing of the di
vorce proceedings, which will create
a tremendous sensation in America
England and France. Efforts are be-
ing made, however, to arrange that
the suit shall not be defended so as to
minimize publicity.
The gentleman concerned shuns
notoriety for the sake of his son and
daughter, both of whom have married
within recent years happily, it seems
although against their fathers wishes
According to one report here, the
countess will bring the suit against
the earl on the ground of infidelity
and cruelty. But then it will be ne
cessary to induce him not to bring
counter charges against her. But the
kings proctor might intervene to
prove the countess no better than her
husband, and thereby render divorce
impossible on either side.
The countess and her husband have
been seen together once since the re-
port that linked her name with that
of the millionaire. But the couples
separation is now complete and ire
vocable, apparently.

Mrs. Blatch says there are more

Of thousands of these women are as

according to the founder of the league

In New York said Mrs. Batch.
there is an instance to prove this
unequal situation. In the street clean

are employed and not one woman. OF
all the city departments this is the one
that women could most improve. For
centuries women have kept the world
clean. They have a better idea OF
cleanliness, whether it be in the house
or on the street, than men will ever
have. They might not care to sweep
