Prof, Charles L. Norton. associate pro-

worked out a method of utilizing the
waste from asbestos mines and has in
vented a new fireproof material called
asbestos wood"
For a long time there has been mined
in the province of Quebec the mineral
asbestos. which. as generally known, is
sort of hbrOus rock This has been
used for making asbestos cloth, paper.

notice OF Prof. Norton. of the physical de-

ireproof substitute for wood, and he has
succeeded in making from this refuse
asbestos a substance which has been
called asbestos wood"
