SToNE-CUTTING BY BAND-SAw.-
The "helicoidal wire cord'-frst APP
piled by M. Panlin Gay, of Marseilles
lis coming into use rs an effective
plan for cutting stone in many
European quarries. An engine drives
a continuous wire cord of about one
sixth of an inch in diameter, COM
posed of three mild steel wires
twisted together, this cord being
guided by grooved pulleys, and
stretched by a weighted truck on an
inclined plane. The cord is placed
upon the stone, and the cutting sand
is directed with water along the
course chosen. Stones so hard as
hitherto to be worked only by means
of pick or chisel are readily sawn, an
hourly cut-of one inch in granite or
four inches i'm marble being regu' arly
obtained in blocks fifteen or sixteen
feet long. A cord $50 yards long will
cut about seventy feet deep in blocks
fifteen feet long before being worn
out. Not only may blocks Of stone
be sawed, but they may be cut out of
the solid rock by sinking u shaft to
introduce The pulley-carriers.
TURNED IN NATURES MACHINE
SHoP.-Two almost perfect spheres
about four inches in diameter-one
one black and of vegetable origin,
and the other white and y mineral
product-were lately exhibited to the
Geneva Society of Physics and Natur-
al History. Both were remarkable
as having been produced by a
mechanical movement. The black
ball was one of two formed by the
slow rolling together of dust in q
cavity Of the oak shaft of an old mill
wheel; and the white ball was q call
careous pebble found with many
Others In a grotto traversed by a tor
rent flowing into the Rlone.
A French physician reports cases in
which the usual incubation period of
measles-twelve to fourteen days
seems to lave been considerably ex-
ceeded. In two cases the disease APP
peared at least twenty days after ex-
posure, and in the third case IN nifie-
teen days.

AN INGENIOUS ELECTRIC LAMP.-
A Belgian Inventor, M. Henri Pieper,
has devised a new and very simple
incandescent lamp, A thin pointed
rod of carbon, placed vertically, rests
upon two horizontal copper rods
about a quarter of an inch apart, and
forms a bridge between them. The
current passes between the copper
rods through the carbon, rendering it
incandescent. Springs move the
copper rods slightly when the carbon
is consumed, and prevent the break
ing of the circuit. 49,

PRorEcrIvE PA1STs.-The Dutch

State Railways have made a series of
experiments to determine exactly the
relative resistance to weather and sea
water Of various pigments. Red lead
paints, being more adhesive to metal
and more elastic, were less effarted
by atmospheric changes than those
composed of the brown oxides of
iron. The protection afforded by any
paint vas found to be increased by
picking the plates In hyrochloric
acid before its application. Admix-
ture with the oxide of some electro
positive metal, such as caustic lime
or soda, prevented corrosion by sea
water; but only magnesia proved long
serviceable, as the efficiency Of the
others was diminished when their
alkaline properties were neutralized
by carbonIc acid, which they-unlike
magnesia-readily absorb. The mag
nesia not only protected the iron from
galvanic action, but had no eftecton
the antl-fouling qualities of the paint.

The G A. r. Picnic.

The G. A. r. picnic, held on the river
near the bridge proved in every way a
success and was, no doubt, the event of
the season. The day was-(for partic-
ulars as TO weather and scenery see the
poem, Dakota" in our last issuc).
About hundred carriages came loaded
with people and total number cannot
have been far short of three hundred
The morning was spent in social
way-in renewing old ac4uaintances
and forming new ones. At noon the
Ladies Relief Corps served dinner and
the splendid cold chicken and ham
furnished "the boys" an occasion for
many joke and story, as these dishes
very foreibly reminded them of the
days when they constituted their own
''relief corps" and had relieved" the
Southern planters of many fat pullet
and porker.

The Fargo Republican says that it
is generally conceded that Cass coun-
ty is entitled to the governorship of
North Dakota. Well now, that is
news for fact, and we are glad to
know it, but as the Republican is the
only paper that comedies anything
of the kind, we cannot see how it is
generally conceded" 1t winds up
by asking: "Who is the man?" L

