Tf an glish girl can get a banjo and learn to um a few chords, she will never quit it. The same is true of the young En- slish man. There are more banjoes in one English county than in the whole United States. “The Dandy Colored Coon” and “Sweet Marie” are in the preliminary ex- amination program of the London Untver- sity. Here in Brighton nigger minstrels parade the sands in wonderful long-tailed coats, White beaver hats and patent-ieather shoes. Each one of them can count on a group of a dozen deep around him from 6 a.m. till sunset, enraptured fathers and mothers sharing these pure joys with their ecstatic children.

Its incorabustible nature ren- ders it a complete protection from flames, but beyond this most valuable quality its industrial value is greatly augmented by its non-coi duction of heat and electricity, as well as by {ts important property of practical insclubility in acids. Where Asbestos is Found. Asbestos has been found in all quarters of the glete. It comes from Italy, China, Japan, Australia, Spain, Portugal, Hun- wary, Germany, Russia, The Cape, Central Africa, Canada, Newfoundland, Texas and other parts of this country, and from Southern and Central America.

Notwithstanding this wide distribution of Four of the Eight Children Are Still Living. From the Springfleld (Mass.) Republican. Time is removing the eight children—four sons and four daughters—who survived their father’s death on the scaffold in Virginia. The four children of the second marriage— Salmon, Anne (Mrs. Adams), Sarah and Elen (Mrs. Fablinger of Saratoga, Cal.)— are all living, and all but Salmon are in California, to which state they removed with their mother in 1864. Salmon has re- moved of late years to the state of Wash- ington, his sheep farming in northern Call- fernia having been a fallure. Mrs. Adams lives with her seven children at Petrolia, on the Mendocino river, and Sarah, unmar- ried, is-an art teacher at San Jose, not far frem her sister Ellen, who has a fruit farm at Saratoga and several children. Of the children of the first marriage of John Brown only two are living—Jason of Akron, Ohio, who once lived with his brother, Owen, on a hill r Pasadena, Cal., and Ruth (Mrs. Henry Thompson), who has long lived in the town of Pasadena, with her husband, children and grandchildren. She is sixty- seven years old, and in very feeble health. Her unmarried daughter, May, lives with her parents, and a granddaughter not far away. Jason {s seventy-three years old; his eldest brother, John, jr., who had lived for more than thirty years on Put-in-Bay Island, in Lake Erie, died there only in the spring of last year. The family of John Brown, jr., offer for sale his large collection of geo- legical specimens, domestic and foreign, which he made during many years, and his rveying instruments.-one of which was ‘s father’s compass, used by John Brown in Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Elba and Ka s—particularly at Ossawatomie and ong the Pottawatomie creek—near which is laid the scene of Arthur Patterson's novel, “For Her Sake,” of which Brown is the hero, now publishing in the weekly edi- tion of the London Times.

