Mica Now in
Great Demand

Any way, II was not isinglass at all
In the front of the stove. Had it been,
1t would have lasted as long as paper,
for isinglass is made of the air blad-
ders of certain fish and Is a soluble
combustible substance. What really
was In the stove windows was mica,
one of the oldest of natural SUBJ
stances, and which is now one of the
greatest boons in the electrical indus
try as perfect insulatOr. SO impor-
tant is mica, in electrical goods, it is
declared, that many of the larger cleo
trical supply manufacturing companies
own and operate their own mica mines.
Split Into Thin Plates.
Mica, says the bureau, includes a
group of several minerals character
lied by perfect basal cleavage by
virtue of which they may be split into
exceedingly thin plates.
How often MS Il youngster did you
make wonderful finds of gold" or
silver" among the rock deposits near
the homestead? OF course, the
dreams of wealth vanished when you
found the silvery or golden flakes
were only mica. Such mica has no
commercial value; it is only when II

fects, varying in width and length

OF the several varieties of the min
eral only two are Of commercial
value, the "muscovite" or white mica,
and the "phlogopite" or amber. India,
Canada and the United States are the
chief producers.
Has Special Qualities.
Mica possesses combination Of
special qualities which Is found in no
other substance, consequently no sat
isfactory substitute has been found.
Chief among these qualities are elas-
ticity, toughness, flexibility, trans
parency, ability to Withstand exces-
sive heat and sudden changes Of tenn
perature, high dielectric strength.
cleavability and resistance to decom-
position.
An important use of electrical mica
Is for interviewing between the cop
per segments of commutators. Thin
films are used in vast numbers In con-
densers for magnetos and In wireless
apparatus. As sheets In greatly d.
versified shapes, or as washers and
tubes. mica Is used extensively as an
insulator in dynamos and in various
appliances, In fuse boxes, sockets, in.
sulators, electric heaters, flatirons, tex
ephones, etc.
AS heat-ressting, transparent me
dium, sheet mica Is still used In fur
mace sight holes, for heat screens,
lamp chimneys, canopies and shades,
particularly for gas mantles. also for
military lanterns and lantern slides.
It's ability to Withstand strains and
shocks, combined with its transpar-
ency, has led to wide use in motor
goggles, spectacles, divers helmets,
smoke helmets, compass cards. gage
fronts and In windows subject to
shock such as on the coming towers
of battleships.

Henry Wisham Lanier has had the ex-
cellent idea of gathering together a sheaf
of legends and stories about giants, from
the Oldest days down to our own. Most of
the best giants were only fancies, worse
luck, but perhaps they have the best of it,
for there is hardly limit to the size they
may attain and the mad adventures they
meet. While George Anger, the newest
and realest giant is put eight feet four
inches tall and though he dresses as a
cowboy, he appears to have done nothing
more thrilling than to sit before admiring
crowds in the sdeshow of a circus. "A
