Wool Made From Stones
Possibility of Future

Manufacture on a large scale OF
rock wool from mineral deposits in
the Niagara peninsula of Ontario is
indicated by report issued by the
Canadian department of mines. This
conclusion is based upon successful
experiments in the departments lab
oratories where rock wool of high
quality has been made from
samples of rock obtained from the
deposits.
to the present, has not been manu-
featured In Canada. 1t Is used as
an insulator for all types of build
ings and for numerous Industrial
purposes where it is not subject to
excessive vibration.
With the development of very
long-fibered, flexible wool that does
not break down under vibration
such as has been produced on an
experimental scale from Canadian
raw material, its field of service in
blanket form may be extended to
insulation for ships and railway
trains. A new and steadily widen
ing market for rock wool is In the
sound proofing and acoustical treat
ment of auditoriums, offices, the
aters and radio stations. Its fire.
proof and vermin-proof nature makes
IL especially valuable for these Pur-
poses.

Muriel carefully stuck sprig of holly
in the knot of her red tissue ribbon.
When Agnes replied it was in a
more serious manner:
"Since you ask me so pointedly,
Muriel dear, l think, perhaps, If Har-
old lost his money during the depres-
sion, as so many did. and If he were
to present himself now as a man win
ming his way through his own efforts,
might trust myself to adventure
along with him. But, fancy, it is too
late. He's probably found some less
adventurous soul ere this"
"Most likely" Muriel answered, as
she rose to answer the door bell which
had been persistently ringing. "Guess
we're home alone" She hurried down
the stairs.
Five minutes later she was back,
trying vainly to refrain from any show
of excitement:
"Some one on business for you,
Agnes. He's the persistent kind, in
sisted he had to see you right now"
"Oh, well, all right. I'll go down
and get it over with" Agnes took off
her smock and departed.
Muriel heard Agnes surprised ejac-
ulation, but it was some time before
she was summoned to join the two In
the living room below.
"Muriel Is just dying to congratu-
late me-" Agnes gayly greeted her
younger sister. Behold, sister mine,
I've actually won in contest. You
see, Harold is managing editor now of
the paper that was running this par
ticular contest. When the judges were
sort of stuck as to which of three peo-
pie had won second prize they referred
the matter to him and. recognizing your

it."

Muriel did not try to conceal her dis
appointment.

iy. 81 let Agnes speak first. But the
reason I had for bringing Agnes the
prize In person was to see If / could

Just then the door of the room ad-

overcoated young man appeared. This
time it was Agnes turn to show aston
