to very profitable account by being made
into these small balls. But in Saxony. the
substance used for this purpose is hard,
calcareOus stone, which is first broked into
blocks of suitable size. and nearly square,

of oak. or other hard wood. Of the same
diame,ric size. is placed over the stones and
partially resting upon them The small
block Of wood is KEEP, revolving while the
water flows upon the s,on. slab. IN about
fifteen minutes the stones nrc turned into
