Meerschaum Pipes Meerschaum Is the name given to one of the silicates of magnesium. It Is a mineral of white, creamy color, and receives Its name from Its appear ance and the position In which It is sometimes found, suggesting that It was petrified foam from the sea. It Is obtained from various places, but the best quality comes from Asia Mi nor. Itlch deposits of It exist at a place called Sepetdje, about twenty tulles from ICsklehehir. It Is soft when dug, .but becomes tiard when dry. Most of It Is sent to Vienna, -or was before the war, where It was made Into tobacco pipes, many of then; highly nrtlstlc. Similar pipes are made In London and Paris. The pipes are cut into shape and afterward pol ished. Among the Lost Art?
