William Holmes, of Charlotte, VT,
tells of the death at Charlotte, not long
since, of an old Quaker who was the
LATEST man on record. His name was
Nicholas Wing, and he lived with his
wife and old maid daughter on the edge
OF Lake Champlain. The whole year
round Nicholas did not stroke of
work. His wife and daughter plowed,
sowed and harvested the crops, and in
fact did everything that was to be done
on the farm. Wing was noted far and
wide for his trousers. On the outside
of each leg row of four dozen buttons
was sewed in order that Mrs. Wing
could put them on for him. You see

She Band Saw.

EMglish mechanics are said to depend
much upon a tool which is but little
used In America, namely, a band saw
for metals Its construction, as de-
scribed. is similar to that of heavy
band saw. with third carrying wheel
for the saw, the object of this being to
remove the up moving side Of the blade
from the vicinity of the table, and thus
leave a deep throat through which a
large piece of work can be passed or a
wide plate turned. This third wheel is
placed at the back of the machine
about midway in the vertical height OF
the saw blade. The temper of the saw
is slightly harder than that of those
used for wood, and the teeth are sharp
ened straight across the blade by cut
ter with its teeth at the right height to
suit the teeth of the saw blade.
This tool is used for cutting of the
spines from steel castings, the ends of
bolts. to saw up steel, iron and copper
plates to any form, and to rough out
the jaw sof eccentric rods and other
forgings which would require the use
of slotting machines, pnd it cuts as well
on circle as upon straight line.
The blade is fabricated with soap and
water, and in a cut six inches long
through steel connecting rod jaw it
works freely, and satisfactorily. Not in
frequently circular saws of large dimen.
sions are used for the same purpose,
and. being mounted on heavy frames
and fed carefully up to their work, cut
of large pieces of steel, leaving nearly
a smooth surface on the face of the
cut. New Orleans Picayune.
