VALUABLE INSULATING
VEATERIAL FOUND.
The important discovery that cer-
tain deposits of rock in- the Niagara
district of Ontario are suitable for the
production of rock wool, a valuable
insulating lining and ,covering ,mat-
erial, is atenlaunicesl, ; The report dea'l's
with the possibility of establishing an
industry in -Ontario and manufactur-
ing rock wool, mdhich is classed as
one of the most effective insulating
nvaterials known. Reek wool, or min-
eral wool as it is sometimes called, is
not ananutfacture'd in Canada at pres-
ent, as Ifi'fihento suitalble raw materials
were net known to exist within the
1Dometliton, It is made from shaly
limestones wlhich possess oerbain.'de-
finite ohareoterietics. Research oarried
on iodinate that sevenal deposits at im-
pure limestone outor'opping at various
places between Niagara Fells and 11.a -
mitten are suitalble for ivaking rock
wool Im the process of manufacture,
the natural rock is mixed with cake'
and charged to a small levet furnace,.
Where it is melted, the molten rock
issuing in a small stream fram, the
lyase of the furnace is blown into a
'myriad of snail ,globules by a blast of
high pressure steam. As the molten
glo!buges beetle through the air each
develops e very thin, pltialble, glassy
fibre behind it. This filbre is known
as rock wool. The discovery of the
suitability of .the Niagara d'istrict rock

ity suggests the pb'ssq'bility of a new

is to dig a ditoh wide enough for two

though there would be added speed
on account of freedom from obstruc-
