siderably less. Their shells are COM

well known to the microscopic on ac-
count of their great beauty.
When the little creatures die the
shells sink to the bottom Of the stream
or pond. where they form a kind Of
siliceous mud, and there are vast de-
posts of this material in various parts
of the earth. This infusorial earth. as
it is called. has been christened d.

/ variety of purposes under the name

of heat, and in this capacity it is used
for filling the hollow interiors of the
walls of safes. as a lining for stoves
and furnaces and as a covering for
steam pipes and boilers. For such pur-
poses as these it has an advantage
over asbestos in the matter Of price
