CAN Stone BE HEwN BY STEAM -
Many people who are accustomed only to
the slow process Of pecking with chisel and
mallet, will be astonished when they are
told that rough stone can be hewn down,
snootbsd and polished by the power Of
steel and steam.
There is in this city large building de-
voted to stone cutting in this modern FASH
ION, situated on the banks Of the canal, a
short distance south Of the Capitol. It has
been under trial three years in New York,
and il some of the splendid new blocks on
Broadway could speak they might tell an
interesting story Of their birth. The cost of
elegant and substantial building materials
must he greatly reduced by this innovation
