A Wonderful Invention.

The Nitrificd Wheel Company Of West
field, Massachusetts, has, after a long series
of experiments, perfected a wheel of the
most wonderful cutting qualities ever made,
being made of corundum, the next hardest
substance in nature to the diamond. In q,
scale of twelve, rating the diamond at twelve,
cerundum stands at eleven, while emery
averages but eight and a half in hardness.
The difficult problem by so many of finding
Il base streng enough to hold corundupl,
without interfering with its cutting quail
ties, has at last been solved by "a happy com
bnation of material and an ingenious use
of the process of vitrihcation. The cost is
about twenty-five per cent more than the
vitrified emery wheels made by the same
company. This discovery, through the rapid
cutting qualities and extra durability of the
wheel, is destined to revolutionize the wheel
usiness Of the world.

pENESYLVANIA AVENUE

fENSSHINANiA AVENUE,
the Appan Way of our republic-was
graded while Jefferson was President, at
cost of Sl4 200; he personally superintended
the planting of four rows Of Lomhartly pop
lars along that portion of it between the
Capitol and the White House,-a row along
each curb stone, and two equi-distant rows
in the roadway, which was thus divided
into three parts, like Inter der Linden at
Berlin. In the Winter and Spring the
driveway would often he full of mud holes,
some of them axle deep, and some of the
cross streets would be almost impaSsab bic
beds of red clay, worked by passing horses
and wheels into n thick mortar. On one
occasion, when Mr.. Webster and q friend
undertook to 60 TO Georgetown in :: hackney
coach to attend a dinner party, the vehicle
got stuck III 4 mud hole, and the driver had
to carry his passengers, one at time, to
the sidewalk, where they stood until the
empty carriage could he pulled cut. Mr.
Webster, in narrating this Incl lent years
afterwards, used to laugh over his fears
that his bearer would fall beneath his
weight and ruin his dress suit. John Ran
lolph used to call Pennsylvania Avenue
"tle great Serbonian bog" and descant on
the dangers Of trip over it, to or from the
Union Hotel at Georgetown, in the large
stage with seats on the top called the "Royal
George"
The principal market, known as the
Marsh Market" occupied the site of the
present imposing structure at the corner of
Sixth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
The butchers were supplied with meats
from the excellent pastures Of the valley of
Virginia; wild ducks, terrapin, fish, lob
sters, and oysters were brought in boats
from the lower Potomac; and the neishbor
ing farmers had begun to raise vegetables,
following the examples set by the European
gardeners at Analo.tan Island, at Airing
ton, and at the garden in the southern part
of the city kept up to supply tins Indian
Queen tavern with vegetables. The market
prices, as ccllated from 4 number of account
books, averaged as follows: Beef from three
to ten cents per pound, mutton from five to
seven, veal from five to nine, pork from six
TO eight, chickens from twenty-five to sixty
two and one half cents FER pair, ducks the
same, butter from twenty to twenty-five
cents per pound; black fish from six to
eight cents per pound, sea bass from i've to
seven. Holsters from five to eight: potatoes
from thirty to forty cents per bushel, tur-
nins from three to five cents psr bunch, car
rots from three to five, heets from four to
six, ca5hases from three to four cent, each,
cucunbers two cents each, w.tcrmelons
four to sixteen cents each, muskmelons
three to five cents each Wood was gem

England for their especial use. In 1925,
Lehish coal was first introduced, but it was
scarce and high priced.

half n century has elapsed since | first saw
the federal capital during the adminstra-

it was no easy task to reach Washington
from distant parts of the country, and the
meDberS of Congress from those localities
used often to leave their homes three or four

was always n great demand for seats, just
before the commencement OF n session, on
all the line W hich centcred at the metropolis.
Travelling by stage coach, although tedi-
Gus, especially when the roads were bad,
was not without its attractions. Those who
were fellow passengers, even if strangers 10
one another, gradually entered into CONVEX
saton, and there was generally some one of
them who was acquainted with the route,
and was able to inipart interesting informa-
ton concerning the localities through which

abundant enjoyment of tie surroundings,
and oommonl v disposition to be ob!iging
| and considerate by giving up the best seats
| to indies, by consenting 10 the admission or
| the exclusion of fresh air, or by the conve-
nisnt arrangement Of the feet. OF course,
| the least aniahe qualities of human nature
would sometimes assert themselves, and
selfish persons would improve the orpor-
| tunity for making all of the passengers un-
| comfortable: but the air of the mail coaches
was generally surcharged with patient good
| humor.
Occasionally the coach would rattle into
village, the driver giving warning blasts
| upon his horn that the right of way must be
given TO the United States mail, and then
dash up to the stage tavern, before which
| would be in waiting fresh team of horses,
to take the place of those which had drawn
the coach from the previous stopping place.
