MECHANICAL MARBLE.
 CUTTERS,

A machine has been set up in the carving building at the Rhode Island granite works Westerly, k. l., which will pronably revolutionlze all former methods of fine granite slate and marble cutting. It is called the pneumatic car yer. An air cylinder, run by steam, discharges into receiver, where an air pressure of from forty to fifty pounds is carried. This air is fed out in the carving rooms through large number of flexible tubes. which in turn are attached to the "pneumatlc carver V This tool consists of cylinder, in which is piston with a transverse ang- ular valve The latter controls the sev- eral parts of the piston. The com pressed air is admitted alternately above a,4d below the piston, The piston is not attached in the spindle or stem carrying the cutting tool, but drives it outward. This movement cuts the stone. The re- turn stroke is made by means of a powerful spring The stroke is short and is made with marvellous rapidity. The machine can be run at l5,0OO or 16,000 strokes per minute The work, man guides the cutting tool with his left hands and controls the pressure with his right, and Is able to turn the marvel ous stone chewer in all directions tC suit his work,-Er.

Good Advice in a Nnt She'll.

There are four organs in the human body
which are vital in their functions and deli
cate in their structure, and which give us an
immense amount of trouble. These are the
Heart, Stomach, Kidneys and Liver. II they
give us trouble it is because we neglect or
abuse them, and of course we must take the
consequences. The diseases Of these organs
are very numerous and often dangerous.
Luckily We now have Il remedy which has
proved just the thing for this class of diseas-
es. 1t is Peruna, purely vegetable com.
pound, that strikes right at the root of tue
whole trouble. This preparation was used by
DR.. Hartman most successfully in his general
practice for years before it was placed before
the general public; and it was its remarkable
success in his private practice that led him to
place it before the public for the benefit Of
mankind everywhere. Price 81 per bottle 6
