MAGNESIA 
BUILDING LUMBER 
(PATENTED) 
(M AGNESI ALITH) 
Composed of the natural fibre of Magnesia Silicate, this 
novel article of manufacture is made by first felting these 
fibres carefully and systematically by means of suitable 
machinery and then cementing the fibres together by means 
of an artificially made Magnesia Silicate, which, forming a 
homogeneous structure, thus unites to create a new article of 
commerce suitable for the most extensive employment as a 
permanent fire-stop in the erection of buildings, partitions, 
roofs, etc., and as a preferred backing in the bulkheads of 
vessels, etc., etc.
