Asbestos is mined m vanoua parts
of the world. The asbestos of one
country varies as greatly in appear
ance from that of another country
as does the foliage of tb s trees and
plants native to each. There is,
however, one quality th a t all asbes

sesses, and th at is its indestructi
bility. No known combination of
adds, it is mid, affects the strength
or indeed even the appearance of
its fiber. The fiercest names leave it
unscathed.
Some varieties of asbestos are as
compact in texture as marble, tak
ing the highest polish, while others
show extremely loose, silky fibers.
“M ountain wood* is a variety pre-
ting an irregular, filament struc
ture like wood, and other form s of
asbestos are rock cork, mountain
leather, fossil paper end fossil flax.
Asbestos is really a species of
amphibole or hornblende, composed
of separable filamente with silky
luster. Its color varies greatly,

through many shades of
white, gray, green, brown, red and
even black.

A number of y ean ago a series of
prises for the beet detective story
was offered by a certain wall known
western newspaper, and the late F,
R. B urton, in collaboration with
fellow craftsm an, entered the com
petition. Their story, the theme of
which involved an ingenious method
of robbing a safe in spite of the
protection afforded by a tim e look,
was one of the five which won
prises, and the authors’ portraits
ware duly published in the issue of
the paper which announced the re
sult of the competition. The prim
mousy, constituting a considers hie
sum, was prom ptly paid over, but to
the authors’ surprise, although the
other four winning stories
published, th at of the tim e lock
failed to appear.
A fter e few weeks e representa

Burton, explaining th a t the editor
was anxious to know what authority
he had for his story and w hether it
would really be poaaible to rob a

set forth. With tha help of a pen

easily proved the accuracy of te e
method to the apparent satisfaction
of his interview er and thereafter
looked forward to e prom pt appear

later th e secret of th e delay
reeled.
A special envoy of the papar
waited upon him, full of
turn and apology, end prepared to
make any amends within reason, but
was em phatic in announcing th a t It
