Wool from limestone by St Louis chemist in Indiana
E C Ball, a young chemist from St Louis now in Alexandria Indiana, runs a limestone wool project near the city limits. A secret process blends molten limestone with chemicals to create white woollike fibers with asbestoslike properties. The crude wool acts as a silica substitute for floor deadening, fire retardant partitions, and heat containment, with potential for crates and stoves lining. Scientists see a possible fortune in the discovery.