Before the development of the Canadian | fields, the Italian asbestos was supreme in the market. For nearly twenty years Italy has been looked to for the best grades of the fiber. From a point on the northern mountain slope of the Susa valley is taken the floss asbestos fiber, the appearance of which in gas stoves is so familiar. In the seme locality is found a fine white powder cf asbestos, which serves for paint and cther purposes. The mining {s carried on at a height of from 6,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level. But the Italian asbestos industry, once so important, {s already on the down grade. The difficulties of m!ning are very great, and unduly increase the cost of production. The asbestos itself, judged by the latest standards, is of inferior quality; it is not easy to spin, and it does not pulp well in the making of paper. The best grade is extremely rare, and its cost of mining and transportation is prohibitive. The supply from the Italian mines is rapldly falling off. As a matter of fact, Canada contains the great asbestos region of the world, in the sense that while its mines are practical- ly unlimited in productive capacity, the product is of a quality which fully meets the requirements of the newest and most exacting of the innumerable uses that are daily being found for it. Market in This Country. This district Hes in the eastern townships, It covers an area of about 2 miles in length, by six or eight miles wide. Nearly the entire yield is consumed in America. Out of a total export of crude ore from the deminion, of 3,936 tons in 1$S8, no less than 3,612 were taken by the United States. Since that time the output has more than doubled; indeed, it has been over 8,000 tons for the last few years. The rock carrying the. marketable asbestos is generally, on fresh fracture, a serpentine of some shade of green, in which are contained numerous small particles of iron, both magnetic and chromic. The asbestos, when separated from the rock, shows a glistening, gray, dark-green surface. The fiber, which is easily separable by the fingers, is white and silky and well adapted to the manufac- ture of textile goods. The method of mining is entirely differ- ent from that followed in Italy. It is, in fact, quarrying, more than mining, as the face of the rock is stripped, and the cut fs carried down until it reaches the asbestos- carrying serpentine, which 1s then removed and sent to the top of the quarry. The re- fuse rock, of which there is always an en- ormous quantity (possibly twenty or twen- ty-five tons to one of qsbestos), 1s loaded into cars, run off, and shot over on to the dumping ground. ‘he rock is passed di- rectly into the ‘‘cobbing” sheds, where boys chip or ‘cob’ the ore from it. The ore is then put up in bags and stacked away for shipment. On arriving at the factory, the crude as- bestos is placed under a huge roiler, which instantly reduces it to a clinging mat-like fibrous mass. This is rapidly passed through a@ succession of sifters and sepa- rators, which tear, strip and clean the fiber until it is ready for the different depart- ments for which it is to be graded. It is then taken up by blowers, and shot in a feathery, snow-like strea, pte) carivas: ins. Nothing more peauiipi an the ma- jal at this stage can be ffiagined. What @ few moments before was dark, sheeny Tock, has been transmuted into a white, shining mass of delicate, quivering down. Protection of Walls, The process of manufacture is intensely interesting, more especially from the fast that as the industry is constantly entering upon novel phases, new methods of treat- ment and special machinery"have to be de- vised. It will suffice to say that the asbes- tos is graded in the bins, 'dcording to its length of fiber. No. 1, whith is the highest grade, is used for carding): spinning and weaving. No, 2 is used to some extent for carding, as well as for cement, and for pipe covering, and as a substitute for No. 1 where the material permits” of a shorter fiber. No. 3 1s used largely in paper, and for many kinds of filters. =; One of its special uses is for wall plaster. This is a new application which will have a distinct effect In modifying the practice of indoor plastering. Instead of the ordinary tedious and elaborate preparation of studs and strips, and the use of inferior and dust- creating mortar, with its afte -scoring, which ts necessary to give cohesion to the final coat of plaster of Paris, a single coat- ing of the asbestos is laid on. ‘It has a glossy that will not crack, as, while firm, it 1s perfectly flexible. It can be put on the raw bric! and a room of which the walls have been built in the morning can before night have a smoothly finished in- terior surface, shining like glass and hard as a rock. A kindred application of asbes- tos is now coming into Vogue in the shape of uninflammable decorations for walls and ceilings. These are used a great deal for the saloons of steamships. They are em- bossed in very beautiful designs, and can be treated with gold, varnish, lacquers or any other substance, for the enhancement of their ornamental effect. Its Innumerable Uses, The applications of asbestos are now 80 infinite that it is impossible to enumerato them here; but a few of the more impor- tant of them may be mentioned. Firemen clad in asbestos clothing and masks, as are those of London and Paris, can walk through the hottest flame with comparative impunity. Asbestos fireproof curtains have reduced the mortality of theater fires in a very appreciable degree. In torpedoes, the difficulty of dealing with the charges of wet gun cotton is evercome by inclosing them in asbestos, the employ- ment of which has also, in a great measure, brought the dynamite shell to Its present efficienc, Asbestos is made into a cloth available for nutical purpose: A balloon made uninflammaile ma- terial escapes one of the most terrible den- gers to which an ordinarily constructed bal- loon is Hable. Probably one of the firs: ap- plications of asbestos in this country was to roofing. To buildings covered with this. material the shower of sparks from a neighboring conflagration involves no Gen- ger. One of the largest branches of astes- tos manufacture ts that of sectional cylin- ders for pipe coverings, for retaining the heat of steam and other pipes, felt protec- tive coverings for boilers, frostproof pro- tections for gas or water pip and cement felting, which can be laid on with a trowel, for the covering of steam pipes, boilers or stills, ‘An interesting innovation in this class of manufacture Is asbesto-sponge. It is not generally known that sponge has great powers Of fire resistance.

It was plainly hopeless attempt any understanding ot this anomaly, so I asked about something easier. “I should have thought the spark from such a current would have jumped farther than three feet,” I ventured. “So it would if I had wanted it to. I have frequently had sparks from my_ high-ten- sion machines jump the width or length of my laboratory, say thirty or forty feet. Indeed, there is no limit to their length, | although you can’t see them except for the first yard or so, the flash is so quick. It is just like lightning.

I don't suppose I average more than one in a year, and no one has ever been killed by one of my machines. I al- ways build my apparatus so that whatever happens it cannot kill any ont. The burn- ing of my laboratory two years ago was the most serious accident I have ever had. No one knows what I lost by that.” Joys and Sorrows of the Inventor. He shook his head and passed his large hand across his brow ir regretful reminis- cence. “You see,” he went on, “that is one of the sad things in an inventor's life. So many ideas go chasing through his brain that he can only setxe 2 few of them as they fiy, and of these he can only find the time and strength to bring a few to perfection. And it happens many times that another in- ventor who has conceived the same idzas anticipates him in carrying oui one of them. Ah, I tell you, that makes a fellow's heart ache. When my laboratory was burned there was destroyed with it apparatus I had devised for liquifying air by a new methcd; I was on the eve of success, and in the months of delay that ensued a German scientist solved the problem, just as I was about to solve it, and left me only the memory of what I might have done. I was go blue and discouraged in those days that I don't believe I couid have borne up but for the regular electric treatment which I administered to myself. You see, electricity Buts into the tired body just what it most needs—lIife force, nerve force. It's a great doctor, I can tell you, perhaps the greatest of all doctors.” I asked Mr. Tesla if he often fell into these periods of depression. “Perhaps not often, but now and then. Every man of artistic temperament has re- lapses from the great enthusiasms that buoy him up and sweep him forward. In the main my life is very happy, happler than any life I can conceive of. When I was a student I have known what it fs to sit at the gaming table forty-olght hours at a stretch. I thought that an intense emotion, the fascination of play, and I believe many pecple regard it as the strongest emotion, but I can tell you tHat for many years all the allurements of the game would have seemed tame and insipid to me compared with the tremendous, overmastering excite- ment of my life in the laboratory. I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the in- ventor as he sees some creation of his brain unfolding to success, as he watches some crucial experiment prove that through nonths of waiting and hoping he has been fa the right. Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, sickness, friends, love— everything.” What a gentle, tender light there was in This may’s eyes as he spoke thus, ahd yet there was something of sternness, too, al- most flerceness, as !f he had flung away with scorn all the world’s cherished prizes from devotion to these creatures of lis the | it edingly small, | ya mile long, | # brain.
