The Sand Blast.

Among the wonderful and useful in
ventions of the times is the sand blast.
Suppose you desire piece of marble
ifor gravestone; you cover the, stone
witha sheet OF wax no thicker than a
wafer; then you cht in the wax the
name, date, ETC., leaving the. marble
exposed. Now pass it under the blast
and the sand will cut it away. Re-
move the wax and you have the cut let
ters.I Take a piece of fine French plate
glass, say two by six feet, 1coverIit with
"a piece Of fine lace and pass it under
the blast, and not a thread of the lace
viii be injured, but the, sand will cut
deep into the glass wherever it is not
covered by the lace. Now remove the
lace and you have a delicate and beau
tiful figure raised on the glass, In this
way beautiful figures Of all kinds are.
cut in glass and at small expense.
The workmen can hold their hands un+
der the blast without harm, even when
it is rapidly cutting away the hardest
cutting glass, iron or stone, but they
mast look out for finger nails, for they
will be whitfield off right hastily. III
they put, on. steel thimbles to, protect
the nails it will do but little, good, for
the sand will soon whittle them away;
but If they wrap q piece Of soft cotton
around them they are safe. :, You will
at once see the philosophy of it. The
sand whittles away and destroys
any hard substance-even glass--bnt
does not affect substances that are soft
and yielding. like wax, cotton, fine lace
or even the human hand.--Journag of
Science.