in everyday life. Another valuable
feature is found in the illustrations

SHE GETS HER DOVER.
Verdict for the Plaintiff in an Intere

2 The jury in the Smith will case, which
was on trial for ten days at Mount
Holly, n. j., have decided in favor of
Eveline B. Smith, of Woodstock, VT,
who brought suit to recover her dover
in the property of the late Heze
kiah B. Smith, ex-congressman
from that county, and formerly a
very prominent public man, and
also to establish the legitimacy of her
three children, one son, Elton Smith,
wealthy merchant of Savannah, Ca, an
other son, Eugene Smith, Vermont
farmer, and the third child, married
daughter Mr.. Smith died in 1886, leav-
ing his entire estate, valued at several
hundred thousand dollars, to be devoted
to the establishment of school Tor the
education of young men in the mechan-
ical arts. Mr.. Smith, after marrying
the plaintiff in Boston in 1916 and living
with her IN various places in the East,
finally deserted her and came to
Mount Holly. He bought the extensive
machine shops at Smithville, which are
known as the II. B. Smith Machine
Company, and became very wealthy.
In 1869 Mr.. Smith contracted second
marriage with a Miss Gilkerson, OF
Lowell, Mass. The second wife died in
1885, and the claims of the first wife to
recognition have been opposed by the
relatives of the second wife. The Jury
deliberated less than an hour and on
announcing their verdict in favor of the
plaintiff there were many demonstra-
lions of approval in the court room.

named Sink, and an American 5armer
named Merchant purchased a dozen
chickens. When ready to start home
he fonnd two chickens miss
Ing and complained to Sink, who
tod him to take something of equal
value. He caught goose and started
lone. but was overtaken by party Of
eight Russians who claimed the ose as
their property. A wrangle ensued that
attracted others to the scene and soon
general fight was in progress, in which
some twenty men were engaged. with
the Russians as the aggressors. Two
brothers named johnson who were
passing joined in the melee with
knives. A Russian named May
er was stabbed and he in
turn split Charles Johnson's head
with neckyoke, inficting q fatal
INJURY. The same weapon broke the
arm Of George Johnson, and the knives
were used to slash up three Russians
badly but not fatally The Americans
found the force opposing them too
strong and withdrew from the field.
The wounded Russians were taken care
OF by their companions and nothing can
be learned from them. The affair has
created much excitement and an inves-

THE DYNAMITE CRUISER.

The Second Test of the Vosuvius Results
Satisfactorily.
The new dynamite cruiser, Vesuvius,
which left Cramps shipyard, Philadel-
phia, on the 9th, for the Delaware Bay,
there to have a test of her speed, re-
turned to the shipyard next day. The
course in the bay where the trial was
made was reached before dark and al
though the wind was blowing a gale, the
sea was heavy and there were other
disadvantageous conditions, the con-
traitors concluded to have a trial
before dark. The course Of two miles
was made in FIVE minutes and ftty-four
seconds, three seconds faster than the
time fixed by the board as requisite to
a rate of twenty knots. Another run
was made In six minutes tWenty-one
seconds, which was tw enty -four seconds
overtime. The vessel then anchored
and next morning another trial was
made. During the run, however, one
OF the air-pump levers broke and the
last half knot was run with only one
engine. The time was six minutes
eighteen seconds and the trial was then
abandoned and the Vesuvius returned
to the city. Heavier air-pump levers
will be provided and another trial will
be made as soon as they are fitted. The
horse power developed at the time the
ir-pump lever broke was 1890.

SEVEN ACRES BURNED.
Marblehead, Mass, Visited by $780,,
900 Fire.

A dispatch Of the 25th says: Marble
head is on fire tonight for the second
time in her history. The entire BUSH
ness portion Of the city is burned. The
destruction of the telegraph Office makes
it difficult to send particulars, but an
Office has been improyised in field
outside the city limits. The fire started
about 10 p. NJ. in the basement of D. P.
Powers furniture store on Pleasant
Street, and is said to be caused by the
explosion of can of benzine. At
have been burned over and the entire
loss is at least s5OO,oo Among the
buildings that have been burned are
Powers block, VIM. Goldthwaite d
Bros three-story building, Monroe's
harness factory, three-story block, &C.
cupied by dry goods stores and the Bos-
ton branch grocery on the first floor,
Masonic hall on the second and skating
rink on the third; the four-story Allen
ton block, American Express building,
Simons' variety store, the dwellings Of
Daniel Benton, George Church and
Thomas Falls, Metcalf' box factory and
other buildings. The following firms
are also In ruins: E. s. Woodbury.,
Johnson Horner, j. q. Peach, VIM.
Stephens Jrs. Il Son, and Edward
Hathaway. Joshua Lefevre, also the
Boston & Maine Depot. 1t is the largest
fire that ever visited this place and the
people are panic-stricken. Two families
lived in the Powers Block where the
fire originated, but fortunately escaped.
Nearly the same locality was burned
over twelve years ago. The fire started
in nearly the same place. Many of to-
nights victims were also sufferers by
the former fire.
The shoe business, which has been
quiet for several months past, was just
starting up, and many operatives will
now be thrown out Of work the entire
winter. The fire is still burning. 1t is
impossible to get definite loss owing to
the great excitement prevailing among
ali classes
