Diatons are tiny creatures that mul.

Of an inch in diameter and often con
siderably less. Their shells are com

well known tn the microscopic on ae-
count of their great beauty.
When the little creatures die the
shells sink 10 the bottom of the stream
or pond. where they form kind Of
silceous mud. and there are vast de-
posits of this material in various parts
of the earth. This infusoriai earth. as
it Is called. has been christened di-
atomite. aud it is being used for a
variety Of purposes under the name
kieselguhr II is employed as a We

? the resultant paste is dynamite
Di. lite is an excellent nonconductor
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 covering for
steam pipes and boilers. For such pur-
poses as these il has an advantage
over asbestos in the matter of price
and also Of weight
1t can be made into bricks or slabs
by the addition of a small quantity of
lime or clay. and these bricks can be
raised to Il white heat without show
ing any signs Of fusion.
Diatomite occurs in great quantities
in the United States. in Prussia. in
parts of Scotland. in Canada and to
lesser degree in Western Australia
