The Diamond Stone SAW.

One of the great attractions of Power
Hall is the diamond stone saw, in the
southwest corner Of the hall. tits a new
invention, and is bound to revolutionize
the previously established methods Of
stone saving. The saw accomplishes in
stone what the circular saw does in wood,
aud works pretty much in the same way.
The machinery IS massive, and weighs
about "a, 900 pounds. The saw is circu
lar, 73 inches in diameter, armed with As
diamonds and case-hardened steel points.
By simple contrivance, and without
changing the velocity of the main shaft
the speed of the saw may be varied from
5 to 500 revolutions per.minute, IAN advan-
tage of importance, as in the use Of hard
metal points, a slow speed and heavy feed
ere required, while in the use Of diamonds
for the cutting points the reverse is ne
cessary. The carriage for feeding the
stone to the saw is moved by separate
feed motion, back and forth much faster
than when the saw is cutting, and single
hand lever is sufficient for this. The
feeding of the stone to the saw may be
varied from sixteenth Of an inch to four
inches at each revolution,th the feed motion
being taken from the mandrel of the saw
Water is fed to the saw while cutting, but
it is found unnecessary to use the dia
mond points except for stone harder than
the ordinary grindstone. For the other
kinds Of stone steel points suffice.
The diamonds are the rough black
stones of She lapidary. No cutting or
preparation is needed. The diamond is
Iimbedded in copper, with point at ar
angle exposed, and thus mounted, the di
amond is set in ejaws of clamp fitted
into gap in the periphery Of the saw
and held in place by wedges. A diamond
is neverlost and can not drop out
Straight saws to be used with reciprocity
motion are also diamond pointed under
the patent which the exhibitor holds OF
this wonderfully labor saving invention
| for cutting stone.

The Danger of Wet Coal.

People who prefer wetting the win
ter's store Of coal to lay the dust on
putting it in their cellars, do not, we
believe, generally know that they are
laying up for themselves store of sore
throats and other evils consequent upon
the practice. But so it is said to be
Even the fire damp which escapes from
coal mines arises from the slow decom
position of coal at temperatures but
little above that of the atmosphere, but
under augmented pressure. BY wetting
mass of freshly broken coal and put
ting it into warm cellar, the mass is
heated to such degree that carburetted
and sulphuretted hydrogen are given
off for long periods of time and perva
des the whole house. The liberality Of
wet coal to mischievous results under
such circumstances may be appreciated
from the circumstance that there are sew
eral instances on record of the combus
ton of wet coal when slowed into the
bunkers or holds Of vessels. And from
this cause, doubtless, many missing
coal vessels have perished d.-Londor

A Slight Mistake.

A wag walked into saloon in New
York lately where three men were Sit
ting round a fireless stove. AS he en-
tered all eyes were turned toward him.
Apparently. taking mental interview
of the number Of people in the room,
the new conner stepped up to the bar
and blandly ordered four glasses of
beer. The boots that had adorned the
top of the stove now sought the floor,
three men cleared their mouehs of to-
bacco, and all looked at the barkeeper
as he filed the glasses and placed them
in row on the bar. When everything
was ready the three lcungers rose and
the stranger paid for the beer. Then
starting with the glass furthest from
the door, he emptied all that the bal
keeper had filed and quickly left iht
saloon. Then three chairs were respm
ed.

County Correspondence.
Written for The Spirit of Democracy. !
From SIInSbary Township,

Ed. SPIRIT: On the I4th day of this
month Mr.. George Lindsey, highly es
teemed citizen of Washington Tp., Bel
mont Co., left his home to 60 to a neigh
bors to get some sheep, and having con-
siderable trouble to get them separated
sent little boy to obtain help. While
the boy was gone it would seem likely
that the old man had continued 10 exert
himself to separate the sheep; and the
intended help arriving, great was their
CONSERVATION to find the old gentleman
lying dead in the field. He leaves wife
and several children to mourn his loss
He has been for many years consistent
member of the NJ. E. Church, and un
doubtedIy died peacefully, though alone.

Cut OF Patience.

The other day as Detroiter was rid
ing on the Pontiac road, says the De-
troit Free Press, be came across an old
lady seated in buggy which had been
halted within few yards Of the Grand
Trunk railroad track. She seemed to
be uneasy about something, and as he
drove up she asked, Say, mister, hain't
that engine going to come along pretty
soon! :" He asked her to explain, and
she pointed to the sign. which reads,
Look out For the Engine" and added,
GIVE waited more'n two hours for the
ole engine to 60 by, but I'm getting
tired, and if it don't come pretty soon

remain single all her life than marry the
man she saw in her dream.
