Discovery Made by a Chemist In a Steel Plant at Anderson, Ind. Anderson, Jan. C. Hall, a St. L.ouls man brought to Alexandria to take charge oil the Union Steel company's chemical laboratory, has made a most remarkable discovery whereby he is enabled to convert limestone into mineral wool.

In making experiments month ago in hopes of findingachem- Ical solution needed at the steel mill he found that certain kinds of limestone converted into a lava when subjected to chemical preparations and teat instead of becoming brittle. On this he began to work and has succeeded in making the purest white mineral wool that could be found. In a refined state it can be used in the finer textures and in the rough state it partakes of the nature of asbestos. Trial of a School! Teacher. Lebanon.

When winter sets in, the mist from the falls congeals and forms a mound or hill of ice, very steep and slippery.

Steps are cut in the sido nearest the waterfall, and up this, clad in their picturesque "blanket" suits, a gay crowd climb, dragging their toboggans after them. Arrived at the top, they go whirling down the slope and out into the St. Lawrence river with frightful rapidity. The mound is so precipitous and rhe speed attained by the toboggan so great, that the slightest irregularity is apt to produce an upset, generally resulting in broken bones. Although the feat is extremely dangerous, it is the custom of Jean Dorval to visitf tho spot once each season and shoot tbe hill on Norwegian skis.

The act is one of ex- tremo danger and hazard, but the plucky Norwegian has never failed to accomplish it successfully. HORSE RACING. Promising Ontlook for the Bit New York Events Next Year.

The great evils which result from corruption in the municipal affairs of Chicago, she said, arise not so much from the fact that money is taken, from the public treasury, but from the fact that political ideas are becoming debauched and the true ideals of Democracy lowered.
