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

When it leaves the cobbing sheds as

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 flbers are laid parallel in uni
form mass.
The next step Is to treat this mass
in 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
hard, strong thread Is required for GER
in doubling and twisting machine,
where two or more of the yarn threads
are combined. II the asbestos is to be
impregnated with rubber 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 1t was
found that, under the microscope, a
thread Of asbestos displayed 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

AN ANEcDoTE OF M'KiNLEY.
HIS Gentle Rebuke to a Department
Chiefs Subordinate.

Chiete Subordtnates
President McKinley's scrupulous 10y
atty to his cabinet officers Is spoken OF
as one of his chara cteristics. 1t Is said
that he never went over the heads OF
his secretaries to consult an assistant,
but held each to responsibility for his
department.
OF all the events Of his administra-
ton probably none was source OF
more anxiety to him than the decision
Of the supreme. court on the status OF
the colonies. 1t was a matter of great
moment whether the highest judicial
body should uphold the view OF the
administration that the constitution
sanctioned the possession Of colonies
which were not granted full represen-
tation There were conflicting rumors
and forecasts of the color Of the deci-
sion, and these added to the tension
felt at Washington. Shortly before
the announcement Of the finding Of the
court a subordinate officer Of one OF
the departments appeared at the White
House at an unusual hour and insisted
upon seeing the president on the plea
Of important business. Having been
admitted. he came at once to his err
rand.
"Mr. President, I have some good
news for you. l have just learned au-
thorita lively that the decision of the
supreme court is to be in your favor. I"
He fairly glowed with the importance
Of his welcome message.
"Thank you," said Mr.. Mckinley
quietly. "That is good news. But
have you informed your chief?"
mo, Mr.. President. thought you
ought to be the first to know it."
"Well, Mr.. -, I'm sorry for that.
Now, will you please do me the favor
to go at once to your chief and give
him the information so that he may
communicate it to me?"-Silas Harri-
son in Century.
