SPINNING ASBESTOS.
A Thread a Hundred Yards Long and
Only an Ounce In Weight.


When it leaves the cobbing sheds as.
bestos is sent TO the spinning mills in
bags containing about 100 pounds. 1t
is then first carded by machine
somewhat resembling the saw tooth
gin seen in cotton mills. This machine
separates the tangled fibers. upon the
completion of which operation there oc-
ours a final carding on regular card
ing machine. Leaving this carding ma
chine the asbestos is combed smoothly
and the fibers are laid parallel in uni
form mass.
The next step is to treat this mass
In a rotary spinning machine. First
the mass is spun into a coarse yarn.
Then it is drawn and spun until it be-
comes fine and quite strong. In case a
hard. strong thread is required for GER
tain fabrics the asbestos yarn is placed
in a doubling and twisting machine,
where two or more of the yarn threads
are combined. If the asbestos is to be
impregnated with rubber a smooth,
hard finished thread is not desirable.
For long time the problem of spin.
ming asbestos presented many diff
culties by reason OF the manner in
which the threads persisted in slipping
past one another. Eventually it was
found that, under the microscope, a
thread of asbestos displayed a notched
surface and that by means of special
twisting the spinning could be success
fully accomplished. The result is that.
after many years of experiment, manu-
facturers nowadays are able to turn
out single asbestos thread 100 yards
in length and not exceeding an Eunce
in weight.-Exchange.

THEY NEVER SEE SPo0KS.
That Is One Consolation That Color
Blind Persons Have.

6llnd Persons F1aNes
Are you afraid of the dark? There
isn't chance of you seeing ghost if
you are color blind, which may furnish
you a ray of comfort for the beauties
of landscape and floral decorations you
may have missed during your lifetime.
DR.. August hummer. head of the
physical institute of the University Of
BresIau, in Germany, is authority for
this.
DR.. hummer explains the phenome-
non in this way:
1.-THE normal eye has an arrangement
OF tiny rods and cones in the retina.
The rods perceive light and the cones
color. When a person with q normal
eye tries to see in half dark place
the cones, which are useless, interfere
with the effective action OF the rods,
and consequently the confusion creates
N,he effect of apparitions that come and
go and change their shapes.
1.-THE color blind person lacks the
cones, and his rods act with extraordi-
nary efficiency in the dark. The colo,1
blind person sees clear, permanent
outline of things as long as there vs. the
least amount of light present. That
means that he never sees ghosts"--

THE LAST HALF HOLIDAY

Not until next summer will Tempe merchants and business house em- Tloyes enjoy their regular weekly afternoon holiday. Yesterday was tlt' last. from now until the circulating of a petition next spring and then about three weeks later. The local clerks will slave day in and day out, Sunday off and here and there q holi- day distributed at no small intervals through the winter. Probably not over half of the merchants of Tempe took advantage of the regular Thurs day afternoon closing during the summer months but those who did it were fully appreciated Possibly next summer when it comes time to agi- tate a weekly afternoon closing move, local townspeople will come to the unanimous decision that such should be so.

The city is alarmed by the pre- dominance of crime and officer ''11f' is advanced to the lieutenant of the squad. A war on evil follows. The underworld alarmed, appeals for protection to the man higher up. Repeated attempts to bribc "1T4" are frustrated. Driven to extremity the man higher up tells the commissioner of police that '174'' is grafter and offers to prove it by q clcVerly devised scheme he succeeds and "174" is arrested.
