A New York gentleman paid visit OF
inspection to the West Rutland marble
quarries recently, for the purpose of as
pertaining relative 10 the cost OF marble
saving by the present method. The gen.
tleman has devised q meas for marble saw
ing which if practicable would seenAdes-
tined to create quite revolution id the
business and be of immense advantage.
In the stead of sand the gentleman proposes
the use of small particles of chilled iron,
(produced by driving the molten particles
suddenly into cold water.) 1t is claimed
that by the use of these particles the abili-
ty to saw marble can be increased fully
1900 per cent. For example, where one
inch in 12 hours is now sawed, by the new
| process ~ inches can be sawed in one hour
| Experiments have been made in New York
and Philadelphia, and the thing seems lt
be success. Quincy granite, as is vel
knswn, is exceedingly flinty, and is required
| to be cut by fine hammers. The improve
ment process cnts it at the rate of IL inches
an hour. Sandstone can be cut by whiE
saw at the rate of 80 inches an hour.
