26、xperimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. after putting on a pair of asbestos gloves, which looked much like ordinary work gloves, he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands. how astonished the customers were to discover tha

28、（巖脈），in the province of quebec in canada.ever since 1881 quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral, which is made up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen. when it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be. when it is separated, a strange th
