SAY ASBESTOS is
AS OLD AS EARTH
Strange Mineral Is Soft as
Wool and Hard as Steel.

Although on sight II seems fragile
enough to melt in the heat of the hand,
asbestos will not dissolve even when
exposed to temperature Of 1900 de-
grees Fahrenheit. s so
1t can be made into material as hard
as steel or as soft as the softest wool.
A single strand Of 1t can be spun so
fine as to weigh less than one ounce
for every hundred yards Of its length.
Without it, trains could not move at
more than snairs pace, comparative
" speaking, while workshop machinery
Of all kinds would be infinitely less eff
ficient. Theaters and cinemas could
not be. safeguarded from the danger
of fire, and the heating arrangements
OF hotels. and other public buildings
would be far less complete.
Not unlike molasses in appearance,
1t looks good enough to eat. Its fibers
are soft and feathery, yet in the mass
1t is as hard and as unwieldy as the
rock from which 1t Is. obtained.
Many people suppose that asbestos
is a manufactured articlean "inven-
tion" Of recent times AS a matter Of
fact, II was known at a very early pc
Rod in history, under the name Of sala-
mander. A Mogul emperor is said to
have wiped his moustache on a sala-
mander handkerchief, while Charlie
magne once amazed his guests at
feast by throwing a salamander table
cloth into the fire and plucking 1t out
again untouched by the flames.
Asbestos is quarried from the earth,
like stone. Blasting operations are
carried on in deep pits, into which
men descend with small hammers and
dislodge the exposed mineral from the
rocks Where 1t is unexposed. the
rock is sent to the surface and crushed
by machinery, which also extracts the
fbers. Fifty tons of rock yield one
ton Of asbestos. The best quality as
bestos comes from Canada.
Scientists say that the mineral is
probably as old as the earth itself, and
that 1t was formed as result Of the
terrific pressure that was set up by the
cooling of the earth's crust.
In the first days of steam locomOtion
tow was used in mending high-pres-
sure pipe that had burst. Today ashes
tos has taken its place. The go miles
an hour which some Of our latest en-
gines attain, is due almost entirely to
the asbestos VESTS" which cover the
boilers. preventing even the slightest
leakage of heat or steam.
If we had no substance like asbestos,
not only would our trains be unable to
run at anything like their present
G speeds. butsour steamers would be al
i most useless, while motor cars would
have no satisfactory brakes. Where
ever friction or leakage OF heat has to
be combated. asbestos is the only.
really effective substance to counter
act either defect. and its value to the
world is certainly incalculable. Lon
